Horatio Bigelow, though. was not
to be put off in this way, for he loved
Mary REESE. He told his family about
it, and his family was beautifully,
magnificently shocked, and when a
Boston family, backed up with s30,000.-
900, gets shocked, it is something
worth seeing.
1t should not be! said the family.
Neveri 1t was foolish idea on the
part of the boy. He must be sent
around the world to see other places,
other faces, and forget the pretty
daughter of the humble arsenal ma
chinist. A shopgirl! Ugh!
Young Bigelow was no fool. He
loved Mary REESE, she loved him, and
he preferred her, only too wisely, to
any of the specialized, erudite, blue
blooded Back Bay young persons who,
in his family's estimation, would
make the sort of bride he should
have. He knew his family thorough
ly, and was aware of the fact that to
cross them would be disagreeable. So

buttonholes help out the hand-sewed
aspect, and these points are easily
seen to by the average home dress
maker. White linen dresses are eff
fectively trimmed with straps of
self-material fastened at the ends with
rows Of the little buttons. This kind
of trimming is much better than
cheap lace or embroidery.
We have noticed few children's
frocks made of colored stuff, with just
wee introduction of white, square

and a collar of the same. We won

the dress they add not little to the

the Hardanger embroidery have belts

are the more fashionable, but not sc

We should like to emphasize the

clothes, rather tAan the ''best," the

about the desirability of having the

/ tlemen. The county lazy officers were
unable to cope with these daring mar
! auders
The territory of Arizona has twice
the area of New York state and less
than half the population of Newark, N.
j., so there is plenty of room for the
desperate to swing. But the ranger is
so named because he, too, knows the
ranges. The rangers usually work to-
gether in squads of two or three, and
as there are only 26 of them it means
that they are widely scattered, but
they keep in close touch with the Office
of Gov. Brodie, with whom they file a
weekly report showing just what they
are doing.
The men are selected from hundreds
of competitors, after undergoing thor
ough tests to determine their ability as
horsemen and their skill in roping,
trailing and shooting. Capt. Rynning,
of Douglas, is at the head of the ran
gers.
The individual members of the COM
pany are not known to the public. The
original company was once. lined up
and photographed, but since then the
wisdom of keeping the individuality of
the men secret has been learned. This
element of secrecy more than doubles
the effectiveness of force, for no gang
of outlaws can now be brought to-
gether without the risk of including a
ranger who will upset all the wicked
plans at the right moment.
This little band of men made 453 ar
rests during the year ending June 30,
1904. Five of these were murderers and
155 had committed felonies. In taking
this number of men it is highly to the
credit of the company that only one of
the bad men was killed. That does not
read like a border tale, but it shows
how carefully the rangers work.
One thing which makes every Ari-
conan proud of the rangers is the i'm
portant fact that there has not been q
train robbery or lynching since the
rangers were organized.
The most interesting facts about this
little company are to be gathered from
Capt. Rynning's report, which shows
that ON the average each man rides 800
miles month, or total for the entire
force of 10, 14O miles. The rangers have
worked in conjunction with the live
stock sanitary board and the Arizona
Cattle Growers association, and they
have restored hundreds of lost cattle,
sheep and goats. Smugglers, Chinese
unlawfully in the country, and persons
who sell whisky to Indians are also
under their ban.

themselves in gay unconventional
manner. Women riders to-day do not
look stiff and mannish as they did
years ago; while there is more riding,
there is less of certain conventional
dress for the sport.
Now, shirt waists are considered
quite the thing, and on the warm days
of spring and summer no coat is worn.
Hats are chosen for the sake of shade
from glare, GOODNESS, and general COM
fort. The tricorne is favorite, the
soft cowboy felt obtains in the coun-
try, and in the country some extrem-
lists go hatless. 1t is well to select
hat that will at least modify the sun
burn, for though one may prefer to
look like an outdoor girl, rather than
a rocking chair damsel, yet an over
red countenance is not very beautiful.
Cross-saddle riding demands di-
vided skirt, and tailors have met the
demand with an excellent garment, an
affair that can be made to do double
duty. When in the saddle it is di-
vided skirt fitting trinity about the
hips, falling straight and trim to
either stirrup; when the wearer dis
mounts she buttons a plat a bit diff
ferently, and there she has a tne pc
destrian costume. This year these
garments really are very satisfactory;

arrive at this result, however.

Boston.-The little god, Cupid, has
set this city by the ears again as only
Cupid can every now and again. The
pranks of the little archer have had
blue-blooded Boston at his mercy time
after time, but this latest escapade
has beaten all other efforts, and has
loft society in state of collapse from
which it is not expected to recover
soon.
Boston society-the society which
lives in the alphabetical streets of the
Back Bay, is more exclusive than a
hermit, that graduates from Harvard
to State street and from the Puritan
club to the Somerset-is shocked
again.
1t is the same old shock-the shock
that hits Boston just so often and
knocks its eyeglasses off-a Boston
BluestockIng has gone and married a
shopgirl.
According to the Boston corre-
spondent of the New York World you
would think that Boston would be
used to such an occurrence by this
time. Harrison Grey Otis started it
when he chose the daughter of an
East Boston baker for his bride, and
since that day probably no less than
40 scions of old Puritan families have
found their fates behind the counters
at Jordan's or Whites or even
Houghton S.
But Boston simply won't get used
to it; it insists on being shocked
every time it happens, hence the fact
that Marlborough street resounds with
"Did-you-evers" and "I-want-to-
knows" and even the flowers in the
public gardens are shaken.
This time the shockers are the
usual characters; Harvard man, tall
handsome, blue-blooded, broker, rich,

he agreed to the trip around the
world, but he had trick up his sleeve
all the time.
To Mary Reise alone he conf1ded it.
They would be married on the sly
and go on the round-the-world trip
together. 1t would be a fine honey
moon!
At first the young woman objected, but
love finally conquered, and, on the Sd
of August, 1899, in little Episcopal
mission church out in RuXbury, they
were wed by Rev. Edward L. Atkinson.

Transcript.
The bride was on her vacation from
the store, and went to Newport to spend
it. So did young Bigelow. On Septem-
Der it was time for him to start on his
trip around the world, and off to San
Francisco he went. From there he and
his bride telegraphed the Bigelows in
Boston that the wedding had taken
place and also informed the brides
parents. Then they went aboard the
vessel to Japan and let the families do
all the worrying.
Of course there was something ter
rible in the way of worrying around the

the Bigelows and the Reises were so
glad to get the youngsters home that
they forgot all about being angry, and
the matter was settled.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bigelow went to Nor
witch, Conn, to live, happy and content
ed, and the brides twin sister, Ellen
Gertrude, was invited to pay them a
visit.
This was the beginning of the second
romance, the one that at present has
Boston upside down.
Around the corner from the Bigelow
dovecot at Norwich lived Samuel G..
Adams, rich Bostonian, member of the
big wool firm and very blue-blooded. He
had married, as a second wife, Mrs.
Clapp, a wealthy Boston widow, who had
one son, fine, handsome young fellow,
William F. Clapp, freshman at Harvard.
Young Clapp knew young Bigelow,
and went around to see him. He also
saw Mrs. Bigelow's twin sister-and-
well, here was scion of Boston fam
lily and a Jordan & Marsh shopgirl.
The result could have been only what it
was. They fell in love.
Leaves College to Earn Living.
All during the summer the courtship
went on, and by the time young Clapp
was about to return to Boston with his
parents everything was ripe for another
romance. The young people said moth
ing about their affection to anyone,
and nobody bat the Bigelows knew of
it. Ellen Reise went back to her place
in the big store, and young Clapp went
back to Harvard, for, of course, he
was Harvard student.
But he could not wait to graduate, so
he left college at the close of his fresh
man year, little more than boy. He en-
tered a brokers' Office in State street, but
soon left there and obtained an impor-
tant position with the New England

to do more in the world. Machinery
was his trade, and he obtained posi-
ton at the WATERFOWL arsenal, where
he is still employed. He and his wife
brought up the girls in a pretty little
cottage at No. 70 Dexter avenue, Wa
tertown, and there the couple still live
with their two younger children.
When the twins became of an age
when they could work and thus add to
the family income, they obtained en-
ployment in that home of romance, the
dry goods establishment of Jordan,
Marsh & Co., where they were placed
at the glove counter. Over this estab-
lishment there should fly a flag bear
ing the coat-of-arms Of Cupid, two
hearts stuck together with an arrow,
for it is from Jordan's that so many
beautiful young shopgirls have
emerged the brides of Boston's bluest-
blooded young men.
The Reise sisters were among the
prettiest girls in Jordan's, and that is
saying a great deal for them. 1t is
like saying that young woman is
the prettiest girl on Fifth avenue.
They were at the same counter, looked
very much alike, and this fact and
their beauty made them much talked
about.
One day young man, Horatio
Bigelow-another good old Boston
name-and the son of Albert S. Bige-
low, the copper millionaire, saw the
girls. He was attracted by their
beauty, but managed to choose be-
tween them, and selected Mary as
the object of his alteration at first
sight.
The next thing was to get an
introduction, and this is not the
easiest matter when the girl is

knew, perhaps by experience, that
he could not win his way to

those with long cuffs; severe waists,
or fussy ones. Two points, though,
should be observed, no dropping at the

hoped this becoming style, founded on
good principles, will continue long.
