 At the time of her death she owned a large ranch In Wyoming and vast herds of cattle most Of which she had stolen.
 Her neighbors, the cattlemen, tired of her mur- ders and robberies, having decided that "they had and hanged them side by side upon the nearest tree
 The girl, who had sunk to the lowest depths which woman can reach, died undismayed, CUTS ing, without prayer: Even the men wAo were murdering her were appalled, at her cool indiffer- enoe but the moment before her death she asked that her ranch and cattle should be sold and the proceeds given to build a reformAt0ry for "girls wild like me, when I ran away from home ;s and then begged that her tate should never Dc told to her mother

 "Even Judas" says Bishop Kane, twas not wholly evil. He had grace enough to repent and to pay back the price of his crime"
 The young women who read these words, and who are starving to do their Masters work cannot reach criminals like Kate Maxwell; and, happily, there are few such criminals in any country. But there are tens of thousands of giddy, ignorant girls tottering on the edge of ruin, who may be- cor1e criminals. These may be reached and saved.

 Out in one of the Worcester county hill villages there used to live, and for all the listener knows lives still, locally prominent man and pillar of the church, who was very deaf He was also a very complacent man. One night this mAn-Dea- con Jones we may call him-came into the prayer meeting and sat about gossipping little all on his own account, while he was waiting for the meeting to begin. At last the meeting was opened by one of the brethren, who knelt and began prayer but Deacon \. did not hear a word.
 "Well," said he presently, breaking with loud voice into the others prayer "I guess we're xoin' to have quite good meetin after all, spite O the rain."
 The brother went on with his prayer ae soon as the interruption was ever, but Deacon X. was in- exorable. After waiting . few moments longer he turned half way round and aid
 "Well, brethren and sisters, we might as well be- gin"
 The praying brother saw 1t was no use use and brought his prayer to close with nasty "Amen." ]" Meantime Deacon \. went on
 Brethren and sisters" said he, "I've got some- thin dreadful to tell ye"
 The congregation was on the QHi riCe.
 "Yes" said he, "I want to ask the prayers Of this Ter meetin' for my sister out In York state She is in deep afiiction. Her husband has been assassin ated."
 A thrill of horror went over the litter assembly as they waited for him to speak more definitely. "Yes, brethren" he said presently, "he's hung himself in the barn."
 It was horrible, but the extraordinary nature of the assassination" tiaged the announcement with little of the color of ridiculousness

 "I once had rather exciting passage with the late Ned Buntline," said the major. "He was writ ing . story for . weekly paper on which we were both frequently engaged, when he took . sudden vacation It was . way he had and nobody thought anything about 1t but in this case the publishers were In dilemma, they had but single install chapters already printed and then ct to work and hniah up the story in one or two installments
 "Well, read the part that had appeared. and 1t was . Job. I soon discovered that there was an enormous number of characters in the story-more than could very well handle; for Judson was man who could keep track of a large number of persons all at This multiplicity of characters puzzled me. Finally resolved to get rid of some of them, and I adopted . very original method. I put . number of them on board an excursion steamer and then exploded her boilers, sending them to kingdom come. With the rest worked out plot to climax and wound up the story in fairly good shape.
 "You may imagine Judson's wrath when, on re- turning to the office two weeks later, he learned what had been done. I explained that had acted under orders of course; but he couldn't be pacifed, and was . very bod man, indeed. He cared nothing, he sAid, about the finishing of the story 1t was the brutal way of killing of his char acters that he objected to-the wholesale annihila- tion, which he declared to be inartistic.
