Black. OF Cheyenne, was much ANNOYED
by the persistence and determination
of sundry suitors for the hand OF his
fair daughter, Miss Helen.
As is always the case in mining dis
tricts, the male population far outnum-
bered the gentler sex, and Miss Helen,
who was a handsome brunette. would
have been a belle among far seyerer
critics than the youths Of Cheyenne,
She had graduated at ST. Louis, and be-
sides being a gifted musician, was a de-
yout worshiper of nature and fond OF
outdoor exercise.
Almost any fine evening in summer
q passer-by might hear her rich mezzo
voice accompanying her guitar to some
ringing Ballad of the Plains"
Unconscious was she of the fact that
the melody loated out from the shad-
ows Of the cottonwood trees and mingled
with the broad, effulgent moonlight
and that many a luckless youth dated a
hopeless love from the first evening
when he had dropped in to help the
sheriff and the old servant in making
an audience.
Miss Helen cared little for the adj
miration OF men, but accepted it as a
matter OF course, having been brought
up among them. She enjoyed herself
in a fashion OF her own, with her books,
guitar, sketch.book and her spirited
horse, Wildfre.
Two of her lovers, however, seemed
TO gain more favor than the rest. In
fact, popular opinion was puzzled as to
which would win.
One of them was a tall, athletic young
Westerner, who was as bright and in
MIGRATING of presence as the air he
%breathed, and in whose clear, blue
eyes not shadow of deceit was visible.
Handsome, for true, but so sturdy and
independent that he impressed one as a
young giant.
He was an ardent g~eologist, could an.
alyze a find as well as an expert,
loved his mountains and worshiped-
Miss Helen,
But with all his devotion Joe was a
discreet young fellow, and held his
curly head up in defiance of mankind
in general and his rival in particular,
and he never let the fair Helen feel too
sure Of her conquest.
The aforesaid rival was a wealthy
young mine-owner from Chicago, all
that is conveyed in the term, "a pol.
ished gentleman" He had laughed
heartily when, OF departing for his new
home, his Chicago friends had iokinrly
that he would lose his heart to some
Western beauty. But here he was,
eager to lay his fate and fortune at the
feet of the sheriff's queenly daughter.
One bright, breezy day in September
Helen cantered of soon after dinner
with her sketching material, ostensibly
10 make some sketches of the autumn
scenery, but really to commune with
nature, the only mother she had ever
known, and to decide what answer sac

shouting to her. and in a few minutes
Joe, on his tough little mustang, was
beside her, He wore a buffalo overcoat.
and threw a large cloak of her own
about her shoulders She did not wait
to ask how he happened to come for
her. She forgot that he was angry and
hurt She reached out her firm, white
hand and caught Joe'S extended fingers,
and side by side the two horses were
urged across the bridge.
They gallopei home in silence, and
when they reached there and Helen
stepped into the friendly shelter Of the
broad veranda, she noted the fact that
Joe led both horses to the stable and
put them up
Half an hour later Joe, arrayed in
Judge Blacks dressing gown and slip
pers ARTICLES brought by Miss Helen
from the East, was explaining 70 the
rosy, demure young mistress Of the
house that her father had been sudden
" called to the next town. and might
not return before early morning. HE
asked me to keep a sort OF lookout over
the place and when l rode over to ask
you TO invite me to tea and found you
gone, l fastened after you"
This speech over, an embarrassed ST.
lence followed. 1t was broken by Joe,
who looked straight at his hostess and
said;
III | am intruding, Miss Nellie, why,
just give the word and I'll ge."
Helen assured him in a constrained
sort Of way that she was glad Of COM
pany, and went out to prepare the little

now, servants were rare and inefficient

After supper, in an awkward pause Of
the conversation, Joe took up a little
,aso from the table and began examin.
ing its ~contentS-a bright new pair Of
land-cuifs.
They were a new kind, Just from the
East, and Helen began explaining the
,pring lock which opened with a skele-
on key.
somehow one OF tile bands was on
1oe's wrist, as she slipped the other
circlet over her firm white hand,
when 10, the lock snapped, and they

Helen blushed crimson and COM

But no key was TO be found. Sudden

which was now a foaming torrent and

away with a look in his blue eyes that
had haunted her ever since.

BACK like a stag at bay, kept looming

A poet sat in a narrow den
Mid a wilderness Of brick.
And he moaned; II loathe these throngs oi

And my weary heart is sick
or the ~city-noisy, dusty, hot;
l long for ONE peaceful scene
Where the waters plaSh from rocky crct,
And wine through meadows green"
He grasped his pen, andhis burning though,
Found utterance free and rife,
And a pathetic lay he wrought
On the Joys OF country life.

Meanwhile amid the new-movn hay
Another to!ler sat;
He wore a flannel shirt Of gray,
And a three.yearold straw hat
And he murmured: oh, this vretched

This dull. fat country liiet

Should plung into the strife
or the city, with its pleasures keen;
'Tis better to wear than TO rust;
