He could not win a woman's heart as
easily as he could win at poker-playing
the game as he played It, that is. with
out those conscientious scruples the alb
sence of which make poker playing prof
liable. Mr.. Murgatroyd did not work;
there were others to work; he played;
and the more the others worked the
more he played; that was why Mr.. NJ.

always called, for she was far more
beautiful and bellish than IL she had not
got out OF Boston when she did, first
met Cecil Murgatroyd. Her pretty face
and graceful figure caught the rowing
fancy OF the star boarder and he exerted
all his arts 10 please her. There were
many times when the coffee wasn't fit to
wash the dishes in, and the steak was
tougher than a Philadelphia politicians
conscience. but he restrained his out
ragged feelings and would not speak dis
respectfully OF the table in the presence
of Angilena. It was enough, he was
wont 70 say to her, that her fair hands
served him, for such service made am
brosia of hash and changed blue milk
into nectar. She would blush at this
and look away, and was IL any wonder
that this orphan girl, alone in the world,
should learn to love the man whose
speech fell upon her as honeyed drops
upon the open flower?
II was not, and ere she was aware the
ever watchful Cupid had shot an arrow
through her tender heart. She would
put flowers at Murgatroyd's plate; she
would break his eggs for him-when it
was safe 10 serve them boiled; she
sneaked the landladys private cream for
his coffee; she gave him clean napkin

he felt assured 1t was not necessary for
him to do a thing but accept her adora-

But II is a long worm that has no

One day a petroleum puncher froui
Pennsylvania, while prospecting around
the territory contiguous TO BadlandviHe,
struck something that he was looking
for, and at once hied himself TO consult
with Mr.. Murgatroyd, who had money.
What they talked about in detail is Of
no consequence, but that night they

NGILENA STOUT was the Belle

A NGILENA STOUT was the Belle
II OF the Bad Lands and she loved
Cecil Courtney Murgatroyd with
a powerful and passionate emotion that
she could not have acquired in a thous
and years had not her father removed
from Boston TO the untamed and fOcu-
lent West at a period in her childhood
ere yet the intense intellectually of that
had touched her budding affections with
fits killing frosts. Her father, whose an
cestors had come over in the Buckwheat
-four, having lost his estates in the cod
fish business. and finding Boston quite
impossible in any other, sought the
wider West. and settled finally in that
section known as the Bad Lands. Here
he taught school, as every Bostonian can
do when put 20 it, and n the course of
twenty-odd years he had accumulated
S4.5O, with which he purchased thous,
and acres of broad. far-stretching plain.
Everybody who knew anything about real
estate in that section, and most of them
did 10 their sorrow. FASTENED to tell him
he was a plumb idiot for wasting his
money like that, but he insisted upon
having the land TO leave TO his daughter
when he should have crossed the dark
river. and he would not listen to reason.
THE savings Of many years Of ardu-
Gus pedagogic labor" he said, in his not
yet forgotten Bostonese, shall be in
vested for her, and she shall be known
as the Belle of the Bad Lands
Her title cost but $3.50, which Is
cheaper than American fathers can buy
for their daughters nowadays, and the
old man died happy. He we'll knew that
wherever his future home might be, it
would be an Improvement on Badlands-
vile.
At the time of this chronicle Angilena
Stout was old enough 10 be earning her
