prietress of milk route. employing several teams
and number of assistants Yet. though she has
ainassed competence. she still serves with her own
hands u few favored customers. holding the
reins behind her favorite pony with no little
skill. The lady q widow with hve
children up to October last. when during
her rounds she first met Mr.. McEvoy and
with true feminine instinct. it is said. managed to
draw from him an avowal of love. On November 4.
1878. they married. and everything at the time
pointed to long and happy union. But daily inter-
course seemed to chill the affections of the newly
welded pair. and total alienation was the final re-
suit One month after marriage articles OF separation
were signed. But although blessed with fortune and
good health. Mr.. McEvoy. who is well-to-do
cattle drover could not easily forget his hrst love-
ana separation from the iooi Oh ms aiectious s.u

cans of milk. stopping the docile beast the lover
leapod into the wagon, and on Blended knee poured
into the astonshed occupants ear tine story Of his
revived affection. Mrs. McEvoy, however, refused
to listen and insisted upon driving on. Then.
the story goes, Mr. McEvoy drew, or

ened the woman with instant death. Matters were
beginning to serious aspect when tho
pony, who had become FESTIVE, sprang forward
