Why, child, you couldn't do half the work the milking, 30 head, and. gathering fodder besides tak- ing care of the house, And any- way, two girls alone Up there aren't safe."
 But Karen Stenseard, laughing and sunburned, 1.-the as Q tomboy sn her small black boots and white apron, had interrupted, tempestu- ously, But Margits 20, and I'm Mlmost i8, and it's really not so mueh work, and anyway, Morten- een'a farm is only half c mile across the valley, and he could sec Co 1t We were safe."
 The farmer had limped over to ehein ct the table ins the kitchen and taken long look at both Of ehefi, at his daughter, with her eleaming black hair, plated in pigtails at the sides, and the slow shy smile on her round face, and slender in the red bodice, with her hair yellow as wax in the sun, EEh, StenSgard," he had thought, Ssyou must teach your girl every. hhing Isn't that easy"

smart She struck out for the gold camps and
pulled up IN Nevada City. not far from Grass Val
ley, where Lola Montez was knocking the boys
loose from their nuggets and their hearts. The
trenchwoman opened up a place and began digging
her gold with "twenty-one game. For a while
she raked II IN faster than the men were in the
dlggngs
But women like her were as bad as the men for
pulling stakes and hitting the trail whenever they
heard Of a strike. SO Virginia City got her
when the rush TO Washoe started About that time
Madame Moustache began hitting the bottle pretty
steady. And "tWenty-One wasn't the only game
she played either Her places got to be like all the
others
From Virginia City she bazed her trail to most
OF the frontier camps as soon as they opened up.
She hung out her sign in Alder Gulch, Montana,
when it was having its man for breakfast every
morning | crossed her trail there and again in
Cheyenne and later in DeadWood. She was losing
her beauty with the years and the pace but she
wasn't all bad
There was one time when a bunch Of young fell
lows rolled in 10 Bannack< Montana, peddling a wa
gon-load Of farm truck Madame Moustache bought
a stock of provisions.
Come on in, boys an get drink she told
them
They were just kids. It was the first time any
OF them had been in a place like hers They took
in the bar eyed the sober-faced men at the gam
bling tables snlckered over their glasses of VINE.
Some of the girls trooped down from upstairs.
The boys had their pockets full Of butter-and-egg

you off TO her. She was poker player and a
crackerIack at 1t. too. She was smart enough to
know that hard drinking and gambling for high
stakes didn't make a paying combination she
kepther eye the cards and let the other players
do the elbOw-bendlng. But don't remember ever
seeing Poker Alice when she wasn't chewing and
putting long black cigar. She stuck 10 her
gambling and steered clear Of the dancchals
The FIRST time met her was in Scooptown
town IN the Black Hills that later changed its name
to Sturgis
Poker Alice always was a sort Of mystery
woman Of the bad lands She didn't have anything
to do with the other women in the camps and her
only dealing with men was across the card table.
except for Grasshopper Jim a fellow she lived
with
- Most of the time l knew her she was working
z ne OF the gambling houses in DeadWood, play
~ poker or dealing faro, playing them close to
her chm and smoking her cigar. She outlasted
most of the old-timers, living TO be nearly eighty
years old before she died at Rapid City, South Da
kota.
Madame Moustache a Frenchwoman was
another famous character who cut sWath through
the old frontier camps.
When she was young she was a beauty with
shining black hair. red lips and PAIR of eyes that
spanked like the Big Upper on d Wyoming Winter
night The only thing that spoiled her good looks
was a little fringe of fuzz on her upper lip reckon
you wouldn't have noticed 1t IT hadn't been black
Anyway that's how she got her name The older
she got the bigger the moustache grew

money and looked like pickins Just ready to fall
off the vine.
HI, yuh sugar" One of the girls sided rp
ana slipped an arm around the biggest boys neck
ne KID face turned the color of one Of his own
pcets he spilled his wine and backed away too
plagued to say word. His companions were get
ung the same rush from the other gals and they
all backed toward the door getting ready to run
when Madame Moustache spotted the play
=, hey you she yelled. Git away from them
fellers an let EN- be-"
The gals scattered like a covey of flushed
prairie chickens.
Now git at that piano an sing some nice
songs, If you remember any. You'll show them fell
lers good time, but it won't be your regular tune
We'll, the girls performed all right Yes sir
they put on entertainment fit for Sunday
School picnic, but reckon the boys still were
little puzzled about the ways of wild women when
they Int the trail for home that night
Madame Moustache struck Bodie in its boom
days, but she wasn't spring fry any longer She
had to take back seat to the younger gals
| reckon playing second-fiddle after all the
years she had been head lady was too much for her
She d been the belle of the barrooms too long. So
nobody was much surprised when they found her
dead one morning with empty poison bottle be-
side her.
TNHERE was a woman of another stripe who
Il made name for herself in that country in
different sort of way She was Alice Sterling.
miners daughter and straight as a string She
lived with her father in little mining camp near
WHISKY Flat IN California
Two brothers, Fred and John Stewart moved
into the diggngs, staked out a claim and started to
work. Fred was good-ooking fellow and it wasn't
long before he and Alice took a shine to each
other
After counting the girl for while Fred popped
the question and they set day for the wedding
Alces kind was pretty hard to find in those DAYS
And Fred was hard worker, too so both of them
were Just as happy as pair of meadow larks over
the plans they were making OF course, Fred
didn't sprout any wings. He could take it straight
and neat as the saying goes and could protect his
stack IN game of monte or poker with the4 best
of them
A few nights before the wedding he set out for
an evening with the boys and wandered into
saloon where poker game was in full swing. There
was pretty tough customer IN the game gam
bier by the name of Bill Hammond Everybody
knew Hammond was tricky hand with the cards
but that was a chance you took IN any gambling
game and 1t didn't keep many of Us out 1t didn't
keep Fred out that night either.
The game was going against Fred Every
time he held good hand and raised, Hammond
would top him with a better. Fred glued his eyes
on Hammonds hands when the next play came
up. He bet, Hammond called Again the cards in
the gambler hands were high and he reached out
to pull in the stack.
Not this time, Hammond Fred grabbed the
pot "Yuhre stealth that an yuh're not gittin
away with it
The gambler leaned hack IN his chair and nulIod

his hands slowly TO the edge of the table
Stewart, you're calm me thief No man"
"Yuh re damn right am. l saw yuh flip that
card"
Hammond hand dropped to his belt pistol
roared across the table Stewart slumped back
dead
The killer ran to his horse and was miles away
before the camp knew what had happened John
Stewart hit the trail after him at the head of
a posse of five men determined to avenge his
brothers killing
There were no tears in Alice Sterlng's eyes
Women in those days didn't go in much for weep
ing. But there was plenty of bitterness in her
heart as she watched the group of miners lower
the body OF the man she was to marry into his
grave.
The woman part Of her nature cropped out in
the days that followed. Each morning she would
slip up the canyon where the wild flowers were
thckest. When she came back her arms were al
ways loaded with golden peoples and white daisies
She kept her sweethearts grave covered with
blooms | reckon Alice had some talks with her
self every time she knet to spread out the flowers
but they were words that no other living person
heard
One day few weeks after the killing four
members of the posse rode back TO camp Alice was
the first TO meet them but she didn't say anything
NO Alice, didn't get him., one of the men
