CHAPTER VII

SE1aT VII
1t was not until late in the autumn
that Philip was reused from his dream
OF love (for what. alas! is every en-
5oyment Of this life but a dreamy by
a summons from the captain of the
vessel with whom he had engaged to
sail.
One morning In the month OF Oc-
tober there was tapping with the
knuckles at the cottage door, AS this
precaution implied a stranger. Anime
obeyed the summons.

size OF his face and head. of unusual
dimensions. very protuberant, clear
and watery, and the most unpleasant
to look upon, being relieved by no
fringe of eyelash either above or be-
low 1t.
Philip was greatly surprised at the
appearance of the stranger, who, as
soon as he entered the room. without
saying word. sat down on the sofa
by Philip in the place which Anime
had Just left.
Philip Vanderdecken-he! he!-
Philip Vanderdecken. you don't know
me?" he began.
Il do not" replied Philip in half
angry tone.
The voice of the little man was most

scream. the notes of which sounded in
your ear long after he had ceased to
speak.

she observed:

Tho Maids OF Honor.

1t Is due the Maids of Honor 10 say
that they have made a uood impression.
Their beauty. their modesty. their re-
tined demexnOr all indicate, conclusively
that they genuinely represent the girl
hood Of Colorado. Every Intelligent
Colorado man and woman who saw
them was impelled to share in their
deserved triumph and generously felt
proud ct them.
No physical line of demarkation
could bs drawn between those maids
who came from the mountains and
those who came from the plains. To all
appearances the highlsnders are indis.
tinguishable from the lowlanders.
1t is said the maids average but about
twenty years in age. In other words,
though full grown women. they were
born but the other day when the Lead
VILE carbonate boom was bursting upon
the country and attracting the worlds
attention to Colorado. Many Of them
are from counties TINT only short
score of years ago were part Of the
Ute reservation. Their existence began
about the time OF our last Indian war In
which the heroic Meeker perished and
the gallant Thornburg fell. What
magic changes have those few short
years wrought denver Republican.
