Now, that was just like a woman,
but | didn't dare tell Constance so-un-
disturbed by yowling cats, yet thrown
into a fright over a sound that it took
me Is minutes to hear and 10 minutes
more to locate. l lit the gas and started
on a search for the mouse.
Then it was that Constance forged to
the front as a military dictator. She
could give Shafter miles and then beat
him. Huddled up in the middle Of the
bed she conducted the campaign, leav-
ing me to go to the front and get into
the hot of battle. Spaniards are like
getting money from home in comparison
to catching a mouse.
"Oh, he's eating up that edition de
luxe of the Three Musketeers' that you
gave me when we were engaged"
squealed Constance.
Now as hat edition de luxe she men
toned consists of two volumes that
weigh about three pounds each, and as
there is arsenic in the green binding, 1
didn't worry about it, but l went to the
b~ookshelves, pulled back the curtains,
gave a shove or two On the bottom shelf
and out jumped one of the most fero-
cious mice l ever saw. l jumped to
meet him, and we rolled over on the
floor together, but in the melee he es-
capped. Constance says l was trying to
get away from the little beast. Well, if
l was didn't succeed, for it was all l
could do to keep from screaming when
in its reciprocated excitement it touch
ed me with at least two dozen cold,
scratchy, little feet.
l was starting bach for headquarters
when Constance began to execute a
series OF fantastic gestures. She waved
her arms appealingly and pointed at
the curtain over the door to her writing
room. Then she pointed at the mantel-
piece. l promptly turned out the gas
and secured my pistol.
"Oh, Mr.. Bine! Why can't you I'M
~derstand?' she finally said.
Now l could have said something
cruel there, but I refrained. l was not
reared on a Comanche reservation, and

realized long ago if it had been her

it was filed in the probate office. The
fact that it was made within the past six
months leads some people to think that
Mr.. Saxton anticipated trouble. The
document, however, indicates that deceas.

1t would be noting unusual If he had
simply concluded to reconstruct former
will by substituting this and rsvoking
others. Mr.. Saxton owned some real
estate besides the Saxton block and a
conservate estate of his wealth places it
at or near $75 900. The will reads as
follows:
The last will and testament of George

l do hereby make and publish this my

all former wills. direct the payment of
my debts and expenses of admininstra-

Alliance friend how it happened that he
was stumping the district for Tayler, as
against Major Weybrecht, who made
sacrifices for the hoys in Cuba and who
deserved well at the hands of soldiers
and oil friends Of soldiers. He said that
he had nothing at all to say against
Major Weybrecht, but that he had been
in hard luck since lie came back, had
nothing to do and was approached by the
friends Of Iayler to try and off'et some
Of Major Weybrecht's popularity by
making talk for Tayler. He said he
had been hired by Julius Whiting Of Can.
