To pass on. We have the principals
before us. | ask you, friends, to which
would you unhesitatingly award the
palm of victory? To Eunice Virgins or
Lois Grady? And you would be right.
On the face of it, luckless Eunice never
had the ghost of chance.
But did this simple child of nature de-
spair? Did she resign herself to tears and
permit the other to carry off the prize?
Nay, she did not; you little know women
so to think. No sackcloth and ashes for
Eunice-she girded up and got busy.
She employed craft
Which brings into our faithful narrative
two chunky black mules, dubbed Mus
keteer and Teddy respectively. They
were Eunice's absolute property, and the
only individual | ever heard envy her
possession was half-breed cook, who once

Old Man Virgins bought the mules
from Scotch rancher near Douglas, and
gave them to Eunice on her nineteenth
birthday.

His daughter had them hitched to

ranch down the valley. Luckily, it was
forty miles long, for Musketeer and
Teddy took a long breath and then ran
away.

Miss Virgins placidly, bracing herself.
The blackboard took the ford of the
San Pedro in smother of spray, and
went careening toward Mexico. She let
them run. 1t would have been impossible
to stop the pair, and she wasted no
strength in the effort, but contented her
self with keeping them in the clear There

And when they brlng his body home bari

"Well?' queried her father.
4They're little bit rough and don't

ported. "But it wouldn't surprise me if
they'd make sweet team"
They could be ridden to the saddle also,

aboard either of them with impunity; but

EY theme this morning. friends,
AH is taken from the Book of
Youth, and the text: Are
Il orte,1c

WOllOh OIL VI VA
Are women artful? Are they, or are
they not, craftier than the nimble fox?
Has the lisping, blue-eyed darling who
prattles at play in the sand-pile, or pulls
with innocent, infantile glee the tail of the
neighbours pup-has she latent resources
of guile that surpass those of the furry
denizens of the forest? Has she, in
word, got any two-legged adult who ever
walked dashed to the mast in subtlety?
Has she or has she not? For the child is
mother to the woman.
To put this query in yet another form:
Would the cunning of shiny-pated
bachelor, aided howsoever by his stealthy
sense of danger, avail him aught against
the sweet wiles of maiden who took it
into her head that he had nice eyes?
AS in dream he hears Because accept
ably rendered by the soprano soloist of the
First Baptist Church, and they are walk
ing back down the aisle between rows of
grinning, weeping relatives. You know
what mean.
Our subject thus preached, let us APP
proach its discussion in spirit of humil-
ity, of seeking after truth. Let us con-
slider specific case.
THERE was woman of Arizona named
Eunice Virgins, who lived hard by the
city of Bizbee Her father had lands and
chattels in plenty, and his cattle grazed
hundred hills. In fact, Old Man Virgins
owned about everything in those parts
that wasn't nailed down.
Eunice was nineteen, and only passing
fair to look upon; which was a grievous
thing, inasmuch as she was pitted against
soft daughter of Eve just returned from
a girls college in the North, who was of
a great and wondrous beauty, and skilled
in every art that can beguile the heart.
Her name it was Lois, derived from the
baptsmal cognomen of Sally 10, and she
was daughter to Lands Grady, a Southern
gentleman who had been too proud to
work during twenty years, but contrived
to get in on the ground floor of a copper
mine and woke up one fine morning the
possessor of cool million. Having long
been poor and necessarily respectable,
Lands tried manfully to efface that
memory.
Study these two carefully, friends.
Weigh well their merits and motives
without levity, with favor to none. On
the one hand, an untutored girl of direct,
masculine processes of thought, brusque
speech, and shy soul; on the other, a
lovely creature whose power lay in her
seeming weakness, who was feminine to
her pink finger-tips. Eunice was sun
burned and vigorous; her rival a lily in
flesh and blood. They were about equal
in fortune.
WHAT marvellous thing is the heart
of woman Both of these ladies,
friends, loved tall, blond young man
then inhabiting those regions, but a native
of Maine. Both fell for this big dub, who
was an engineer in the mines. He had
long eyelashes and languid, indifferent
manner, and there was something about
him that was sure death to girls between
eighteen and twenty-five. After that
most of them get to taking other things
into their calculations: they speculate
shyly on whether his business will hold
