Bor a time there was gun law only; then Judge Lynch stepped in and improved things somewhat. Shooting was re duced to a few. These few killed one another or were killed by some one else, except Arizona Joe, who came from the worst territory on the conti- nent of America. Jue was left like a noxious weed in a garden and had be- come altogether undesirable. Perhaps a deep rooted stump in a clearing would be a better simile, for a weed is easily dug up, while a stump clings tightly to the soil. At any rate, to get rid of Joe, though necessary to the further development of Arlington, was a hard proposition. indeed, it was the consensus of opinion that he might be allowed to remain since all of bis kind except himself having been killed there would be no further food for his powder. But Joe took it upon himself to shoot strangers who came to town. and this was not only immoral, but in- terfered with the mercantile prosperity of its citizens. Prominent men of the town held a | meeting and agreed eacb to pull a num- ber from a bat—one, twe. three, etc.— be drawing one to try to kill Joe and, | if he failed. to be followed by the rest |in order of number till a dozen bad been killed or Joe got rid et. But their wives objected und convened for the purpose of taking the matter into their own hands. Mrs. Dowly arose and said: “Ladies, you all know that there's only one way for a woman to get the bulge op a man—that’s to marry bim. Tl engage to hire a woman who will teme Arizona Joe. She came to these parts ten years ago—from jail, | reck- on—and has had seven husbands in toe meantime. The first got drowned while they was crossin’ a bridge to gether disputin’ over a counterfeit bill. When she got tired-of the second she set a vigilance committee on bim, and be dangled at the limb of a tree. The third sbe shot in the back while be was windin' the clock. The fourth”— “Never mind any more of these in teresting fac’s.” interrupted one of the ladies. “How much money would be required?” “L reckon $200 would be ample com- pensation. Mrs. Vendig—that’s her last name—could be got for that, and I propose to work it by makin’ a match between her and Joe. If we can do it we'll haye no more trouble with him, TI assure you.” “What makes yoo think he’ll marry ter?” ant : “Becanse she’s good Jookin’ and bas a, winnin® way witb ber. You know how it is yourself. A woman can soft solder. a- man mighty fine till she’s married to him and give him the lash after the ceremony has been per formed.” The money was raised and Mrs. Ven- dig’s services engaged. She came to town. met Joe on the street, smiled at him Delilab-like, and he fell into the trap. The secret was known to every- body in town except the victim. Three days after the meeting Mrs. Vendig became:.Mrs. Joe—no other name was required by the simple marriage cere mony used, which was a Scotch mu- tual pledge without witnesses—and the two set ap housekeeping in the cabin Joe had previously occupied alone. During the evening of the nuptials sounds were heard to emanate from their cabin denoting a family jar. The neighbors came to their doors or put their heads out of the windows to watch for what might happen. The sounds grew louder and fiercer and deeper and shriller, and presently the door was opened, a body was thrown out and the door slammed to and bolt- ed Mrs. Joe bad been ejected. ing, shrieking. Joe was obliged to ten to epithet after epithet spoken in tone that would make the blood of stoutest man curdie and by vigorous kicks on the door: peace of the town was disturbed, the citizens didn’t mind it a bit as the object was accomplished. “Mic came and there was diminution to the howlings, the ings, the epithets. The citizens living near got tired of it and went off to gther parts of the town tosleep. Dawn Qppeared, but there was no cessation of the noise. The sun rose and a sound site the home of the newly wedded couple put his head out of his window and saw Mrs. Joe trying to batter down the door. Then he heard a man’s voice from within cry out: “Go away and I'll come out You can have the outfit.” i What followed was spoken in a er tone, and the man opposite hear.
