send out for help to the city lie
had brought me evil tidings; my hus-
band wrote in a hurry to say that he
had been called across the bay to at
tend an old patient, and would not
be home until the next morning
This was dreadful news, indeed.
Alone in the house with this strange
ly.actiog man, with no one near
night shutcrng down, and my hope
Of my husbands return suddenly
cut off; was over woman so horribly
situated? But in the darkness Of
de,pair | caught one & cam Of hope.
There was no excuse Tor the gen
tIemau from Reno to tarry any
longer. | told him, with i'll conceal
ell triumph, that my husband would
not be at home until the next day,
and he would be sre to meot him
at The uine o'clock oat. SO | rose
and looked significantly at his huge
soft hat, hanging on my best of
Clytie, stood ready to show him to
the door. He said, "Oh, well, it
don't make any difference to me, l
can jest wait herofor him. Ireckon
you can bunk me in somewhere, and
it wont be lonesome to you if you
have man about the house, seeing
as your old man s not round.
In vain | protested that | was
used to being alone (Which was Il
hb), and that it would not be con
yenient for me to have him stop.
He declared with horrible irony that
| should be half scared to Geath if J
was left alone, and that he could
"lop down on the floor or anywhere
if | had no spare bed for him. He
had Jared much worse before now in
Reno,
50 he stayed. | can never forget
nor despict the horrors of that night
He sat alter supper chatting with
;,'or,j.lIo H;nas rb;ob .Mo and
Hank" had done when they campcd
together in brandy Canon in 1850,
