Their three children were small, the youngest being a mere baby. There wae much hunt work to las clone, a large share of which fell upon Mrs. Willard, who wae one of those fruil, ambitious, tireless little women that are so often found among overworked farmers' wires. Besides lief housework she managed the kitchen gar den, did the chorea" and attimea even a aisted her husband in his own work. When he was nway the loncliuesa and nv Bponsibility of her position were uluiost unendurable. Their nearest neiglilior wua seven miles away, and the prairies were bleak, windy uinl cheerless. Occasional parties of Indians addicted to Ijegging and stealing would come by, thus adding fear to her other anxiei ivs. After a year of this life Mrs. Willard's strcngtli so gave way that her husband tried to procure other liousehelp, but there were no females to le hired. Even male help was scarce. Nearly every one whs working for themselves. The country had a linuily way of disposing of vagrants by a local application of the state law against carrying eouce:iIl weaiioria As each tramp usunlly had a pistol or knife hid somewhere alxmt hia person, they would fine him Having no money, hr would be oltiTcd to tiny cue who would agree to pny the county that amount and take his labor in return ut a valuation not cents a day.

So Jess was installed as general assistant and chore lioy, a position ha filled fairly well, though his shy wavs and alsa-n- t manner rut her added to the distrust of his mistress.
