who said. II have been sent from the Insti-

ing around the pipes for a while, he stopped
and said, "Will you give me a cup OF coffee ?"
Mrs. Wiley replied, II cannot, as my fire is
nearly out, you see !" Your husband is OF
and l know you are here alone. now, will
you give me some cofTee?' Again she said
"No :" Thinking she heard her little one cry
ing, she started upstairs, the man following
to see if she meant to go out the front door.
Upon reaching her bed room, she secured a
pistol and returned, pointing it at the rascal.
She said, Now tell you to get out OF here.'
"Oh am not afraid Of woman with pis-
tol !" bat all the time he was looking to see
if the barrels were filled. Still holding the
pistol firmly and with an accurate aim, she
told him to leave. Finding he could not in
timidate her, and seeing that each barrel held
Il cartridge, he beat r hasty retreat. Unfor.
tunately she did not know the william, but Re

never before happened here. II it were q
