the case went over for the term.
In November last, Mrs. Thoma3.

older sister filled the i ositlon for sev-

"AYliat kind. of_ a man is your

“What kind of a man?” she repeat-
ed. "He good man-kind-liked—yes.
He not abuse wilfully ”
l ‘‘So then you think your brother is

do you?”
i I no oonderstan’ how you mean,"
i was the smiling reply, accompanied
by a shake of the dark head. “I not

to say."
I “How did you come to marry and

"I give him both. He stay with me
all that day. And next day he there
too, waiting for mo. 1 run to him

Here the father-in-law, A'an B. Wig-

we did nothing but handle cattle; si>
Frank was used to both rattle and

little bride settled down to live, tho

into a cannon hundreds of feet deep,

dug out from beneath the wreckage
of the long ore train. Then the little
bride went back to her people.
