THE SANDERS GIRL.

THE SANDERS GIRL.
ut maybe was that romances come
to pass on the range when was thar, :
remarked the old cattleman meditative
ly, ''but, if SO be, never notes 'em
They shorely gets plumb by rle in th1
night"
The old gentleman had just thrown
down daily paper, and even as ht
spoke l read ON the turned page the
glaring headline, "Romance In Real
Life" His recent literature was the
evident cause of his reflections.
"Of course" continued the old cat.
tleman, turning for comfort to his inev.
liable pipe and inching his chair more
and more into the shade of the porch,
of course at seoh epocks as some de-
graded sharp takes to dealin double in q
poker game, or the kyards begins to
como two at clatter at faro bank, the
proceedin's frequent took on what you
all might call hue of romance, an |
admits they was likely to get some hec-
tic myself. But, as | states, for what
one would brand as clean strain ro-
nance amt recallin none"
How about those love affairs of your
YOUTH" I ventured "They must have
existed"
(Which / don't deny" replied the
old gentleman between puffs-"that
back when Pm colt in Tennessee
has my flower scented days. But don't
wed nothin, you notice. An even while
I'm ridin an ropin at these yere young
female persons whom has in my mind
thar's never no romance to it, onless it's
III the fact that they all escapes me, ap
l never do tie one down once.
"Thar was one lady for whom I afore-
time yearns, which, if I'd done played
my hand plumb through, reckon now
l might have reused out a romance or
somethin thrillin. I'd been due to get
up agin Jim Gales gun shore. You sees
this, yere female weds Jim, an I will
say he makes the most restless an s'pi-
cious married man l ever encounters.
But of course I knows my range, an
l knows my brand, all as I makes a
spechulty of payin no attention to Jim's
wife after the nuptials his trail an mine
never does cross ONCE.
"But, speakin of love tangles, brings
to my memory story which old San
Enright onfurls ON to us, the same
shown that woman s fancy is rootless
an Unstable as a proposition.
" Always copper female says
Cherokee Hall one day when Texas
Thompson is relatin how his wife NAL
treats him an rings in divorce on him
down at Laredo. Always play 'em to
lose. Nell, yere, now, goes on Chero-
kee as he runs his hand over the b ar of
Faro Nell, who's lookout for Cherokee,
Nelly, yere, is the only one I ever
meets who can be depended on to come
winner every trip
Which females, says old Sam En- |
right, who's sottin thar at the time, AN |
partic lar young females, is heap fry
olous nacheral. The sight of rainbow
will stampede most of 'em. For myself,
I'd shorely prefer to try an hold bunch
# 800 ponies on bad night than ride
herd on the heart of one lady. Between
as alls, l more'n half fgger the fec
tions of female is migratory, same as
buffaloes used to be before they was
killed, an sorter goes north in the spring
an south ag'in in the winter.
" AS for me, says Texas Thompson,
who's moody touchin them divorce
plays his wife is maxim down at Lare-
10, you can gamble l passes all females
up. No matter how strong I holds, it
ooks like on the show downs they out
ucks me every time. Wherefore I quits
EN- cold, an any gent who wants my
chance with females can shorely have
he same.
" 'Oh, I don't know' remarks Doc
oeets, sorter gettin in on what's a gen.
,ral play. I've been all through the
,erd, an must say deems women easy
oeople every time. They're heap finer
olks than men an faithfuler.'
Which don't deny females is fine
olks, says Texas, but what l IN allow
II is they're fitful. They don't stay
zone. You can both hobble an side line
EN- at night, an the first thing that
trikes you when you rolls out in the
nornin is they're gone
"'What do you all think, Nell, ssys
DOC Peets to Faro Nell, who's percl;ed
lp on her stool by Cherokee s shoulder,
what do you all think Of Texas, yere,
of your sex? Why don't you
Pint him to the example Of Dave init
IN Benson Annie? They all gets married,
IN thar they be, caperin along as peacn-
ul as two six shooters onthe same belt
"tOh, I don't mind what Texas says
lone, replies Faro Nell. Texas is all
light an on the square. Eshouldn t wcal-
Ter if this yere Mrs. Thompson does snw
+ off on him some shabby gettin that
ep'ration, an I don't marvel at his re-
marks. But as long as Cherokee yere
links I'm right | don't let nobodys
Jews about other women poster me-
title bit SO tharl'
It's what says awhile back, III,
errupts Enright. Texas Thomps sn's
vife's motives, mighty likely, amt in
iduous none. It's a heap probable, il
he truth is known, that she amt aimin
othin at Texas-she only changes her
lind.
Now, about the earliest thing I re-
1embers, goes on Enright, lis concern
