Wrinkle in Maverick Branding That

RED BLANKET, UvALDE COUNTY, TEXAS,
jan 29.-ln my journeyings up and down
this great empire of state. during my
sojournings at its frontier towns or lonely
and remote ranches, always seeking, con-
sciously or unconsoiously, for the typical
and characteristic. have met with some
tragedies, some curious and pathetic life
histories and great many funny and
exciting adventures incident to far western
life.
But my latest experience is to be caught
in the delicate filaments of Texas idyl,
enmeshed and, as it were, forcibly detained,
in the character OF chorus-or, more offen-
sively, gooseborry. However, did not
mind the position, and like the little
story. To me it breathes Of the great
prairies, rushing winds, vast herds and
hocks, stirring rides, hearty laughter, and
all the breezy moving life that love 80
much.

her, as undisputed belle OF the whole Dry
Fork country, where she held regal state.
like the cruel princess in the fairy tale. send

after champion despoiled, not of his head,
but his heart. and with several inches taken
off the stature OF his conceit.
The family name was Drake; Teenie was
affectionateiy known among her admirers
as "the duck" the ranch was the duck
pond,n and whenever another unfortunate
went down to worship at her shrine he was
facetiously referred to as having gone duck
hunting.
She was. as a rule, engaged to three or
four Of the best-looking and most promising
young sheepmen Of the region, and carried
things in general with high hand. All
this had predisposed me to think slightly OF
the girl as a poor, shallow creature, trihing
with and rejecting men who were too good
for her, only TO crafty her vanity and love
Of conquest.
But perhaps the thing that prejudiced me
most against her was her failure to fall a
victim to the charms Of Johnnie Sherwood.
Johnnie and are great friends. met
him at balls, where he was the best dancer,
at roundups, where he was the finest rider,
and he camped with our party many a
night. A handsome, black-eyed boy OF "a,

well knit figure, beautiful black hair curling
fat against his round, comely head, glowing
ewes. a satinY cheek, fresh and warm; a
nice, well cut chin, with dimple set little
to one side of it; good mouth, with q
youthful mustache above it, and the finest
white teeth possible.
Face and figure were quite handsome or
dinarily; but when the eyes shone the dim
pie deepened and the white teeth flashed in
the bubbling, mellow, spontaneous laugh
that came 80 naturally from the fine deep
chest, you hastily laid aside all judgment
and surrendered your heart. A
never heard so captivating laugh.

There was virtue, there was piety in it.
lt was sweeter than reason, better than
wisdom. You felt sense Of personal and
affectionate gratitude to hin, as though be

Aud these two were swesthearts once; in
deed, Johnnie had been engaged to Teenie,
''all by himself" when no one else was, and
tho matter was regarded as quite serious.
There was, as might have been expected
between two such heart breakers, a smash (;
mutual recriminations were INDUCED in.

Lady Ennismore had nipped the project
in the bud.
''No, dear, it would not do" she heanswered,
and she sighed, for she knew great deal
more about Helen Drummond's history than
her husband did.
But though she would not give Helen
season in town, she was always very glad to
have the girl at Brackenford. The elder
Miss Drummond, who was a sad and quiet
woman, seldom came, yet she and Lady En-
nismore corresponded ever since Helen
could remember; almost ever since Lady
Ennlsmores own marriage; q year after
which event had occurred the melancholy
tragedy Of her brothers death.
Norman Maldens death was supposed to
be accidental" Such at least was the ver-
dict which was returned by the jury on the
young mans body. after he was found
among the heather with gunshot wound
through his throat. He had gone out with
out keeper, and he never returned His
gun had been caught by some twig, it was
said, and the young owner Of Brackenford
had fallen and died without witness or
help.
So the jury decided, but there were ugly
whispers in the sparsley peopled neighbor-
hood about the fate Of Norman Maiden.
But nothing furthur was ever known. 1t,
however, broke his mothers proud heart,

and left there to sleep by the side of her
young son.
Thus Lady Ennjsmore at once became
possessor of Brackenford, and Of the large
fortune which had belonged to her father
and brother. This, of course, placed her
self and Lord Ennismore in very different
position. The poor Irish peer became rich
man, and the handsome Lady Ennismore
an established beauty and favorite of So
ciety.
Eighteen years had passed since then.
Lady Ennismore was now in her 37th year,
but was as handsome some thought hand
somer) than when as girl>bride she had
first been presented. Yet her daughter was
growing up to womanhood. and the pretty,
rosy child, Helen Drummond (who had
stayed occasionally with her through all
these years at Brackenford), already was a
woman.
Helen was staying at Brackenford when
Lord and Lady Ennismore had made the
acquaintance of Francis Roche in the Lon
don theater. She was staying there wher
they returned, and sheran down with Their
own two daughters to receive them, an6

gagged to be married to Miss Maud Snobberly on

liked her prospective sonin-law.
s'Me and Mr.. Snobberly are both tickled to

Helps to Faith.

This was the subject at the service last
night at the Presbyterian Church. Said
the speaker, when we know the benefit
of we'll settled beliefin Christ, we come
to appreciate everything that will
strengthen that belief In these days it
Is not at all wonderful that our faith in
spiritual things should be tested Other
things are carefully inquired into, and
If they are not what they are represel-
ted to be, they are rejected. Hence, the
Importance of every one strengthening
his belief in the great and important
things of religion. 1t is hardly passible
in these times to be an earnest, devoted
christian without knowledge We must
be able to give reason for our belief, or
be content to have that belief slipping
away from US.
Our belief in other things must be for
titled by knowledge 1t is not wonder
full that our belief in spiritual things
must be strengthened by the knowledge
that comes from the word of God. Hence
a very important help to belief is study
of Gods word 1t is well to know what
the learned have written about the Bible,
but it is of greater Importance that we
should know what the Bible contains for
ourselves. That book is able to make us
wise unto salvation through faith which
Is in Christ Je US. A distinguished min
lister advised another minister to preach
necessarily the doctrine in which he only
half believed. This advice was given in
orderto strengthen his belief in that doc
trine. So we may be advised to study
Gods word, that we may be strengthed
In the belief of the essential doctrines
of our holy religion.
Prayer is another help to faith. Chris
tians have been known to set apart whole
days of fasting and prayer, for the revi-
val and preservation of religion in their
own hearts. Conscience, enlightened by
Gods word aad the holy spirit, is anoth-
er help to faith. 1t tells US that we are
weak, that we are prone to sin, that we
need the pardon and grace which Christ
can bring to US. Attendance upon re-
ligious service is another help to faith.
HIRE the hymns, the prayers, the sermons
and addresses are intended to set forth
the important truths of Gods word All
the services of Gods house are intended
to fortify people in their belief Those
who do not read the Bible, or engage in
prayer, or listen to an enlightened con-
science, or attend upon the. services of
religion are without the faith they need.

tor PETER, of Kansas, lie spoke Of the
many ills and burdens which the farmers
had TO bear,and also dweit at some length
upon the money lenders Of the coualry,
the high rate of interest, and the rene
dy. He advocated the policy OF hber-
al currency system, by the government,
and said he was per cent. man. He
thought it was time that the government
was doing something for the people as
well as for the moneyed kings of the
country; that when there was q stringen
cy in the money msrktt in New York
the Treasurer of the United States was
appealed to fer relief, and soon after
millions of the government bonds were
put on the market forthe benefit of the
money kings of New York to make
from 10 to rs per cent. He thought it
was now time for the people TO call on
the government for relief TO ease their
moneyed condition. Mr. PETER is flu
emit and forcible speaker and was listen
ed TO with the greatest interest, and was
frequently applauded duringl his speech.
He was followed by Prof Conrad, of the
Maryland Agricultural College, in some
practical remarks, interpreted with a
deal of humor. At o'clock the conven-
tion took recess and reassembled at 2
