he would be only too happy to do SO.
He was seeing good deal OF the men
of the country. but had thus far met
few Of the women. He was assured
that the young lady, Miss Iver. was
the daughter of wealthy ranchman,
and had been to Denver on shopping
tour and was returning to her home.
This pleased Ned very much. and he
anticipated bit of a Irritation with
Miss liver. How 1t would surprise his

Ned was introduced to Miss Iver at
the coach door by the man who had
asked him to escort her and was
somewhat disappointed In her Her
walk was awkward, and her voice was
not refined, However, she was wo-

her If she wouldn't like to SIT outside,
but she declined on the ground that
the sun freckled her. so they entered
the coach, Ned taking a seat beside
her.
The young woman was disposed to
be quiet and uncommunicative during
the early part OF the journey, but as
one by one the passengers left the
coach, none others taking their places,
she thawed and took pleasure in CIV
ing her escort information about the
country, occasionally pointing out OBJ
jects of interest. Ned, warming up, |
began to pay her compliments as he
had been used to paying them to girls
at home, but she was not used to |
them, or did not seem to know how
to take them: but she evidently was
trying to make 1t appear that she had
been paid compliments before
She told Ned that she expected her
father to meet her at the junction OF
the stage road and another leading to
the ranch. When the coach reached
the junction Ned expected to see a
four mule team and a four seated coun-
.ry wagon. But he saw nothing. Mel

took coaches. He was now in the
land where travellers talked about road
agents, where those In the towns spoke
incidentally Of the last gun fight, or
how much money had been won or lost
By some prominent citizen at faro.
Ned. who believed the only way to
learn the manners and customs of
people was to make their acquaint-
ance, told everybody that he had come
out to see the country and meant to
see 1t thoroughly. He had no stuck
up notions about him; not he. He felt
as much at home with stage driver
as he would with the veriest dandy at
home. The consequence of this be-
havior was that he made friends in

One evening at the Antelope--a tav-
ern. gin mill and gambling house COM
bined-it was suggested by a man who |
was showing Ned the town, that he
invest few dollars at faro, just to |
see how it worked. Ned looked at his
friend, smiled slapped him on the
back, winked and said:
Not much. I'm a young man from
the city, and you can't come faro on
me-"
You're dead right, pard," said the
other, "but what meant was to invest
So to see the game. just as you'd spend
the same for round of drinks"
The man left Ned, but after awhile
returned and asked IL he proposed to

Ned said he did; whereupon his friend
asked IL he would mind taking. charge

Some of the very prettiest dresses of
the present season are made with a
yelling Of black chiffon or ninon over
completely made underdress. Take
the following as an instance:
A thin, soft gray silk is cut square
on the bodice. the sides coming half
way up from shoulder to neck. and
finished with bands of wide. cream
colored lace, which meet at the waist
back and front, and. also in front, are
continued in a line down the center
10 the hem. This appears to describe
an evening bodice. but it is now COW
cred with a single fold of black ninon
or chiffon, usually cut away around
the neck and left cOllarless
In the dress we are describing the
waist is in its normal position. and
nothing prettier can he imagined than
the look of the lace through the veil
OF thin diaphanOus black. Sometimes
the top is finished with a line of very
narrow lace insertion. often called
beading; at others it is left absolutely
plain. so cleverly hemmed that the
stitches are invisible. The effect upon
a white. round throat is remarkably
becoming.
