I hare always been treated with the utmost courtesy by jail cowboys, whether on the roundnp or in camp; and the few real desperadoes that I have seen were almost iierfecily polite. In- i i r ' ii.ii i i out. once. inis was on an occasion i a. r ' i . . . - l r-- - -v i when I had to pass the niht in a little frontier hotel where the barroom oc- rnnmlHiA whnlp lnuror flrv.r nn.l was in consequence the place where t ' w.sw ' wwa a aaaau I assailant was neither a cowboy nor a Is t bona fide "bad man," but a broad-hatted ruffian of cheap type, who had for the moment terrorized the other men in Ihe j barroom, these! Wing mostly I Wl sheep herders and small grangers. Ihe fact that I wore glasses, together th ray evident desire to avoidahht, apparently gave hiiu the impression is mistaken one that 1 would not resent an injury. The ttrst deadly affray that took place in bur town after the. cattlemen came in and regular settlement beui was between a Scotchman and a Min nesotsi man, the latter being one oi the small stockmen. Both had shoot ing records and each was a 'man with a vanetl past. llie fttotenman, a no ted bullv, was the more daring of the two, but' he wais much too hotheaded and overbearing to be a match for his 11 i a 1 gray-eyeti, naru-ieatureu roe. Alter a furious quarrel ; nd threats of violence, the Scotchman mounted his horse, aud, rifle in hand, rode to the door of the mod ranch perched on the brink oi the river bluff, where ihe American lived, and was instantly shot down by a., in. t i . i-; i ' il. tue latter jroui oeiiiuu ;t coruer ox iue i. -i i- t i . .. i i uuiiuin. jjaier on i trace orenea a ..i ,i . stepj ii rj'i ir iii i man t aia. ne count nave danced a minuet very well with si little practice l he scene reminded one of the ball where liret H-srtes heroine "iliinced down the middle with the man who shot Saudv MsiKe.v But though there were olentv of men i,re.nt each i" of whom hitd shot his luckless Sam Mstgee. yet there wsts no Lily of Pov erty bint. Ihere is 'an old and true bonier saving that "the frontier is hard on women and cattle." There art some striking exceptions; but, asa rule, the grinding toil and hardship of a lift passed in the wilderness, or on its out- skirts, drive the beauty and bloom from a woman's face. :' long before her youth has. left her. By, the time she is a mother she is sinewy and angular, with thin, compressed lips and furrow ed, sallow brow. nut she mis a hun dred qualities that atone for the grace spouse off pring. She is f.iithf'ul to her hus- bstnd, and, like the true American tli.tt she is, ex.icts faithfulness in return. Peril cannot daunt her, nor hardship and povertv appal her. W hether on the mountains in a log hut chinked with moss, in si sod or adobe hovel on the desolate prairie, or in a mere teiu- porary csimp, where the white-topH'd wagons hsive been drawn up in a pro tection-giving circle near some spring, she is equally at home.

White men and red men from far and ' ' near heard of the beantv of Virmnm ' Dare, and came to lay themselves and1, their possessions at her feet. To all of them she turned a deaf ear. Suddenly she disappeared: Search w s made nil oTer Roanoke Island and the adjoining ' 1 mainland, but to no tinrpoWs not - a trace of Virginia Dare could discov-.j ered. . There were many deer on Roa--noke Island, and hunters noticed abont) the time Virginia, Dare disappeared that one of the largest herds was al . ways led by a beautiful snow-white T doe.
