child about ginning a woman's heart.
Every time Kate came around, driving the
team steadily and pushing her sickle little
further into the standing grain, Rufus
would throw kisses to her and bestOw other
little attentions upon her. She did not like
that an said so. Rufus asked her to stop the
horses, as he had something TO tell her. She
complied, and then be said he wanted a wife

him with scorn, and he iabbed her with the
pitchfoTk. Katie screamed and the horse,
started. Rufus, in the hurry Of evenging
unrequited love, got on the wrong side of

he heard tue rattlely-clip OF the Sickel bar

field, screaming that she would NOW him

One of the saddest cases was that of Mrs.
Dimm and Thomas Hugenott of Eureka,
Kan Mrs. Dimm had gone there from an
eastern state, leaving husband who had
never been much Of credit to her and
taking her three little child en-. She opened
a boarding house and Hugenott was one of
her boarders. He wss an engineer and drew
good wages. She did not prosper very
rapidly and he extended her financial aid
ouce in while. He wanted 20 marry the
woman, and while she would have had no
objections had she been free, there was the
distant husband; and Kansas laws are
"agin" bigamy. After while Mr.. Dimm
himself turned up, and induced his wife to
receive him, ard even to pack up and start
back east. Hugenott insisted on a
final interview with the woman, and she
granted it He wanted his money, and she
couldn't pay it. He declared it was all a
scheme between her and the Dimm man:
that she was no more married to that man
than she was 10 him, and that both had
put up the job to fleece fellows like Huge
mott. Finally he grew so violent that she
called her husband, and Hugeuott drew a
pistol and fired The woman was hit. and
ran to her children, folding them in her
arms, and screaming for help. Dimm was
a coward, and did not interfere. Hugenott
shot him once, slightly wounding him, then
approached the woman and killed her. She
expired in the arms Of a little daughter,
who had also been hit by the frantic en-
gineer. Hugenott then escaped, but was
found the next morning Just outside of
town, where he had blown out his brains
and thus ended the tragedy.
Louis Ounce OF st. Louis was an in
genious fellow. He loved a factory girl
named Mary Blake. and sent her money
and many a present But he was so diff
dent that he never allowed her to know who
had thus favored her When he met her
about the work he turned away his eyes,
and she didn't even suspect that he bad
ever noticed her. In looking around for
the man who had probably bestowed his
affection upon her, she picked upon Sam
ham, younger, fairer gallant than Ounce.
Finally Ham was surprised to receive
letter from Mary. who inclined to like and
encourage him, always under the impression
that 1t was he who had been send
ing her presents. Louis found this out, and

and he would call on her before the
time for it to explode, thus saving her life
and winning her gratitude. But Mary was
just like all other women. She wanted to
see what it was, and she opened it, OF
course, she opened it wrong, and that saved
her life; for it was only made to go off
when opened in the proper way. But it
was vicious enough to cause the arrest of
Louis, and while he was in the dungeon
under the four courts, Mary and Ham ar
rived at an understanding, got married, and
went together to the trial of their late shop
mate-to the end that he was convicted and
sent to jefferson City for year.
There seems to be no two of them alike.
