gradual di,appoaratc OF her property from day
10 day, aud It made her lose faith 10 the final
redemption of all mankind. She b, cams cjui-
Cal and uisanlhropca', lost her interest 10 the
future, aud became low spirited and unhappy.
Ooe day, however, after things had prcc,cd.
ed sbtut far enough, she weot to her trubk,
and taxing out the large siz, navy revolver, thu
kind that ploWs up the Vltals so successfully
aud sends 80 many Western men to their long
home, she went out to where group of mcn
hsd scattered themselves out around the camp
to smoke.
She wasn't large woman, at all, but these
men respected her. Though they wero only
rough mlucrs there 10 the wilderness they Re-
cU9uized that she was woman, and they re
cognzed it almost at glance, too. There she
was alone among wild group of men 10 the
mountains, far from the protecting arm of the
law and softening Influences OF metropolitan
Ito, and yet the COMMON feeling of gallautry
Implanted 10 the masculine breast was there.
She lodcated with the motion OF her revolver
that she desired to call tho meeting to order.-
There s,emcd to be genera! anxiety on the
part OF every mau present to come to order as
soon as circumstances would permit. Theu she

certain amount Of kopeck5 placed on file with
the chairman of the meeting within specified
time that perditon would be popping on Main
street in about Two aud one half ticks of the
chrouomrter.
rheru didu't seem to b any desire ou the
part of the meetiug to amend the uotion or lay
1t on the table, Although it was arbitrary and
imperative, and although au opportunity was
given tor free expression of opinion, tbore
didu't seem 70 be suy dusirc to take edvau,age
Of it.
A committee Of three was appointed to carry
cut the suggestions of the chair and 10 ablut
half 80 hour the house logs and kopecks hsViog
been placed on deposit at the places designated,
the meeting broke up, jsct 10 the call Of the
chairman.
1t was not very long SESSION, but it was very
hsrnopious-very armooious aud very orderly.
There was % calling for the previous question
or rising to point Of order. Tbe pale faced
nen who composed tho convention did not look
to the casual observer as though they bad c,mc
there to raise points for debate over parliamen
tary practice. They kept :hcir eye 90 the
! SPEAKERS desk and didnt ioterrrupt each other
OF struggle to see who cru'd get the foor.
1t is wonderful this iohereut strength Of
weakness as [ might say which enables woman
amid 'hroug OF reckless men to command
| their respect and Obedience sometimes where
main s'rnngth and swkwardoess would not
| avail.-Denuer Tribune.
