MARY
SIMMONS
By T. L BURBANK
J
| 1 wns the only unmarried man In
the settlement and I was powerful lone
some. When evenln' come on each
family got under thetr own roof and
sot around the open adobe fireplace*
and was comfortable. 1 didn't have no
fireside aud If I'd got one I'd had to
set by It alone, not ha Tin' any wife or
children. Consequences was 1 was
thlnkln' o' dlggln' out when sumpln
happened to keep me.
1 was rldln' along a road when 1
seen a gal on horseback ahead o' me.
I caught up with her and said. "How
de," and "It's a fine day," and nelgh
I borly things like that She was good
I lookln' and cottoned to me to onct,
' askln' me where 1 come from, where 1
, was golu' and all that I tole her I'd
: come from the settlement and 1 was
| goon arter some bosses that wus need
| ed there and I'd bought 'spectln' to
] make a reasonable profit on 'em.
j Waal, we talked a lot, and 1 got
kind a confidential. I told her that I
was alone In the world and llvln'
| among married people. She allowed It
j was kind a lonesome llvln' alone. I
I axed her If that was her fix and she
' allowed It wss. We got thicker and
thicker, and at last I up and fired a
question at her If she would hitch onter
me and set up a home with me.
| She said It was kind o' suddent but
j wa'n't a bad Idee, and she'd think It
over. She was llvln* with sn aunt on
1 a sheep ranch and was goln' ther?
then. If I'd wait a spell she might
[ decldo to double up. and If she did I'd
' hear from her. When we come to the
j cross roads we separated and 1 went
on and bought my bosses.
| Cooilu' back with a dozen bosses, 1
I brought some men with me. well
armed, for boss thieves was mighty
I thick thereabouts, and I didn't know
I what might bnppen. Sure enough.
when we got to the crossroads, lookln'
, down the road we crossed, we saw a
lot o' men galloplu' toward us. But
> we was too quick for 'em and reached
| a wood before they could git near us,
? and In there we had the advantage
1 over 'em, for we could see 'em and
| they couldn't see ua. So we got our
I bosses away.
The day arter 1 goi dscs .nary diuj
mons, the gal 1 overhauled on the
road, come Into the settlement and
when she found me said she'd been
thlnkln' o' my proposition and was
favorably Inclined to It, but It seemed
onnatural to make up with a man on
such a small acquaintance, and she
Jlst thort that If she could get some
sort of a Job In the settlement for
nwhlle so's we could do some eonrtin'
It would be all right I tote her th?
only thing I knowed there was plenty
of washln', and she said she was a
good washer and Ironer. So I got
board for her at Mrs. Flnnegan's, she
payln' her own board and keepln' In
dependent
There had been so much boss atealln'
goln' on that we concluded to keep all
the hosses in the settlement In one
barn when not usin' 'em, and we
wouldn't keep 'em In any one barn
two nights runnln*. We thort that In
that way we'd keep the thieves from
flndln' Jlst where the hosses was and
they wouldn't know where to go to
get 'em. But one night tbey run In
on us and made straight for the barn
where the bosses was. There hap
pened to be only six hosses In the set
tlement that night but the thieves got
'em all.
There wasn't no more bosses tooken
for ten days, and then we lost anoth
er lot the thieves goln', as before, to
the barn they was In. We knowed
that they knowed where the hosses
was, 'cause none o' the men near any
of the other hosses seen or heered any
thing of 'em. How they'd come to
find out where we kep' the stock no
body could Imagine. There wasn't no
body In the settlement but owned
some stock thelrselves. and they
wasn't likely to give Information to
rustlers about 'em.
I, beln' some'at In the hoss trmdtn'
line and havln' lost some bosses, al
lowed I'd go and get some more. I
seen Mary the night afore 1 went and ,
got her to promise that when I got
back she'd marry me. So I went
away feelln' better'n I'd felt for a long
while.
Waal, I bought my hosses and start
ed back alone with 'em. 'cause I
couldnt get no one to come with me.
I allowed Td sleep In the stable with
'em till the steallo' was over and get
a bead on one on em. When I got
near the crossroads I sor a woman
there, and when I come near her who
shonld It be but my promised bride.
I didn't have time to ask her what
she was doln' there when some men
rode np from different places, and
Mary said to me. motlonln' to one on
fan:
"Allow mo to Introduce my hus
band. "
"And allow me," snld the feller, "to
relieve yon of your hossee."
They tuk the whole lot of 'em, and
Mary rode away with 'em too. I
didn't keer so much for the stock, bnt
to be treated that away by the wom
an I expected to uarry was like plten.
Of course It was Mary. In league
with the thieves, who got word to 'em
Just where the anlmala was kept every
night As I rode on to the settlement
blmeby I begun to get mad. When
I got there I got up a posse to hunt
them rustlers offen the face of the
earth. And I kep' my word. We kill
ed all of 'em but Mary, but 1 mad*
her a widder with my own hand.

Trade At Home
IT it a hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
? mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while At the same time argue against'mail order business
