A GOOD CATCH.

1t was pleasant afternoon in a vii
iage In western Nevada. A group OF
young men were playing a rough game
Of ball In the middle of the wide, sandy
street, but the sidewalks were almost
deserted. This rendered every passer-
by conspicuous to the motley crowds of
Indians, Cinnamon, cowboys, miners
and other Adventures that lounged In
front Of the shops and barrooms of the
main thoroughfare.
A tall young man and dainty, sweet
faced girl came out of the hotel and
took their way along the sidewalk,
their dress and manner plainly pro-
claiming them to be Fasteners and
tenderfoots." for the young fellow
wore a silk hat, and a long prince

was distinctly curled up at the ends
The pair walked unconcernedly along
the street, the target of every eye, but
all unconscious of creating a sensation.
for the crowd, on account Of the sweet
faced girl. endeavored to suppress
somewhat Its deep and heartfelt dis
approval Of her companions dress and
appearance.
Suddenly one Of the players In the
street, husky young cowboy, gave the
ball tremendous swing; 1t accidental
ly slipped from his grasp and went
straight for the pretty girls face.
: The player gave cry of horror, the
crowd gasped and caught its breath.
In an instant all would be over with
the pretty girl. But quick as thought
her escort sprang forward, threw out
his left hand. deftly caught the red
hot" ball not foot from her face. and
lightly tossed 1t back to the player.
There was a moment Of dazed al
lence; then from every motley group
all up and down the street came a
burst Of hearty, spontaneous applause.
Loud and long 1t continued. The young
man lifted his hat, the pretty girl. the
color rushing back to her cheeks, smiled
and waved her handkerchief, and aa
they disappeared from view down the
dusty roadway. the tall hat and the
Iong-tailed coat were freely forgiven.
