"For mercy's sake wait, she cried. "Look first and see if there is not a sail in sight"
 The men obeyed her request. They scanned the ocean far and near, but no sign of sail was to be seen.
 "How do you know there is not one hidden by that mist?' she in quired, pointing toword small fog bank a league to windward.
 "There is nOne,' one of the men answed. "I feel sure; I looked at that very spot before tue fog set tied there, about fifteen minutes since."
 "No, no, you may be mistaken. I conjure you, 1 implore you to wait until the fog clears up, when you may see a sail"
 The men exchanged glances.
 "It's no use," cried Bruno; "but to satisfy you, we will wait few minutes before we take your hus- bands lie."
 At this Harriet started up. With her hands clasped, and her long hair streaming down her back she stood, her eyes turned toward the sky.
 In this position there came upon her face an expression that had never been seen there before.
 It was almost divine, filling the countenance with an unearthly beauty, lighting the eyes with such a radiant glcam-a look of such strong, concentrated will, blended with heavenly application, that the rough men drew hack with mingled respect and awe, trembling under a sort of supernatHrai infu- ence.
 A moment the young woman stood thus, and then from her part ed lips came her voice, full of strange, weird power, making the blood leap in every vein
 "Oh, Heaven, sail. a sail.
 The words were simple enough, |, but the manner Ill which they were uttered thrillsd her listeners to the hoart.
 Instinctively they all glanced around upon the ocean, as if ex- pecting that the prayer would be answered.
 North, south, east and west they looked but they saw no sign of a vessel
 When about five minutes had passed, however, Bruno was seen pointing towards the strip of fog which, slowly rising like a curtain revealed a sail.
 Yes, there it was, sure enough, and with a cry of wild joy on see, ing if, Harriet, no longer kept from her husband, flung herself upon his breast, while the others gave expression to their feelings by hoarse shouts, sobs and frantic laughter
 Signals were made, the vessel bore down for the boat, and the occupants were soon on the deck to be kindly treated by the captain of the bark.
 The half starved men were agree ably surprised to find aboard this vessel their shipmates of the quar ter-boat, who, it seems, had been picked up four days previously.
 In due time the vessel arrived at her home port, where the sail ors related to their friends how Harriet Rodgers had saved the life of her husband.
 Some of the men insisted that fifteen minutes before she uttered her prayer there had been no yes sel at the point where it was dis covered. Of course they were mistaken, having doubtless looked in some other direction; but this they firmly denied with the com mon superstition of sea farina men, declaring that the sail appear ed just where it did, in answer tt the "Wife's Prayer" l Wise Words About Women,

The Anthony Republican in speaking of
the mail facilities, or rather the lack of them
at Anthony, says that the daily EAGLE is
read at Cheyenne, lis miles south of Cald-
well, in the Indian territory, six hours after
it reaches the hands of its subscribers in
Anthony. We presume that is so. But the
business in the Anthony extension from
Wichita is increasing at n rate which will
boon warrant a morning train raining in
close connection with the mails arriving at
Wichita in the morning.
