He Wanted "A Wirs.

While Kate Cummings sat on her
fathers moving machine, at the farm
up In Winnebago County, Wisconsin,
cutting the late clover for seed, she
won the heart of Rufus Sloan, farm
hand. Rufus had pitchfork aud was
tossing the hay where the sun had
cured it sufficient to demand a turn
ing. He knew all about that, aud
could save clover for feed or seed
equal TO any man in the county, but he
didn't know as much as child about
winning a woman's heart Every time
Kate came around, driving the team
steadily and pushing the sickle little
farther into the standing grain, Rufus
would throw kisses to her and bestow
other little attentions upon her. She
did not like that, and said So Rufus
asked her to stop the horses. as he had
something to tell her. She complied.
aud then he said he wanted a wife and
offered her the proposition. She re-
fused him with scorn, and he jabbed
her with the pitchfork. Kate scream
ed and the horses started. Rufus, in
the hurry of avenging unre9uited love,
got on the wrong side of the mower,
and bounded like a deer when he
heard the rattlety-clip of the sickle
bar right behind him. Kate saw her
advantage and she chased him around
the field, screaming that she would
NOW him down aud cut his legs off
with the machine. She had a fair
field and no favor, and if there had not
been an occasional stump in the way she
would have undoubtedly done as she
threatened. After Rufus had raced
around in front of that moving ma
chine for about half an hour he man
aged to reach fence and escape He
was arrested and tried for assault,
and Kate brought her wounds, left by
the tines of the pitchfork, and had the
