Hawk foundry, which was put in, and by

Mondays Denver Republican says
that Mrs. Matilda Kelsey Shannon. a
Colorado pioneer, died at the Homeo.
pathic hospital yesterday afternoon Of
complication of diseases. She had been
patient at that institution for the last
three months. Early in the winter Mrs.
Shannon contracted severe cold while
attending the funeral of sister. Owing
to her advanced age, 81, she was unable
to combat the inroad made on her con-
stitution. She was the widow Of Henry
N. Shannon, formerly dairyman. They
were married in 1861, a year after Mrs.
Shannon reached this state. At that
time Mrs. Shannon taught the public
school at Baldwin, Colo, and enjoyed the
distinction OF being the frs teacher at
Nevadaville. Mrs. Shannon was mem
ber of the Pioneer Ladies' Aid society.
Her funeral probably will be held from
the First Baptist church, but the date
has not yet been fixed. The interment
will be in Riverside cemetery.

that. The Idahos secured lead in the
third inning, and although not playing a
very strong game kept the lead TO the

nine rounds, when Barney-battered and

on Jim's neck that felled him. When
he finally crawled to his feet, defeated,
but defiant, he walked over to the
corner where his antagonist was re-
ceiving congratulations.

he said, II leave the Bend tomorrow,

When Barney came home from his
work on the docks the following even

the yelled threat Maggie wasn't there
to meet him. Instead was a sealed en-
velope addressed to him in crude, cram
ped hand. Inside was a certificate
signed by Alderman Bernstein. 1t said
that the alderman had on that day
married Margaret Muller to James Stat
terry. Accompanying the certificate was
note.

Red foundered a moment in the snow
A first he could see no one. Then, as
the wind made the corner lamp-post
flare little to one side he caught sight
of a young woman holding a baby in her
aims on the doorstep. The ragged shawl
that she had thrown over her head was
well pulled down over her face. In the
monetary flare Red saw her eyes. and
he knew her. Only one girl who lived
in the Bend had ever possessed eyes as
big and blue as those She was Maggie
Muller, Barney's sister, the exiled queen
of the gang, against which Red felt fif-
teen years of accumulated hate.
But something in the whiteness of her
face and the childs, the utter, complete
hopelessness Of it all. nlqlde Red stop in
his walk, and founder over TO the door

He looked down at the two figures
for while before he quite got his
breath. whats de troubley" he said
slowly, as he glanced furtively at the
tenement house across the street.
Everything" said Maggie. When we
were first married things went along
all right for awhile; plenty of good
clothes and good times. Then Jim
plunged at Gutenberg. He lost every
thing he had. He was gone one day
when came home. but he left me a
beautiful letter, he did, stating that he

haps he couldn't. | don't think he

His training in adversely made the
tragedy in all its details flash before his
mind in Il moment.
Pretty tough" he said, as he kicked
his foot in the snow. An awful strug-
gle was raging inside of Red at that
moment.

conscience; land she mustn't go dere,
because, wild Barney's feelings, he

pavement of Ryan street. the Salvation
army paraded through that thorough
fare.
Ryan street was so short and crooked
and insignificant that even the army had
overlooked it until now. For that rea-
son the show possessed for the inhabi-
tants charm of novelty that it would
have had in very few other places.
Red and the gang all turned out in
force to hear de drum.''
de drum and the noise were by far
the two most interesting entries on the
program, but even above their din there
was waited to Red message that ''de
captain read out of mucn-worn Tes-
lament.
But / say unto you, forgive your enc
mics"
The idea of forgiving anybody was
very strange to Red McGann, but the
lively humorous.
Listen to de crank" he said to one
of his followers, who laughed heartily.
But the man said it over again sew
eral times He wound a kind of a ser
mon around the words, and as Red
walked away that night to the Music
hall. where he was to take tickets fol-
the sacred concert" something seemed
to keep ringing in his ears-somethine
that seemed to be accumulated by q
drum and tambourine. but l say

1t was holiday week, and one of the
coolest nights of the year. 1t had been
showing all day, and great drifts were
piled across Ryan street At o'clock
in the morning Red was wading through
them, up to his waist, on his way
'home." Home at that time consisted
of a corner of saloon two blocks away
where Red made the fire in the base
burner every morning, and by way OF
remuneration was allowed sleeping
room.
dis is a fierce night" said Red to
himself as he looked at the deserted
street. ut must be pretty bad when
everybody stays inside on Ryan street. .
No living thing anywhere but
the black sky, the cuttiW swirling snow
and tenement house walls.
As he passed doorstep where the
snow had not drifted quite SO high as
on some of the other houses on the block
he heard some one call his name.

But, striking against this sentiment,
and, as Red thought, slamming it hard
against the ropes, there was another
voice-a voice that was not born of re-
venge or Ryan street. 1t was so differ
ent from any ordinary kink in his philo-
sophy that Red gave it a hearing just
from the very novelty of the thing. 1t
seemed to be coming down with the

from the Bend had the best of it, but as
it was about to win, that other some
thing would pick itself up from the
center of the ring, with marvellous vi
tally, and would deal fierce upper
cut at its antagonist.

THE FIRST BABY.
It's Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by ALI.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most inn
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear Of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend "a scien-
titic liniment-for few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
SO prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering OF the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan
ger, which is in store for them. "Moth-
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
Before Baby is Born" which contains
information of great value to all. 1t

1t was during Reds fifteenth tene-

first appeared in Butterick place. Jim,
who was the sensation of the hour;
Jim, the hero of many prize fights,
whose picture in combative attitude
had adorned the pages of the Gazette.
All Ryan street was sad and depressed
at the thought of what an acquisition
Jim was to its rival.
Jim's acquaintance with Barney had
begun at some ringside. His was a
flasher type than Barney's. There were
broad stripes across his shirt front, and
paste diamonds on his fingers. His
record was in the Gazette. Barney
admired him intensely. 1t was the
hight of his ambition to initiate him.
Jim was installed as a sort of privy
council to Butterick place. He was rec
ognized by all of the gang as the kings
confidential adviser.
But as often happens with royal ia
vorites, there came a time when the
king wearied of a shadow behind his
throne.
"Who is de leader of dis gang, any

when the awakening came.
