What " Wife Means.

Says Ruskin: " What do YOU think
the beautiful word wife comes from ?''
1t is the great word in which the Eng
llsh and Latin languages conquered the
French and Greek. hope the French
will some day get word for it instead
of that of femme. But what do YOU
think it comes from? The great value
Of the Saxon words is that they mean
something. Wife means weaver"
You must either be housewives or
house-moths, remember that. In the
deep sense, you must either weave
mems fortunes and embroider them, or
feed upon and bring them to decay.
Wherever true wife comes, home is
always around her. The stars may be
over her head, the glow-worm IN the
nights cold grass may be the fire at her
feet. but home is where she is, and for |
noble woman it stretches far around her
better than houses ceiled with cedar
Or painted with vermillion. shedding its
luiet light for those who else are home.
ess. This, l believe, is the woman's
rue place and power"

pistol shots rang out. Three of Howard s
men threw up their hands and fell from
their horses, while only Que of Kclly's men
fell. Kc!Iy's men, not needing their com-
rade's death, sped straight towards the
three mcu in front of them. The latter
dropped ttcir pistols in their bride hnnds
aud pulled their horses up, while their five
enemies came riding swiftly on, pouring
a HAIL OF BULLETS
in from pistol in every hand. The
Howard men saw the odds. They were too
great, aud turning swiftly, they ran, turn
ing in their saddles us the few and
brave!y returning the fire. In three brief
minutes the duel was fought and won, and
four dead men lay upon the ground. Frank
rode up to Howard and said: "Now you

"No," replied Howard, as he looked sadly
at the dead mon, "I am satisfied
avery well" said Kelly and orders wcrc
given to exchange the cattle.
Very strangely no news of the fight was
received until yesterday, but this, perhaps,
was duo to the fact that no towns were
passed by tho Kelly outfit. Only Frank
himself has arrived, his herd not being due
for two weeks yet. Kelly himself is SUM-
burnt, wanly-looking young fellow, and
told the story in matter-of- fact way which
would hardly attract attcntipn.
