Under one of her many aliases Kate

followed that memorable massacre.
&, When that little unpIeaSantness

was almost in Mysteries, but the
other one kept her head sufficiently
to be of some use in the emergency.

handed this one Winchester and
a big six-shooter, with instructions
as to their use, and calm Are you
man enough to save the last two
bullets for yourself and her, if it

ing in the mines. Naturally in the
fast, exciting life of those years she
lost all that was left to her of
womanly sweetness and grace. Her
associates were for the most part
rough, uncouth, dissipated men, and
she naturally enough fell into their
ways, and acquired their habits.
First she took to smoking. Drink
ing and gambling followed as a mat
ter of course. She lost such good
looks as had been hers. When she
first appeared as q young man she
seemed a pleasant, comely-looking
fellow, clean, honest, clear-eyed. But
in the middle-aged woman who died

one day last spring, a miner whose
hands were soiled and callous, whose
face bore the marks of dissipation
and hard living, fell i'll, and in the
course of that illness the secret
which Kate Maher had kept locked
in her heart for SO many years
came out The sick miner was that
same Kate Maher who had been left
an orphan on the Western border
in the early days.
She regained her health, but she
was apparently overwhelmed with
humiliation az the sudden revela-
tion of her sex TO the friends and
associates among whom she had
lived and worked, eaten and drunk,
gambled and smoked as a man for
thirty years. She was not willing to
take up again the burdens of
womanhood among them. She dis
appeared once more-and now she
is dead.
When she first put on a mans
clothes and a mans manners and a
mans name, she turned naturally to
freighting, the work in which her
father had lost his life. In those
days it was the wild West i'm fact
as well as In fiction. 1t had its great
unsettled, uncivilized spaces between
the Missouri river and the Rocky
mountains. its Indians were still
hostile and its animals still wild.
She made many wagon trips across
the plains, and had not a few thrill
ing adventures with Indians. She
soon learned that gun was a
mighty handy thing to have within
reach; and there were few on the
border who could handle one better.
She found freighting rather tame.
The spirit of adventure was upon
her, and under its guidance she
found life very much better worth
living than she had imagined It
could be. She gave up freighting.
and for a few years her life was
crowded with incident and experi-
ence of the dime novel brand. Those
