FETTERED.

In Cheyenne's early days lh,
sheriff was one of the most impor
tant perSonages in The country
In fact he still holds a couspicuou
position in most cities Of the Wig
urpus, impelu0u west.
Some years ago Sheriff Black, o.
Cheyenne, was much annoyed by
the persistence, and determine
ton of sundry snitorS for the hand
of his fair daughter, Miss Helen
AS is always the case in mining
diScricis the male population far
oulnumbered the gentler sex, and
Miss Helen, who was a handsome
brunette, would have been a belle
among far severer critics than the
youths OF Cheyenne.
She had graduated at St. Louis,
aud besides beiLg a gifted musl-
clan was a devOut wOrshipper OF
nature and fond of outdoor eXer-
else.
Almost any fine evening in SUM
mer 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 foaied out from
the shadows of the cottonwood
trees and mingled with the broad,
eGulgent moonlight, and that
many Iuckless youth dated a
hopeless love from the fir,t evening
when he had dropped in TO help
The sheriff and the old servant IN
making an audience.
Miss Helen cared little for the
admiration of men, but accepted
il as matter of course, having
been brought up among them. She
enjoyed herself in fashion of her
own, with her books, guitar, sketch
book and her spirited horse, Wild
fire.
Two of her lovers, however,
seemed 10 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 wesierLer, who was as
bright and invigorating of presence
as the air he breathed, and in
whose clear blue eyes not a shad-
Ow Of deceit was visible. Hand
some, for true, but so sturdy and
independent that he impressed
one as a young giant.
He was an ardent geoloeisi could
analize a find" as well as an ex-
pert, loved his mountains aud
worshiped-Miss Helen.
But with all his devotion Joe
was a discreet young felluw, and
held his curly head up in defiance
to mankind in general and 10 his
rival in particular, and he never
let tho fair Helen feel TOO sure OF
her conquest.
The aforesaid rival was a
wealthy young mIne owner from
ChicagO-sii that is conveyed in
The term "a polished gentleman =

ing for his new home in Chicago
friends had jokingly predicted that
he wculd lose his heart TO some

Ever made by the Hand above,
A woman's heart aud woman's hand,
And womans wonderful 'ovei
Do you know yau have asked for this

As child might ask for toy,
Demanding what others have tried to win
With the reckless dash Of boyl
You have written my lesson of duty out,
Man-like you have questioned me,
Now stand at the! bar of my woman soul
Until shall question thee
Yon require your mutton shall always be
hot,
Youp socks and your shirts shall be

require your heart to be true as Gods

Aud pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton and
beef,
require far better thing.
A seamstress you're wanting for stockings
and shirts,

Aud a man that the Maker "God"
Shall look upon as he did the first
And say at Is very good"

From my soft, young checks one day;

came over him, II she loved hin
she would not care so much.
He gazed at the shining fcttel
on her wrist so long and so earn.
estly that Helen lifted her eyes
wonderinSly, but dropped them
again.
What woman ever failed 20 read
the story that she saw in the hon.
est blue depth of her humble
young giants eyes?
Her confusion encouraged Joe.
but there was almost a tremor in
his voice as he laid his great brown
hand over her fettered one and
said softly: "Nell, If you only
loved me | would believe that il
was tate that bound us together.
would take it as an omen that tate
would grant me my dearest wish.
But, Nellie, | dare not hope"
The girl looked up slowly into
her lovers eyes, looked steadily,
though she still saw that look in
them: "Joe," she said, it is fate"
The cool and cultured Mr. Rus
sell would have marveled had he
seen that queenly girl" sobbing
for very JOY on Joe Gordon's
shoulder, and, perhaps, he would
have marveled still more had he
known that at that moment the
thought Of him and his millions
did not once enter her mind.
When the sheriff returned in the
gray of the morning he found an
interesting picture.
The lamp still burned in the
corner and The fire was smOlderlng
away. On the broad lounge by
the fireplace sat Helen and her
lover. She had fallen asleep from
sheer WEAKNESS and Joe sat like a
statue lest he might disturb The
weary sleeper whose cheek was SO
near his own.
The old gentleman's face was a
study. When the truth dawned
upon HIM he flung himselfin into the
nearest chair and laughed until he
walked the echoes--likewlse Miss
Helen.
She was al first bewildered by
her novel position, but soon re-
membered the true situation and
relapsed into silence, leaving Joe
to tell the story.
"And now, sheriff. concluded
he, "you may loose these tetters,
with The understanding that they
will soon be replaced by more ell
during ones. | must not let my
prisoner escape"
IIelen's father had always liked
young Gordon, and his blessing
was forthcoming.
The announcement of the ap-
preaching nuptials gave Mr.. Rus
sell 4 conclusive answer, and he
settled up his affairs in short order
and returned east.
The old sheriff used TO tell with
gusto how Gordon won his per
verse daughter and how gracefully
she wore her fetters after she was
won.
