It was on the old border line of In dian territory, now known 4 s Okla homa. Ujion the following day a new res ervation was to be thrown open to the public. A flag would drop, the rope would be lowered and the mad rush for choice locations would begin. Long since the last of this great mob had left behind them the little border town of Broeton. There had been a traveling circus at Broeton and tt liad reaped a rich harvest. To this aggregation Armstrong belonged. He had engaged with the circus people for tlie season to make an ascent dally In a s.-nall gas balloon. There were hot enough people left ln Broeton to till u row of seats thut afternoon. A ll the hustle and excite ment was transferred to the border land. So Armstrong had come to the scone of confusion nnd expectancy im pelled hy curiosity.

Her first husband was John Hayes, an artillerist ln the American army. While besieged la Fort Clin ton, along with her husband, lo Octiv ber, 1T77, she is said to have dis charged the last gun against the Brit ish wti«>n the enemy began to scnle the walls and her husband had fled Molly's fane rests upon her brave conduct in the battle of Monmouth. In June, 1778. As she was carrying water to ber husband from a neigh boring well a bullet killed him In stantly. She at once took his place at the gun and saved it from falling into the hands of the enemy. After the battle General Greene presented her to Washington, who made her ser geant for her bravery and placed her on the list of half-pay officers for life. She died at her home in Car lisle* on January 22, 1823. A monu ment* on tho Monmouti) battlefield, and one at Carlisle, commemorates her heroic deeds. ’ Coat fiim $500 an Hour Sarah Todd, wife of the original John Jacob A.stor, w&B a Brevoort and the founder of«the Astor family fre quently said she was such a fine busi ness woman he w a s compelled to- con sult her on Important projects.

'\Yes because he ls sure It w ill be a place which the railroad will cross, and* near a town site. I am sure I can readily find the place, for my friend showed me a map. It ls near a grove, a creek and a hill— the only combina tion o f the sort in the reservation.’’ r»nle departed from the home-heart ed group feeling that he had passed one of the most pleasant hours of his life. He could not get brave, winsome Mina Gordon out of his mind. He circulated among all the great crowd of land contestants. Then he inci dentally learned some facts th^t sent liltn straightway back to the old can vas-covered wagon. \ i i l s s Gordon,\ he said quite grave ly, ‘1 fear you are too sanguine as to yrar exclusive knowledge of the pro-> posed’ town site. The Information has leaiod out and has become general, and a large number of pre-empters are arranging to make a break for the fa vored section.\ “ Oh, dear! 1 was so hopeful,” sighed Kina, and Dale sat studying her thoughtfully. Finally he said : ■TkllsS Gordon, don’t think it strange If 3 seem to take a great Interest ln ytm aad your affairs. In fact, tn b measure I feel mutually concerned. I lave decided to take up a quarter sec tion o f land myself. I am going to make a strange proposition to you. M s s Gordon. I wish to accompany yoso ln tbe race for best choice.” D o le glanced at the mother, who -was dozing in the wagon and lowered his voice. As he whispered ln Nina’s eit-r she started, her eyes expressed a rare excitement and wonder. “ Do you dare?” he asked. “ To trust to your skill—oh, yes 1” she declared instantly. \Oh the nov elty o f It ! What a thought 1” “ Then do not disturb or alarm your mother by telling her of the plan,” submitted Dale. “I shall expect you at the circus grounds by six o’clock.” “ I shall surely be there,” promised Nlna.-> ju s t as, at the appointed hour the nerrt morning, the signal was given (or the grand rush for land location, there floated up graceluHy into the alar the circus balloon. There were oaly two aboard— Nina and Dale. I t mattered not how a pre-empter reached a location, so that the restric tions of starting were followed and evidences of first occupation were, ap-' parent.
