She is a bright, clieerful, happy, stout tooking woman, who will without questiou be a welcome addition to the far away camp. She can well take care of herself as she is an expert revolver shot, planting on a trial seven off-hand shots into a target of a disk of paper the size of a quarter of a dollar.

J3otu husband and wife hope that hustle and work wilt teil and that they will make the strike of their life.
