The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1905-11-24

" and one that she had never before
Deen called upon to fill. Rather shy
naturally, and her sole acquaintance
with the usages Of society limited to
the few people among whom she had
oeen brought up, to be called upon to
entertain q smartly dressed and Gifted
Young mar was a decidedly e expe-
rience. Albert saw her embarrassment
and with true gallantry at once set
about making her feel at ease.
Please do not feel that you must try
% entertain me, Miss Terry" he said.
aOnly show me your pictures and tell
me about them"
Il am almost ashamed to-" she re-
piled timidly. Father says you are an
artist yourself
ooh, no, Miss Terryv' exclaimed AL
bert quickly. HE misunderstood me.
I only sketch a little and once in awhile
make an effort to pa a sketch that is
Of interest on canvas. All / can tell is
when one looks lifelike. For instance"
pointing to 1t, that shipwreck scene.
1t is wonderfully well done. Did you
paint 1t from a real wreckY"
Telly colored. mo, SIR" she answer
ed, that was all lone from fathers de-
scription Of a wreck that took place of
the point one winter when l was a
baby" Then, as IL to check further
questions. she stepped to a closet,
brought him a small unframed picture
and added, There is n / have just
finished"
1t was a view of a tall cliff with a
low shelf Of rock at its base, over which
the waves were breaking. Albert rec
ognized 1t at once. why, that is the
very point" he exclaimed, that / was
sketching yesterday when my boat
drifted away. Did you paint it from a
broad fat rock on the west side Of the
cover
"Oh, yes, that is the spot" replied
Telly, looking pleased. 1T is shady
there, and / used to row up and paint
in the afternoon. 1t Is strange you
went to the same place. Father told
me about finding you,v she said. "and
hat you were turned around. You
must have had a hard tramp, for it's
all of two miles from where you were
to this cove. and an awful tangle all
the way, he said"
q II was decidedly turned when he
came to my rescue" Albert replied,
land the sun seemed to be setting in
the east. 1t was very kind of your ia
Their to take care of me the way he has,
and I shall never forget It,"
1t is not hard for two young people
Of opposite sex to get acquainted when
each desires to entertain the other and
they have at least one well defined
taste In common. Albert did not talk
much, but adroitly induced Telly to do
most Of 1t. In the hour they passed
together be discovered that two Inn
pulses were nearest her heart-the first
and strongest her devotion to Uncle
Terry, and after that a desire to paint.
II do not ever hope to do much" she
admitted rather pathetically. Il never
have taken lessons and maybe never
shall. l would not think Of asking ia
Their to let me 60 away, and all lean
do is to work blindly. I often sit for
hours trying to put things ! see on can
vas, only to fail utterly and begin all
over again. / should not mind 1t il /
could see that I made any progress. but
I do not. l can't let 1t alone. though,
for the most happy hours I have arr
when I'm painting"
"You certainly have perseverance,
responded Albert encouragingly, land
the pictures you have shown me seem
very lifelilKe. l wish l could do az
well. You have done good work for
one self taught as you are, and you
have no reason to be discouraged"
Then Uncle Terry came In and an
nounced dinner. 1t was rather a state
affair for the Terry household. and the
table bore their best dinner service,
with a vase Of flowers in the center.
II hope ye feel hungry" said Uncle
Terry az he passed d well filled plate
to Albert. FER we live plain. an it's
good appetite as makes good vittles.
s'pose ye are used to purity high livin'."
'n whatever tastes good is good" re.
piled Albert. and, turning to Aunt Lis
", he added. This fried lobster beats
anything / have tasted for a long
time" sa
When the meal was owe he handed
the box Of cigars he had brought to his
host with the remark. please accept
these, Mr.. Terry. and when you smoke
them think of the forlorn fellow you
found by the wayside."
1--WE got to leave y- to the tender
MARCHES OF the wimmin folks" said On.
