EIRST WOMAN IN CAMP.

Rocky Mountain News.
Every miner in the camp was excited
and talking about it. Now, it took some
very important event to thoroughly
arouse all the boys along the gulch. A
row in which only one man was killed
was considered very commonplace So
eial event, and an ordinary lynching
did not attract much attention.
What was it?
Why, there was woman in camp and
all was commOtion. 1t was the first great
social event in White Horse Gulch.
The young lady had finished her din
ner and was strolling about the camp
with her uncle, large, fieshy jolly old
man, who was large stOckholder in one
of the principal mines in the gulch. He
had brought his niece, young lady of
20, on trip with him for company and
also to show her something of the wild
and rugged West. 1t had been many a
month since the boys had seen woman,
and hence everybody wanted to meet
her and invite her to partake of the hos
pitalities of White Horse Gulch, for all
the latch strings were out and she would
have been welcomed to the best the rude
mountain cabins afforded.
Now, any woman would have appear
ed handsome. A dried-up old maid
from New England, dieted and preserY-
ed on on-sugared tea for quarter of a
century, would have been considered
handsome and very lovely, for the noun
tain boys are very gallant to women, and
old maids are given fair show every
time.
The boys were all charmed by the pO-
lite manners and handsome face of the
young lady, but there was look of deep
sympathy in the eyes of all when they
saw her. at is too bad" was the pre-
vailing sentiment of all.
What handsome face, pard," ex-
claimed a miner to his friend, "but how
unfortunate"
Some admired her handsome face,
others her beautiful black hair, and 9TH
ers her comely shaped foot, but all pit
led her for her defOrmity.
That evening. after the young lady
had retired, the uncle was chatting with
a number of the miners, and his niece,
of whom the fond uncle was very proud,
became the topic of conversation. FL
nally, one harder than the rest, said it
was pity she was defOrmed. In tones
of sympathy he told the uncle how the
hearts of all the men in White Horse
Gulch had gone out toward him for her
affiiction.
AFFLICTED" shouted the enraged uncle.
afflicted! Why, she is only wearing
one of those blapkety blank bustles."
And everybody replied in a chorus:
"Bustle! Bustle! What's bustle?"
