A rattlesnake had given her its fatal sting, and the outcast, dreading all men and the coroner not the least, had, silently and alone, buried her on the prairie.

The eyes of the crowd followed the two women reverently as they crossed the square with blood-stained garments.

"Well, old boy, had a good time?" This from stock clerk, from salesman, from the packer, and from the book-keeper. Good time! Great Caesar! Good time!
