sis she very beautiful" she asked.
~ think So" he answered. "See,
here is a picture of her. You can see
what she looks like in the moonlight"
She looked at the photograph a long
time.
"Does she always dress like that"
she asked.
"No," he answered laughingly.
s'That is a ball dress-an evening dress.
1t would hardly do for her to 60 out
doors in a dress like that. She might
catch cold. But she is just as p retty in
other dresses; and I love her very
much"
Bess handed back the photograph and
looked for a long time at the yellow
trail. She had to bite her lip to repress
a sigh, but she had been too long alone
and friendless to lose her self-controi.
"Look here" she suddenly asked,
Gff you were to catch these Indians,
would that be what you wanted to do to
be able to get your promotion and marry
har2" i,
asI should say it would, he answered
bitterly. "But that isn't my luck"
"Itisi it isl" she cried, falling upon
her knees by the trail. "See, ] give her
TO you. See there-and there-and
there! Those are pony tracksl See

she had picked up when he was mock
ingly polite. SIT is the lash Of an In

They were in a hurry to get by mere
without being discovered by you, or
they would have stopped to pick it up.
Run, run, l tell you'll I can read the
trail better than you orany of your men.
You can catch them before morning!
Run"
He had started before she had finished,
and was bounding up the trail with long,
athletic strides, leaving her alone on her
knees at the intersection of the trails.
She was still there when the troop
rode silently by with the anxious but
silent young lieutenant at its head. He
bowed to her as he passed, but she did
not see him. After the last pack-mule
had passed out of sight down the valley,
she rose and walked slowly up the noun

has known her Il long time, and he never
saw me before. Besides, she wears silk
dresses and is rich. But that should not
make any difference in love. He kissed

not care for me9 It is queer. She is q

She burst into tears and cried for a
long time as she sat on the yellow trail
at the top of the hill. It was far into
the night when she arose to go. She
. heard, far off in the distance, through
the clear air, the faint popping of car
bines and rifles.

tered, as she made her way uncsBtainIy
to the ranch. "She is a lady and wears

The New York Tribune maintains Sha*
there-has been no revolution in the-pro.
duction Of cotton since Whitney in
vented the gin and took the ssseeding"
of it out of the hands of the old women
and children. Now, however, there is
a prospect OF another great change.
Over 500 machines have been invented
in the last twenty years for picking the
cotton from the boil, and all have failed
to give satisfaction. But still another is
to be tested, and cotton men believe it
will be successful. 1t viii pick, it is
said, 10000 pounds a day. An ordin-
ary field hand a pick of the short
staple about $50 pounds q day, and of
the long staple about $50, SO that the
new machine will do the work of about
forty men. Fifty cents a hundred pounds
is considered fair wages in the cotton
belt. The machine therefore, will earn
$50 d day.
