aroused to anger, and he promptly
added full charge of large shot to the
weight of one of the brothers, cauS-
ing death almost instantly.
When the interest in the death of
Siegel had died down, says the Chicago
Tribune, Haas led his bride to the
altar and continued business at the
old stand, not caring to go away on
honeymoon trip. His business pros
pered and everything went along
smoothly until one night as he was
going home from the store he was
shot dead from ambush, the bullet
fired by the unseen foe entering the
heart. The finger of suspicion, as it
is sometimes called, was pointed at
the surviving Siegel, but when he
asked the men of CorteZ to proclaim
publicly that they thought he was the
man, not one of them opened his
mouth. This particular Siegel was
the best shot in several counties.
John Haas went TO Cortez from
Mount Gilead to settle up his brothers
business affairs, for the widow was too
prostrated to think of anything but
her sorrows, but she frightened up
after Johns arrival He was not bad
looking, and, being a good business
man. soon Strengthened out all the
commercial kinks. He had business
10 attend to in Ohio, but he length
ened his stay at Cortez until it was
100 late TO return. He had fallen in
love with his brothers relict, and the
end of it all was that he married her
He. like his brother William, lived hap
PLY with Jane. who was still the most
beautiful woman in COrtez, until mis-
sudden death. Whether the Siegel
brother still had vengeance in his
heart or not is not known, but it is
said he was in town when William
died
There was still another Haas broth
er, named Henry, at Mount Gilead. and
it became his DUTY to go west and look
after the interests of the widow. He
was more or less reluctant. but he did
not shirk his duty. He went to Cor
tez, put the business in proper shape,
and then began TO hnger. lie might
have gone back to Ohio again, but he
didn't. The widow was not so young
as when she first married. but her
eyes were still bright and Henry, be-
ing unmarried, liked her. To all ap-
peaTances she was not averse to his
company, and at last he ventured to
suggest that il would not be a bad
idea if they be came man and wife. As
a saving CLAUSE he remarked that it
were better, perhaps, if they were wed
at Mount Gilead and made their per-
manent residence there. He thought
the climate at CsrteZ unhealthy. She
agreed with him, and in a few days
they will go to Mount Gilead, get mar
ried, and reside at the old Haas home
stead.

Outter, and spread her luncheon out on
Ehe kitchen table.
Then she sat down on a kitchen
chair before the rejection.
Then she did not do one single, sOli
tary thing to those sliced onions and
that bread and butter.
"Um, mercy on us, but amt they
nice, thought" she murmured, almost
every time she stabbed into the onion
dish with her fork. And haven't |
lust been longing for 'em, too! I'd just
rather sit here in the kitchen and eat
sliced onions with vinegar and bread
and butter than sit down to any old
formal luncheon anywhere!"
Thus she gormandized, Pondering on
low good the onions tasted, and max
ing up her mind that she intended to
nave them for her luncheon every fu-
tare day on which she knew she was
not to go out in the evening. Thus re-
aecting. she peeled and sliced the third
large onion and ate it delightedly.
She had just conveyed the last scrap
Of the final onion to her facial orifice
when the front door bell rang.
"Oh, fudge!" said the young woman,
as she rushed upstairs to answer the
bell, thinking that the ringer would
probably prove to be a peddler or can
vasser or something similar.
But the ringer of the bell was the
young woman's chummiest and inti-
mataSt GIRL chum
"Oh, Elvira," gasped the young wom-
on's chummiest and intimatest girl
shum. bursting breathlessly into the
aalI. "I'm just tickled foolish that I've
found you at home! Jim, my New
York brother, came down unexpected
ly last night, and he's got a box for the
theater tonight, and lot of the incest
boys are coming, and you must come,
md what are you going to wear?"
Then Elvira tottered TO the sitting
room couch and buried her face in the
pillow. She didn't join the box party,
but she will never miss another box
oarty on account of onions. She has
taken the pledge against them finally
and forever.
