She Gave Up His Money.

A woman's quick wit makes her,
when she has the courage to act upon
it, valuable aid IN az emergency.
Some years ago, in the days when "road
agents" abounded in Montana, a wom-
en- was travelling by coach to join her
husband. One day fellow passenger
said to her:
L have 81 900 in my pocketbook, and
feel uneasy about the road agents.
Would you mind concealing it in your
dress, and returning it to me at the end
of your journey? III the highwaymen
do stop us they are less liable to search
you than me.
She aeeeeded to his request, hid the
money in her dress, and the stage drove
on without meeting road agent
until toward evening. Then the shout,
Throw up your hands y was heard.
The driver promptly pulled up as four
men on horseback. with masked faces.
appeared in the road and covered him
with their pistols.
Two of the highwsymen then rode
each side OF the coach and ordered the
passengers to give up their arms, which
they did promptly.
''Now shell out ! - said the robbsrs.
The passengers handed out their pocket
books even the man who called in the
woman's aid gave up a few dollars.
He was congrstulating himself upon
his caution, when he heard the woman
say in quiet way:
II have got $1,000, but L suppose 1
must give it up"
Suiting the action to the word. she
handed over the mans roll of green
backs.
The robbers rode away, and then the
man gave expression to his feeling by
abusing the lady and accusing her Of be-
traying his trust from sheer fright.
She smiled mysteriously.
"You will see. sit; but l can't ex-
plain now.
At the end OF the journey she asked
him to stay all night at her house. and
said that her husband would be glad 10
see him.
"Yes ma'am, I will come to your
house." he answered il the tone of All
injured man Its the least you can do,
ma'am, seeing that kou have left me
without cent in the world.
At the lady's house he was treated
as a distinguished guest but neither
host nor hostess offered him one word
of explanation that night, and he went
to bed sad irritated man.
The next morning as he entered the
dining rooms, the host shook hands
with him and said
'Here is your 81 900. sir, which my
wife ventured to borrow in a imergen-
cy. She had $50, 700 which she was
bringing to me concealed in her drsss
She thought by giving up at once the
$1,000 Intrusted to her by you she would
save herself from being searched by the
robbers.
''Her quick wit saved me from a
heavy less, ard / am much obliged to
you for the forced loan.
