beautiful 20,000-acre ranch is out
toward the Rio Grande near
Laredo, has been the Peter the
Hermit of the Texans for years.
He has believed that he held Di-

A ROMANCE

He was young. he was fair, and
he parted his hair like the average
beau, in the middle: he was proud.
he was bold-but the truth must
he told-he played like a fiend ON
the fiddle.
Barring this vice he had every
thing nice and his heart was so sor-
rowful and tender. that he always
turned pale when he trod on the
tail of the clt laying down by the
fender.
He clerked in store, and the
way that he tore off calico. jeans
and brown sheeting. wonld have
tickled a calf, and made the brute
laugh, in the face of a quarterly
meeting.
Hu cut quite dash with a dar-
ling moustache, which he learned
70 adore and cherish; for one eiIl
had said, while she dropped her
proud head, that 'twould kill her
to see the thing perish.
On Sunday he'd search the
straight way to the church. unheed-
ing the voice of the scorner; and
demurely he sat, like young tabby
cat, with the saints in the amen
corner.
He sang line a bird, and his sweet
voice was heard. fairly tugging
away at long meter; and we speak
but the truth when we say that this
youth could out-sing hungry
mosquito.
She was young, she was fair. and
she scrambled her hair, like the
average bell of the city; she was
proud but not bold-yet the truth
must be told-the way she chewed
gum was pity.
Barring this vice, she was every
thing nice, and the world admired
her hustle; and the Linwood boys,
being charmed by the noise, walked
u mile to near it rustic.
She cut quite q swell, did this
wax chewing belle, and men focked
in crowds to greet her; but she gave
them the shirk, for she loved the
young clerk who sang like hungry
mosquito.
So she hemmed and hawed, and
she sighed and she chawed, till her
heart and her jaws were broken;
then she walked bv his store, when
he stood at the door, awaiting some
loving token.
She raised up her eyes with mock
surprise, and tried to enact the
scorner; but to tell the truth. she
grinned at the youth who loved the
amen corner.
They met; alas! what came to
pass was sweet, and brief and pre-
cious; they wooed, they cooed, he
talked, she chewed-oh, how she
loved! Good graciousl They had
to part, he rose to start, her grief
can not be painted; these are the
facts-she swallowed the wax, then
she choked. then tainted.
Her pa appeared; her beau, quite
scared, rushed out to get some
water; the Watchdog spied his gen.
tie hide, and bit him where he
hadn't oushter.
The tale is sad, the sequel stern,
so thinks the youth thus bitten; he
sings no more. as of yore-he gave
the girl the mitten.
She pined away, her pretty face
looked slender and detected; her
father kind, but somewhat blind,
beheld her and reflected. His in
come tax he spent for wax-she
smiled and called him clever. She
went to work-forgot the clerk and
chawed In bliss forever.
