While {le had met with no adventure wovth recording, he knew that ho was in a sectivn where every man is_expectod to look out for himscld. Therefore, bofore going to sleep, he puthis revol- ver under his pillow and made up his an - cmergency. About midnight the emerge ar- rived, The Wolverine heard some one in his room, and he veasoncd that robbery and murder gould be the only ~exeuse. Out came tho revolver, and he blazed away at o dim figure until e had fired six bulleis, After the last one & voice inquired: “Scoranger, have you got through shootin’?’ **Who is it, and what do you want!"" demanded the traveller. “It’s me,” lied the farmer. *“T'he old woman’s got a toothachie till she can’t vest, and 1 come hoof that finecut toh v remedy, T was jest goin’ to speak when yo Dlazed away with yor pop-zun!” “And I might have killed you!” s, about one chavco in n million.

Tn such a union thero can be ncither dignity or ty. The man's motive is usually & wmorcenary one, and the woman is simply his dupe, The clergyman who f s the mumrisge cercmony that at the altar; the friends who g0 to chureh {o sce them married feel it acutely.
