A Western Romance.

It happened, of course, IN the land of
chivalry and adventure Far West.
She was one of the loveliest and most
accomplished daughters of Cheyenne,
and while enjoying ride through the
fashionable promenade of that energetic
city, her Arab steed suddenly developed
the cussedness of broncho and shied
at the spectacle of handsome youth
leaning contemplatively against lamp
post. The musing Apollo was clad in
picturesque Spanish outfit, and at the
moment was mentally debating what he
would do with his last dollar. The ir-
regular beat of the horse hoofs reused
him abruptly from his reverie, and with
Castilian grace and the agility of
trained matador he sprang forward and
curbed the frightened animal-not in
time, however, to save the beauteous
equestrienne from a fall which harmed
no limb, but broke one of her pearly
teeth. End of chapter one.
The hero of our narrative was deeply
smitten in the cardiac region. The
lovely heroine disappeared from view,
and next day sought dentist to remedy
ber Disagreement. The delicate pearl
that flashed through clips within whose
rosy labyrinth when she smiled the soul
was lost" was hopelessly crushed.
Beauty in distress appealed to art the
knight of the forceps promised tosearch
high and low for a pearl of the proper
size and brilliancy. The search was
made faithfully, but not until the den
tist saw a young Spaniard leaning against
lamp-post did he find the coveted
prize. Whether it was an incisor or a
canine, an eye-tooth or stomach-tooth
that was required, the record fails to
state-nor does it matter much. The
youth gladly sold one of his teeth for
800, offering all his stock in trade for
the same terms. The tooth was sub
mitted to proper treatment, and the
young horsewoman appeared at ball
the following evening apparently none
the worse for the accident. But with
woman's curiosity, she would have given
her head to have known whence came
the tooth. End of chapter two.
Time passed. The Spaniard made a
fortunate purchase of stock with his
500, and not only began to patronize
the tailor but indulged in bank ac-
count. One evening last week chance
threw him into a select little party,
where the fair rider happened to be
present, and herelated his dental adven-
ture. When he smiled and pointed to
the vacant place in his mouth, the
young lady gave little shrek. Her
secret was discovered, and now the
Cheyenne and Denver papers announce
that the Spaniard will get his tooth
back at the altar on the 25th of the
month.

4 RElII.NISCENCE.
Idly read the old familiar score.

Idly l read the old familiar score.
Wistful touch the sweet responsive keys;
l feel the breath of days that are no more
hear the night-wind's whisper in the trees,
This yellowing sheet in every bar and line
Reminds of happiness that once was mine
Each note recalls a roseate vanished hour,
So full of pleasure that its ghost is pain;
Each weird repeat is perfumed like flower
That pressed within an album page hath lain.
Were to sing. a melting baritone.
A voice superb, would surely join my own.
All let me try. The strain is meant for two
/ never practiced it alone before
The wltching melody that was not new
When courting couples trod the polished floor
In grandma's youth the soft arpeggio
Evoked for her the bloom of long ago.
Alas the quick tears blur the words to-day
l had not thought myself so very weak,
What grieving for friend who did not say
llove you, though hesaw ON brow and cheek
Shy tokens of n secret unconfessed,
A tenderness often fear he guessed
lis passing strange what little things may start
4 sleeping world to vivid. waking life,
Within the soul what trifles send dart
To pierce wound concealed what sudden
strife
OF yearning. anger and intense self-scorn,
May of a drifting random thought be born.
I'll fling the fetters of this mood aside.
Last eve l answered yes to one who sought
In manly fashion for his chosen bride
And though my heart to love must yet be
taught,
I'll keep his troth when shall wear his ring /:
But this old song for hm III never sing.

went on, with a half-smiiing, mock
gravity, ''that man can't lock door
on the inside after leaving a room. The
only place of exit is the chimney"
''You establish your mystery" said
Mackenzie lightly. "Where's the mo-
tive for locking ones self in and going
up the chimney? ?"
"Never mind the motive" said the
lawyer, laughing openly. 'Let's in
vestigate the mystery"
So saying he stopped and peered up
the chimney, and withdrew his head so
hastily that he knocked his hat off.
Then it was Mackenzie's turn to laugh,
but there was such a look on the law
yer's face that the laugh found an
abrupt termination.
"What's the matter ?" he asked.
"Look and see," said the lawyer,
gasping and pale.
He looked, and rose after the look
almost as pale as his companion.
"There's a skeleton hanging there,
he said.
cay" said the lawyer, ''and a skele-
ton key to the skeleton keys, 1 fancy.
That seems likely to be true word,
spoken in random jest, when | picked
up these keys"
They stood looking at each other
long time, pale and silent.
'"The few rags there are look ready to
fall to DUST" said Walter, breaking the
silence. He put his stick into the
chimney and moved it slightly, when,
as if there needed only a sign to bring
it down, the whole CHASTITY thing came
tumbling loose into the grateless hearth,
and with the falling bones fell something
with metallic crash. The two recoiled
and, when the smother of woolen dust
had cleared itself away, the lawyer,
advancing, cried, "the motive" and
with the crook of his walking-stick
dragged up small cash-box by the
handle. The key was in the keyhole,
and with wrinkled features of disgust,
and finger and thumb which only just
touched it, he unlocked the box, and
there before them lay eight thousand
pounds, In Bank of England notes, and
on the top of them the paper which
Tiburce Menseau, habitual criminal,
had stolen from one John Jones, a
tramp from Liverpool. There was
nothing by which to identify Tiburce,
but Walter Mackenzie had no doubt of
him, nor had the lawyer, when he heard
the story.

A Story of Farragut.

A newspaper correspondent writes
that Farragut told him that when he
sailed from New York for New Orleans
it was supposed by all the Government
authorities that his plan was to reduce
Forts Jackson and Phillip, below the
city, and that he was forced to take along
for that purpose the gunboats which he
did not want, as he never contemplated
reducing the forts, but intended from
the start to run by them, just as he did,
but that he did not dare disclose that
fact for fear the command would be
given to another. He described to me
in detail the battle from his own stand
point, and he told me that in all his life
he never went into fight without first
going on his knees before his God to ask
His protection in the conflict, and he
added that he thought he had gone
Though more dangers than any other
living man, and had never received a
scratch, except once, when, in the heat
of fight, he noticed that his hat was
off, and putting up his hand for it was
surprised to find that whatever had re-
moved that had taken off the top of his
scalp.

TIED UP.-Whether Admiral Farragut
was or was not lashed to the rigging of
his ship during the battle in Mobile
Bay is not a disputed point in the
mind of Quarter-master Knowles, of
Annapolis, Md, for it was, he says,
none other than himself who drew the
knots that secured him to his lofty
perch. "It was" he relates, "about
10 o'clock on August 5, 1864, in Mobile
Bay, off Fort Morgan. Admiral
Farragut had just come out of the
mizzentop and climbed the rigging
nearly up to the maintop to get above
the smoke of battle. Lieutenant Com
mander Lewis II. Kimberly was ex-
ecutive officer of the Hartford and gave
orders to have the Admiral made fast.
Flag Lieutenant John @. Watson gave
me the orders, and I went mp the rig.
