at the school, and learning her where
abOubs from q mutual friend he went
after her. Belle by that time had lost
much Of her admiration for the out
law, and repuIsed his first advances,
but he was so persuasive and persist
ent that she finally consented to run
away with him again. Borrowing a
horse from q young man at the school
one day, she mounted it and rode
away to Join Younger and several COM
panions, who were waiting to escort
her out Of Texas. In the party were
Jesse James, Frank James, and Bob
Younger.
Cole Younger purchased farm in
Missouri and tried to lead an upright
life. He loved his girl wife as passion
ately as a man Of his nature could love
anybody, and he was really ambitious
to make a good home for her and sur
round her with such rough 1uxuries as
she desired. But his past record de-
feated his ambition. He had enemies
everywhere, and they were unceasing
in their prosecutions. One day party
Of men killed his brother, a lad about
seventeen years old, while he was re-
turning to his fathers farm from Sc
dalia. Cole Younger, as soon as the
news of the tragedy reached him,
abandoned his farm and set out to
Wreak vengeance on the assassins. He
killed four of them in as many weeks,
and wounded five or six others. He
went to Los Angeles, Cal, where he
remained for some time, and then re-
turned to Texas. From Texas he re-
turned to Missouri, where he joined his
fortunes with those Of the Iaw1ess
James gang, and he participated in all
their daring raids, down to the one on
the NOrthfeld, MINI, Bank, when he
was shot and captured. He is now
serving a life sentence in the Minnesota
penitentiary at Saltwater. His wife
was true to him to the moment the
iron gates Of the prison closed behind
him. She spent a large sum Of money
in his defense, and accompanied him
to Saltwater, heavily armed, in the
vain hope that she might effect his re-
lease, and failing in that she returned
to the border to resume the career
which her husband had tried in vain to
shun. She spent the most of her time
among the Indians, frequently joining
wild tribes that were on the war-path.
She subsequently married Jim Starr,
a son of Tom Starr, a noted Cherokee
Indian, and with her daughter settled
on a farm on the Canadian River, but
she did not get along well with her
neighbors, whom she would not allow
to hunt on her premises. She and Jim
Starr, who was shot down by her side
two years ago, once served term Of
year in the prison at Detroit for horse
stealing.
Bell Starr was known throughout the
Southwest as the Bandit Queen, and

The Human Heart.

That in many cases the heart may
be strengthened by proper hygienic
measures and medical treatment is a
question. In regard to this there is no
doubt. Systematic but moderate exer-
else, which, strengthening the other
muscles of the body, also strengthens
the heart, Is probably the most vaiu-
able OF all the means to be adopted,
and of this, climbing heights should be
a prominent feature. A person unac-
custOmed to this kind of physical exer-
ton should, of course, proceed very
carefully, and under the direction of a
physician, till the body has become
Infatuated to the work. The food
should be Of the most nutritious char
acter, not over stimulating, and espe-
ciaIIy not excessive in quantity.
Tobacco, If used at all, should be
used in moderation, for 1t is very GER
tain that inOrdinate Indulgence in this
direction Weakens the heart. The like
is true Of alcoholic drinks Of all kinds.
The mode of life should be such as to
initiate against the accumulation Of fat
in the body. The heart Of a man weigh
ing $50 pounds, for instance, may be
strong enough for all the purposes of
life; but If he makes his body weigh
2UO pounds the proper proportion IS &c
stroyed and the heart is relatively weak.
1t is just as easy to make the heart
strong as it is to strengthen the mus
cles Of the arms or legs. And If proper
views on this subject can be caused to
prevail, and be carried out in practice,
we shall hear less of weak heart and
heart failure. A person viii then be
able to dispense with an elevator when
he has to ascend to the seventh or eighth
story Of a building, and he can then in
dulge in q fit of anger, if 50 disposed,
without running the risk of dropping
dead at the feet Of his antagonist.-DT.

finally suggested a rope, which, being
procured, was placed around the old
Indians neck and thrown over q rafter
in the building. After tugging and
jerking at the rope for some time
(Which unpleasant duty devOIved upon
me}, the old man at last consented to
disclose the hiding place. Crossing
the room, he moved a table which
overlaid a wolf-skin rug, beneath which
rug was a trap-dOor leading to q deep
cellar. Throwing the door open he
descended, accompanied by one of my
men, and returned in a few minutes
with two oyster cans full of gold pieces.
A second journey developed a rusty
kettle full of gold coin, and third
three large bundles of greenbacks.
"As soon as the old Indian had given
up his treasure he walked back to the
rope and catching the moose in his hand

her extraordinary career OF crime fully
entitled her to wear the title. The fol-
lowing extracts from journal kept by
her viii be read with a greater degree
of interest than usually attaches to re-
citals Of stage-cOach rObberies, muir
ders, and all manner of border crimes,
for they were written by a remarkable
woman and illustrate q phase of life
the existence of which is almost i'm
possible of belief. She was a we'll
educated woman, and only a few days
prior to her violent death perfected the
revision of her journal with a view to
its publication in book form.
One of her most interesting entries
is that giving the particulars Of therob-
berry Of Wat Grayson, a Greek Indian
living near Eufala, L T., of S34, 600,
which high-handed outrage she accom-
plished in the fall Of 1874 with the aid
Of her husband, man named Read,
but whose name she rarely assumed.
She tells this story in the following
language:
Read and myself arrived in Eufala
on the 14th day of November. On
reaching there we met with one Of the
Quantrel gang. named Tom Roberts.
He told US he had struck a bonanza in
the person of Wat GraysOn, who had
concealed upon his premises large
sum of money belonging to many of
the Greek citizens, who had made him
their banker We set out next morn
ing and on our route stopped at the
Younger Bend. This was the first
time that I ever beheld the beautiful
spot / have since fixed upon as my
home. After changing clothes with a
Cherokee youth and assuming as much
as possible the guise of a cowboy, we
started for the GraysOn ranch. / was
chosen as spokesman for the band and
| commenced by knocking on the door.
Soon there came an answer from with
In. A minute later and the old Greek,
| without any suspicion, threw open the
! door, and right then and there Roberts
/ seized him by the waist. He offered
no opposition and we were soon inside
/ the house.
"a white man and negro living on
the premises, hearing the unreasonable
sound Of voices, entered from the rear
The former was armed with a pistol
but before he had stepped two PAGES
Read felled him with a blow from his
44-COlts. Down he went like a beef

with hands above his head and plead
ing for dear life. Mrs. Grayson, thu
proprietor's wife, stampeded all he
lung powers in her efforts to stir NJ
the neighborhood, but / soon silenceC
her by placing the cold muzzie Of my
pistol against her forehead.
The next move was to persuade
Crayson to give up his treasure, which
we found q rather difficult task. Raal

hind in Texas. She prepared to follow
him, but her father sent her a message
to the effect that her mother was dan
gerOusIy i'll, and she returned home
instead. She found that her mother
was as well as she ever was in
her life, and that she had been
duped, and she reiterated her original
intention of following Younger to Mis-
souri,, but her father asserted his pa
rental authority and locked her in a
room, where she was kept a close pris-
oner for nearly two weeks. Then
Belle was given her choice of attend
ing a small school in Parker County OF
q seminary In San Antonio, and she
chose the former. She was practically
a prisoner there, for she was permitted
to have no communication whatever
with the outside world. Cole Younger

gerOus and governing power on the
border that made her a terror to Off
GERS and well-doing people. She was
naturally handsome and graceful, a
daring hOrsewOman, a crack shot with
the revolver and rifle, and as bold and
fearless as q tigress. For a dozen
years her home at YOunger's Bend, near
Eufala, was the rendezvous and hiding
place of the worst desperadOes Of the
West. Jesse James spent six weeks
there once while officers were searching
the country for him.
But Belle did not owe her fame to
mere association with thieves. She
herself planned and led daring raids,
and it was supposed that she knew
more about the cruel murders that
were of such frequent occurrence near
her home than anybody else.
Belle always dressed plainly, but
wherever she went her dashing appear
ance in the saddle attracted so much
attention that she was q marked woman.
A brOad-brimmed white hat, such as
IL commonly worn by cowboys, sur
mounted by a wide, black plush band,
with feathers and ornaments, gave her
an appearance Of saucy independence,
which was heightened by the bristling

der. She was of medium height, with
a good form, and bright, intelligent
black eyes.
She dishked newspaper notoriety,
and but few reporters were ever sue
cessful in learning the history of her
eventful career from her own lips She
claimed that newspapers had done her
a gross Injustice once
Belle was born in Carthage, Mo,
thirty-fOur years ago. In 1868 her
father, who was a Confederate, moved
with his family to Texas, where they
continued to live after the close of the
war After the surrender Quantrell's

Bellies home, and they were always
welcome guests at her fathers home
as he loved to listen to their stories of
murder and pillage. She fell in love
with Cole Younger, who was one of the
most daring of all the guerilas, and
though her father objected to the court
ship, she ran away with her lover and
was married to him on horseback. John
Fisher, a famous Texas stage rObber,
held her horse while the ceremony was
being performed.
Less than six weeks after the mar
riage Younger became involved in a
gun fight, which ended in four men
losing their lives, and he had to run
away to Missouri, leaving his wife be

Beneath the frost and snow.

To bid our hearts remember
There's nothing sure but Heaven.

And drOss is in the treasure
We counted pursst gold.
When in His strange, deep wisdom
God takes what He has given,
The mute lips seem to tell as
There's nothing sure but Heaven.

WORSE THAN MARRIAGE.
A bachelor old and chanky
Was sitting alone in his room;
His toes with the govt were aching,
And his face was O'erspread with gloom.
No little ones shouts disturbed him,
From noises the house was free;
In fact, from the attic TO cellar
Twas quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking;
The servants answered his ring,
Respectfully heard his orders,
And supplied him with everything.
But still there was something wanting,
Something he couldn't command;
The kindly words of compassion,
The touch Of q gentle hand.
And he said, as his brow grew darker
And he rang for the hireling nurse;
@Well, marriage may be a failure
But this is a blamed sight worse"
