Her Dowry.

When Mrs. Simpson laid down the
paper she had been reading she looked
thoughtfully at her husband for some
moments before she spoke. From
across the cold little hall came the
sound Of Arabellass voice and that of
the young man she was soon to marry.
We haven't got a sign of a dowry
for Arabella, pa" said Mrs. Simpson at
last.
What's that:" asked Mr. Simpson,
suddenly reused from his perusal Of the
weekly paper.
"A doWry is things parents give a
daughter when she's married, like heir
looms and money and fine linen,'' said
Mrs. Simpson impatiently. You know
that, but you've forgotten Arabella
hasn't one thing but the clothes she's
made herself. VIII wouldn't expect us
to give her money. and as they're going
to live with his folks she doesn't need
the linen, but wish to mercy we'd got
some heirlooms for her.
"Well. why haven't we:' demanded
Arabella's father stoutly. whats the
reason she can't have Grandfather
Brickett's! old powderhorn and flint
lock and the old eoonskin cap? She's
all the child we've got, and I shan't

knife too. I've got me a new one which

out. and if she wants more let her have
the old belluses- 10y Youths Companion.

but he was unhurt.
Sam was astounded. He was not a
victor after all; on the contrary. he
now faced his greatest peril. This
flashed upon him as the Indian stopped

A sharp, quick spasm Of pain shot
through Sans left arm, and 1t fell
helpless to his side-the ball had shat

TO the ground. but his GOODNESS and
courage did not leave him. The gun
had not fairly touched the grass before
he had drawn his revolver and taken
aim at the savage. but the latter was
equally quick with his gun. The two
reports rang out as one, and both men
fell.
