\ F1sHERM WIFE.
1913, BY. ". warner,.

Mars1y Lull was getting breakfast.
She hoped Connor would be pleased
with wlla, she offered when he came
home from his fishing. She expected
out at ) o'clock to haul in his nets
and it Was now Z. At intervals she
went to the window, pushed aside ,he

she saw a dory dark on the water.
but none was Conncr's.
Standing at the window outside
which hollyhocks fared and scarlet
sage and heliotrope mingled Marshy
Lull made a worthy picture. She was
q handsome woman--slinl, tall. With
the teeth: hair and eyes that dis
tinguished the women Of thai part of
In the narrow lane underneath the
window a man passed slowly. He
glanced up and saw Marshy in the
window. He was young, dressed in
gray with q panama hat. and he had
some artists traps under his arm. He
was going toward the beach where
artists gathered in order TO sketch the
fishing boats. She colored and drew
back. shielding herself behind the
curtain. There was a bold admira.
ton in his look that she was not used
TO. She did not know whether she
llheo 1t or not, but 1t set her pulse
a-hying. He was so good looking and
so different from the man who had
been her father and the man who was
her husband.
tnout a sound to warn her the
door flew ope and Conner entered.
He had come around the house SO
that h had neither seen nor heard
him. His face was as brown as the
rocks among which he had lived all
his life. He had a string of mackerel
in his hand He flung the fish down
almost violently.

asked.
No: 1 sold the rest" His eye,
flashed upon her. II met that artist
fellow in the lane as I came up"
Il saw him so by" Marshy replied
quietly.
You usually do see him when he
goes By. Ell? And he's forever going
by. He wanted to buy my fish, and
then he asked me to take him out
in my dory this afternoon. I shall, Of
course"
Why not. il he pays you:" Marshv
asked wonderingly.
Conner stripped off his thick sweat
er M kicked off his fishing boots.
He laughed. I'D like to take him
Conner! Why" Marshy paused,
aghast. in the act Of dishing up the
fish,. She stared at her husband. who
stared back at her. but with quite a
different expression.
Because I hate him. He's after

Marshy turned pale. She caught
her breath. We'll. I don't notice him"

HAsr LEGISLATION.

Our friends in Minnesota are just
lance rate Law which was enacted at
the last session of the legislature. and
which provides that distance shall be
the sole basis for fixing railroad rates
in that state. The passage Of the Law
was due to the fact that under the
former customs there was discrimina-
lion against certain communities, and
in order to cure this a general Law
was passed putting the whole thing
on 4 distance basis.
The effects of passing a law hastily.
ard without taking into account all
the facts are now becoming appar-
INT. Nothing is said about what shall
lie done in the case of two roads con
meeting the same two cities. but by
routes uf different length. II the
C:ashman law is carried out the longer
road must charge a higher rate. That
would be had for the longer road, for
its business between the two points
would be wiped out. I, would also
be bad for the two towns. for it is Of
the highest importance for towns SO
situated to have service by roads
which complete for business on terms
which make it possible for both to
get some of it. Every day or two
something develops which was not
thought of by the farmers Of that law.
In a business SO intricate as the
traffic business no general law can
meet ali conditions. The sane plan
is TO have general laws prescribing
the general conditions. and to have a
railroad commission given full auth
ority to make regulation. for the spe-
cial cases. doing so in conformity with
the spirit Of the Law.

congress can do is to let Cook alone.

to her. and any old place in the ews

TERRORIzEs JENKINS.
KILLED BY OFFICER.

Last Sunday afternoon at five
o'clock police officer N. B. Ash, at
jenkins, shot and killed w. X. Gull
lett, a carpenter at that place, while
trying to place him under arrest.
Gullett had been drinking heay-
lily all day, according to the reports
and late in the afternoon he became
violent. Drawing his revolver. he be-
gan to- fire at the houses, and drove
everybody in doors, threatening
death to anyone who should step
into the street. Polcie headquarters
were notified, and officer Ash was
sent out to place the terrorizer UNI
der arrest. Ash went up one street
looking for him and Police Judge
Collins went up another. Ash en-
countered him on his way out and
demanded him to lay down his
weapon. This Gullett stoutly refus-
ed to do, and turned to walk off.
When he had gone twenty PAGES he
turned and fired several shots at
Ash. Seeing that something must
be quickly done, Ash. whose head
was grazed by one of the bullets
from Gullett's revolver. fired three
shots at the retreating man, all OF
which took effect; two in the right
arm. and one in the abdomen. Gull
lett was quickly removed to the To-
cal hospital, and died there one hour
and a half afterwards.
Ash gave himself up to the au-
thorities, and was taken to Whites
burg.
