Our Daily Story.
A W0MAN'S REVENGE

for my little joker
Get a rope"
"For Gods sake, don't murder
mel" whined the Terror. "Oh, you
won't, you can't-you don't dare to!
I'm sorry l took your town-won' t
never do such thing again! Say,
you may have my horse and shoot
ers!"
The woman made a moose with
her own hands.
Throw the free end over that
limb" she commanded.
"Oh, have mercy! This woman
is crazy, keep her away"
With her own hands she placed
the moose over his head and then
stepped back and said:
Everyone take hold"
ooh, you mustn't! I'm bad
man! l won't have time to repent!
| cant die this"
Pull him up"
Twenty strong arms walked away
with the rope, and the Terror was
pulled 10 feet from the ground. He
kicked, struggled, whirled round
and round and died the death of
dog.
Not until all was over did the
woman's stony gaze leave her face.
When the body hung iup and life
less she turned away, walked over
to the body of her murdered hus-
hand, and, sinking down, mourned
and wept, and could not be com
forted. She was woman again.
Half a mile below the town is a
headboard beside the highway. On
it is engraved:
THE TERROR
HUMBLED TO THE DUST BY A
WOMAN.
And you have the story just as
they told it to me.

1T WAS A SORRY DAY FOR THE
TERROR WHEN HE CAP
TURED THE TOWN.

A burly form, thick neck, face
coevred with bristles, hands COW
cred with hair, voice like the bel
low of bull, a natural swagger to
his gait, eyes like mad dogs,
mouth no cleaner than a hogs, a
clustering, roaring, malicious brute.
Such was the Terror.
A mile away from the little west
ern town he halted his horse and
braced his courage with a half pint
of whisky. He pulled out his re-
volvers and saw that the yere load

bowie knife and tried the keen
edge.
He was going to capture the
town and run it.

In the town men were at work
in shops. Women sat in the doors
or walked to and fro. From the
open windows in the school house
came the voices of the children.
1t was an hour of peace.
Cyl! vi! vi! Shoot! Crack!
Bnag!"
The Terror had sprung the town.
In five minutes he had captured it.
Two men lay dead in front of the
store-another at the door OF the
blacksmith shop; two more were
graoning with grievous wounds.
"Whoop! Augh! Come out, ye
skulks! I'm the only and original

There was a woman. Her hus-
band fas the first man shot, and
her eyes were upon him as he fell.
She did not scream or faint away.
Her face turned winter than chalk,
she gasped for breath two or three
times and then her teeth shut hard.
The sewing fell from her hand,
and she rose up, walked to the bed
room and was back in a moment
with a rifle. Kneeling down at the
window she pushed the barrel over
the sill, aimed straight at the Ter
ror's head and pulled the trigger.
"Whoop! Waugh! They call me

He threw up his arms as the

Santiago Escapes With Immense De-

Washington, Aug. 21.-Cable advices
we're received at the Chilean legation
today, dated at Santiago, Chile, August
IS, stating that the earthquake in that
city was very severe, but that there
we're few casualties. Up to the time
of filing the dispatch, which the charge
d'affsires believes was Saturday even
ing, no news had been received in San
tiago from Valparaiso on account OF the
interruption to the railroad and the
telegraph lines.
A dispatch to the State department
from the consul at Iquique reports that
Valparaiso is in ruins from an earth
quake and ls on fire. 1t is stated that
at the time Of filing the dispatch there
was no communication with Santiago
and no further details we're obtainable.
The date of this dispatch is in doubt.
Mr.. Buchanan, the head of the Amer
lean delegation to the Pan-American
congress at Rio, cabled the State de-
uartment today stating that no informa-
ton had been received at Rio Janeiro
regarding the earthquake, and asked for
news. Secretary Adee cabled the intor'
nation contained in the dispatches from
Minister Hicks at Santiago.
