Deacon Jim alone appeared in his or» dinery everyday clothing. “Why don‘t you fix up. deacon." some one asked. “sud do the honors of the oc- casiou?" "I don‘t promise to make a fool of my- self." Jim replied. "by parading before Miss Nowell like a circus clown. [‘31: not so anxious to show ofi what little clothing I own. and l guen she's seen better many a time. “Humph! Have you fellows got an idea that Miss Nowell is going to take nny notice of you? It’s hardly likely she‘s going to come out here and get dazzled by such common cow punchers with u lot of gaudy trappings. i ain‘t fool enough to make a spectacle of myself and give Miss Nowell a chance to laugh at me, you bet!" When the carriage bearing Miss Rose arrived at the ranch. the cowboys. with the exception of the deacon, stood about the door. esch one “with his best foot forward," anxious to be seen by the young lady and hopeful of making an impression on her heart. That night when Jim came in from the plains they gathered about him, in- tent on singing the praises of Rose's loveliness “1 tell you, deacon.” Anson said, "you just ought to seen her; i never new a women so beautiful in all my life." “1 don‘t doubt her beauty." the deacon replied. “but what good Would it have done me to have seen her? She's not go ing to care anything for us." “Maybe you know about that.” acid Anson, “and maybe you don’t. If you had seen her smile when she saw us, you might think differently from what you i do new." “You. and she was looking right smart , son. "i noticed that." “Humphl” said Anson. “She was look- ing as straight at me as she could look." “She wasn't!" excluihiod Ab angrily. "Hold on now,“ said Jim, “ll. isn‘t worth while for you to light over that i can easily hollow iimt she'd ‘a‘ emit-ii, v whichever one of you she was looking at. when she saw the clothes you hml on. it was enough to make her smile. i‘m sure." Ab and Anson muttered something. then went away. and the subject was ‘ dropped. From that time on they viewed end] other as rivals and were never on good terms again. A month passed. Miss Nowell proved a very sensible young lady. and though she had grown up under the influences of the highest refinement she adopted herself readily to her new surroundiuge. She treated her fother’a employees' with the kindest confidcrution, laughing! and chatting with them with perfect freedom. little suspecting what stress they placed upon every word and every ripple of inughter that fell from her lips. Anson and Ah both grew more sun: guino and hopeful as the days went by, and each in his own heurt came to fool assured that he was winning his wny into Roads love. Dent-on Jim bud continued on from the first in the even tenor of his way. He nevor thrust himself forwurd at all «never made uny effort to gen“ admis- sion to Rose‘s society, but if anything rather seemed to avoid her. A change had come over the deacon too. Always serious. he had become al: most melancholy. He liked to mope about alone or sit for hours gazing thoughtfully into space. [lo was in love. though he tried hard to concord tho fact from himself. and for all the world would not have admitted it to any one else. ’ ' One morning when the men were pre- paring to begin the work of the day a di wits arose between Annoy. null Ab, an . us it grew warmer and more bitter the former said: “When i become a. partner on this ranch. you'll go.

"Why, Rose Newoli wouldn't have you if you were the last man on carthl" “My notion is you'll both see that you are making fools of yourselves," old Bar- ton observed. “Mien Bone will never have either of you. if i had to name anybody on this ranch thstshe was most likely to marry. l‘d say it was Dcawn Jim.” There was a universal roar of laugh- ter at that last remark. and every one seemed to think it a good joke. “Why.” said Anson.

How the deacon ever came to say it no one could surmise, and even he could never account for such boldness and au- dacity. “ ies Nowell." hessid, “to do you a service is a glorious reward of itself. To save your life, believe me. is a privilege worth living for.” Then. blushing at his own temerity, he arose to leave the room. but she held out her hand to check him. Soon it became noiscd about that the deacon and Miss Newail were to be men ried in a few days and that the deacon was to become a half owner of the ranch. This information was not pleasant to Anson and Ab, but bitter as it was they had to swallow it. "1 can tell you how it came about." said old Barton. “She's a girl of seen. and it is not what a man says or the way he looks that takes with her. but it’s the way he does.

Another got something neut- ly wrapped in impel“. He took it to a grocer. told him that it was a. wedding fee, that be hell not opened it end did not know what it was. but would give it to him. “sight unseen." for a water. melon. The grocer agreed. the dominic seized his melon, and the grocer found in the paper a silver 3 cent piece. Ono groom, as he passed out with his bride. threw into n workbnsket on old pair of gloves, saying to the minister‘s wife that she might have them. The minister's wife looked at them with scorn and con- tempt. A few days later, iiowover, wish- ing to do some gardening, she thought the despised old gloves might be useful after all. She attempted to put them on ‘ and found a difficulty. in every one of the 10 fingers there was a to bill. -â€"Tren- He Had to (lo.
