MY FIRST AT HOME.
By SUSAN BROWN BOBBINS ,
We hail worked hard all day moving The
cirpetswero down and moat of the furai-
turo arranged. "We must g t through to-
day. " Te iald that morning , but night waa
coming on and them wail atill ona more
mail load to get.
"Tell you -vhut. " said Frank , aa TB sat
around the kitchen , finishing our picked up
supper , "It's only 3 o'clock , suppoue we

"All right , " said Nat. starting up ener
getically. "I'm ready. But say , what shall
we do about Kate * "
"Oh. I hadn't thought ot her , " and they
looked at mo dubiously.
"I will stay here and rest. " I said. "I
am not afraid to ba left alona. "
In a few minutes they had harnessed the
horse and rattled away. I cleared up our
few < jupp r dinned and then went Into the
front room , which waa all In order , and set
tled myself Iti the most comfortable chair.
It waa something of an experiment our
moving into thia old farm house , and I sat
In the deupunlag duak , laying plans for tha
future. By the time I had made all our
fortunes In several different -nays I began
to wonder why the boys did not return.
I waj not a. bit afraid , but I thought I

The following spring the Iowa Intercol

Rush again apparently walked a-vay with

rapidly along aad to my surprise- turned
late our yard.
"Oh. dear ! " I thought. "If they knock I
fboll have to go to the door. "
I sat thoru waiting and listening for thu
knock , but It did not came. I had Just
given a algh of relief , thinking that aftar
all they had gene on , when I heard a Muund
that made my heart glvo a sudden Jump.
A window In the kitchen was being softly
opened. I hod almost closed the dour when
I eomu in. but through the crack I could

There camu the rattling of stove Kds Just

through the crack. Lalzy waa holding the
lantern and was peering Into the oven ,
while Mis' Snell stood by. looking sbarpi ?

how they've goc it fixed up Uwre. "
"All right. " assented Mia' Snell.
"Those stairs are awful steep. Here , I'll
let you so ahead and carry the lantern. '
I could hear the stain creaking as they
went up. They shut the door behind them ,
so I could not hcnr their vo ces

in the room I had Just left.
'Well , now , this looks kind of homelike.

"Yea. It Is and It's comfortable , too. I'vo

clean forgot there waa a bedroom there. It
ain't a very big one , but anyway let's look

And now I waa la a predicament There
w is ao time to plaa escape. I could only
step behind thu door as they came in. They
set the lantern on the bureau aad then with
their backs toward mo began to Inspect the
window draperies.
I naa flustered and I did not rellect on
the consequences or I never should have
turned out that lantern. I only thought ,
"If it was dark I could escape. " The light
stood temptingly near me. I very softly
stepped toward it , my flnaers clutched the
screw and the deed was done.
I never was ao scared In my life as Iwas
an instant later , when two blood-curdling
shrieks rent the air The maon was Just
rising and shone dimly into the roam. I
could see Lolzy aad Mis' Snell standing
theru howling at me.
I tried to tell them who I was , but
coulda t make myself heard. They kept on
screaming aad with a sudden rush baited
past mo.
The old faded wrapper I bad on looked
white la the moonlizht and as I suddenly
realized that they had taken me for a best
I was seized with an inflatable impulse to
pursue aad forgot all about not wanting to
frighten them.
I ran swiftly into the kitchen , out of the
back door. Into the rood. There they were ,
a abort distance ahead of me. I got near
enough so that I could bear what they were
saying.
"What was that thing , Lolsy ? " gasped
Mia' Snail.
"Well , U ever I saw a O , there It

FOR KILLING JESSE JAMES

He Knew Everythlnit.
George W. Shward is a quiet farmer in
Jackson cotmty. Missouri , now. but it has
not been many years ago since he was i
member of one of the must daring bandit
organizations that ever robbed a train or
defied the authorities of a dozen stated. And
it waa only a. tew yean before that the
eame George Shepard waa riding Mth Quan-
trell as hla most desperate and fearless lieu-
tenaat. Of late tha reformed bundlt , who
is known far and wide aj "One-Eyed
George , ' because of a defect of bis left
eye , the result of one of hla many des
perate skirmishes , has been amusing hla
friends with stories of his early career. One
of Che stories which tha ox-outlaw relates
with thu greatest satisfaction relates to the
t.me Shepard entered into a scheme by
which ha waa to secure the large reward
ottered by thu railroads and express com
panies far the head of Jesse James.
"That waa all a put up job. Tha public
has never known tha truth about that af
fair , so I 11 tell you my sttio of it. ' ob
served Shepani. "A few days after the
Glendale train robbery. Jim Liggett , who
waa county marshal at that time , camu
and mada propoaltiona to mi to capture thu
robbers. At that time the James boys
and I were on good terms , and at flm t
would not listen to anything that would get
ma tangled up in a. difficulty with them.
Liggett instated. Ha said h would make
ma a deputy marshal , and that he thought
wa could make something out of It. I
thought it would bo pretty nice to bo a
deputy marshal , so I told him I would
do It. I went into Kansaa City , and bo-
fora I had been there an hour I met Jesse
James on the street. I told him all about
what Liggett had asked ma to do , and ha
laughed ami said :
" 'You could get tha reward all right If I
wera dead , couldn't you1"
"I told him I thought I could. Well ,
we axed tha scheme that night. Never at
any tlmu hail I Intended to betray the
Jaiaes boys. I went Into the
schema to make all I could out of It.
You can call It a 'skin game , ' if you want
to. but that was my ticket. I want to say
right here that Frank Jamei wan in Ten-
nesaea at the time the Otendalo robbery
occurred.
Now tha story of how I went to Galena ,
met detectives from all over the country ,
posting them aa to the whereabouts of the
gang , going out to the robbers' camp ,
killing' Jesau Jamei by shooting him in the
head for an alleged injury dona a cousin of
mine , the flght with rummlaa. the flight
after having been shot in the left leg ,
has all bnen published time and time again.
That was tha story I told the authorities
in order to get the reward. When I left
Galena after the alleged killing of Jesan
Tom Cleary and Emerson Hayes cam back
to Kansas City with me I immediately
beirun tha negotiations with the railroad
company for my reward. Since the gang
hail supposedly taken the bndy of Jesse
off with them. I found It hard to do any
thing with the people who had agreed to
pay the reward for his body , dead or alive.
I kept dickering with the railroad people
for them to put up a j.1,000 bond to pay
mo the same imount. If I could prove to
them satisfactorily that I had killed Jesae.
They finally did so , and at the same tima
Liggett entered Into contract with me re
lieving him entirely from participation in
thu reward , should I adducn the requisite
evidence. Both these papen were filed In
the recorder's office during the term of
Charles L. Lucas.
Authorities Caally Deceived.
"Tho evidence brought forth included th (
affidavits of Torn Cleary , an old woman ncaj
Galena , and a doctor near Spring River
about four miles from Galena. I never sa-a
any of tha affidavits except deary's. Ht
come to Kansun City with mo to help gel
the reward. Well , one morning Liggeti
came ti > me and said ha hod gotten won ;
that there was some money at the expresi
office for me. and that he would go alans
to identify me. We went to the expresi
office and tha express agent handed out i
largi * batch of greenbacks , and counted mt
out $200. $ Liggirtt said that waa all I wouli
get. I now think that the whola J5,00 (
waa there and intended for me.
"Tha affidavits of the alii woman told how
she had nursed Joase and that he had diet
at her horaa and was taken away by th
gang. Tha doctor11 ? affidavit swore that hi
had examined my lei , that I was shot whilt
on a horse , and that < it was impossible foi
me to have shot myself. Cleary'a affldavtl
told of my coming to hia house after I was
shot , and about having drssaed the wounc
la my leg , etc '
"How about tha fake newspaper article ? '
Shepard waa aaked.
"Well , Liggett did get up some kind of a
fake articla about my being wanted far tht
Glundale robbery It waa Intended that 1
ihould show thia to the boyi and gala theli
confidence , but I never showed that to Jesst
James or any of the boys. I knew exactly
where those fellows were at tha tima 1
went to Galena , but never went after them
I would not have undertaken such a scheme
I was after 'doing' tha railroad out of ttu
reward without engaging in hunting dowt
my friends. It waa all a. 'put up' job froir
beginning to end I kept thaso fellow :
posted all tha time while I was in the office
and waa and am now on friendly term ;
with tha James family Why , old Mrs
Samuels , the mother of Jesse and Frant
James , ate dinner with ma here at tht
plenic today That shows that they nevei
feared that I would do them any dirt. "
When questioned about the shot in hi ;
leg , Shepherd grew immediately Sphlns-liki
and refused to say anything about it. Thai
ho waa shot in the leg at that time no am
who is familiar with him denies. He stil
carries the scar He said "Thera are btr
three people who know how I got wounded
and I am satisfied they will never tell. I an
one of the three. I naver shot myself ,
would say so if it were a fact , aa it woulc
be in keeping with tha purported facts . '
