EARLY DAYS IN THE WEST.
Reminder of One Incident Found ia
Form Of Cross.

Travellers over the dreary stretch of Ne
vada desert traversed by the Central Pacific
railroad come upon the reminder of a sad
little romance near the eastern boundary Of
the Silver state.
In the early twilight of the eastern trip, or
an hour after dawn on the western. it can be
seen, cleaning from the hillside in the form
of a simple wooden cross standing on the
hillside. The cross, says the st. Louis Re-
public, is whitewashed, and the youngest and
most sharp-sighted of the tourists can de-
cipher the legend in black across the hori-
zontal part, "Maiden's Rest"
The cross marks the grave Of two lovely
young women who died in an emigrant camp
before the Central Pacific had united the Fass
and West by its strong bands of steel They
were sisters, Alice and Rose Sewsll. Their
father, hale country grocer was a victim
of that contagion known in 40 as the Cali
fornfa gold fever, and was en- route in
prairie schooner for the gold fields on the
western slope of the Sierras when the girls
sickened and died.
Alice chung to life with a pitiable grasp.
Her lover was one Of the company of Iowa
emigrants, and the young couple had rosy
dreams of the future home in the land beside
the Pacific Wrestling in the throes of fever
she would pray for recovery. She died with
her arms about her lovers neck and with her
prayer for life echotng in his ears. Rose
fingered days afterward until the fever fend
had racked her frame beyond hope but aught
of rest 1t was rest she prayed for as she
was dying, and she found it in the grave be-
side her sister on the sun kissed hill on the
border line of Utah and Nevada. 1t was an
invitation to the red savages of the Western
wilds to mark the graves of the dead In that
later reign Of terror There was nothing,
therefore, but memory as a guide to the rest
ing place when ten years later friend of
the dead girls and their father and the young
man who had sincerely mourned Alice's loss
visited the SPOT again,

get the thing that seems to belong to
each friend, without stopping to think
whether it costs much or little.
But if you go on that theory, you
sccn come to the point when you want
to give no presents at all, to get out OF
the complications" put in the Matron.
"And, besides, your friends might not
appreciate the aesthetic reasons Tor your
choice" suggested the Lady Of Leisure.
1T may sound horrid, but most people
have some sort Of an under-conscious-
ness of the financial value of the pres
ents they receive"

praising NINE" said the Infant cheer
fully. II am going to give little sketch
es and things Of that sort, mostly.
"All very we'll for people who can
make Sketches" protested the Lady OF

present" said the Matron kindly.

on gifts? He says that he only thing
we can give with perfect proprlety is
something we have made ourselves.

Logical One. II believe I'll try 1t some
time, to see which of my friends will re-

But it wouldn't be because they had
no monetary value" urged the Infant
eagerly. ct would only be because
they were not-well, you know
yes" said the Logical One meekly.
1.-The only thing 1 really mind, in con-
nection with giving Christmas presents,
is running up against some one who
keeps a debit and credit account, and
strikes balance" 1t was the Lady of
Leisure who spoke. People who get
nervous and WORKOUT over Christmas
may be poor managers, but the people
who make pay-back presents are
worse"
ooh, they are beneath contempt. We
don't want to know that kind" said the
Enthusiast, gathering up her wraps.
The others rose also.

The Enthusiast had an idea, as was
frequently the case. She hurried
around to the house of the Matron to
talk it over, which was also a frequent
custom of hers. Indeed, so many peo-
rle came to talk things over with the
Matron that that sunny-tempered lady
had been obliged to put new divan
into her chimney corner to take the
wear and tear off the visitations. In
cidentally, it was very decorative. The
Lady Of Leisure was occupying the
divan when the Enthusiast entered,
and they embraced with fervor.
How lovely of you to be here cried
the Enthusiast. Il have a scheme, a
really beautiful scheme, and [ want
to tell you about it,
"Wait a minute" said the Matron.
"The Logical One and the Infant are
coming Up the steps. We viii have
q conference over your scheme and let
you know whether you are to be in
dorsed or voted down."
She wet to the door herself to ad-
NIT the new arrivals, and ushered them
into the parlor with a comprehensive
sweep of her hand.
There is now a quorum present, and
we will proceed with business. The
Enthusiast says she has an idea. I,
for one, am not prepared to believe it
until she proves it, but 1 am dispas-
sionate!y ready to be convinced. Sit
