1t was the first night of 1.-THE Nav

House, and, despite the white coat Of
snow that was being sifted over the
city, the theater was filling rapidly.
Among the later arrivals was young
woman of the upper world, exquisitely
gowned, breathing cultivation, yet with
the frank air and lively eye of nice
boy, now bold. now shy, but always
vivid. Her seat was In one Of the low

place, apparently for her delayed es-

The young woman had come alone
and had sat alone till the orchestra
was nearly through Its overture. Then
the vacant seat found an occupant.
He came striding down the aisle, a
splendid specimen Of man. Hundreds

riding boots into which corduroy trou-
sers fitted snuglv, the worn felt hat held
negligently In a great leather cuffed
hand, the handkerchief knotted loosely
around the tanned throat, proclaimed
more loudly than words that he was a
denizen Of the COW country.
