The western Girls Way.

New York Evening Sun.
The chaperon is not so much of an in
stitution in the breezy West as she is in the
East, and in some quarters there are rather
hazy ideas as to her duties and %responsi-
bilities. One Western girl, the freedom of
whose life had made her exceptionally indie
pendent and self-reliant, gave an excellent
illustration of this at an Eastern sum-
mer resort. She was under the protecting
wing of an Eastern matron with very strict
ideas of propriety. The matron found her
charge one day sitting on the hotel veran-
da with a strange man, and naturally she
was p~erturbed. She took a chair reason
ably near them, to give the girl a chance
TO present the young man, but the girl in
nored her. Finally, in desperation, the
matrOn tried TO instruct the girl by signals
what to do. but the latter only smiled and
When the young man left, the matron
asked who he was.
"Oh, he's from Denver answered the
girl.
1T is a chaperon's duty TO decide who are
proper acquaintance for a young GIRL eX-
planned the matron. You should have pre-
scented him to me-.
II suppose So" answered the girl. nom
chalantly. but, you see. he hasn't a very
good reputation. and so 1 thought it better
you shouldn't meet him."
On another occasion this girl. who thought
IL her duty to protect the chaperon, was
present when an international marriage
was under discussion.
We'll" she announced decisively, I'D
never buy a husband anyway"
"0h. this wasn't that kind of a mar
rage" explained one of the other girls.
''Of course. she's rich. but she didn't have
to settle any part of her fortune on him.
He is merely To have so much a year"
Perhaps that's safer admitted the
Westerner, without any effort TO conceal
her contempt. but buying on the INSTALL
ment plan always seems to me unsatisfac-
tory and cheap"

novel causes of misery in his world.

And Shall Never Know.

Sometime. somewhere. I shall be sleeping
That sleep Of strange serenity,
With grasses growing over me,
While stars their world watch will be keeping,
Or day will show fair pageantry-
And shall never see!
Perchance a bird will pause in flying.
And in a song. soft-eadenced, clear.
WIN voice it's ecstasy anear:
Sweet breezes DER me will be signing
4 lullaby 10 charm the ear
And / shall never hear,
And then. an me! dear ones that love me.
Sometimes. as years shall come and go,
From haunts OF life's unceasing flow,
win sadly come and bend above me.
To speak loves language sweet and low
And shall never know!

That night in the hotel the man told
his friends what was to be, and they
all clicked glasses and wished him
joy.
That night the woman sat at her one
window and watched a big black cloud
that came out of the west and heard
the low wind come sobbing and cry
ing UP the canon. The moan of the
wind saddened her and the sight of the
black cloud caused her to weep.
The kind woman with whom she
lived heard her sob through the can
vas wall, and went in to see her. The
woman laid her brown head on the
knee of her friend, and told her that
she was to be married on the morrow,
and the good woman kissed her. and
cheered her, and told her that she must
not weep on the eve of her wedding
day. Then the bride-to-be wiped her
eyes and tried to be glad, but when
she was alone she looked out on the
black cloud and heard the wind sob.
and moaned. When her friend peeped
in again the woman. with her glorious
hair let loose over her white gown, was
kneeling besides her narrow bed.
That night the sleeping camp was
startled by the cry Of fire. The wind.
that had come crying out of the west
hours ago. had begun to howl. Wind
and fire seem always to go together.
The wooden camp burned like rlcks of
dry straw. Hundreds of people
escaped in the clothes they were sleep
ing in. When the fire died down and
the roll was called only two people
were missing. but they were deeply
mourned, for they were good fellows.
