| hear that several fine ladies of mas
culine tastes have started new fashion.
Not content with hunting all the winter,
smoking cigarettes at the covert side. rid
ing astride. and other devices heretofore
regarded as the special prerogative Of
the male sex, they must play polo.
So on some Of these mornings lately
one or two great ladies have been meet
ing al one OF the outdoor clubs near Lon
don with their grooms and polo ponies in
attendance: they have then spent an
hour or two at polo. dashing about all
over the ground and apparently quite i'm
peryious to the risks of what is certainly
not always a safe game even for men.
One fears IL this fashion spreads (as
ii probably will since 1t has been started

that have befallen the too venturesome In

MUCH OBLIGED TO THE CORPSE
WASHINGTON MERCHANT WAS
NOT REALLY DEAD.
His Friends Paid Their Bills.
Though, Just to Help the
"Widow."

While feeling sympathy for the be-
reaved widow and children Of a fellow
countryman, / feel that / ought to
thank the corpse" remarked a Wash
ington business man a few days ago,
and proceeded to explain:
Business with me is dull in warm
weather, and yearning for a holiday 1
took an outing a few weeks ago at the
seashore. On my return and in looking
over my books | found that my men
had done but little work in my absence,
and yet my handbook showed a large
amount to my credit, much more than
my average in the busiest seasons. OF
course, ! was gratified as well as puz-
zied why so many had paid their bills,
ard asked my clerk if he could explain II.
That's easy" was the reply. "A
DAY or Two after you left a man Of
your name, age and nationality died
and the earth had not settled over his
grave before old customers came in to
pay their bills. supposing you had gone
over. Ana you ought to have heard the
good words spoken of you Some had
attended your funeral services at the
church and others expressed regret at
their inability to have been there You
have no idea how much respect and
sympathy was expressed j told them
better as made out the receipts.
Helping the Widow.
Il see now," said the boss. They
thought that they were helping the
widow. l have heard that Daniel Web
ster's death fifty-odd years ago was fol-
lowed by phenomenal sales of Web
ster's dictionary, many buying it as a
memento and to help the widder,' con-
founding him with Noah Webster, the
photographer, who had died about ten
years before. Our experience is. some
thing the same in small way. It's
an i'll wind that blows nobody good,
and here l am better off pecuniarily
and have learned what the people think
of me, all because Of the decease of one
of my name

CHAPTER XIV.
The Sunday Murder.


Banks posse, leaving Medicine Bend
before daybreak, headed northwest.
Their instructions were explicit: To
scatter after crossing the Frenchman,
watch the trails from the Goose river
country and through the Mission
mountains, and intercept everybody
riding north until the posse from
Sleepy Cat or Whispering Smith
should communicate with them from
the southwest. Nine men rode in the
party that crossed the Crawling Stone
Sunday morning at sunrise with Ed
Banks.
After leaving the river the three
white-capped Saddles of the Mission
range afforded a landmark for more
than 100 miles, and toward these the
party pressed steadily all day. The
southern pass of the Missions opens
on the north slope of the range into
a pretty valley known as Mission
Springs valley, and the springs are
the head-wSters of Deep creek. The
posse did not quite obey the instruc-
tons, and following a natural instinct
of safety five of them, after Banks
and his three deputies had scattered,
punched again, and at dark crossed
Deep creek at some distance below the
springs. 1t was afterward known that
these five men had been seen entering
the valley from the east at shutdown
just as four of the men they wanted
rode down South Mission pass toward
the springs. That they knew they
would soon be cut off, or must cut
