sengers he found pack of playing
cards. He threw them with the rest
of his booty into his hat. When he had
finished searching the passengers he
said:
You can put your hands down now,
gentlemen. 1t must be kinder awkward
standin' in that position. I'm sorry to
put you to so much trouble, but, you
see, had to have money, and thought
that this would be a pretty good crowd
to strike. Pm kinder ashamed of my
self to put SO pretty woman as this
lady is to so much trouble"
The highwayman smiled apologetic-
ally on the young school-teacher, who
astonished her fellow-passengers by
smiling back at the robber, and saying:
Don't worry yourself, Bart. 1t was
no Inconvenience at ALL"
"You know me?" said Bart, inquir.
ingly.
I've heard you described so often
that feel pretty we'll acquainted with
you," replied the school-teacher.
The highwayman appeared to feel
1attered. II admire your spunk," he
said. Most women faint when they
see me-"
81 never saw man yet that I'd faint
for" replied the woman, to the horror
of her fellow passengers, who were
afraid she would anger Bart and drive
him to some desperate end. A second
or two later they were stricken dumb
with amazement when she said:
Bart, I'll bet you that I can beat
you one deal at stud poker. If I don't
you may kiss me. If do, you must let
this coach and its passengers go on
with their property without further
trouble. Will you do it2"
The proposition staggered Bart for
an instant, but he recovered himself,
and, laughing heartily, said:
"Waal, miss, you beat any woman l
ever came across before. never kiss
a woman unless she's willin', but if you
want to take them chances I'll play
you, but I reckon you've givin' me the
best of the bargain"
The woman intimated that she was
really anxious to play for those stakes,
and preparations were made for the
game. 1t was agreed that the driver
should deal the cards, and Bart insist
ed that the half dozen passengers
should stand up in row twenty PAGES
away, so that he might detect any at
tempt at treachery. The teacher seat
ed herself on mail-pouch that Bart
had dragged out for that purpose, and
with his rifle resting across his lap he
settled himself on one knee short dis
tance from her.
Opposite them and between the play
ers and the line ofpassengers the driver
sat down on the ground. Word was

given to start the game, and the driver
threw the first card to Bart, face
down. The next card fell at the feet
Of the school-teacher. Each player was
now entitled to four cards, to be dealt
face up, and Bart caught the ace of
clubs. while to the teacher fell the sew
en- spot of diamonds. The highwayman
next caught the five-spot of hearts, and
his face flushed and he smiled con-
fdently for the first card dealt to him
was q five-spot, and he now held pair.
The teacher drew the deuce of dia-
monds. Bart showed his elation when
the next card that fell before him
proved to be the five-spot of clubs. He
now had three fives, and he was sure
the game was his To the teacher fell
the four-spot of spades. Her luck was,
indeed, wretched, but she didn't seem
to be the least disconcerted as she
looked over at Bart's pair of tives and
then down at her seven-spot high. The
last turn came, and the queen of clubs
fell in front of Bart and the seven-spot
of spades was the teachers draw. She
had pair of seven-spots in sight.
Bart smiled. "Your luck came late"
he said. "I'm afraid you'll lose the
kiss, for here is another FIVE" He
turned up the first card and it gave him
three fives.
"You did we'll, SIR" said the teacher,
"but I've got another seven spot here,
and believe three of these are better
than your fives." She turned up the
roll" card and sure enough it was
seven spot.
Bart was set back for an instant, but
when he realized that he had been fair
ly beaten he smiled and, helping the
teacher to her'feet, said: 'Gentlemen,
I've lost mighty big stake. Come up
here, one at a time, and get what be-
longs to you out of that hat"
The passengers joyfully obeyed the
order. Bart retained their firearms.
In few moments the passengers were
In the coach and were going up the
trail witha dash.
When the story of the school-teach-
ers pluck was told at Nevada City the
citizens presented her with handsome
gold watch, and the express company
gave her check for one thousand dol
lars. The brave woman still lives In
prosperous Nevada town, where she be-
came the wife of prominent lawyer

Quality Not Quantity.

DIR, Bischoff, the celebrated professor
of the University of st. Petersburg, pub
lished pamphlet in 1882 against the
study and practice of medicine by wom-
en-. In this pamphlet he declared that
women were physically unfit for heavy
studies. After careful investigation he
discovered that woman's brain was
inferior to that of a man, and that it
was incapable of any great develop
ment. He based this opinion upon the
average weight of the brain of a wom-
an, which was considerably less than
that of the ordinary man. In his will
he provided for the weighing of his
own brain, and put it's expected weight
at a pretty high figure. He died re-
Gently and it was found that his brain
weighed considerably less than that of
the ordinary intelligent woman. The
ladies are delighted, and the women
have fallen back upon the theory that
it is the quality of the brain that
counts, and that the weight does not
amount to much. Some of them go so
far as to assert that if mans brain
were composed of as good material as
is put into SPIDERS brain it would
make him a mighty smart fellow.

with white aprons and caps, like maids,
took turns in entertaining their young
friends.
'It's surprising" said one cousin to
Grille, that we can make no impress
sion on these poor things, no matter
how we try. They wear the same
tawdry imitation lace and paste jewel
ry, they have trailing dresses in the
street, and their hats are covered with
cheap flowers. Our example does not
count"
Grille only laughed Then she said,
with her soft Southern drawl: 'They
don't care for your caps and your
aprons. It's all sham, don't you seeP
1t doesn't impress them because it isn't
sincere"
1t happened one evening that the
programme for entertainment was in
complete. Grille was asked to take u
part, to play a piano solo, or give a
recitation. 1t ended in her doing both.
She went in her pretty white wool
gown, with pale lilac bows here and
there, her dress so rich, so maidenly,
so becoming, that she was bewitching
in it. The girls clapped their hands
and applauded her with enthusiasm
They crowded around her, and begged
her to come and teach one of their
classes on Sunday.
Grille was persuaded. She said she
knew so little herself that she would
have to study very hard When Sun
day came she dressed in her pretty,
dainty tailor-made gown, her simple
sailor hat, her gray gloves. From head
to feet she was like an exquisite flower
but not a puff nor frill nor ruffie was
superfluous, nor could one have been
spared.
The girls listened to her and looked
at her. In six months you would not
have known them for the same set;
their taste was quieter, their gowns
We're simpler, more refined, less preten-
tious; their hats lost the load of flowers
and feathers Grille was initiated in
her speech, her manners, her exterior:
she had set good example.

he did the most unusual things. 1t
happened in the spring of 1872. Bart
had been doing smashing business In
more sense than one In the northern
part of the state, and he had become
such terror that a double guard was
sent out with every coach that went
from Sacramento to Nevada City. Once
he attempted to hold coach up against
such odds that he failed, and only
escaped after a long chase through the
mountains, during which he was
wounded severely, and the guards were
confident that, mortally hit by their
bullets, he had managed to crawl into
some one of his retreats and died. For
several weeks nothing was heard from
Bart, and, believing him dead, the ex-
press companies relaxed their vigilance,
and the mails and strong boxes were
sent out once more with but one man
beside the driver to guard them.
Northeast of Sacramento, about
twenty-five miles, in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, is deep canon, at the head of
which is beautiful fall of water known
as ''Thc Maiden's Tears" The Nevada
City trail wound through the canon.
Near the falls the trail lay across fiat,
open space, with the stream on one
side and piles of huge powders on the
other.
A few weeks after the wounding of
Black Bart n coach was crossing this
open space. The guard, on the seat by
the side of the driver, was dozing In the
heat of the sun, and the driver was
struggling to keep his eyes open In
= side the coach were seven passengers,

DEAR HEART, WHAT THEN7

Youth still fingers, with its pleasures,
Blessings now are manifold
Life is sung in gladstone measures,
Hoping yet for fame or gold.
Working on, believing, praying,
We may win, like other men,
Should success come past portraying,
Let US ask, dear heart what thenY
Later years will bring us sorrow,
Stealing both our youth and Joy,
Though we cheat ourselves, and borrow
Pleasures semblance, half alloy.
One by one the days will leave US,
Never TO return again,
Holding much TO please and grieve US,
Sadly must we ask: "What thenf"
All, stern middle age advancing,
Slow, but sure, to you and I,
Robs of all so gay, entranctng,
Further on, deep shadows lie.
Forward will we press, not knowing
What awaits US, whore, or when,
Older, sadder, wiser growing
And we well may ask: what them"
At the last, grim age and wrinkles,
Pain and woe-but perfect peace,
For the star of Hope still wrinkles,
Toll and misery soon will cease.
Loved ones will have gone before US,
just beyond our straining ken;
Death will raise his banner DER US
All, dear heart, what then what thenf
This life ended, the beginning
OF New Life, strange and sweet,
Without wrong or earthly SHINING,
Trembling hands or weary feet
Heaven, for oil so long beseeching,
Bliss beyond Descriptions pen
Blest Eternity outreaohing-
No moro need to ask: what them"

WHAT ONE GIRL DID,
And What Many More May Do If II
Only VIII.


Only VIII.
The girl was just twenty. She had
been at school for the last ten years,
had studied everything she wanted to,
and several things she did not care for,
had come with trunkful of pretty
gowns and half dozen dainty hats
and wells to spend the summer in a
suburban town far from her home,
which was in the south.
1t had always been enough for this
girl to be alive and to be happy. Her
sweet looks and her sweet ways had
been SO pleasing to . her father and
mother, her brothers and cousins, that
she had never felt the need of trying
to do them any good, says Harper's
Bazaar When at school the same sweet
ways and sweet looks had made her
popular, and it did not occur to her
that she was to exert an influence on
her companions.
1t probably never does occur to a
rose or pansy that it has any duty in
the matter of being fragrant and at
tractive. 1t simply lives its life,
In the summer home however, Grille,
rs her father liked to call her, found
that everybody was on the qui vive to
help everybody else. Her aunt and her
girl cousins all had their work among
the poor, or they read to sick people,
or taught in Sunday-school Two
cousins were very much interested in u

gathered from factory in the hottest
