THE WIVES OF PINE FLAT
(Continued from pare two.)
if the com in* of th<? fair sex and fop
pine the inhabitants of Pine pint. Pete
Wllk't.s v i apfMiufcd a committee of
one to carry out the project mul at
om e opened up a corresponded ce with
a society called the Helping Hand In
an eastern city. and arrangements for
a frst shipment of young wortten who
needed homes were made. If these
reported favors'y on their reception
and the pro*)** ts before them another
shipment was to follow.
The probability Is thnt nil would have
worked well had It not been that cer
tain citizens of the town were ?o [Miffed
r>p with pride at their prospective out
dolus of Pine Fist that they must
needs crow over their rivals before i
their chickens were batched When If :
was learned by those of the Flat that
the Gulchers were going to iwne a
car co of women *ent out from the east
there was a feeling among the latter
tbnt something must l?- done Various
propositions were tn'a.le to see this In
novation and go their rival one l>etter,
but they were either Impracticable or
absurd. One stupid chtirl suggested
that they send for a cirgo of monkeys;
another that a ntimbrr of wax figures
In the show windows of city stores I*
bought up and placed In the windows
of the shanties, suggesting the presence
of a housekeeper.
One suggestion wrs received with a
howl of delight. Aaron Skinner, who
before going to the l*?d hail taught
school, thus spoke to a crowd of hla
fellow citizens who were delating the
question:
"It seems to me." he said. "that by
bb*bbln' the (Itilrher* have given us
an advantage over em What we
want to do Is first to lay onr plan and
Ihen sb<?ot any one of our number we

a lot of feller-" who started a town
thev named Hone .Not f;ir off was
snotber town, the people of which
were colled Sal-lnes The Romans
were as bud off for wnnt of women as
tre or the (lubber* but the 8a bines
had plenty of 'em. The Komans invit
ed the S;iblnc? with thctr wlv^s and
daughters to a blowout, and at a sig
nal the Itomans picked Up lite women
and run em off. Now. what I proj>.?s*
lg to go ont and meet these gals tbnt"?
coming to the tiuicber* hcfjre they
grit to the end ot the Journey and run
'em in here." |
Jfldglnf from (he rties of tpprobt- j
tton t bat met this proposal. the school
master hud touched a responsive chord.
A hundred pistol* were flourished to
shoot any man who Rare the scheme
away. The pmpoaer agreed to (jet
himself posted as to the mute, and
the time of arrival of the women in
the neighborhood, and volunteer* were
forthcoming to watch the territory be- i
tween the Flat and the Gulch to make .
rare that the aecrei was not trans- |
mltted.
Deadhead station? so called from the
fact that no man who boarded a train |
there would pay his fare? was the |
point of Junction between (juartx
Gulch and the railroad. The station '
wbs fifteen miles from the Gulch and
ten miles from the Fiat. The school
master nxk over and learned from the
telegraph operator the day and hour
the women would arrlre. Tbelr train
would reach the station at fl o'clock In
the morning.
At 3 o'clock the same morning; a
company marched from the Klat escort -
Ins several empty wairon* to a station
on the railroad sij miles furl her east
than Deadhead When ihe train drew
up at the platform ? committee pur
porting to be Gnl< hrr? went aboard
the train and politely Invited the la
dles to alight, statluc thai they had
decided to take tl.em off there In
stead of Deadhead The women ln?
mediately gathered I 'eir lielonglngs
and left the train. There were twen
ty of them, and they fiili-d lh:> wagons
that had been brought to carry them
to Hue Flat, whither they were escort
ed by the citizen* of that place.
When the train arrived at Deadhead
without its precious freirht and the ;
flolchers learned how they had been |
tricked their fury was like that of a
raging prairie fire. They held a con- ;
fere nee, at whl"l?-for half an hour all ;
talked at once, thus losing half an hour, j
By the time they were rendy to listen !
to reason It wax evident that their
property wonhl arrive In tbe enemy's
camp long before the Guleher* could
get there and the Flatters would have
abundant time to plan a defense Wll

some swearing Tcngcance on tbe Flat
tcrs, whlie one crus'y old fellow who
bad been married, but bad gone we<t
to escape from a termagant wife, en d
they didn't know when they were well
off.
Wilklns set himself energetically
nljout getting a new shipment, but tbe
r:istem parties who had made the con
signment would do aothing further till
they bad heard from the women who
had already been ?e?t The report*
they mode were at tir*t not reassuring

When this communication was re

were together to hear It re??l. re

'The Gulchera are coming!" Every

enemy the defender* of Pine Flat, or,
rather, of the twenty wives within It,
were drawn up In l>aitle array, and a?

Hut a few had fallen, and they only
wonnded. when the wives ran out and,
rushing In l-etween the hostile lloea,
forced the contestants to cease Bring.
Then they told the men who had com*
for them that they were married, were
already engagwl In l>eautlfy!ng their
homea and that nothing wonld Induce
them to leave their hushanda. The
Otilchers. they said, might aa well go
Imck home, for even If they conquered
the women would not go with them.
Wllklns said he thought he could draw

come out to Quartz Gulch Thla the
ladles agreed to do. and the enemy
marched away. *
In due time another consignment ar
rived ticketed for the Gulchera. and.
fearing another raid upon their proper
ty. the latter marched under cover of
the night to a station where they were
quite siire thej wonld And their yet
unseen wives. But their enemies scorn
el to lie piggish Indeed, tbey had no
need to be. for they had arranged for a
shipment on their own account. Tba

Quartz Gulch and Pine Flat are now
