FANNY'S RESOLVE--A NOiCElN TEE NIGHT
As the sharp report of firearms rang
out on the night air, tho settlers who
had been waiting breathcssly in the
Travellers Rest rushed from the build
ing, pistols in hand, and hurried in the
direction from whence the sound of the
shots had proceeded. Scarcely had they
emerged from the house when they saw
several dark forms hastily falling back
across the prairie, and knew that it was
the cattlemen who had fired the shots.
"Give it ter lhe murderers, boys
cried Simon Riggsby. and at the COM
mand the rapid crack of pistols broke
the stiffness OF the night, and score of
bullets sped after the retreating forms
of the cattlemen. The fire was instantly
returned and the whiz of bullets sounded
about the settlers heads.
Then the form of man arose from
the grass i'll front of the settlers, stag
gered a step or two and then went down.
Its Ike Baker, cried Simon Riggsby,
as they hurried forward and gathered
around the PROSTATE man. And SO it
proved
Strong arms bore the wounded man
back to the inn. where he was laid upon
a bed and everything possible done for
him, but all saw that his wounds were
mortal and that be could not last long.

Maddened at the sight of their diving
comrade, who had risked and lost his
life for them. the settlers were about to
pursue the enemy, but they were re-
strained by Riggsby, who saw plainly
that such an action would be just what
the cattlemen would wish

grOGn. Them devils is jist waitin in

The dying man who had been uncon-

revived sufficiently to speak to those

as if already dead.
The men standing about him with
white faces brushed the tears from their
eyes, while Mrs Riggsby and Fanny,
kneeling by the bed, were weeping softly,
each holding a hand Of the dying man.
Presently he opened his eyes and spoke
again, but il was plain that his mind was
wandering.
I'm goin ter the settlement ter bring
the boys" he said, his voice seeming to
grow stronger as be spoke. They amt

He threw up his hand Gs If to use Il

For long time no sound broke the
stiffness save tho low weeping of Mrs.

men stood silently about the bed while

tears that ran down their bearded faces.

Mrs, Riggsby and Fanny wore led
away and the dead was left to those
who were to prepare it for burial.
The sad and tragic ending Of Ike
Bakers heroic attempt to pass the che
ny's lines fell like pail over the little
garrison
Already others had volunteered 10
make similar attempt, but Simon
Riggsby, who ha., been elected leader Of
the settlers, thought it best to adopt
some other method. Already one life
had been sacrificed, and he realized that
any further attempts to leave the inn
might result in similar calamity.
A conference was held by the men
and it was decided ID remain passive
but on the alert till morning, when some
cause of action would be decided upon.
Meantime Fanny Riggsby had de-
scended into the cellar and thrown her
self upon the bed, which she had spread
in the corner The startling and tragic
events of the past few hours had reused
in her breast many stronger and con-
ficting emotions. AT times she would

WHY WoMrN CIT LESS THAN MEN.


lh'y Ar" weather., woman Says.
The rcnsun Why most women workers are |
not paid 50 much IA men workers Is be |
cause they are not worth 50 much, says IA
woman who believes what the says, who
believed 80 ten years ago whose belief has
only dccp"ntd with every working year
that has passed over her head. Women
are not paid 50 much ~ men b"cHusc they
do not really earn so much ~ men. That
is gcucrlIizrd statement y few women
are paid moro hur some men, because they
are doing something that a man can't Dc
SO well as woman. They are pad for the
advantage of sen
Some women get just az much for their
work as a man would get, because the
work has no advant aye or disadvantage Of
sex either way. Most women are paid less
than most men because men have the adj
vantage Of their sex in strength-strcngth
Of body and of muscles, units Of horse
power.
Men and women are paid for work, and
chat work is "A matter of body as well as of
brains. When people begin to talk about
this matter they insist upon treating it as
if ability were purely a matter Of brains,
as if the concession that Woman's work
isn't worth 50 much rs mans in the
money market Is because she hasn't so
much brains us a man. Nonsensel The
very fact that women hold their own
against men rs they do in this competitive
period, with less physical strength, proves
that they have more brains than men, if it
proves anything at all.
Some women, to be sure, are as strong as
men. But the mass Of women are not.
And the law Of political economy, which
has set the wage mark for men and women
deals with the rule and not with the ex-
ception. Take the branches Of work in
which men and women engage, and in the
great majority Of them man can do all a
woman can do and more That is true
even in cases on which at first glance it
seems to have no bearing. Take, for cX-
ample, the question Of teaching. The sue
cess of women as teachers is eminent, and
yet man in that profession is always pvid
more than IA woman for what seems like
the same work. But a reserve power is in
the man that is not in the woman-a some
thing which he may never be called upon
to do, but which he could do if it were
necessary.
She can teach as well as he; sometimes
she teaches better, because she is more
likely to have that tact Of the soul and that
harry inspiration which will rouse the
young mind into glad learning But she
cant enforce her own authority beyond
certain limit, and u man can. He can
thrash an unruly boy into obedience, and
she cant. And although that method of
controlling is not to be extolled, yet it
must be confessed that there is an rreSst-
ible responsiveness about it. His advan-
tage is in his MUSCLES not in his brains.
The same principle applies in other fields
of work, A man clerk may not be able to

coNsEcaATED DOLLARS.

While reading something about
consecrated dollars in Sunday school

consecrated dollars meant. 1 Thought
of men diving into the mire of vice,
into the filthy waters of degradation,
and coming out of the dirty flow
clad in the green scum of sinking
stagnation. l thought of the painful
vigils kept by mothers, and l heard
the continuous stitching of garment
as steady as the tick of a clock, and
/ thought of the niggardly employer
and the contemplate consumer who
created demand for such cheap
save the mark! cheap the dearest
garments on earth! / saw the wld-
ow's tear mingling with her heart
blood, and her life going out on her
compulsory toll. l saw her children
crying for bread, and I saw her hand
one Il dollar that WAS to do the work
of five. ] saw The dollars rolling
from the dance hn,,r, brothel, saloon
and hum u blood-traders' offices into
the Golfers Of the Lord. And /
thought--Oh! what could think,
with such a CHASTITY vision before me
of Sabbath desacration, stolen recre-
alton, tortured humanity, broken
laws, VOWS and promises, all for the
sake of the dollar that accidently
rolls into the Golfers of the Lord,
there to be consecrated-save the
mark! What hideous deception is
this coming upon us? Is the dollar
for which men are numbering their
fellow men to be called "consecrated'
to the Lord. Never! He'll itself will
rise up against such money! Hell
