She was a republican by profession, and n
democrat by instinct. She swore the most

and these bills they audited ut every meet

That death In its rayagcs was passing her o'or,
Surprising, no doubt, he had killed her before.
But he had not, and Mollie still lived n
wonderful instance of the perverscness OF
woman refusing to do that which ever, e

Mollio was not the only wicked person

They repaired to the Office Of the police
court. The police magistrate has an orig

wished to be married. The magistrate,
with uplited hand. said:
Jim, you do agree 60 take Mollie, and
live with her, and go to Cheyenne with her.
and stay with her regardless of law and
consequences ? Yes
Mollie, you do agree 10 take jim, and
live with him, and 60 TO Cheyenne with
him, and stay with hun, regardless of law
and consequences = Yes
Then l give you these two railroad
tickets, and order you 10 stay there until
the vigilance committee doth hang YOU
both. Amen
Aud Alollie and Jim took their depart
