Then if his bullets fonnd a human, target it was the chances of War: rind if he happened to be captured by us he would he treated as a prisoner Of war. We marched straight for the house, expecting that the bushwhacker had, fled as soon as he fired the shot, but we had not covered over half the distance when a rifle cracked and one of my men dropped with h bulleit in his heart;,The nearest* cover to the house was a stone fence a hundred feet in front of it * and ,a shed-barn about the sam e’ ■distance' from the back door.

Not a shot was fired in return for three jor four, minutes. Then one of my men a t the wall, who had exposed himself, got a bullet in the shoulder rind crawled, away to hide under a-hank of earth. Our bullets soon riddled doors and windows, and must have searched eVery part of the house. We expected to see three or four men dash out and make a run for it, or a white flag to be displayed in token of surrender, but all v^as grimly silent. About ten minutes after my mrin had been shot one of the men a t the shed got his head out too far while shooting and received a bullet in return. I t didn’t kill him, but carried away the right half of liia upper lip and mustache, passed through, his check, carried away four teeth and split his ear, and after a term in the hospital he was discharged and sent home.. That was two killed and two wound­ ed, and all Apparently by the same wea­ pon. We knew i t to be an ordinary rifle by the whip-like crack of its re­ port, bn t there might be three or four men in the house for all we cpuld de­ termine. W« kept blazing away at doors and windows on the chanoe 9 <h it­ ting some one, and from the silence of the next ten minutes I felt confident that we had disabled them. Then I gave the signal far a rush a t tha house. All of ns were up and half way there when A rifle-barrel was poked through A- broken pane and a flash followed. The ball grazed my cheek and struck the nian behind me in the forehead and dropped ldrii dead.

In the ofiice of the superintendent of the street eleaning. bureau in New York there, is a young woman of rare accom­ plishments and self-reliance, the latter trait having been developed, without question, by her experience in the west, wlten that section was far woolier and wilder than it is to-day. The lady is Miss Cynthia VVestover, private secre­ tary to. Superintendent Hans Beattie and his most trusted assistant. Her knowledge of languages enables her to communicate directly with all the labor­ ers employed by the bureau, and her taci brings about the easy settlement of dis­ putes that otherwise would occasion a great deal of friction. Miss AVestovcr’S• father was a professor of geology, and before she was seven years old she ac­ companied a party under the direction of her father on a trip to the itocky mountains. The party was snowbound, and for six months.she went about .on' enow shoes. 1 The strangest incident In her life happened when she was only eleven years old, She was out with her father and a party prospecting near the liocky mountains, ft was her custom to roam,/ about pretty much as she pleased, and, ns many dangers always threatened in this country, she carried a revolver. In the party was a hoy a year or so young­ er than herself, and this little chifil was in the habit of* following her about. One day she strayed with this boy at her heels some distance freiu the point Belectcd by the party for a camp. She stopped to examine a curious bit of earth, and the boy ran on ahead of her. ' AVhen she- rose to follow him she saw an Indian skulking ntong after the boy with a tomahawk in his hand. Site drew her revolver and ran after the In­ dian, who'suddenly raised his toma­ hawk and made a dash for the boy. At the same instant MBs Westover'sre­ volver cracked and the Indian tumbled in his tracks. On another occasion she was out with, a surveying party, and the Indians came upon them and hemmed them in. Tito white men were few in number* and the Indians were many. There was one chance for the party to escape, and tha t was to get word to the Soldiers a t the station, some miles d istant Miss Wcstovcr undertook to perform this perilous task. She mounted her horse, and, leaving the cAnip began going around it itievcr-widenmg circles. The Indians saw a child on a horse ancF thought no more of it, and they did not pay much attention when she dashed* away and disappeared* .She accom­ plished her errand and brought the sol­ diers to the rescue. AVhen Miss Westover’s desire to fake the course in the ColoradR State uni- 1 tersity became known to the cowboys 1ft the section where she was they con­ tributed h pnrsd to aid hefr.

England is agitating itself over oar dowry questiem. Shall or shall not an American maid be turned ovartober husband with naught but “the pres- sents," her trousseau and a flVe-dollar bill for a dowry? Shall she and must she have a certain sum placed upon her head ere she be’ considered eligible for the matrimonial market? When the question of m°°oy #®pi Iri the old American independence idea of true love steps out, and the whole sys­ tem of marriage ftpd giving In marriage becomes 'un-Americariizedl To the orthodtik :: American ifiirid a triObeyed marriage is a nice thing, and when the maiden brings wealth to her husband it is a mighty hide and a mighty bom, fortable thing for all concerned, But to that same orthodox American mind the consideration of money fades Into nothingness when compared with the ■weightier one of love. Unless she were possessed of physical, and intellectual sympathy for the .man >vhom she was About to marry,'our reg­ ulation American girl would feel as if * she had been bought for a p^ice, or bar­ tered' for the dowry which had been set upon her, •■■•.,.,■ , Sooner than place herself voluntarily into such a state of affairs our true-blue girl would skip off in secret with the man of her choice and .work her fingers to the bone to keep the wolf unfl sheriff from the door. * .- .“But couid not trite love and a dowry . travel together?" asked our English ' cousins,.. They could—but they seldom do. Then cupid selects a love-poisoned dart; it is not often that both ends are tipped with. gold. ,, Our English cousins are used to hav­ ing tlieir husbands chosen for them. I t is a matter of church, of fatqily and of state; and should the marriage prove ait impecunious one, the aforementioned trinity of church, family and state arc willing to combine to make the loss good. With us* it is different. We know that we are all born free and; equal, and we one and all reserve the right to mar­ ry according to our sweet will. Should the marriage be less prosperous’and brilliant than had been hoped, the American girl -has the pluck, the grit and the ability to come nobly to her own rescue. It far down in the Intel- i lectual scale she can do manual labor; she can work with the needle, If gifted; she can win plaudits and pay from many sources; and if clever, she can manage in some inconspicuous way to keep the pot bpiling while John is out looking for new sources fromwhich ’ to gather fuel. By all means give the girl a dowry, if the money is in the family. But if it isn’t, give her a good education, a clear conscience, good judgment, and a lov­ ing heart. And the dollars and cents shall be added unto her.—N. Y, World. WOMAN’S ADVANCEMENT. G eokoe W.
