Gu Smli6 Dy kluQ WORDS.
And you was like a real good
daughter to them. I've heard Mrs.
Farindale say, with my own ears, that
il it hadn't been for your fitting in SO
clever when their own Sadie was taken
life wouldn't have been what it was to
them, nor it wouldn't"
Il hope I was some comfort to them.
I'd deserve KILN If I hadn't BEEN"
All of these views had been inter-
changed during the straight talk"
which Mrs. Warren had ridden ten
miles to give Mrs. Monette.
Morning calls are not common in that
part of Colorado. 1t would have been
a rank offense to the hostess for her
visitor to have stayed less than six or
seven hours on the stretch and no one
ever offended in that fashion.
There were the accumulated domestic
happenings of weeks to retail; a new
sort Of pickle to be sampled; the ar
rival of a belated fashion book from
the east to chronicle, a basque pattern
to be borrowed and in and out of the
varied wool of inevitable gossip the
doctors wife had woyen the strong,
clean strand Of her womanly advice.
That she had done so without CIV
ing, and that Mrs. Monette had listen
ed without taking, offense was equally
creditable to them both.
The facts of the case, stripped Of
Mrs. Warren's colloquialisms and ver-
bosity, were these:
Fifteen years before that day Farm
dale's Gulch had become the home Of
! the old couple who gave it a name.
Their object in removing from the east
was to save, if possible, the life CT their
| only child, a lovely girl Of sixteen years
of age.
They had brought with them another
girl in capacity of maid. A wan-cheek-
| ed, large-eyed, nervous creature, with
| very little in common with the hand
| some young woman Mrs. Warren had
| just been lecturing.
Farindale had been a Wall street
| operator at home and his talent for
money-getting had pursued him into
| the far west. He amassed a fortune
with the easy rapidity characteristic Of
the section. Only once-when he was
leading in dry-eyed misery owe his
daughters cof1n-had the faulty of his
pursuits seemed to strike him with any
| force.
Il wanted it for her. mother, and
now she's gone What's a-good of it
a11?"
But the money rolled up in spite Of
! his newborn Indifference and the herds
! upon his pasture lands increased nigh
| tily. The maid was a comfort to them

in those first days of their sore grief
and as the days wore ON she came to
/ take a daughters attitude toward them.
ITS hard to realize she's the same
lscared, white-faced girl we found stand
ing in the Grand Contra. depot that
raw February morning and just fetch
ed along because she said she was
willing to do all sorts of work if we'd
only help her to get out of New York
city, where she didn't have a friend
to her name"
Mrs. Farindale said this a score or
two of times. And the old man would
nswer
ut was Sadie's doings. Sadie was a
great one to feel sorry for folks. She's
dead now-and it must be a comfort
to her to look down and see the girl
she begged. us to fetch along doing us
such a sight of good"
All these memories crowded thickly
upon Mrs. Monette's brain as she stood
there in the glow of the afternoon sun,
gazing after her neighbor and recalling
her well-meant lecture.
MI. Farindale had died three years
before and his wife just six weeks ago
or that day. She had hardly had time
10 realize how utterly alone they had
left her. There had been folks" COM
ing and going The lawyer had been
there with the will Mr.. Farindale had
intrusted to him years before. He had
come to tell her that she was a very
rich woman; so rich that she had not
the least idea of how she was going to
enjoy it.
Her household since the recent death
Of her benefactress had remained un-

morning as she lowered about the
breakfast table, putting some ornamen-
tai touches to it, in the way of fringed
damask dollies that had been locked
away in the big cedar chest for years.;
the real silver butter dish and a blue
bowl full of yellow m~arigolds were also
added. For the first time in her life
she exulted in the consciousness OF be-
ing a rich woman.
Folks think a heap more Of You
when they know you amt grubbing
about me yet, but after have given
him a turn abou. the ranch he'll know
more. They would fit into the empty
room here dreadful snug, and I'm not
going to let 'em off, if / can help it."
She was thinking aloud, a habit of
many lonely women And when she
had not been alone since the passing
of the last one of her dear folks" she
had ever possessed since
She plucked at a retiring marigold
in the blue bowl so fiercely that she
snapped 1t short off at the stem. AS
she turned to fling it out the open win
dow she confronted Miss Fielding
standing on the threshold.
81 didn't know you were up" she
said, advancing with an outstretched
hand. "You oughtn't to be. I'd just
as soon have brought you in your
breakfast"
You are very good, but Ledyard
thinks we must be giving you a great
deal of trouble. He's afraid-we're
afraid-you don't need the money we
always expect to offer"
Mrs. Monette looked at her smiling
ly.
mo. l don't need your money. But
I tell you what l do need desperate
bad; / need COMPANY"
Her guest came forward and seated
herself in a low window seat uphol-
stored with gray figured denims. The
window gave a charming view out upon
Mrs. Monette's property.
The land upon which Mr.. Farindale
had perched his house was higher up
the gulch than any of his neighbor
ranches, and the view its open window
embraced seemed to comprise the
whole Rocky Mountain range.
Miss Fielding's exclamation of I'M
feigned delight brought Harriet to her
side at the window. She smiled with
proprietary pride.
Pretty, amt it,"
pretty? Oh, don't use such a tame
word! It's grand! 1t fills my soul
with awe. | feel as If the Lords tenn
pie was spread open before me and all

Harriet regarded this outburst as
amateurish.

the Rockies"

Society Scored.

Charlotte. n. c., June 25.-In a
talk to men at the Y. NJ. G. A. hall
yesterday afternoon on "Thc Young
Man in Society," Rev. a. G. Barron,
ID. d., pastor of Tryon Street Baptist
Church, spoke plainly concerning the
tendencies of society, as distinguished
by the term 1.-The Four Hundred,
using incidents which occurred in
Atlanta, Charlotte and other cities to
show that the doings Of "thc upper
ten" folks are not generally what they
should be.
The speaker urged the necessity of
the proper kind Of society for young
men, and said that the tendency of
mems clubs and boarding houses.
where women are excluded, is general
ly downward, and that he would ad-
wise no young man to live where there
we're no women to associate with.
Turning to the danger of young men
becoming cntangled in the mazes of
"the four hundred" Dr. Barron told
the story of the downfall Of Lewis
Rcdwine, who, he said, when he took
position as cashier in an Atlanta
bank at salary Of 1900 year, was
fawned upon by society, and in order
to keep up with the demands Of At
lanta's upper ten, was lurcd into going
beyond his salary, and becoming de-
faulter. He also spoke of a young
man of his acquaintance who was
driven to suicide by dissipation incl
dent to following the dictates Of
society.
Another citizen of ofoAtlanta. who is
now widely known, and who was lately
called to the presidency of one Of the
foremost colleges Of the country, came
out of the civil war with only blind
horse. and entered the University of
Virginia, and by hard work was gradu-
ated there and from two other special
institutions, all by his own exertions.
This man now says had he not tnrne
from the fawnings Of the univers
society ne would have never become
what he is, for he could not have kept
up the pace which "the four hundred"
would have set for him.
DR.. Barron's conclusions were that
young men cannot safely yield to the
demands Of the "top-notch" society in
any of our cities, but he diA not con-
denim society as a whole, for, he con-
cludes, there are circles Of it which
every young man can enter.-4Spocial

Anniston, February 10-(Special.) )-Amos McElderry. a negro man said to be III years old, was burned to death last night at McElderry's station, Talladega county.
