Story Of . Girl Who Made . Mis-
take,
BY Il. W. PATTON.

I
stage for courtesy on a lonely road neal
the border of Mexico and about go miles
from San Diego. The driver, named
Charley, was an honest faced, sturdy and
good natured fellow, about 35 years old
somewhat weather beaten, but good to
look at withal.
We crawled along over the dusty road,
enlivening the way with conversation,
| principally sustained by the driver. Sud
denly saw Charleys face cloud up,
and, looking ahead, l beheld vision
which was pure, unaduterated lowell
ness to man who had seen nothing for
months but dark skinned Mexicans and
brick dust colored squaws. She was q
blond and peach.
As we passed she smiled sweetly on
Charley and gave him a flash Of her
eyes and the winningest of bows. Charley
only grunted and whipped up his horses.
The fountain Of conversation seemed
to have dried up, but at the end Of
= ten mile silence, when my thoughts were
far away, Charley blurted out, "She can
go to thunderP' was startled, as the
girl incident had slipped my memory.
Continuing, he said THAT girl could
shorely had my whole outfit, but she's
false'n'er a Injun. She teaches school
about two miles from where we met her,
and I've been haulin her back and forth
fer nigh on to ten months, sides bringin
out bundles and things from Sandyago
fer her.
"She alters smiled on to me sweet enuff
to make hound pup leave his milk, and
swan, she ulster chin bout my noble
brow and brawny arm and how nice it
would be to have big. strong man-with
stage and mail route-to protect her.
Zone day she cum out to the stage and
Civ me big bundle and asst me to leave
It at laundry in Sandyago. Well, sir,
1t was only wrapped in ole newspapers,
and hole got busted in the paper. and
what do you think l seed stick!n out?
1t war n white thing with lace on to it,
which the same I'd seen little Of when
she'd lifted up her dress to cline into my
ole wagon and which alters made me feel
dizzy and gone, likes il war on steep
grade, goin down without brake and
with heaven at the other end.
"Well, sir, covered that piece of pet
ticut up the same as IL it had been a
sleepin child, and the worst pang of my
blasted life was when Civ it into the
hands Of n yellow son of n gun at the
washhouse. took the bundle, which
was about four times bigger, back with
me on the next trip and Dora-that's the
