GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
A CoQuette.


Betrayed his love and woe;
She passed him by
With head held high,
And coldly answered "Noi"
She wandered to the woodland pool,
by wild how'rs all begirt;
She saw her beauty in its depth,
And smied-the pretty hirti
And there the curate told his love,
Though hope was almost dead;
But. though she sighed,
She naught replied
She only shook her head!
She fingered by the broad park gate
The old lord fingered, too;
He sought the maiden for his bride,
And knew. too, how to WOO.
Ana, though he feigned loves sad despair,
Her answer he could guess;
But could not spy
Her triumph high
She smiled, and whispered "Yes!"

An Iowa Diana Creates a Sensation In Wyo-
ming.
A letter from Hot Springs, Wyoming
Territory, to the Charlton Qowa)
Leader relates the following interest
ing adventures of an Iowa girl in that
Western wild: One of your lady resi-
dents is, at this writing. ranked as a
heroine by the natives of this wild, both
whites and Indians. Miss Maggie Fore
man, who came to the mountains, few
days since, to visit relatives has &C
complished feat of which few hunters
can boast. Miss Foreman came to the
springs, which are situated twenty
eight miles above Fort Steele, on the
head waters of the North Platte, with
her sister, to spend few days in the
very heart of the wild country. MIR.
Jim" Adams, noted hunter and scout,
accompanied the party as guide and
general protector. Mr.. Adams was, If
/ am rightly informed, raised in Mount
Pleasant, in your State, and came West
in the early days of the Union Pacific
railroad. Being of an adventurous dis
position, he drifted about among the
military posts and Indian villages, aid
he is to-day one of the most daring and
bravest scouts that ever followed trail
in the Indian country.
But my story. On Tuesday last a
scout from Fort Steele came up with
dispatches for surveying party away
above us in the Medicine Bow mount
aims. Being an old friend and chum of
"Jim," the latter saddled broncho to
accompany him few miles just for
chat. "Jim's" favorite horse was
picketed in the grass near camp, and
Miss Foreman remarked to her sister
who is the wife of Mr.. Adams brother
that the horse was such handsome
one she had great desire to take
ride on him. Her sister replied that she
had often taken gallop on the animal,
and that he was perfectly safe. The
horse was brought in, and the writer
saddled him and assisted Miss Foreman
to mount. She gallcped around the
camp for awhile, and was about to dis
mount when shot was heard about
500 yards up the river, and moment
later an enormous black elk came dash
ing out Of a ravine, with "Jim a short
distance behind in full chase. The elk
was wounded, and yet able to run at
great speed. The writer, in sport only,
handed Miss Foreman large army
Colts revolver, and told her to go and
help catch the enormous animal. Miss
Foreman took the weapon and started
toward the elk, which was but a short
distance away at that moment. And
now began an exciting chase. The
horse was thoroughly trained for such
work by Mr.. Adams, and, as soon as
started upon the trail, dashed forward
with frightful speed. Adams urged
his horse forward in a vain endeavor to
overtake her, but the little broncho
which he bestrode was no match for his
own favorite steed. The elk started for
the mouth of a canon about mile dis
tant, through which j; could reach the
higher mountains. We felt greatly
alarmed for Miss Foreman's safety, be-
ieving that in the excitement of the
chase her horse had become unman-
ageable, until she was seen to fire the re-
volver at the elk, and then we knew
she was after meat Two, three, four
shots were fired, and yet the speed of
the elk was not lessened, but at the fifth
shot it was observed to waver, stagger,
and in moment fall heavily to the
ground. Then Miss Foreman was seen
to halt and fire another shot into the
animal as it lay struggling near the
horses feet.
We hitched up wagon and drove to
the scene, where we found Adams sit
ting upon the body of the fallen mon
arch of the mountains, while Miss Fore
man, flushed and triumphant, stood
near. When we praised her daring,
Adams said: These Iowa girls are
business every time. I'm from Iowa
myself, and / know few of 'em; but
she can't pack off all the praise, for
there amt another horse in the mount
aims could have Rugged up to that elk
like Billy did; eh, old boy?" And he
caressed the noble animal in a most af-
fectionate manner. We had no facili-
ties for weighing the animal, but !" Jim I"
says it will crowd 900 or 1000 pounds
very close. A number of Yuma Jacks
band of Yute Indians, who were
camped near, and who witnessed the
chase, crowded around and gazed upon
the heroine with stares of amazement,
one of them remarking: White squaw
heap brave-ride all same like wind in
storm"
