Its All Fell Through

tleman in Cheyenne, and by the way,
one of our most exemplary and re-
spected ones, got into a conversation
with our reporter about matters and
things in general and finally drifted to
the point where the good looks and
commendable characteristics of two or
three of the Cheyenne young ladies
were alluded to.
"Y GU know Miss -, don't you2n
said the young man, who for the sake
Of convenience we will call Jones.
Reporter-"Well, yes; 1 know her by
sight, that's ALL"
~Jones-"Don't you think she is a
very good and very pretty young lady2"
Reporter-"Why, yes; certainly. 1
am of that opinion"
Jones-"well, see here, 1 suppose
you will go to the -, won't your"
Reporter-"I suppose 1 shall have to
go. OF course these matters have to
be written up"
Jones-"Now there will be a good
opportunity at that time for you to do
me a favor If you will"
Reporter-"Certainly Pm glad to
do any n a favor when 1 can. What
is it?n
Jones-"Well, Ill Just tell you what
it is. You will have to mention the
names of the young ladies, of course,
and-and-I-I I'de like to have you
you-you know, give her a nice little
notice. You see-there's a little-little
understanding between her and"
Reporter-"Yes, yes; L understand
what you mea That's all right. I'll
fix that matter. 1t will only take an
extra twirl or two of the Faber pencil
to give her what will no doubt be a well
deserved little notice."
Our reporter here started to go, but
Jones stopped him and whispering in
his ear said: "Say, you won't mention
this to anybody, will your"
"Oh, no; certainly not" was the re-
ply.
A few days after our 6end met the
same young man again, looking very
sad indeed, when another conversation,
as follows, occurred:
Reporter Hello, Jones What
makes you look so out of tune? Have
you been sickp"
Jones-"Oh, no."
Reporter-"Well, what is the matter
then?"
JoDes-Oh, nothing"
Reporter-''I know better, let's hear
what it isp"
Jones, (hesitating)-"Well, it's moth
ing very much"
Reporter-"Well, tell me what 1t is,
for know there is something upP"
Jones-"Well, ~you-you-know what l

days -
Reporter-''oh, yes, yes; but I've had
no opportunity to -"
Jones-"That amt it, that amt it,

Reporter-"Well, what do you mean.

Jones-"Well, yes, -it's-a-a-about her
to be sure, but it -"
Reporter-"Well, what on earth is

Jones-"Yes, yes; that's all right,
but 1 just wanted to tell you that, that

Reporter-'That what?'n
Jones-"That you needn't mention

Reporter-"Well, well, that's a pretty
how do do. what's the trouble?"
Jones-"Nothing."
Reporter-''There's something the
matter and l know it. Has she -"
Jones-"That's all right, l must CO."
Turning away
Reporter-"Now, see here, Pm bound
to understand this business, and Pm
going right here, for il -"
Jones-"Well, III tell you II you
won't never mention IT,"
Reporter-"Of course not, what is
it?"
Jones-"Well, well, -"
Reporter-"Well."
Jones-"Well, you SEQ"
Reporter-"See, well, go on"
Jones, docking down with the sad
dest look on his face that our reporter
ever saw)-"It's all fell through"
