fight about her, and some one was sure

choose some one and stop the hghtin.
But she wouldn't. Shed make blieve
she was goin' to take one OF EN- and
then start In to encourage another.
II anything was needed to keep up the
list of casualties this filed the bill.
"Well, IL got 80 bad at last, 80 many
GOOD men beln' killed, that Mr.. Park
hurst sent Miss Riggs word that he'd
be pleased to furnish her ticket back
where she came from. She sent word
to him that she'd ruther be an old
maid In Colorado than bloomln' mar
ried woman in the east. Then Mr..
Parkhurst went to see her to reason
with her She jlst set there listenin'
to him with her head on one side and
her nose In the air and didn't answer
never a word,
Things KEEP goIn' from bad to worse
Some of the men Miss Riggs had re-
fused TUX to drink, and most Of 'em
wouldn't work. 1t was impossible to
git other hands, and the dirt taken out
was gittin less and less every day. 1t
begun TO seem that IL Miss Riggs wasn't
married or didn't go away the mine
would have to shet down. The presi.
dent wrote to know what was up.
Mr.. Parkhurst wrote to send on car
load of women. The president wrote
that Miss Bowers had come back and
wouldn't advise no more gals to 20
to sich benIghted place. This looked
purity black. Mr.. Parkhurst called for
old Ben HuepIns and axed him what
WINS best 10 he done.
