A Woman With a Temper.


think we must have been fully an
hour at 1t, riding at no mean pace,
and with utter disregard of danger.
Although l knew little of where we
We're, and nothing as to the condition
of the path we traversed, yet so COM
plete was my confidence in Craig that
I felt no hesitancy in blindly following
the pace he set. Then black shape
doomed up before us SO suddenly that
it was only by quick effort l pre-
vented collision. Even as l held
my horse poised half in air, per-
ceived it was Craig himself who
blocked the way.
What is it, sergeant?"
"a picket, sir, at the end of the
road" he said. quietly II kinder reck-
oned they'd hev some sort O. guard

sure. The teller helped me out Dit

asked, thinking only how rapidly the
night hours were speeding and of the
Importance Of the duty pressing upon
us.
Not with Their woman, sir" he an
swered in a low, reproachful voice.
Besides we never could git through
without shot, an if by any dern luck
it should turn out to be cavalry out
post-an sorter reckon that's what
| ic- IN, cho
fer hard run. You uns better walt
here, sir, an let me tend ter that soger
man quiet like, an then p'raps we uns
kin all slip by without stirrin' up
ther patrol"
Well" said, reluctantly, yield
ing to what l felt was doubtless the
wiser course, and mechanically grasp
ing the rein he held out to me, go
ahead. But be careful, and don't
waste any time. II we hear the sound
of a shot we shall ride forward under
spur
"All right, sir. but there'll be no
fuss, fer know just whar Their Teller
is"
Time seems oriminally long when
one is compelled to wait in helpless
uncertainty, every nerve on strain.
Hold yourself ready for sudden
start" said, warningly to my COM
panion. IF there is any noise of a
struggle yonder shall drive in the
spurs"
AS I spoke swung the sergeant's
horse around to my side, where l
could control him more readily.
There was no reply from the wom-
an, but noticed she endeavored to
draw together the Tapping cape of
her cloak, as though she felt chilled
by the wind and her figure seemed to
stiffen in the saddle.
1t came at last-not the sharp flash
OF musket cleaving the night in
twain, but merely the tall figure of
the sergeant, stealing silently out of
the gloom like black ghost, and
standing at our very horses heads.
"All clear, sir" he reported in a
matter-of-fact tone. But we shall
hev ter move mighty quiet, fer Their
main picket post amt more nor a
hundred yards ter the right O. Their
crossin'."
He did not remount, but, with reins
flung loosely over his arm, led the
way slowly forward. and carefully we
followed him.
What had become of the sentinel I
did not know, respecting Craig's evil
dent desire for silence; but as we
drew nearer the White Briar road l
sought in vain to pierce the dense
gloom and note some sign of a strug-

VOLUME OF LIFE INSURANCE
ImmenSity of the Business and Its
Steady Growth from Year
to Year.

In late issue Of the New York specta-
tor there is presented a remarkable show
ing OF the standing and growth OF life
insurance companies in the United States
for the year 1910. The footinEs OF an ex-
tensive table show q larger list of active
companies than ever before and the larg-
est single years transactions. "In 1904 /"
says the Spectator, the life insurance
companies OF this country wrote and
policyholders paid for over one and three
quarter billions OF new Insurance During
the three following years the business
fell off. due to the unsettled condition OF
the public mind following the various legis-
lative Investigations. In 1903 the business
again took en- upward turn, until In 1910
a new record for new issues was estab-
lished. During the six years since 1874 the
number Of companies engaged In the bust
ness has more than doubled but the in
crease in new insurance Is only partly
due to their entry upon the scene, as .
great majority of the old-established COM
panies made considerable gains during 1910.
Last year the new paid-for ordinary bust
ness amounted to s.. So. $4,000. or S1A2 ISIS. 900
more than in the previous year. while at
the close OF the year the ordinary insurance
in force amounted to S1S.z25 oO0. again

LOOKS RIGHT TO PAPER
Defense of Trading Stamp by Building
Trades Journal.
PRINCIPLE HAILED AS THE BEST
Investigation, According to Balti-
more Publication, Proves Prices
I'm Stamp Stores Are often
Lower Than Others.

The Building Trades Journal Of Baltimore
prints the following regarding "s. & H"
green trading stamps:
THE Journal, upon it's own account, has
been investigating trading stamps that 1t
might prove or disprove the claims for and
against them.
III trading stamps are a benefit to the
laboring man and his family, It is our duty
to advise our readers to collect the stamps
On the other hand. IL they are not a bene-
it, We should make that fact plain.
Our Investigations have shown that
there is as wide difference in the respon-
sibility of trading stamp companies as
there is in banking institutions, trust COM
papies or any concern which handles the
funds OF others
''The principle OF trading stamps is
good. It is not only when not properly
conducted that fault can be found with
trading stamps. OF the number OF con-
Germs we investigated, one stands pre-em-
inently for responsibility and square deal
ing. We refer to the Sperry g. Hutchin-
son Co., who originated trading stamps
fifteen years ago, and who do business
with the largest department stores and
thousands of responsible merchants
throughout the United States.
stamp issued by the Sperry < Hutchinson
Co.. is gilt edged, and that it will be re-
de ned whenever the holder is ready to
redeem 1t.
Further investigation proved that in the
stores where s. & H. green trading
stamps are given prices are low or lower
than they are in stores where no stamps
are given That means you would spend
no mora money for the aama Rooda hut
probably less money for the same goods
in a store where you can get the g. & H.
stamps than you would in store where
you cannot get them. This proves that
the stamps, whatever their vRlue are q
bona fde discount-a reward, pure and
simple, which the merchants give to their
patrons for patronizing them and paying
spot cash.
zone stamp in itself. like the little COP
per. does not stand for much. But also
like the penny. II saved they rapidly accu-
mulate, 30 that IL Is an easy matter for
every family to annually obtain thousands
OF stamps.
I'VE visited the g. & H. premium par
lor at No. A2 North Howard street. and
were surprised to see what a few thou
sands of these stamps will get.
The proposition as we see it. is this:
Since a family can obtain thousands of
stamps each year, since the stamps cost
them nothing, it is right that they should
get them. Failure to get them would mean
a downright loss to the family. which may
be measured by the value of the premiums
which the stamps would obtain
1.-THE Journal found also that the Sperry
