MAT'S HUSBAM ) .
She doubtless hatl a woman's reason
for marrying him. That kind of reason
may not satisfy other people , but it is in-
varitibly suiSScien'c for the feminine rea-
soner.
Sam Toms was what is called "wuth-
less" by his Texan neighbors. Old Bill
Bunn , his father-in-law , hiuibelf not a
very energetic or useful citizen , used to
sit on the steps at the crossroads store
and publicly bswail his sad lot in having
Sam for a member of his family. Bill
had a dramatic style of delivery that
was very fetching , and invariably im
pressed strangers as being very much in
earnest.
Ho would sit on the steps , silently
chewing an enormous mouthful of to
bacco and apparently listening to the
conversation of his coloafers. If Sam'o
name was mentioned he would give vent
to four or five little falsetto squeaks ,
which found egress through his nose ;
then ho would draw in a long breath ,
puff out his fat cheeks , purse his mouth ,
and give u heavy , whistling sigh ; this
would ba followed by a large quantitj'
of tobacco juice , carefully aimed at
some object in the vicinity. These pre
liminaries accomplished , Bill would rise
to his feet , thrust one fat , dirty hand
into his shirt front , wave the other in a ,
sweeping gesture as he lowered his eyes
and rolled his head sadly from side to
side , and deliver himself profoundly aft
er the following fashion :
"Ah hum ! That Sam Toms is tfi'
laziest , mos' shif'less , o'nery , triflin cuss
I ever seed an yero I've done got 'im
fr a son-'u-lawr. Hm-hm-hm ! " Another
whistling sigh would close this perora
tion , and old Bill would resume his seat ,
still shaking his head sorrowfully.
And Bill was more than half right.
Nominally Sam was a cowboy , but
most of the time he would tell you ho
Avas "Jos' layin off a spell , t' rest up like. "
He had always been just so distin
guished for laziness in an easy going
community and nobody expected him
over to be otherwise , and. it puzzled people
ple immensely when energetic , capable
Mattie Bunn accepted him for "reg'lar
comp'ny , ' ' to say nothing of the sensa
tion created by their wedding.
Mat , as has been suggested , probably
had some reason for marrying Sam , but
it is quite certain that she never told
any one what that reason was. Sam
was tall and big , and handsome in his
careless , slouchy way ; he had always
managed , no one knew how , to wear
good clothes too. These facts and his
perennial good nature and friendly
ways were the only points in his favor.
Against him "were the" points so forcibly
taken by his father-in-law , and also that
he got drunk whenever he could possi
bly do so , aud was morally so weak that
any one could easily lead him astray.
How Mat and Sam got along no one
but Mat knew. Once in a great while
Sam would do some work and earn n
few dollars. If he got home with it
without stopping at the saloon , well and
good. But oftener than not he would
"drap in jes' t' take a nip 'r two , " and
that would settle it. At such times he
would stay and buy drinks for every
body present while his money lasted.
Then he would come home in a maudlin ,
tearful state of intoxication , and invent
some tale to account for his condition
and the disappearance of his money ,
winding up with the promise never to
let it happen again.
And Mat would pretend that she be
lieved him , and would stroke his curly
head until he fell asleep. Then sha
would look at the handsome scamp for
a few minutes with love unutterable in
her eyes the tired eyes back of which
were a world of unshed tears. But she
never complained not the first word ;
the firm set mouth and weary look
might indicate ever so much , but her
lips never expressed it. And Sam grad
ually grew more and more useless and
shiftless , trusting to his wife's ready wit
and fertility of resource to carry them
both over the bad places.
There were lots of bad places too.
Twice Sain ran into debt several dollars
at the saloon and Mat found some means
to pay the debts only herself knew
how. But the second time she informed
the saloon man that he must trust Sam
no more. And , besides these things , to
live how did they do it ? Nobody could
guess. Perhaps even Mat herself could
not have told , yet live they did or rather
existed and for the most part kept out
of , debt.
Sam sometimes worked , but never for
very long. He always found some ex
cuse for leaving a place within a few
days. He could almost always find an
other job easily enough , for he was an
excellent "hand" when he chose to be ,
but he did not hasten about finding a
new job when he had given one up ; not
until they were reduced to the very last
straits could Mat get him to hunting
work again.
One day Sam left home for a ranch
about thirty-five miles distant , where he
had heard they wanted help. Two days
passed three four five and no word
came from him. Mat was not a little
worried , although Sam had often been
away for two weeks at a time without
sending word to her. JBut this time it
was different ; there was no excuse for
his not sending a message , as the stage
came by the ranch he had gone to three
times a week. If he had found work
'there , 'as he expected , he could easily
have notified her. So , late in the after
noon of the fift" fi y' she threw her
Bhawl over' her head and went down f
her father's to find i ! they had heard
Bnythiug of Sam.
The old fellow was standing in the
doorway talking to a couple of strangers.
"No , " he was saying , "they hain'fc
be'n no person 'long yer las' few days
but what b'longs yere. Hebbe , though ,
he mout 'a' bo'n seed over yere t' Bacon's.
Ben thar ? No ? Waal , my boy's comin
In f'in thar purty soon , an he c'n tell ye.
Comoin an feed ; Jack'll be yere right
Boon. "
Mat staid to help her mother with
the supper , and during the course of the
meal learned that the two strangers
were officers trailing a horae thief , who
had stolen a valuable horse at a ranch
forty miles east and sold it at Pickett
station , and who was believed to have
come this way.
As she listened to the conversation u
sudden nameless fear came "upon her ,
making her feel ill and faint. As soon
as supper was over she took her shawl
and hurried home.
Somehow she was not surprised to find
the door open. She entered hastily.
Sam was in bed , asleep and breathing
stertorously. He had evidently been
drinking , as his clothes were scattered
about the floor , and Mat , looking out
the back door , could see his pony stand
ing patiently where Sam had left him ,
waiting for some one to come and feed
him.
him.Mat
Mat leaned over the sleeping man and
kissed him gently , her eyes full of love.
Then she turned to pick up his clothes
and put them away. The trousers were
heavy , and something jingled in one of
the pockets. Instinctively Mat thrust
her hand into it and drew it forth , clasp
ing several gold pieces. As she did BO
her eyes opened wide , and she stood as
if stunned for a time , her heart chilled
with the same strange fear that had
stricken her awhile ago and impelled her
to hurry home.
She rushed to the bed and shook Sam
roughly. "Sam ! Sam ! wake up ! " she
almost screamed.
The man turned over and looked at
her stupidly. "H'lo , M-Mat ! Yere , be
ye ? Gimme kiss , " he said in a dull tone.
"Not twell ye tells me whar ye done
got these yero things ! " Mat's voice
sounded broken and shrill.
Sam sat up and rubbed his head , look
ing at her in drunken wonder. "W-w-y ,
them them thar , honey ? "
She shook him fiercely and said in a
lower tone a tone of earnest force :
"Tell me , Sam Toms , whar ye done
got these yere coins ! Quick now ! "
Her tone partially sobered the man ,
whose eyes opened wider as he asked
querulously :
"What 'n hell ye so all fired fussy
'bout ? I hain't done nothin , " and he
laughed in a half drunken , half nervous
way.
"Sam , whar did ye git 'em ? * '
He sat dumbly staring at her.
"Sam" her voice was full of horror
"did you steal that thar hess ? "
No answer ; but Mat saw by his eyes ,
she had guessed the truth. Slowly the
coins fell from her hand to the floor ;
slowly her head bent forward until her
face touched the pillow. For minutes
she did not move not until Sam , who
had been staring at her wonderingly ,
reached out his big hand and laid it
caressingly on her head. Then she sprang
to her feet , her hot eyes glaring and her
form trembling with anger and horror.
She did not speak , but fixed her gaze on
his face for a few seconds. He did not
meet her look , and presently she turned
and ran out of the door.
Sam , almost sober now , called after
her , but she did not answer. He got out
of bed slowly and started to dress him
self. He had almost finished when Mat ,
accompanied by her father and the two
strangers , returned.
"Thar he is an thar's th' money , " she
said , and passed on out through the back
door without looking at Sam.
There was a jail at the crossroads ; ifc
was a primitive affair , but solid and sub
stantial. It was a dugout in the side hill ,
and had a heavy oak door and great steel
hinges and lock. It was plenty strong
enough to hold a dozen men , all anxious
to escape and Sam Toms did not try to
escape. He only sat still in the low ,
damp , darksome room and tried to un
derstand how it all happened.
It must be a drunken dream but , no ,
he was almost sober , and knew where
he was and how and why he was there.
But he could not understand. Had
Mat was it really Mat 'who had given
him up ? There must be some mistake.
* The big , strong man finally began to
realize it all. Ho lay down on the bunk
and cried himself to sleep like a child.
* * * * * *
It must have been about 1 o'clock
in the morning when some one silently
entered the house of old Bill Bunn , con
stable. This some one entered by the
back door , went stealthily into the room
where Bill and his wife slept , rummaged
about a few minutes , and then emerged
from the house. It was a woman , and
she had something in her hand.
Sam Toms was awakened a little af
ter this by a rattling , jarring sound.
He sprang up just as the big oaken
doors swung back and revealed the fig
ures of a woman and two saddle horses.
"I come f'r ye , Sam , " said the woman
with a sob. "I done bring both ponies
an ou' clo'es. Le's go , Sam ; we c'n git
'crost th' rivah befo' mawnin. Come ! "
He clasped her in his arms , and they
clung to each other a little while. Then
Mat said , more steadily :
"Come , Sam. Le's go ovah t' Mexico
an mebbe we c'n. try an do better ovah
thar. "
And they rode forth in the bright , free
moonlight down toward the Kio Grande
into a new and-better life. JR. L.

Among the arrivals by the Oregon and
California train from the north were
Charles D. Brewer and G. Gordon , two
young men who have been for seven and
five years , respectively , isolated on the
ice at faraway Point Barrow , the most
northwesterly tip of the United States
possessions.
They went up originally for the Pacific
Steam Whaling company , but soon after
their arrival set out to hunt whalebone
for themselves. They had a precarious
time of it for several years , and rough
usage in a region so stern that the ther
mometer went down in several instances
to 72 degs. below zero.
Whales were not plentiful , and often
times they thought of abandoning their
pursuit and trying to get a ride out on
eoino one of the occasional vessels to
civilization. They stuck to it , however ,
subsisting on polar bear and reindeer
meat , and clad in double suits of doeskin
clothes.
Now they are glad they stayed over
till this year , for they captured four
whales , secured the bone , and on the ar
rival of the St. Paul , on which they
shipped it , will/realize about $25OOU
from the catch. They came down them
selves on the St. Paul to Nauaiino , and
thence overland.
One of the young men lives in New
Jersey and the other in New York , and
in a few days they will leave to visit
their friends. "It seemed like a good
while when we were up there , " said Mr.
Brewer , "but now the seven years seem
like a very little time. " San Francisco

Curious Homo for a Mouse.
There is a mouse which has made its
abode in a down town house in such a
strange place and it has such regular and
peculiar habits that its vagaries are per
haps worth recording. The ceiling of
the liquor shop is neatly painted , and to
protect it from flies muslin was stretched
across the roof of the room. On one
side of the room are heavy pillars with
Corinthian capitals. The muslin passes
just below these capitals , and it is in one
Ui. L1IC.LU 1/llclU l/UO JJ-IUU3C 11UD U-IUUC J.t3
home. How it ever got there is a mys
tery , and how it has managed to live
through the summer without anything
to drink is a marvel , but that it has
done so is a fact. Its food supply has
been a curious one.
At 8 o'clock every evening the mouse
leaves its sleeping place , and then run
ning about the muslin catches such flies
as have found means of getting between
the ceiling and the muslin , and as these
are fairly numerous the little creature
makes a hearty meal every evening.
But flies are evidently not fattening , for
the mouse is one of the thinnest of its
kind , and though a young one has
hardly grown at all throughout the
summer , and as flies are now happily
getting scarce the animal will probably
b a stunted specimen to the end of its
days. New York Tribune.
The Derby Hat.
If the derby hat is to be crowded out
by the easier and softer styles of head
gear , there won't be much regret over
its going. In spite of its advantages as
a cross between the silk hat and the
slouch , it has never had the merits of
either of those styles. It has always
had the discomforts of the silk hat ,
without ha ring its dash or beauty , and
it has not been much dressier than a
neat soft hat , although it has always
been more uncomfortable.
It is a bad thing for a hot day , and it
isn't much for a cold spell , and heaven
help the man who wears it the morning
after a banquet. The tendency now is
to easy hats , and it ought to be "encour
aged. Men have laughed a great deal
at women's slavery to fashion , but they
have never been able to point to a more
forcible illustration of that slavery than
their own adherence to the derby hat
supplied. Philadelphia Inquirer.
Lord Crowe's Hat.
Lord Crewe , who is in his eighty-
first year , was up to last season a fre

other reasons , for the pertinacity with
which he stuck to his hat. The crush
hat had not been invented when he first
began to go out , and when it appeared
on the scene he felt himself too old to
fall in with the new custom. Accord
ingly he sticks to the unyielding cylin
drical head covering , sometimes known
as a "topper. " ' When the crush was
great every one knew exactly where
abouts Lord Crewe was by observing an
uncompromising top hat held above the
heads of the throng. Manchester ( Eng
