The disappointed rufiian turned sui
lenly away toward his borrowed horse.
AS he passed Mary, who still stood by
the side of Prince, he applied to her an
insulting epithet, for which the spirited
girl, ablaze with Indignation, slashed
him full in the face with riding
whip. .-
Smarting with rage and pain, the bur-
w rascal doubled his bohy fist ana struck
fiercely at the girl. secs
But our hero interposed and received
the blow, which sent him staggering in
to the arms of George Phillips. Recov-
ering himself quickly, he snatched the
pistol from the young mans belt, and
advanced upon Petty, whose revolver
was already out, and who, falling back,
fired three shots, all of which missed,
before William Prince could adjust his
weapon. A fourth shot clipped off a
lock of Williams hair. Prince still adj
yancing as fast as weakness would per-
nit, aimed and fired, just as Petty was
turning to run, terror stricken by the

Another Ghost Story.

Everybody conversant with political
affairs and the history of the republican
party will remember how exultingly the
party demanded the extinction "of those
twin relics Of barbarism, slavery and
polygamy." As an incident of civil war
slavery persisted. Polygamy still remains
although the republicans have had sixteen
years in which to deal with the monster
and encompass its end. Why havn't
they done it2 They have not only had
the sword and the purse of a great nation,
but both the legislative and executive de-
partments of the government subject TO
their will and control.

the situation corresponds to the awful re-
