Is that why Mr.. Parry has been urging
him all day to come up to Cimarron %
''He-he, too-he has been wiring for
Randy" she faltered, her eyes big
with some new dread. Did he go?
Has he gomez"
HE couldn't go, Mrs McLane. He
was sent in pursuit of Mexican ruffians
last night, and was shot and severely
wounded in the fight this morning.
Look! They're bringing him in now"
And for the second time within the
week Fanny McLane went senseless in
a second, limp and nerveless heap
upon the floor. They had to carry her
to her room, and Grafton was the bur-
den bearer; and then, having laid her
upon her bed, and while the women
were bustling about with the usual
restoratives, he stopped one moment be-
fore her profusely Uttered toilet table.
A little case, half hidden among the
mess, unerringly caught his eye. He
took it, touched the spring, gave one
quick glance at the dainty, delicate in
stfuments and phials inside, and re-
placed it, with the quiet remark: 'T
thought So"

But Grafton had graver work ahead.
and it was close at hand. Punctilious
soldier that he was, he would leave no
loophole for the possible criticism of
superior. Hurriedly writing few lines
to Col. Buxton notifying him that the
wagon bringing Merriam was now close
to the garrison, and that, as arranged
between them, he would meet it al the
gate. he sent the note by his servant and
fastened up the row to the angle
formed by the south and west fronts,
where an opening had been left in the
fence for the convenience of riding
parties; and it was through this gap
that poor Randy was presently trundled
and then down along the line to his own
doorway By this time the pain in his
strained and stiffened leg was intense,
while the arm, hurriedly but skillfully
dressed when far afield, was troubling
him but little. His one thought all the
way had been for Florence He had in
sisted on scribbling her a little note be-
fore they reached the Santa Clara, Just
to tell he was all right; that there
was nothing to worry about, and all he
needed was few days OF her nursing.
The decor gave it to one OF the men and

He Did Not See Them.

A story is told of certain politician
whose education was somewhat defect
i've, and who, in particular, was not a
'born speller." He became prominent,
and his correspondence, therefore, took
on a certain Importance.
One day a particular friend came to
him and said: Look here, William;
you must have a secretary write your
letters, and never undertake to write
any yourself"
''Why?" asked the public man.
Because people are laughing al your
letters, and they will do you HARM"
why do they laugh at them?" in
establishment.
Because you make so many mistakes
in spelling"
Mistakes in spelling?" exclaimed the
great man, nonsense! i read my let
tiers all over after 1 write them, and
never find a misspelled wordi''
He had not yet learned that. although
to certain extent man may safely be
