A bright moonlight titixht mid n gay
party. Peals of laughter in all keys float
through the Km ii freely air a- sleigh load
after sleigh-load chive away from a
brightly lit mansion, until the street
seems rilleil with the da.hing sleighing
party.
One, a small slv 11 like i nation drawn
by a single bi n k hoi-e. e .nls the patty.
Its occupant are Mi. II hold (ircyslone
.indhis .Utcr. M'.ss Nellie. Mr. Ooy-sto-ie,
after wrapping hi. sister in tlie fur
robes, devotes himself to putting his
hor-o at a speed that promises to leave
the remainder of the pai ty in the distance.
For some reason, Mr. (jroystono does not
semi to share the exulierant spirits of the
r- -t of the party. On the contrary, he
seems a good deal put out, to say the
least, and his u-ually gooel humored
countenance is overcast. His heavy
lilac k brown me drawn together, and in
spite of the sweeping mustache one can
note the firm expression that lurks around
the mouth.
Altogether he looks very grim. Miss
Nellie thinks a she turns herself ami
surveys him.
She is very small herself, and bring
biific'd to the rliin in wraps, it is a wink
of time to turn herself sufficiently to sec
his faro. Noting Ilia expression, she bc
V'lii cautiously :
Harold, arn't you driving the horse

hind." 'We will arrive all the sooner for nip
per, si-," was the reply.
"O. well, but the oysters are not put
,ui to cook yet, so w e needn't hurry on
t'int score."
Harold reluctantly pulled up his horse
a little, and, looking back, he growled.
'That fool, Potiglass, will dawdle
c nough for the whole party. It's a grand
wonder he would consent to drive a load.
How vcr. if my Lady Blanche wanted to
( i in a load he would not objei t. It's a
mv-tery to ine how as sensible a girl as
Hiuiirhe Leslie ran tolcrab' such an idiot
in he r presence. Hut, p-haw, there is no
mystery about il. If a fi How has a full
purse it makes no clilTrrruc c whethrr he
possesses any brains or not. ll'lang,
.lim." slapping the horse "wivagely with
til" rein--.
Harold, did you a-k Blanche to go
ilh you.'"
' No. by Jove, I didn't. I am not
f.itv such a fool as that. My Lady
llliinclie will find that she cannot twist
every one around her ringer like Doug
lass." 'I don't think you need be so hard on
Blam he. She isn't era.y after rich peo
ple at all. We arc m it rich, and I'm
sure she is always goodness itself, though
you do put on awful airs and treat her
like she was the veriest stranger. As for
Mr. Douglass, almost e vciyono likes him,
if he is n littto soft. Hut Blanche isn't
the least bit in love with him."
"Nn, not in love with him, hut his
pocket book. 1 never supposed she was
in love with him."
'Harold (rreystone, I am ashamed of
you. You know there Isn't a word of
troth in what you say. There, I am lad
we have got there at last. I feel chilly
in spite of wraps."
Hirold lifted his charge from his
sleigh and pUced her on the sti ps of the
hotel, where the party have planned a
dance, to bo followed by an oyster sup
per. The other sleighs drove up, and
directly the holed i olive with the merry
party. The evening is heartily enjoyed
by all, with the exception, perhaps, of
flarold Greystone. The sight of Miss
Leslie smilingly accepting the attentions
offered by young Douglas rendered the
evening anything but pleasant to him. It
W true he had no right to complain.
Nellie was right when she said his own
jrida had erected the barrier between
thero. The fact that while Miss Leslie's
parents are grown wealthier within late
years, his own had grown poorer, was
obstacle enough to Harold. He did not
fancy ranie of fortune-hunter, lie
told himself she had totally frrgotten the
old days when they -were on an equal
footing, and, no doubt,' she was ashamed
to remember her preference I for himself.
But he would not preiumo on .that now.
Douglass might win .her, and ' he would
not lay a straw in his way.
All this and a great deal more ran
through his head as hegaily talked and
danced with a par'iru nr rival of
Hlani'he's, who seemed determined to
lning him to her feet.
When at lat the party concluded to
torn their steps homeward, Harold seized
his own particular charge from a crowd
of hooded unci niutlted fiuns and speed
ily had her in the sleigh, completely en
veloped in the robes.
"Now, sis, remember you are not to
move or hardly speak on the way home,
rise you will be laid up with an awful
rohl ami have a red nose, and thrn you
can not sec your dear Knd "when he ar
rives to-morrow. After dium ing so mm h
and rating a warm suil tor you must be
doubly careful, and if I hear a snre.c,
home you go for the re, of the winter,
my child;" w;hic h c hef rful remarks he
rmphasicd by a gentle shaking.
"Yon need not be absolutely dumb,
.lust nod your head to signify your ap
proval of my reniaiks. Did you have a
good ti.-ic ?'
A perceptible moving back and forth
was his answer.
"Yes, every one had a splendid time,
myself in particular. I entertained my
self watching .Douglass plav the clown for
Miss Leslie's aqiincmcnt. He did it to
perfection. Hv George. I should have
thought so many sweet snub's would have
made her sick. Shows how much a
woman can stand' when she makes up her
mind to it. and I suppose her mind is
made up, don't yon '."
A decided negative is indicated by his
companion's movements.
"Humph! I firmly believe she intends
to marry Softhead ibis own nana for
young Douglassi sooner or later, probably
sooner. Why don't y" think she does,
sis? You can unloosen that shawl or
scarf, or whatever it is, enough to let me
hear the sound of your voice. I'm getting
lonesome. What (lid you say."'
"I don't think Blanche, likes Mr.
Douglass very well."' was the barely audi
ble reply.
"The deuce yon don't! . well! but
you are mistaken. 1 know. Dunl she
show him all sorts of favors., (Inuring
wi'h him repeatedly, even giving him
the dance she used to always fjive to me
and that I should have e n joyed so much
to -night'"
"Did you ask her for il ?' murmured
the figure ut his side.
"Ask her for it J Not I. Though, to
tell the truth, Nellie, I was awfully
tempted to. It she had vouchsafed me
one friendly glance I woujcl iitidoulitcdly
have made a fool of myself."
Some violent emotion sermed to be
agitating his companion, and her strug
gles attracted the attention of Mr. Groy
stone; he shook her vehemently.
"Now, Nellie, I positively forbid you
taking off a single shawl," and he at
tempted to readjust In r wraps, but the
lady resisted his well-intended rffoifs
and in a trice had torn the veil from her
face and displayed to his astonished gae
the laughing countenance of Blanche
Leslie.
'Pray, go on with your remarks, Mr.
(irevstoiie. Your style, though a little
peculiar, is nevertheless highly entertain
ing. 1 don't know when I haw en joyed
a ride so nun h. Aren't ,J'ou afraid we
shall upset if we don't keep to the road?"
for the horse was following its own sweet
".v ill and meandering along tho roadside
in an aimless fashion, while his driver
stared at his companion in utter ania.e
ment. "What an utter idiot I have been,"
his power of speech coming back to him
by jerks. "Where is Nellie, and how on
earth did you get here, Blanchei"
"O, Nellie wanted to ride: home with
the load I think she was tired of your
company, sir and I hadn't the heart to
refuse her when she wanted me to take
her place."
"And you have hint listening to all
my idiotic talk ! What must you think of
me .' ('an you ever forgive me for the way
I have talked, and," laying his hand on
her arm, "tell me, Blanche, that you
loathe and despise that fe llow Douglass."'
"But I do not loathe and despise Mr.
Douglass. On the contrary, I consider
him one of the plcasantcst young men I
know. But what do you want to talk of
Mr. Douglas fort Arc jou so infatuated
with him that you cannot talk of anything
ehe?"
"I infatuated with him! I heartily de
test the man. I wanted to knock him
down every time he looked at you to
night. Blanche, darling," slipping his
arm adroitly around her waist, "tell me,
do you care even a little for me? Are you
perfectly indifferent to me, when I have
worshiped you all my lifef
"It would serve you right if I hated
you. and I don't we why I don't, after
the way you have treated me never to
come near me or sienk to me at all,"
with a most reproachful glance.
"But you clon't hate me, do you
Blanche?"
"No I don't," she confessed.
Mr. Greystone's horse lagged in a most
unaccountable fashion the last half of the
way home, but every thidg must have been
very harmonious, for the first time Mr. j
(Jreystone met Mr. Douglass, he hailed
him with such hearty good humor as 1 1
fill that gentleman with wonder, and In
marveled greatly what had come over that
gruff fellow, Oreystunc. "By Jove, Ik
never used to hardly sjH'ak to a follow."

Origin and I'se of Neckties.
The very word cravat (derived from
the Croats, a regiment of whom, all era-
rated, arrived in Paris in l(iOO) h,u. been
nearly lost. We no longer wrap up out 1
throats in thirty-two ways, which could
be taught in sixteen lessons. Cravats, 1
even in Paris, disappeared before the
revolution, when citiens named Brutus :
or Timoleon wore their free necks bare,
which, also, was convenient when it ranie
to being guillotined. But, as the terror I
went out, c ravats came in, and mounted
as high as the human ears, while the
overlapped the exquisite chin. In this
reaction the fashionable neck could not
be turned round, but ficti. Iissnlle's life
saved by his c ravat, which stopped a
pistol bullet, in 1N15 the English had
"their so called victories" printed on
kerchiefs, which they wore round their
vainglorious nee ks even in Pari.. Napo
leon changed his lin k, and lost Waterloo,
by we aling a white cravat in place of the
black necktie (twice round) which
adorned his person at Lodi, Marengo,
Austerlit, Wagram, unci other successful
encounters. The most illustrious way of
tying the cravat was in "the tiordian
knot." much like that still worn by poo
pie who wear pins. There were also the
Irish, the sentimental (as in modern even
ing dress), the American, the Oriental
(like a turban), and the mathematical
knot, which defies description. The
'Ball" knot was not a knot, but a sim
pler arrangement, fixed by pins to the
braces or fastened to the shirt. No one
under 40 wore the "gastronomic" cravat,
which "untirs of itself in case of apo
plexy'' -a most valuable arrangement.
The knot Colin is still worn by Frcnch
inin, the ''hunting knot" is like a cork
screw, tho Italian is run through a ring.
No one who respected himself could trav
el with lcs. than eighty cravats ami an
iron for smoothing them with. Such
was "the number and hardness" as the
prayer book says of the laws and regu
lations of tho cravat under the Inpp)
reign of Louis XVIII. and in the consul
ship of Bruumicl. hwijiutiu'.
A Brazilian Swell.
Brazilian titles are not hereditary, bul
' for three generations the eb si endants of
! nobleme n are entitled to the appellation
of "inosa fidalgo," or ' yciiing gentle
man,'' and enjoy the rights ami privi
leges of their noble progenitors. Thesr
privileges consist mainly o being allowed
bylaw to "put on more style" than or
dinary individuals, If a "iiiosh Hdalgo"
wants to enter the army ho can do so as
a cadet, and is entitled to near a star on
his coat sleeve. When he goes to the
palace he can wear his hat until he comes
into the presence of the Kmperor. and
while1 ordinary otlieers have to hitch up
their swords before entering the Imperial
portals, he can go in with his weapon
jangling and thumping along the marble
floors. This privilege of wearing
a hat in the bouse and
making a racket in the Emperor's
presence is highly prized by the youth of
Brazil. Then, too. a "mosa fidalgo"
c annot be arrested except by a spec ial
warrant from some high official I have
forgotten which one ami when he goes
on a "racket" and breaks street lamps
and windows the police cannot arrest him
and the police justice docs not- give him
a lecture with his fine the next morning.
Instead of that he is arrested with solemn
pomp and a long warrant, and is confined
in the " Place of Honor" in the prison.
When a "niosa fidalgo" loaves the c oun
try he goes to the palace and says "good
bye" to the Emperor, and that monarch,
awfully bored, graciously permits him to
purchase a ticket by the first steamer.
But in order to enjoy all these great priv
ileges one must not only be a "mosa fi
dalgo" but must take out a patent as
such. Then he ean have the title printed
on his visiting cards and is a recognized
"swell." N. Y. Trihuiif.

Plot uresque Scene's on a Mon
tana Cattle Range,
How the Animals are Counted, Identified,
and Sop.iratel,
In a letter from Fort KoogV Montana,
to the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette a
correspondent w rites entertainingly about
the cattle business and life on tin- ranges.
He shs; In receiving, say, thousand
head of "pilgrim" cattle from the states
("of value not loss than Jj.iHiiii, brand
ing them at the stoc k yards with an X on
the left hip, for instance, and turning
them loose upon the laiige the owner
c ithor undeistands the business or has an
unswerving trust in Providence. A por
tion of his herd may be seen oi i asionallv
eluring the season by himself or his cow
boys, but other portions may drift away
fifty or a hundred miles, lonielimcs more,
before the next "loiind up." Even linn
it may be impossible to find them all."
The ranges are die id. ( into "ilitiii Is."
and each distric t is worked by a srperale
company of cow-boys, numbering any
where from twenty to sixtv i more occa
sionally), ace circling to the importance of
the district. All who have range i attic
within tho limits of that district are rep
resented, either personally or otherwise,
in the round-up party. Every member
of which exerc ises his ability for the
advantage of his neighbor as we ll as for
himself. Thedistiict nuty bo two bundle d
miles long and scventy-tive miles wide,
and the cow-boys move from six tec ten
miles each evening, gather the lattle
from the hills surrounding the camp, the
next morning divide the stock into
bum lies, each bearing the brand of a sep
arate outfit, brand the calves with tin
marks borne by the mothers they follow,
and, in cases win re the ownership of the
calves ean not be determined, they, in
this territory, receive the brand of the
outfit that hold- the range upon which
they are found. Now, in the district
whi'ie those "X" cattle live the represen
tatives of that brand wil s"e as far as
possible, to the holding and biandingof
the stock belonging to their outfit. Then
the cattle that are disposed of will be
thrown into herd , arcoreling to the lo
cality of their ranges, and driven toward
their regular graing grounds. Those
that belong in the vicinity of the camp
will be left there, and . the "rmind-iip"
party moves on.
The above has spec ial n b rem o to tin
spring round-up. which lakes from sixty
to ninety days. In addition to the fall
"round-up," the been- are "cut out"
separated from the other stork--and
driven by member ol tlii.ir respective
outfits to the points of s'iiiin, nt. Il in at
these shipping points that the value of

the brands of every iininnl shipped from
his point, and if some ..f il,., X" caltlc
are being shipped w ith lliebc i-vcs of some
other party he notes the fai I, reports to
the Secretary of the Sto( k Commission

Thus are range entile looked alter, and
though it may take nu-s for the "X"

detectives are equally instrumental in
furthering tho success of this great .ys

have already been recorded in l he i Ilic e
of the Territorial Treasurer al Helena.
Even the Indians have their brands, and,
with the multiplicity of devices that are
used, under the ae ts of Isiiil, t,-, di-iin

them all in mind. In the effort to rid
Montana of dangerous w ild animals bouu
ties were paid during 1R04 on more than
5,000 wolves, l.oOO coyotes, fiOU bears
and 100 mountain lions. During
the bounties were si ill greater.
