her insane husbands death Mrs. Sherwood

There might have been some doubt as to
the feeling entertained for her first hus-
band. There was none as to this. The
handsome ex-soldier was just the man to
win n woman's heart and to retain her af
fectinn
For six months Edith was the happiest

All who knew her believed that this state
of affairs would continue indefinitely; they
certainly hoped so, but alas for the vanity
Of human wishesl
One day Colonel Phelps returned home
and as he kissed his wife he noticed that
she trembled and looked pale. In response
to his inquiry as to the cause she handed
him letter.
1t was from the man believed to be dead
1t told of his escape from the asylum and
his restoration to health, and that he would
start within a month to join his wife in
Australia.
You were not a widow after ALL" said
the colonel as he kissed her appraised face,
but we believed you were. SO you still
love me?"
For reply she frightened the clasp of her
arms about his neck.
"Then," he said with set lips, 1.-The world

In Their Own Trap.

Power was well known Australian rob-
Der, or bush ranger" as such outlaws are
called at the antipodes He had made
himself the terror of all the settlements,
and so defiant did he become that the gov
eminent offered thousand pounds for his
capture or proof of his death.
Stimu' ated by this hope of reward, three
young men, clerks in a Sydney bank,
planned to spend their vacations in captur-
ing the outlaw, with view to the reward.
Before starting off they provided them
selves with three good saddle horses and
as many rifles and pistols as they could
handle.
In addition to these preparations the
clerks had also with them an accurate de-
scription of Power, so that they were en-
tirely sure that they would recognize him
on sight
They were looking for heavily bearded
roughly attired man, who rode roam horse
They therefore had no suspicion when on
entering the forest near the Blue noun
tains they were joined by IA good looking,
smoothly shaved man, who rode thor
oughbred bay.
The stranger made himself so agreeable
as to gain the confidence of the young men,
who told him of their purpose and of their
certainty of capturing Power and taking
him back to Sydney tied to his horse Ike a
pack of wool.
That night after they had encamped and
eaten supper the affable stranger suddenly
assumed new role. With II revolver in
each hand he faced the dazed young men
and said: Gentlemen, am Power. Now,
obey me or ! will shoot fast and sure"
What must we do?" asked one Of the
young men.
First throw your rifles and pistols into
the fire"
This order was speedily complied with.
Now, throw every stitch of clothes you
have with you after your arms"
Soon the clothes were burning, and the
three trembling wretches stood before the
implacable man with the pistols.
When this was done he tied them, one
at time, on their own horses, and then
taking off the brides, he sent them
Mazeppalike, back to Sydney. On the
pommel of one of the saddles was found
pinned a bit Of paper with these words
"Power sends with these things his com
pliments 20 the governor and suggests
more reward and better men"

Strange and Sad Experience Of an Austria

poars-A Romance of the Antipodes.

toni
II story writers knew more about real
life, as l have always maintained, there
would be no need for their taxing their i'm
aginations to supply interesting and even
exciting material.
The case of Mrs. Edith Sherwood is in
point. Mrs. Sherwood, if still living, and
! sincerely hope she is, cannot be at this
time more than five and twenty years of
age When first saw her few years ago
she was as sweet and pretty p little bru-
nette as one could find in n months travel
between the two oceans that wash our
eastern and western shores, and withal she
was quick witted and accom- plished and
she had gentle, girlish, half helpless way
about her that made her very attractive to
men who-and / speak for myself-are
never attracted by your self reliant amazon.
This is Mrs. SherwOod's story as learned
from her own lips and the lips of her
friends:
She was born and brought up In the city
of Melbourne. Her father was a surveyor,
who tried to bring up the children as his
wife would have done, for he had been a
widower ever since Edith was n baby.
When Edith was nineteen years of age,
through failing health her father became
unable to support her and an invalid broth
sr, so like brave girl she started in to help
hem.
She studied stenography and found po-
tit n A mo nn1
who was an importer of jewelers. supplies.
Mr. Sherwood was bachelor of forty, a
fine looking man. who from the first took
deep interest in his sweet faced little
clerk. Such gallant attention could not
escape the girls notice. At first she was
inclined to resent his interest, but she soon
saw that he was a noble man, and gradually
she began to reciprocate the feeling which
he had manifested from the first.
One d.y Mr.. Sherwood called upon Edith
at her fathers house, and he said to her in
her fathers presence:
Il like you too much, Miss Edith, to have
you continue in my employ"
The girl looked up in surprise and STAN
mered:
Il DO not understand you, Mr. Sher-
wood"
''Then must be palmer. | want you to
cease being my employee by becoming my
wife"
There was no installing this. Edith
looked from her helpless father to the man
who had made this offer and then extended
hand to each.
If she did not love Mr.. Sherwood before
they were married, it is certain that she
learned to do so soon afterward, for in the
blow that soon came to the husband she
showed herself to be in every way the de
voted wife
Three months after his marriage Mr.
Sherwood became nervous and eXcitable
and attributing this to overw0rk his wife
suggested tLat they should take trip tC
California, where a brother, the only re
naming member of his family, was living
Mr.. Sherwood fell in with this, and sell
ing out his business at loss he tool
steamer, with his wife, for San Francisco.

Caught the Lawyer.

While in Australia recently the follow
ing was told me and vouched for by
brother journalist who claimed to have
been present at the trial when he beard it:
The world enjoys having lawyer taken
down. particularly that class of lawyer who
delights in b;illying witnesses, and who is
in the habit of speaking to men in court in
a way that would result in his being sound
ly thrashed if he tried it outside.
Recently a lawyer of this type was cross
questioning an itinerant peddler of quack
medicines in Sydney, and he began by say
ing:
II believe, sir, you call yourself a doc
tori"
Yes, a kind of doctor" said the wit
ness.
ooh, only kind of one, ehP"
"Nes, sir; that's all"
(Which do you treat-human beings or
cattle?"
II prefer humans. sir. but l wouldn't
mind trying my hand on such as you if you
was laid up"
The lawyer was too stupid to guess why
the judge and jury laughed at this, SO be
continued:
DO you make your own medicines?"
sometimes"
But not always?"
mo- sir"
what kinds do you make"
Sometimes pills.
and sometimes powders, eh?"
"Yes, sir"
'Do you make anything else?"
"Oh, yes"
"Whatg"
"'IDtments."
( you mean ointments?"
"Mebbe do"
"What do you do with the ointments"
"Sell EN-"
"What forl"
"To be rubbed into the head"
"What is the purpose in rubbing the oint-
ment into the head:'
"Oh, to lie the brain and make folks
think clearer"
And the medicine does that"
"She do"
Now, if | were to rub lot of this oint
ment into my head, what effect would il
have."
None"
"Why noti" asked the lawyer.
Because" replied the witness, my med
icine does not give man brains. 1t mus

JEwELRY INTO THE SEA.
On the way over the nervousness in
creased into acute insanity. The man flung
all his money and his wife's jewelry into
the sea, and he would have thrown her and
himself after them had he not been re-
strained and subsequently placed under
strong guard
When Mrs. Sherwood reached San Fran
cisco with her demented husband she at
once sent for the brother. A consultation
among the best doctors in the state was
had and it was decided that Mr. s.ler-
woods mind was forever gone and that the
only course to pursue was to confine him in
an insane asylum.
They told the young wife that her hus-
band could not live long but when he was
In the asylum, and she had neither the
means nor the work to keep her in Califor-
mia, she decided TO make her way back to
Australia.
Poor girl! The married life that prom
ised so much happiness turned out a curse,
and along her life path she now saw only
the shadows of heavy clouds, without one
ray of hope.
On the way back she made no effort to
which gave her the earnest sympathy of all
! her fellow passengers.
Among these passengers was Colonel
! Phelps, an ex-officer of the United States
army, and gentleman of fortune and edI-
cation He was fine looking man of thir-
ty-fve, and was going to Australia to study
the sheep industry, for which those colonies
are famed
On the way over Colonel Phelps became
much interested in the pretty, sad faced
"brevet widow" AS he called Mrs. Sher-
wood. In gallant way, but without
ostentaticn, he did everything in his power
to add to the little womans comfort. Such
attention was fully appreciated, though
from first to last she never said or did
nught that did not become her position.
Arriving in Australia the coloneps in
terest continued. and through his effort:
Mrs Sherwood's father and brother, who
had meanwhile b~en restored to health, re
ceived remureratiye employment.
A year went by, and one day Mrs. Sher
wood received letter from her husband 4
brother in California. 1t said in effect:
"A month ago George escaped from thu
asylum, and Il search throughout the stat
failed to discover his body. Yesterday IT,
corpse, much decomposed, was found on TIN
river bank and buried. Poor fellow, per
haps it is better for you and for himself tina
he is no more"
Now Mrs. Sherwood was a widow In fact
and when this became known to Colone
Phelps his attentions became more ardent
and he did not leave the young widow lonl
in doubt as to his purpose.
