One day in the year just mentioned
Ray and another young man were
shooting at a mark near the fort when
the second man was suddenly shot
down by the Indians. Ray looked in
the direction whence the shot had
come, and seeing the enemy was on
the point of raising his rife, when he
was set upon by another gang, who had
crept near him unseen.
He took to his heels, and, being a
quick runner. reached the fort amid a
shower of bullets But the gates were
shut, and the men inside were so fright

Finding himself shut out, Ray threw
himself fiat on the ground in the rear
of stump, and here, perhaps seven
steps from the fort and within sight of
his mother, he lay for four hours,
while the bullets of the Indians tore up
the ground on either side of him
AT last he grew impatient and called

IN THE HOME.
The Girl Who Is Acquainted With Business
Ways a. Wtfe

Ways as Wife.
The best and happiest wife in this
and the next generation is and will be
the self-supporting woman. 1t Is so
evident that argument and proofs seem
supsrAuous From severly practical
standpoint woman who has made
her own living knows the value of
money, has had experience in making
it go as far as possible, has sown all
ths wild oats of small extravagances
and subsequent scrimping that makes
trouble in many new homes. dollar
to her represents so many hours work,
not a few coaxing words addressed to
papa. She knows what kind of home
it is pleasant to come TO after tiring
days work, and what sort of break
fast is the best foundation for eight
hours toll.
She had been used for so long to
look after herself that it IS almost
heaven TO have someone ask if she had
her rubbers on this morning, and the
trifiing attention will be repaid by a
devotion to socks and buttons which
the masculine mind will enjoy while it
may not entirely understand.
No matter how plucky and successful
she has been, the self-supporting wom-
an has been for years very tired,
mentally and physically, with the
weight of responsibility she has
carried. If one week has been
brought to close successfully, in com
paratiye comfort, and with no debt in
Cured, she can only draw a very short
breath before the next one commences
1t may be very selfish, but isn't it de-
licious to feel that someone else, whose
shoulders are stronger, has taken this
wearing burden from you, and carries
it easily, too? What can be more de-
lightful after years of rushing down
town Immediately after breakfast or
shutting ones self up in study or Of
flee early in the morning, than TO draw
a comforta ble, happy breath at the
table. and then set about domestic du-
ties? The sheltered feeling IS indie
scribable and one that can not be APP
preciated by any woman who has not
fought her own battles.
Men as a general thing are good
natured and pleasant enough to women
whom they meet in business way;
but however kind they may be, the
woman can never feel that she is at
her best outside of her home. Do you
think a self-reliant. plucky bread-win-
ner, who is after all the more a woman
for all her brave march abreast with
men, is going 10 toss her head and give
utterance to the hackneyed statement
about not giving M her liberty for the
best man living. and is there anything
particularly desirable in the liberty
which consists in working day after
day for food and clothes and place to
sleep, barely gained by wages which
will be lost the moment someone else
is willing to do the same work for less
money? This applies to every wage
earning woman, from the girl who
spends her weary days behind a counter
to the successful brain worker, who is
more envied because less understood
than any of the women who eat their
own bread
