Hes going to take the Lily out for an
airing, said another, for that's the same
team she got from the Fashion stables
yesterday, and you can bet your last
nickel that the driver got orders to pick
the cowboy up on his way down to Lang
try's car
The cowboy" as he was called, lolled
back in the Victoria with an air which
said as plainly as words could speak, I'm
putting up for this rig and propose to en-
joy it"
When he was out of sight, an Aha re-
porter, who had heard what was said.
made some inquiries to find out who and
what the cowboy is who has taken the
place once occupied by the immortal Geo
hart. The reporter sooE discovered that
the cowboy has a NAME, though he will
hereafter find but little use for it, now
that his friendship for the Lily has
brought him into prominence as the
Cowboy" His name is H. Oelrichs,
and his native land, England. He is a
brother of the big steamship man of that
name, and doubtless made the acquaint-
ance of the Lily on the other side of the
Atlantic.
He is rich in lands and cattle on the
plains and hills of Wyoming Territory,
and first came into prominence as an APP
pendage of the Lily at Salt Lake, where
he occupied a proscenium box at the
Langtry performance, and attracted gen
eral attention by his open alteration of
Freddie's flame. In appearance and
ann he Is the exact opposite of Freddie.
Freddie is tall but slim, and a fine sample
Of the ADglo-maniac dude. The Cow
boy" is broad and stout, robust in person
and speech, bronze of face, huge of hand,
and looks just what he is-a well to do
cattleman-and his bluff open manner
must be 4 pleasant change to the Lily
after an over dose of Freddie's lackadais-
ical attention. After the Alta reporter
had found out all that could be discovered
of the cowboys antecedents, he concluded
that a drive in the park would be pleasant
recreation, and procuring a team logged
Cliffwards. As he turned into the park
entrance
THE DAsHING VICTORIA wHRLED PAST,
and in it was the cowboy" comfortably
tucked beneath the same robe that kept
the Lily's feet from the fresh morning
breeze.
The Lily and her adorer were engaged
in conversation presumably about the
scrub oaks and frs which abound in that
part of the park, for the Lily's dexter
arm frequently emerged from the seclu-
sion of the lap robe to indicate to which
of the particular specimens Of park arbOr-
i%culture she was referring. When the
Victoria reached the Park lodge, the
cowboy called a halt, and after assist
ing the Lily out of the Victoria, the pair
gave the driver directions to follow them
and strolled off at a good four mile gait
The Lily was dressed in an indiiferently
well fitting green stuff walking dress
which fell two inches short of the ground
and allowed the reporter TO see that
while the Lilv's feet are not out of pro-
portion to her figure, still the stout bal
morals which encased them, at a modest
estimate reached the figure known to
shoemakers as full sevens." For q
short time the Lily leaned upon the
cowboys arm, but the cowboy" no
doubt from his greater experience in the
saddle than afoot, proved a poor
walker, and his gait failing
to accommodate itself to the Lily's swing
ing stride, she dropped his arm and went
it alone. As they walked down the gen
tie grade, admiring the pretty flower beds
and lawns, the Lily's conversation was
quite animated and not ~infreqnently the
cowboy INDUCED in hearty laughter.
They walked around conservatory valley,
and then spent some time admiring the
flowers in the city's glass house, the Lily
paying particular notice to the many rare
specimens of orchids which beauty the
conservatory, and the cowboy looking as
the only vegetation in which he took an
interest was the buffalo grass which fat.

hills.
Several times he tried to get the Lily

the fresh air again. They walked out o.

but in pleading tones, as if in fear tina
her cowboy escort would brandish a 81,

they should take the carriage. He wake

meekly after him, as Ruth might hav
