I'm goin' to tell you story. not
because It applies to Lieutenant Bur.
rcll"--
"Cf course" said the girl.
but Just to show you what mean
II was good long spell ago. when
was ut Fort Supply, which was the
frontier In them days. Ike this is now.
We freightcd In from Dodge Ci;y with
bull teams, and It was sure the fringe
Of the frOntlcr-nU women, no society,
nothln' much except fort. lot of In
juns ana few officials with their
wives and families. Now, them kind
of places Is all right for married mon,
but they're tough s!eddiu' for single
ones. and after awhile Teller gets
awful careless about himself. He
seems to so backward and run down
mighty quick whca he gets away from
civilization and his people aud rcstau-
rants and such things. lie gets plumb
reckless and fUrsetful of what's whnt.
There was captain with us, n young
Teller that looked like the lieutenant
here and good deal the same sort
NtlAlll'ltu uHl 'ulN ull

d family and all that, and. what's
l.. IRE, captain ut twenty-five. Now.
our head frelghter was married to u
sGuaw, or lcastways he had been, but
In them days nobody thought much Of
It any more than they do up here now,
and particularly because he'd had n
government contract for long while
ran big gang Of men aud critters aud
had made n lot OF money. Likewise
he had girl. who lived at the fort and
was mighty nice to look ut and restful
to the eye after year or 80 OF cactus
trees and mesquite und buffalo grass
She was twice rs nice aud twice us
pretty as the women ut the post, and
as for honeywell her dad could have
bought and sold all the officers In
lump, but they and their wives looked
down on her, and she didn't mix with
them none whatever. To make II
short, the captain married her. Seem
cd like he got disrcgarlful OF every
thing. and the hunger to have wom-
an just overpowered him. She'd been
courted by every single man for 400
'iI'ies arounu. Sne was pretty anu iuii
