Men were con ''i.tly riding about the country ""king fo- land or stray stock, nd 1 had strong hopes of meeting some larty before we bad gone far. There fore when they seized ire 1 made but j little resistance, and, apparently to ! ; their great surprise, I did not scream i nor faint." The men rode off at a gallop up the j river, skirting the edges of the tim- j ber,and in three quarters of an j liour reached a cabin which, had j been abandoned in tli3 spring by a j family named Miller. The settler's! wife had died, and lie had removed ! to lied Cloud. The Cabin was a ! small and snug affair, having a heav door with a bar to it, f.n 1 two win dows provided with almost- bullet proof inside shutters. The men rode ttraight to the cabin and dismount ed, Mrs. Clark being assisted off the saddle before the man who rode the horse with her got down. As sbe struck the ground she grabbed for the but of a revolver which stuck out of the holster of the man who helped her down, and what happened in the next two or three minutes .she relates ntrself: "I was and Mil a fair shot with rifle or revolver. I first seized i!. weapon with the idea -jf committing suicide, but changed my mind in nn instant, pulled up the. hammer , a ud shot the man in the leg before he had taken his hands off mC. Then I dt.rl cd for the cabin, carrying the smok ing weai on in my hand. The half open door was only ten feet aivay. and I was inside and had the door I ! oar in place in a lew seconds. In deed, the man whom I have wounded j had scarcely cried out before i -va3 j in the house. My action was so j d.den and unexpee'ed that not a i hand wi'-i stretched out to stop me.

They j madf; a rtish for the door, evidently j expecting to easily lay hands on lie 1 woman and drag her out, hut they found it barred. When they turned !

Mrs. Clark had warning, and she sat down on the floor in a corner. Some of the bullets fell inside, but she was in a safe place. When the wound s ed outlaw had exhausted his ammun ition he called upon his companion to beat the door in with a rock lying near by, and threatened him with death if he did not. Mrs. Clatk was looking out of the window, and she says : 'The man was thoroughly afraiel of me, more so than of hU friend, ond lie refused to obey, raying tli?re had been nonsense enough, nrd he would now ht lp the other way. He stood looking toward the cabin as he t-dk- ed , and I saw the wounded rnnn flij- a cartridge into his revolver and raise the weapon and fire.
