Besting the Desperate
By CHARLES L. DECKER

punish the crime or prevent a subse-
quent murder. IL the husband and ia
Their did not die of his wound he would
subsequently be killed.
1t remained for a weak woman to
solve the problem As soon as she
could be spared from attendance on
her husband Mrs. Rogers tool a bag
and went out on the plain. When she
returned 1t was evident that she had
something in the bag. but what Il
1 was no one knew and no one cared.
She took It into the cellar and left 1t
there, locking the door. Every day
after that she would go into the cellar,
take the bag and go down into the
hamlet, where she would spend some
time answering questions as to her
husbands. condition, but 1t was MOTTO
ed that she was always looking about
her and had an eye especially on the
saloon.
One morning while she was thus en-
gagged Texas Bill came out of the sa-
loon. smoking a long black cigar. His
trousers were tucked In his boots, his
flannel shirt was open, exposing his
hairy breast, and his face was flushed
with liquor. a revolver was slung to
each hip, and a long knife was in his
belt. Mrs. Rogers left her friends and
advanced toward him.
There was something about her move
ment to tell the others that she had
some intent concerning her husbands
enemy-a certain resolute look In her
eye, a quickness in her walk. She
seemed like a David advancing to at
tack a Goliath. Was the bag she car
ried a sling containing a stone?
Texas Bill stood for a moment on the
porch of the saloon looking out on the
desolate scene. then staggered down the
steps and walked away from the group
of which Mrs. Rogers had formed a
part. She followed him. While doing
s 10 she raised the skirt of her dress and
from about her waist uncoiled a rope.
When she came to within a few yards
of Bill she threw a moose In the rope
over his shoulders and when it fell to
his elbows gave it a sudden jerk, pin
ioning his arms.
From this moment she moved with
lightning-li like rapidity, holding the lasso
in her left hand, while with her right
she turned the bag over on Bills shout
ders. A loathsome thing fastened It,
self on to his back. Giving a mighty
yell. he freed his arms and grasped
what chung to him, but 1t was too late
TO save himself from its bite. Wrench
ing it of. he saw the deadly Gila.
Fortunately for the woman he was
too intently engaged with the monster
to pay any heed to her or he might
have served her as he had served her
husband. He went bowling down the
road, and his cries were heard till
death relieved him of his agony.
Rogers recovered, and his wife was
ever after known as the woman who
had beaten Texas Bill.

while in great agony, then dies.
There is-or rather there was-out
on the plains west of the Missouri river
q human monster as much to be dread
ed as the ella. This was the desperate
who finds his prowling grounds in new
countries. When America was being
occupied by a civilized people the hui
man ella was the renegade white. He
lived with the Indians and fought with
them against their enemies, including
those of his own color. When the saw
ages wished to draw the whites into
an ambush they would use the renegade
for the purpose, and he was not asham-
ed to serve them.
This human monster In another form
was the terror Of the plains when they
were passing from lawlessness to civ
ilization. He delighted in cruelty.
There was no law in the country on
which he had obtruded himself to pre-
vent his murders or punish him there.

was his especial implement he was SO
skillful with it that he had every ad.

Mark Rogers, an Indiana farmer,
having a sickly wife. sold his farm
and took her with their children to a
region In the southwest then being
taken up by white settlers. There he
"squatted" and raised what crops he
could while his wife was regainina
her strength. A hamlet grew up in
the vicinity, consisting of four dwell
ings, a store, a blacksmith shop and a
saloon. One day Rogers was passing
through the hamlet when a mar
known as Texas Bill came out Of the
saloon firing his revolver about him as
n boy celebrating the Fourth of July.
Seeing Rogers, he put a bullet into his
left breast, in the region of the heart
He had nothing whatever against Rog-

His victim fell and lay in the road
till some persons took him up and car

hope that he would survive, and at his
death his invalid widow and her chill

This BODIED no good for the Rogers
family. Texas Bill would have every

to be expected that If Rogers recover

one knew that Bill would be on the
watch for his enemy in case he got
out again. There were nc courts to

TRIPLE WOLFE.
A New Material For Underwear Makes
Its Appearance.

a New Material For Underwear Makes
Its Appearance.
There is n new material called triple
wolfe that is rivaling the fine Italian
silks as suitable material for under
garments.
1t is certainly very de luxe, If not
more so.
Any woman will confess that silk
chemises, combinations, petticoats and
nighties give her q sensation of wealth
that cannot be beaten by any other
wardrobe possessions. They are expen
sive, but they outlast the muslins. How
ever, the new wolfe Is said to be even
more durable and does not crush. This
material has the consistency Of the
finer japanese silks and is quite the
lightest weight fabric ever turned out
by the looms. Its durability is sure.
and for that reason it leaves handker-
chief linen and crepe de chine out Of
the running. The best colors are rose.
blue, cream and banana shade. and the
most belligerent and reckless laundress
cannot fade them.
Hand embroidery, narrow f~ootings
and headings are used for trimmings.
Fol very grand affairs the tiny rose
buds and forgetmenots of ribbon are
employed.

CLEANING HINT.
How to Remove Grease Spots Efec-
lively With an Absorbent.

aNCty " ah NbcSf 49,
In removing a grease spot it is best
to try an absorbent, for the absorbents
are all harmless to materials and easily
applied. Flour or cornstarch sprinkled
ON linen Immediately will remove all
spots. 1t should be left on for several
hours, but q warm iron placed on a
cloth over the powder and left until
cold will hasten the process.
Turpentine or any of the other sol
vents may be used with an absorbent
powder to make a paste for spreading
over the spot. When sponging a spot
IL one commences at the outside and
works toward the center spreading Of
the grease Is avoided. 1t is always
safer to test the cleanser on a scrap OF
the material TO see that the color Is not
affected. The use of a piece OF the
material for a sponge also lessons the
liability of changing the color. The
bling with a piece Of dry cloth.
Chloroform and ether are best for
removing grease from delicate fabrics.
Alcohol also dissolves grease, but often
affects colors. A mixture of equal
parts of the three Is often most effec-
tive. Kerosene does not evaporate
completely, so must be followed by an
absorbent or soap and water. Gaso-
line is best for most purposes, since 1t
Is inexpensive, quickly effective and
evaporates rapidly. All Of these solv-
ents are highly infammable and must
be handled with great care.

Methodist Bodies May Combine.
A movement to create the American
Methodist church, to further unity and
be the biggest religious body in Amer
lea, will be considered by the Metho-
dist general conference at Saratoga
next May. The proposal is not for a
mere union of south and north, but for
a complete reorganization Of all Meth
odist bodies, or all principal one at
least.
Combining Methodist interests of
America Is going to mean n religious
body of 6.00O.OOO actual enrolled Man,
bers. But this number will obtain only
II those now more or less committed
to the plan enter upon 1t. The expec-
tation is. however, that Methodists
Protestant and one or more colored
bodies of large memberships will join
In. If this expectation shall be realized
there win be nearer 100000 members,
by far the largest single religious body
in America.
The plan contemplates that no SOON
err are Methodist issues to be pooled,
than there are to be separations. The
American Methodist church is to have
for its administration four general con
ferences, similar to the one now to
meet at Saratoga, with four distinct
boards Of bishops. Whether there
shall be many publishing houses or
one. many missionary societies or n
for each line of work, as home. foreign,
education, etc, has not been detcrmin-
ed. II Is over these matters that OPP
position is expected to develop. Al
ready the American Methodist is the
largest foreign missionary society in
the world in point Of financial receipts.
The four new Methodist bodies 10
make up the American Methodist are
to be the south, the colored, the eastern
and the western. Possibly other names
will be selected for the last two, but
they will consist Of the present north
ern body divided into two parts for the
transaction of its business. The two
parts are already so large that they arc
attempting to enroll this year 5000
laity and to add to their membership a
net gain of 100000. Last year the net
gain was 167 900.
In spite Of some opposition the belief
seems to be general that the plan will
go through. 1t is also believed that the
Methodists Protestant will join and
that the Colored Methodist church will
bring to 1t vast numbers Of colored
people now separately enrolled. The
change would mean the extinction Of a
few churches In cities in the south and
extreme west where both north and
south are now represented.

Property Of churehmen.

At the recent meeting of the Penn
sylvania diocesan commission of the
Episcopal church the committee on
housing was directed to get In touch
with the secretary Of the Housing as
ISOLATION to ascertain if there were any
churchmen owning properties which
were a violation Of the spirit and let
ter Of the housing law. The commit
tee stated that 1t had already made
preliminary inquiry to that effect and
that the answer was on the whole re-
assuring, but that 1t proposed to con-
tinue the investigation. The rector Of
one of the older and weather. par
ishes, who was present, stated that he
had had a list of properties belonging to
his vestry prepared and proposed TAX

In this connection it is both interest
ing and impressive to note the fact
that Christ church parish, Philadel-

erty because it preferred to have the
property used for unexceptional pur-
poses rather than to increase its in
