on Weber at fair range. From this
point the red fired nine times at
Webber's right side, which was
exposed to his view. He either had
a poor gun or was much excited,
for not one of the bullets counted,
although some of them whistled I'M
comfortably close.
Weber didn't even turn his head
that way. The woman came to the
window and said the other two
were in sight, and he instructed her
to open fire with the revolver. She
had fired pistol only few times,
and 1t must have been entirely by
accident that at her very first fire
she wounded one of the fellows in
the hip, and he at once crawled
away to take care Of himself. The
other one sent three bullets through
the window at which she was
standing, but she kept firing away
at him and sending so much lead
around his ears that he dared not
advance.
The fight in front lasted about
half an hour. Whenever there was
lull in the firing Weber looked
to see the Indians spring up and
make rush and to prevent this
he fired a random along the bank,
tearing up the sod and flinging the
dirt over the redspins in hiding.
He had no idea that help was in
hand, and was yet depending upon
himself, when the Indians sudden
ly ceased firing and beat a retreat,
and 10 minutes later Moss and his
man rode up, having been met on
the open prairie by the riderless
horse. In retreating from the ra-
vine the Indians carried away the
dead warrior, but the one wounded
by Mrs. Moss was left to take care
of himself. He was found in the
dry furrow and despatched. The
heroism of Weber in taking and
maintaining his position, severely
wounded as he was, and of the wo-
man obeying his orders, hopeless
as the defense must have appeared
to her, deserves a place on the
pages Of undying history.

BY Chas. Grant Miller.

Children crowded the little cot
tage, and the woman's hands and
heart were heavy with household
cares. The smiles of youth and
hope had gone from her face, and
in their stead were the marks of
hopeless drudgery and soul-deaden-
ing sorrows.
Her husband-a good fellow -
could not understand her when she
chided him for his lack of affection.
What would you have?" he would
say. Il support you well, and all
the success that Is mine | share
with you. Why complaint that you
are not loved, when there can be
no better proof of love than this?"
So the little home looked smaller
and the furniture shabbier as the
years dragged on. She felt that
life surely meant something more.
They had loved dearly in the old
days, and even now she could glad
ly have forgiven the infidelties
and forgotten the heart aches the
knowledge of them caused her, if
only he would take her in his arms
again and tell her he loved her
better than the others.
Year by year she grew more sus-
picious and morbid, until the light
of her life darkened down to the
horizon and left her only the gloom.
And one day she sank down, hope
gone and her heart breaking.
Then, unseen because of her
tears, the Angel of Love came and
touched her, and departed, looking
back tenderIy upon her.
The woman reused herself as
from a reverie, and when con-
seriousness of outward things came
to her, behold! the narrow rooms
had expanded into spacious cham
bers and were bathed in glorious
sunshine and blessed with the
sweet music of her babbling babes.
She turned to her unfinished tasks
and song broke from her heart as
she found them easy and sweet.
She ran with radiant face to meet
her returning husband at the door,
and his face changed as he looked
at her; with an impulse he had not
felt in years, he kissed her and
caught her in lingering embrace.
"See!" she cried. as not our
little home suddenly turned bright
and beautiful? Listen! Is not the
laughing of the children rich music 2
My heart and my hands, which
were SO heavy, are now light
again."
He pressed her more closely to
him and stroked her hair.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 3.-.Judge
Thomas II, Paynter Of the Kentucky
court Of appeals was nominated on the
first ballot taken in joint caucus at
night to select Democratic candidate
! 10 succeed United States Senator J. C.
S Blackburn. The nomination carries
with it the certainty Of election, as the
+ Democrats have more than twO-thirds
OF the combined membership Of both
branches of the legislature. The vote
was as follows:

Judge Paynter's nomination ends
one of the hardest senatorial struggles
OF the past twenty years Of Kentucky
politics. His nearest opponent was ].
G. S. Blackburn, the incumbent. who
represented Kentucky in the house and
senate with but one intermission for
nearly quarter Of century. Until
two days ago it was generally believed
that there would be a deadlock in the
caucus. When the house and senate

night 1t became apparent that Judge
Paynter, who was backed by Governor
Beckham and the state administration
men, would gain the coveted prize. AL
though the Haldeman and Blackburn
forces combined to name the officers
of the Two houses, Paynter men were
installed The vote at night showed
that Paynter not only held Monday
nights strength, but received an ac-
cession of two votes. When the Joint
caucus met at night there was no con-
test over the craftsmanship. Senator

OF the senate caucuss, was unanimous
