CHAPTER X.

"Three mortal hours" said Miss Fol-
som to her fond little school friend and
chum that afternoon, shave had to sit
or stroll with or listen to Maj. Bur-
leigh. never once was able to enjoy
the view. What made him hurry US

SUPPOSED"
'Did you notice that, Nell? I did,
too, and was so interested in the view.
Away up toward Laramie peak I could
see something through the glasses that
looked like lot of little ants crawling
along together. It was just after that
Just after we looked through the
glass, that he marched US round to the
other side. The view toward Green
river isn't half as pretty"
"And now he's telling some in
terminable story to father over their
cigars. What shall we do if he hangs
on? Father will have to ask him to
drive with us to the fort, and there
won't be ROOM"
"Unless Mrs. Fletcher gives up her
seat" said Jessie, demurely.
"Mrs. Fletcher isn't going. A very
different person takes her seat to-day,
Jess. Father left note for Mr..
LOOMS at the hotel and he accepted.
Now you see why don't want Maj.
Burleigh."
It was then long after three o'clock.
At five they were to start, and Jessie

could hardly curb her impatience. The
mail from Frayne, SO said Folsom,
would arrive that evening, and then
surely there would be news OF Mar
shall. They had slipped away to their
rooms after the bountiful luncheon
served on their return, In order, ~
Pappoose expressed it. that the gen
tlemen might have their cigars in
peace. Mrs. Fletcher, after seeing that
everything was prepared. had direct
ed the servant to say to Mr.. Folsom,
on the return of the party, that size
would prefer not to appear, and would
be glad to keep her room, as she did
not feel it at oil necessary for the
housekeeper to meet strangers, and
Folsom felt q sense of relief. It was
so much sweeter not to have any pre-
siding genius other than Pappoo*e,
not that he was forgetful of Mrs
Fletcher's merits and seryices-which
were great-but it was plain to see
that his daughter would have been
happier had no such Office existed as
that created for this deserving and
destitute widow. At three Miss Fol-
som had gone and tapped at the lady's
door-her room was in the third story,
overlooking the street-and was very
civilly assured that Mrs. Fletcher
stood in need of nothing, but, being
wearicd, she would like little sleep.
No, she did not even care for cup of
tea. Yet Elinor felt confident that
the voice that replied to her inquiries
came neither from the bed nor the
lounge, but from the direction of the
front window.
At three the cigars were smoked out
and the host and his guests were in
the library. 1t was Folsom's custom,
when possible thing, to take brief
nap after the midday meal, and Elinor
felt sure he would be glad of the op.

som would yield to the spell and fall
asleep in his easy-chair? Was It not
Miss Folsom's duty to descend and
take the burden of entertainment of
those elder shoulders? These thoughts
oppressed the girl, and, starting up,
she cried:
Its simply wicked of me staying
here and letting poor papa be bored
to death. Do come down, Jess, dear,
unless you're too dreadfully sleepy.
He acts just as though he intended
never to CO."
And Jess promised reluctantly to
come down in ten minutes, If he didn't
leave; but she hated him, and had
hated him ever since he spoke so of
Marshall in the car three days before.
The upper hall had been quite dark
when Miss Folsom went up to inquire
how Mrs. Fletcher was, just after
luncheon. The door to her little room
was tightly closed. The blinds in all
the other rooms aloft were drawn
against the glare of the sunshine in
the cloudless atmosphere, yet now, as
Pappoose stepped suddenly out upon
the landing, she was surprised to see
that the upper floor was much lighter
than when she went up half an hour
earlier. The maid had not gone thith.
er from the kitchen, and Mrs. Fetch
err wished to doze. Who, then, could
have opened both blind and door and
let in that flood of light? Impulsive-
ly the active girl flew up the winding
stairs to the third story, and some one
suddenly withdrew from the balcony
rail, and an instant later, as Miss
Folsom reached the top, all became
dark again. Mrs. Fletcher's door had
unquestionably Deen open, and was
now shut to-. She must have been out
there listening, and gravely the young
girl asked herself what it meant
Mrs. Fletcher's agitation in the Ii.
b-ary that morning as she peered out
at the majors wagon; her absence
from luncheon on account, as she
pleaded, of not desiring to appear
when company was present; and now.
despite her desire to sleep, her vigil
at the third-floor landing, where she
was surely listening to the sounds
from below.
bordering over the facts, Elinor
Folsom slowly retraced her steps and
went downstairs. She reached the H.
brary none too soon. Old Johns eyes
were closed and he was slowly top
ping, overcome with sleep. The sound
of her CHEEKY voice aroused him. and
he started. guilty and crestfallen.
Burleigh's heavy face frightened
visibly at her coming. He cared no
more for music than does cat, but
eagerly followed her across the broad
hall into the parlor when she suggest
ed showing him the beautiful piano
papa had given her; and old John.

buried his hot head in a pillow, and
was asleep in ten seconds. Maj. Bur-
leigh was alone with the lovely daugh-
ter of the veteran trader. He was Q

Gated girl just out of school-so said
Burleigh, albeit most charming one;
and he, who had monopolize'i her time
the entire morning, bore down once
more upon his prize.

don't know where it started, but in the
good old times Of case type and hand
presses it was the common expression
used to designate a woman in print
shop. 1t wasn't used outside Of the
composing rooms. I'll tell you how
think it arose. All the old hand type,
as everybody knows, is provided with
hicks on the side, so that the type
settlers don't have to look at the face Of
the type to know how to throw IT. in
the stick Far back in prehistoric
days the type had only one nick. but
later two hicks became the style, and
80 years ago two hicks was the usual
thing. But there came improvements
In typemaking, and 1t was discovered
that three or four hicks on the side of
the type made 1t easier for the printer
to handle, and so the three or four
nicked type came into style and the
two nicked type went into disuse and
bad repute. Printers despised the two
nicked type. About that time women
got foothold in the printing offices.
They were not regarded with favor BY
the old time printers. The women and
the two nicked type were In about the
same category in the esteem Of the old
typo. and it was very natural that he
should come to express both by the
same words. They both became two

come traditional In printshops. MEM
