her. Under this impression / went on:
II suppose it is funny to you Probably
so many men have been in love with
you that it has come to mean very little
in your eyes. But out here we don't
make a joke Of love, and when we care
for q woman we care--well, it's not to
be put in words, Miss Cullen"
II really didn't mean TO hurt your
feelings, Mr.. Gordon" said Madge
gently, and quite serious now. II ought
not to have tried to tease you. "
"There" / said, my irritation en-
tirely gone. II had no right to lose my
temper, and I'm sorry / spoke so un-
kindly. The truth is, Miss Cullen, the
girl care for is in love with another
man, and SO I'm bitter and i'll natured
in these days"
My companion stopped walking at
the steps Of 21S andsaid, "Has she told
you so?"
mo" answered. But it's as plain
as she's pretty"
Madge ran up the steps and opened
the door Of the car. AS she turned to
close it she looked down at me with the
oldest Of expressions and said:
"How dreadfully ugly she must be-"

"pd do more than that for ToU."
''Tel me about the girl you are engaged
to-"
was so taken aback that I stopped
in my walk and merely looked at her.
"For instance" she asked coolly,
when she saw that was speechless
"what does she look like?"
"Like, like I stammered, still en-
barrassed by this bold carrying the war
into my own camp-"like an angel
"Oh," said Madge eagerly, GIVE al
ways wanted to know what angels were
likel Describe her to me-"
"Well," / said, getting my second
wind, so to speak, she has the bluest
eyes I've ever seen. Why, Miss Cullen,
you said you'd never seen anything 80
blue as the sky yesterday, but even the
atmosphere of 'rainless Arizona has to
take back seat when her eyes are
round. And they are just like the at
mosphere out here. You can look into
them for 100 miles, but you can't get to
the bottom.
1.-THE Arizona sky ia wonderful, " said
Madge. "How do the scientists account
for it?'
wasn't going to have my description
Of Miss Cullen side tracked, for since she
had given me the chance wanted her
20 know just what thought Of her. I
didn't follow lead ON the Arizona skies,
but went Oh:
And I really think her hair is just
as beautiful as her eyes It's light
brown, very curly and''-
Her complexionI" exclaimed Madge.
''Is she a mulatto, and, if so, how can
a complexion be curly9"
Her complexion" said, not bit
ratified, "is another great beauty Of hers.
She has one of those skins
"Furs are out Of fashion at present,
she interjected, laughing wickedly.
"Now, look here, Miss Cullenv I
cried Indignantly. "I'm not going to let
even you make fun Of her.
II can't help it, " she laughed, when
you look so serious and intense. F"
It's something / feel intense about,

Now, acknowledge that you wouldn't

"Well, mo- I wouldn't" owned up.
1.-THE truth is, Miss Cullen, that I'd like
TO be rich because-well, hang 1t, !

Madge laughed at my confusion and

Considering that it was about $3.50, !
wanted to ask who was telling a tara

tion and said:

JAMES FENIMORE COOPER.
James Fenimore Cooper was born at
Burlington, New Jersey, September Is,
1889. When mere baby his rather
had moved to a real wilderness, near
Otsego lake, New York. Here he built
q large house and laid out the streets
of a town, naming 1t Cooperstown. He
had been a prominent man, but few set
tiers came to the newly laid out town,
and the fields and forests remained un-
cultivated. James Fenimore Cooper
used to roam through these wilds hunt
ing or fishing or learning the ways OF
Indians and fur traders or the habits
of wild animals.
After leading life 80 free from re-
straint was 1t strange that he should re-
volt at the confinement OF college life?
At the age OF 13 he was sent to Yale,
where he remained three years. He then
entered the navy as midshipman, and
remained six years In the service. He
then married and settled, first in Win
chester county and afterwards In New
York city.
His literary career was begun, 1t
seems, by accident. One evening, lay
ing aside an English novel which he
had been reading to his wife, ne re-
marked, half playfully, that he believed
he could write a better one himself.
"Precautlon" was the result Of this con-
yIction; but, If we may Judge of Its
worth by its authors estimation, he did
not realize the cOnceit which gave birth
to the effort.
In his novel he had tried to describe
English life, of which he knew nothing,
and produced very stupid novel, Of
which 1t is said he was heartily ashamed
Instead of being discouraged, he tried
again, and, in 1921, published what rs
conceded to have been the first Ameri-
can novel, entitled "The Spy; Tale Of
the Neutral Ground" The spy" or
hero, Is Harvey Birch, very shrewd
spy and brave soldier, the story Of whose
adventures delighted not only America
and England but all Europe. The book
was even translated into the Persian
and Arabic languages. The French were
particularly charmed with these new
scenes and characters.
"After the success OF The Spy says
Watkins, "his boyhood memories came
10 him, and he determined to write
stories Of the GarsoR days when the white
The Advocate and news., 1898-01-19


roar Of the Atlantic. He could recall
the backwoods life clearly; his imagi-
nation easily filled In the true back
ground with incident after incident. He
drew we'll and accurately the Indian
wigwam, the war council, the trail, the
attack. We think Of the Indian az
brave, loyal, shrewd, enduring, never
forgetting either a kindness or an in
Jury, just because Cooper so shows them
to u.s."
More real and attractive than the In
dian is Natty Bumppo. He was the plo-
neer or backwOodsman who appears in
five Of his novels, called the Leather
stocking Series," because Natty Bumppo
was so called by the Indians. They are
THE Deerslayer," "The Last OF the Mo-
hicans," "The Pathfinder" "The Pio-
meers," and '"The Prairie"
His life as midshipman led him to
declare that the sea story, Scott's
Pirate" was not as realistic as It would
have been had Scott been a sailor.
Cooper, to prove the point, wrote sea
novel, "The Pilot" The scenes are laid
during the revolution, It Ia said that
ut not only demonstrated the versatility
Of his genius but also proved II to be
master Of a creative and pictorial energy
exceeding any evidence yet given. The
ships with whose fortunes we have to
do In this story interest us like crea-
lures OF flesh and blood. Long Tom
Coffin is probably the most widely known
sailor character In existence"
Fully equalling 1.-THE Pilot" in thrfll-
ing incidents, was the "Red Rover" OF
a similar character was the Water
Witch" that followed.
In 1892 and 1888 Cooper published not
less than five novels. The best of them
Is "The Bravo" "EIomeward Bound and
Home as Found" In 1888, was an elab-
crate portraiture Of newspaper editor
and was the cause for libel suits against
the author.
His NAVAL History Of the United
States" Is series OF naval biographies,
works of travel, and q great deal OF con-
troversial matter.
He died September IA, 1851, at his
country estate at Cooperstown, on the
eve of his sixty-second birthday.
What has been said Of him by differ
ent authors:
"He was a man Of strongly marked
individuality; fiery, pugnaciOus, sensi-
tive to criticism, and abounding In crit
icism. He wrote over thirty novels, the
greater part of which are little better
than trash, and tedious trash at that.
FTe was no satlrist, and his humor was
not Of a high order He was rapid
and uneven writer, and, unlike Irving,
he had no style. Beers.
"In his personal character Cooper pre-
sents to us a manly, resOlute nature, OF
an independent mood, aggressive, fond
Of the attack; conscious Of the strength
which had led him to choose his own
path in the world and triumph. He
never exerted his power, however, but
in some chivalrous course. ."-DuyCk-
lnck.
"Only nine or ten Of Cooper's thirty
books are worthy Of acquaintance Many
Of his later works are tedious and un-
interesting. Cooper's neglect OF his
studies at school and his rapid, careless
work injured his style. Unlike Irving,
he often got the wrong word in the
wrong place." but he is fresh and lively,
plcturing what his imagination sees. -

There's really no likelihood, " in
terrupted, "of my being able to assume
a martyrs crown, Miss Cullen, so don't
begin to pity me till I'm behind the
bars. "
"But can't bear to think"-
Don't" interrupted again, rejoic-
ing all the time at her evident anxiety
and blessing my stars for the luck they
had brought me. "Why, Miss Cullen" "
| went on, "I've become so interested in
your success and the licking Of those
fellows that 1 really think I'd stand
about anything rather than that they
should win. Yesterday, when Mr.. Camp

suddenly occurred to me that it was best

len.
Threatened to lose his temper, I
answered.
'You know that wasn't what you
were going to say" Madge said re-
proachfully.

"Then what was it?"
Nothing worth speaking about"
But want to know what he threat
ened."
Really, Miss Cullen began, but
she interrupted me by saying anXiously:
He can't hurt papa, can he?"
NO." I replied.
'Or my brothers?"
"He can't touch any Of them without
my help. And he'll have work to get
that, I suspect. "
"Then why can't you tell meP" de-
manded Miss Cullen. your refusal
makes me think you are keeping back
some danger to them. "
"Why, Miss Cullen, " said, II didn't
like to tell his threat because it seemed
well, I may be wrong, but l thought
it might look like an attempt--an ap-
peal Oh, pshawl" / faltered, like
donkey "I can't say it as Iwant to put
it"
"Then tell me right out what he
threatened" said Madge.
"He threatened to get me discharged,

That made Madge look very sober,
and for o moment there was silence.
Then she said:
II never thought of what You were
FisI1ing to help us, Mr.. Gordon. And I'm
afraid it's too late to-
Don't worry about me-" I hastened
TO interject. "I'm long way from be-
ing discharged, and, even if 1 should be,
Miss Cullen, I know my business, and
it won't be long before have another
place.
But it's terrible to think Of the in
jury we may have caused you," said
Madge sadly. 1T makes me hate the
thought Of money"
That's very poor thing to hate, I
said, Except the lack Of it,
Are you SO anxious to get rich?"
