FEMININE PLUCK.
THE ITAL) LUCK OK THREE OUTLAWS
WLLO CARRIEI) OFF A WO.MAM.
! Men arc accustomed Ic look upon wo
men as frail, tender, and without pluck,
hut the bravery and heroism of the fe
male sex, when forced to face the inev
itable, shine forth in instances which
men may have equaled, but never ex
celled.
In Juno, 1778, three ruffians, otic of
whom was a half-breed Indian, rode up
to the pioneer cabin of Henry ('lark,
situated near the State line between
Kansas and Nebraska, due north of
Smith Centre, and oil the batik of the
Republican River. It was about 10
o'clock in thu forenoon, and Clark wris
in Murysviile, Kansas,on business,leav
ing the wife, who was a robust woman
of twenty-five, alone on the place. Hos
pitality is the rule jf the West, and
when the men asked for btcakfust she
c( uld not well refuse, although she made
up lior mind at first glance that they
were, bad men. They said they wore
looking for sioek, and seemed to be pos
ted as to Clark's absence. All were
heavily armed and tode good horses.
While Mrs. Clark was very much frigh
tened and anuoyed at their presence,she
made a j retenecof being eool and brave
and this probably put the o'lmax off for
souie tioi3. She prepared a good break
fast, and the men sat down to oat, but
it was easy to see that they were not
hungry. They only made a prcteuic of j
eating, and when they got up two of
theni seised her and lushed her out of
doors »nd the third, who had already
mouuted, received her on his saddle.
In speaking of this act, Mrs Clark ex
plains :
•1 had been expecting just such a
move, and was in a measure prepared
for it. Wo had no neighbor nearer than
three miles, and I fell that only in be
ing taken away from the house was there
any chaucc ot rcscuo from their clutch
es Men wore constantly riding over
tho country looking for laud or stray
stock, and I had strong hopes of meet
ing sonic party before we had gone far.
Therefore when they seized me I made j
but little resistance, and, apparently to
their great surprise, 1 did not scream
nor faint."
Tho men rode off at a gallop up the
river, skirtiug the edges of the timber,
and in three quarters of an hour reach
ed a cabin which had been abandoned
in the spring by a family named Miller.
The settlor's wifo had died, and he had
removed to Rod Cloud. The cabin was |
a small and snug affair, haying a heavy ;
door with a bar to it, and two windows
provided with almost bullct-prool iuside !
shutters. The men rode straight to the
cabin and dismounted, Mrs. Clark being
assisted off the saddle beforo tho man j
who rode the horse with her got down.
As she struck the ground sho giabbed I
for the but of a revolver which stuck
out of tho holster of tbo man who help
ed her down, and what happened in tho j
next two or three minutes she rcla'.cs j
herself:
"I was and am a fair shot with rifle i
or revolwr I first seized the weapon j
with the idea of committing suicide, but
c' anged my mind in an instant, pulied '
up the hammer, and shot the mau in I
i the leg before he had taken his hands !
| off mo. Then I darted for the cabin,
| carrying tho smoking weapon in my
i hand. The half-open door was only ten :
| feet away, and I was in.-i'le and had the |
| door bar in place in a few second-!. In- j
! deed, Iho man whom 1 had wounded had i
! scarcely cried out. before I was in the
| house. My action was so sudden and !
I unexpected that not a hand was streteh- ;
jed out to stop inc. Fortunately for me, '
: the bar stood on end just behind the I
door, and as 1 slipfed it into placu 1 felt '
that I had been saved. Two or three I
years of pioneer life gives a woman I
courage and confidence, and I knew I i
had disabled one of the men and had !
five bullets left for the other two."
The wounded man rffn «fcul- :
let in the left leg just at the KIICC, and ;
made a serious matter ofit. He fell to
the ground and cursed and groaned IU a !
terrible way, and vowed that the woman '
should be burnctl alive at the stake to
pay for his injury. His companions
were at first iuclined to ridicule him and
to admiie the pluck of the woman, but.
i when they realized that he would prob
ably lose his limb, and that the trio hail
a peck of trouble on hand, their anger
became frightful. Tliey made a rush
for the door, evidently expecting to eas
ily lay bauds on the woman und drag
hoi out, but tliey found it barred. When
they turned to the wiudows they found
them also Well secured. It became
plain to them that she meant determined
resistance, and iliey gave up their efforts
and retired to consult. Froin what Mrs.
Clark overboard she was convinced that
the two men waited to help the wound
ed one off and leave a*, once, but he ob
stinately refused to move an inch until
he had beon revenged on the woman,
lie called their atten'ion to tho fact that
it was a lonely neighborhood, not likely
to be visited by any strangers before
night, and that they should batter in
the door aud seouro their victim. When
they referred to his wound as evidence
of her bravery, he fiercely shouted :
"It was an accidental shot. She's
got my revolver, but she won't dure fire
it to save her life. Oct a log and burst
in that door."
The men hunted about until they
found a large limb which haft h en trim
mcd tip, and they seized this aud made
a rush for tho door. The woman kucw
just what they were preparing for, and
she softly unbolted ono of the blinds
and swung it back until she could sec
them. Ono of the panes of glass was
go. e and she rested the revolver iu this
openiog, took deliberate aim at tho man
nearest her, and when sho pulled the
trigger ho fell down and expired with
scarcely a hick, having been shot
through tho heart. The other immedi
ately ran away, but took a circuit and
came back to the wounded man. Then
the cursing, raving and storming were
renewed, and the wounded man prop
ped himself up and emptied tho con- '
j tents of his Winchester and his revolver
into tho door and window blind. Mrs. j
Clark had warning, and she sat down nu
the floor iu a corner. Some of the bul
| lets fell inside, but sho was in a safe
j placo. When tho wounded outlaw had
| exhausted his ammunition lie called up
on his companion to beat the door in
with a rock lying near by, and threaten
ed him with death if he did not. Mrs.
Clark was looking out of the window,
and she says :
"The man was thoroughly afraid of
me, more so than of his friend, and ho
refused to obey, saying there had been
nonsense enough, and lie would now
help tho other way. He stood looking
toward the cabin as he talked, aud I »aw
the wounded man slip a cartridge into |
his revolver and raise the weapon and
fire. Tho bullet was meant to kill, but j
it did not even wound, and tho uian
turned, drew his own weapon, und fired
tliteo bullets into the would-be assas
sin's body, causing his death in a min
ute or two. He did not go near the
body, but waved Ins hand to tnc as a
| token that I was not to be disturbed,
| and then got the horses together, strap-
I ped the rifles to the saddles, and rodo
away as hard as he oould go."
The woman soon left the eabiu and
took her way homeward, but was mot by
j her husband and three catlln hunters
| about a mile away. The threo latter
I pursued tho fugitive for niiltjj, securing
| two of the horses, and exchanging sever
al shots, but he finally got safely away.

THE SENSATIONS OF THE
DYING.
It is doubtlesn llie ease that in many
instances—and perhaps they are the
majority —dying pontons lapse gradually
j into an unconsciousness that ends their
' bodily pain, ami saves them t'roiu tho
anguish of the final parting with thoso
j they leave behind. It is not un.-ommon,
J however, for clearness of comprehension
)to persist to tho last, and perhaps it is
I still more common for sonio of the spc-
I cial senses to preserve there activity.
We think it was Ernest Wagner who,
'in bit "General I'ithology," dwelt par
I t icularly ou the preservation of the sense
|of hearing in many cases long after the
' apparent occurrence of unconsciousness,
! and who tenderly cautioned his readers
tlut this possibility could be borne in
mind. The following touching account
of the late Dr. Wilson Fox's last mo
jients when his friend Dr. J. Russell
Reynolds was at his bedside, is given in
the Lancet's obituary : "On the next
morning when obviously and consciously
dying, and after his eyes had been fixed
for a few minutes on the angle of the
room and some gray streaks of dawn
were catering, it, he said suddenly
"There is a great light, a glare of liglil,
* * * I feel so strange * * * a glara
of light. What is i', Reynolds V The
reply was : 'lt is the peace of God.'
110 grasped his friend's hand firmly and
said, 'God bless you."—New York

THE HOME OFTITK BRIGHTEST
YELLOW LEAF
Away lip among tho rocky cliffs of
the Alleghany mouutains in Western !
North Carolina arc stuck here and there- j
rough cabins—tho home of the rough 1
naturcd, but brave and whole souled
uioU'jtaiuoors. Around these cabins are
little patches of cultivated laud where
tho native usually grows his '-crap of
tobacker." This tobacco when proper
ly cared far, and seen on the market is
noted for the fineness and silkiness of its
I texture and always commands the lngh-
I est prices.
The home of this leaf is peculiar to
its growth. The elevation is frequently
3,000 feet above the level of the sea,
i and the plant grows free from all taints
jof atmospheric trouble. It expands bo
il noatli the rays of most grateful sunshine,
and is sweetened and flavored by the
aromatic dews of these high latitudes.
No wonder that its texture is fine. It
does not grow large but wnat it loses in
size it gains in delicious quality. The
mountaineer eut, it in the yellow Au
tumn, dries it iu the sunshine, or in a
rough built barn, and then he begins to
use the yellow leaves for his own pur- j
poses. What he has left above his own |
j needs comes for sale to our Eastern
i ivaichouses, but rarely ever brings its i
| full value for people rarely known its ,
i real worth.— Southern Tuborco Journal.
