Mary REESE. He told his family about

any Of the specialized, erudite, blue
blooded Back Bay young persons who,
in his family's estimation, would
make the sort of a bride he should
have. He knew his family thorough

tlemen. The county law 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 &c 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 nor 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 80,
1904. Five of these were murderers and
1856 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 a
train robbery or a 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 q month, or a total for the entire
force of TO- $40 miles. The rangers have
worked in conjunction with the Ave
stock sanitary board and the Arizona
Cattle Growers association, and they
have restored hundreds of lost cattle,
sheep and goats. SmuSglers. Chinese
unlawfully in the country, and persons
who sell whisky to Indians are also
under their ban.

A Common Occurrence Which Hub Society Refuses
to Get Used To-Wealth Looks for Beauty

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 e~scapade
has beaten all other efforts, and has
loft society in a 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 CORE
spondent of the New York World you
would think hat Boston would be
used to such an occurrence by this
time. Harrison Grey Otis started 1t
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 ever
HOughton S.
But Boston simply won't get used
to it; it insists or 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.

usual characters; Harvard man, tall,
handsome, blue-blOoded, broker, rich.

but a better father, sc when he could
he got out Of the army and came east
to do more in the world. Machinery
was his trade, and he obtained a posi-
ton at the Watertown arsenal, where
he is still employed. He and his wife
brought up the girls in a pretty little
cottage at No. 20 Dexter venue, 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
blooded young men.
The REESE sisters were among the
prettiest girls in Jordan's, and that is
saying a great deal for them. It is
like saying that a 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 a 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
a Jordan girl. Young Bigelow
knew, perhaps by experience, that
he could not win his way to
Mary Reise's heart by any Irritation
over the counter. So he wisely went
