' Velvet .hwnsclf had the shift at
deal when Mud had won the last
ounce in the "bank roll," and as the
lucky player rose from his seat op
posite him the gambler had without
a word shot him through the heart.
The cold fiendishness of the act was
too much for the nerves even of
Fiddlers, and the camp rose to a
man and cried aloud for vengeance.
They were waiting now for the sen
tence.. Long Smith was the judge, lie
occupied a chair placed on a faro ta
ble at one end of the long, narrow
cabin, the identical chair that Vel
vet sat in when he shot Mud. Vel
vet sat a little to his left, a guard
feat eitner side on his right ; the hast
ly enosen jury 01 twelve sat 01
stood, and beyond a rope stretched
across the room was hesilent, ex.
pectant crowd. The eyjdence was
all in, -and Long Smith was settling
himself down into a comfortable
position to listen to counsel for
defense, when Velvet suddenly rose
to his leet ana said
"See here, boysl What's the use
of going on with this monkey busl
ness any longer? I shot Mud, and
you ve determined that I must hang,
Uan t you drop this and take me
out and hang me and be done with
it instead of torturing me with all
this nonsense ? You know-you'reonly
doing it to amuse yourselves." The
eyes of every man in the crowd were
fixed on the prisoner during this
speech, then turned expectantly to
the judge
"Pris'ner et the bar, yer bein'
tried fer murder by the only kin
o' er co't this yer ken try hez. Ef
there's enythin' ye hev ter say yer'll
hev er chance ter say it fnrder on."
There was a murmur of approval
from the audience, and counsel for
the defense went on with his argu
ment, followed by the counsel for
the prosecution. The court .summed
t i i ii - i t;i
up ana cnargea me jury, wmcn
without a moment's hesitation re
turned a verdict of guilty.
The juiln arose from his chair
and said, "velvet, yer gone in,

judicial dignity. It dropped from

shoulders. "Ther boys her giv' ye

Velvet smiled and shook his head,
"You've got the drop on me, I
reckon," he said, "and I can't kick."
Just at this moment there was a
atruffrie as of some one trying to
force an entrance through the crowd
at the door, and the shrill tones of a
woman s voice could be neara ae-
manding access to the court that
was trying the. man who had killed
hers. '
"I'm Mud's wife," she insisted in
n shrill, shaky voice.
"Oh, I know what yer nicknamed
him. His 'n my name's Dobbs, 'n he
were a good nuff man most ways, n
I want ter see the man what killed
him 'n lef me er lone widder rite in
the prime er life." 4
The relict of the late Mud was at
the bar of the court by this time.
She was a tall, angular woman of
forty or so, dressed in rnsty black,
with an immense calico sunbonnet
that projected over her face lfke a
section of stovepipe and effectually
concealed her features. The eyes
were bright and keen, though, and
swept quick glances from prisoner
to judge and jury.
The court ordered a chair for her
inside the bar and when sue mw
seated herself remarked to her:
"We never knowed ef Mud were a
mar'd man, marm. Ef we had we'd
shorly hev waited this trial for ye.
D' ye mean to say verVe gone n

.widow settled comfortably back in

of the surplus cotton crop, occurs In
the north central and northern part of

Commercial Status ot Daraa Wheat.
The new crop, durum wheat, appeurs
to have made an unprecedented record
in this country. From a' production of
100,000 hnshels in 1901 It has leaped to
6,000.000 bushels in 1803. Previous to
1901 It could hardly be sold at eleva
tors and mills at any price and was in
deed seldom grown and in small quan
tities for stock feed only. It is now
mentioned by Cerealist H. A. Carleton
as a striking fact that 6,000,000 bushels
of a grain formerly rejected should be
sold at a fancy price toward the close
of the winter, long before the new sen-
son opens. Most important of all, much

In the demand for the wheat has been
particularly strong in Buffalo and a
few other points in the east, originat

making. In France, the greatest bread

Three Types of the
- Heroine
By Mrs. FRANK LESLIE
3
HE ago of chivalry, which furnished woman's first great.:
opportunity in civilization, developed three types of the j
heroine, which I think
FICATION for the
have followed. ;
The first type is as old as
scandaleuse" in this morning's newspaper. She smiles out in many
guises through tho writings of the old prophets of Israel, in the songs
of Solomon and David.
On Grecian Olympus she wins the prize where wise Minerva fails.
She binds her brows with the fillets of Aspasia, and great Pericles
learns wisdom at her feet. Serpent of old Nile, she subdues the
conquering Caesar and charms the Mars-like Antony to sweet ruin.
On many a throne or behind it she reigns triumphantly through the
ages. And many a modern Antony has paid her the tribute of his
ambition AXO HIS LIFE.
ines of immortality. Condemn her as we will, there she is, forever
flashing hack THE UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT OF HER
SMILE, like Phryne before her judges.
ft
The second type of heroine, THE WARLIKE LADY, can
not be said to appertain especially to any one epoch pf history, though
indeed she is absent from our own. It is not reasonable to suppose
that feminine human nature has changed, especially in a retrogrado
fashion, during these latter centuries. -Despite the traditional ter
ror of a mouse tho physical courage of woman is undoubtedly as
great as it ever was, if indeed tho modern fad for bodily culture has
not tended to AUGMENT it, and her MORAL , courage, as it
has ever been, is proverbial. The timid, fragile, wasp waisted heroine
was merely a fashion of the early part of the last century AND IS
NOW PRACTICALLY EXTINCT.
In these times women simply, find other AND BETTER ways
of being brave. In the wars they minister to the wounded on the
field of battle, or, what is MORE TRYING and heroic still, nurse
them in the hospitals, like Florence Nightingale or Clara Barton.
Such, too, are Grace Darling and Ida Lewis. Mrs. Peary is the first
heroine of arctic exploration, though several of the present genera
tion have penetrated the interior of the dark continent. The wives
of army officers in the far west, farmers' wives in the east, widowed
mothers of large families in our cities and women with no husbands
at all all those furnish examples of BOTH PHYSICAL AND
MORAL courage which are as fine as anything in ancient or mediae
val times, and which are just BEGINNING to emerge in modern
fiction. "
