A number Of years later Matte stood
in the old fashioned garden. Two
young girls were chasing each other
round the flower beds. Mattic's eyes
were unusually dreamy. Coming up
behind her, unobserved, l said:

81 dare say. The dear old ladies'! l
miss them metimes even now. You
see, since the babies grew up there are

remarked cheerfully.

her own account, and he would have g
percentage Of her winnings. She made
the stipulations that he was not to
speak Of the transaction to any one,
and that he would row the boat to the
water gate Of her garden when she
wanted it.
The plan worked well, and Matte
spent many long hour on the cold,
dark waters after her old ladies were
safely disposed Of for the night.
Meanwhile it had dnwned upon the
heavy but calculating brain Of Peter
Small, Matties cousin, that the girl
would make desirable wife; she was
so active and so we'll gathered, IL re-
port spoke truly.
Peter was not al i'll favored fellow,
and Matte, being one Of those who are
keenly sensitive to kindness, felt most
kindly disposed toward him. She was
so free from self interest herself that
it was the last thing she suspected in
others.
Before long Peter spoke Of marriage.
The girl received his proposal en-
ccuragingly, but told him she was not
free to marry so long as the old ladies
lived. The young mans amazement
was followed by something like con-
tempt. Still, he did not believe that
this was anything more than whim.
AS the weeks passed, however, and
his persuasions were Of no avail to
move Matte from her resolve, he be-
came very angry in secret. He did not
quarrel with her outright. because Of
his exaggerated notion Of her monetary
value.
He cudgeled his brain for some way

trified the next day by the astounding
news that the two enemies were going
to take up their abode under the same
roof. Nither of them, however, paid
much heed to the busy tongues around
them, for they had a source of interest
in their mutual charge that took up all
their a1ten ton. One thing only trou-
bled them, and THAT WAS that as Rich

SO when the train drew up at Ripley

astonishment their little ORsebud wait

''Flather!" they both cried AIT once,

Blackburn felt as if he were still

side of the man he had thought never
to approach aigain.
The aIttack was "a severe one but it

heard frequent accounts of her from the
neighbors, whose curiosity was greatly
excited ON the subject Nh baby had
taken "a STRONG dislike to Meltons Old

everything for her himself; had her to
sleep in cot in his room, and even
wheeled her out in the grand new car

Blackburn smiled bitterly when

the neighbours smiled knowingly at one

out flOm under the big white hat, AMI

Wild thoughts of rushing upon him

restrain them, and walked on With a
look of gloomy rage upon his face.

Blackburn's discontinue added new
zest to his appreciation.

WAR ON TEXAS WOLVES.
A Professional Killer Employed by
the Cattle Raisers.

the Cattle Raisers.
The wolves were not as plentiful as We
had expected b find them. The reason
for their scarcity is that the ranchmen
have adopted successful method of dis
posing of them. Some five or six Of the
big ranches have raised salary which
they pay man whose business Is no other
than to kill wolves and panthers. That
man is MIR. Martin, whose address is
Guthrie. He is better known as "Wolf"
Martin. Mr., Martin is trappor In the
true sense of the word. He has two head
quarter camps, eight fine saddle horses
which ho keeps we'll ridden, large pack
Of wolf hounds and 300 largo wolf traps.
The traps he puts out at certain points
along the road and trails and each morn
ing he makes tho circuit with his dogs.
The traps are left loose, aud when he finds
ono gone the dogs are placed on the trail
and usually in short distance come upon
the trapped wolf which they dispose of in
short order The dogs live on the wolves
killed, eating the meat raw.
During his long experience as trappor
Mr.. Martin has learned many curious
things about tho habits of the animals in
his section. Tho wolves, he says are al
ways to be found along the roads at night,
rather than off in the brakes, SO he always
places his traps along che roadside. He
uses 10 bait on his traps, but has substi-
tute for bait in IL kind of fluid of his own
discovery and manufacture. With the fluid
hesaturates paper OF cloth and buries it
in tho ground hear his trap. He always
carries bottle of this fluid with him and
