AN IDYL OF THE " HT."
It is sunset at the HT ranch. Four or
five cowboys sit gloomily about, outsido
the ranch house, awaiting supper. The
Mexican cook has just begun his fragrant
task, so a half hour must elapse before
these Arabs are fed. Their ponies are
turned into the wire pasture, their big
Colorado saddles repose astride the low
fsis fence which surrounds the house,
and it is evident that their riding is over
for the day.
Why are they gloomy? Not a boy of
them can tell. One is from Princeton,
too. They have been partners and com
paneros and "worked" the HT cattle to
gether for months and nothing ever came
in misunderstanding or cloud. The
ranch house is their home and theirs has
been tho unity of brothers.
A week ago a pretty girl, the daughter
of one of the ownei'9, came to the ranch
from the East. She was protected in the
venture by an old and gnarled aunt,
watchful as a ferret, sour as a lime. Not
that the pretty girl needs watching ; she
is indeed in every move propriety's cli
max. No soft or dulcet reason woos her
to the West; she comes on no love
errand. She is elegantly and profoundly
tired of the East, that is all, and longs
for Western air and Western sights. She
has been at the HT ranch a week and the
boys have met her, every one. The
meeting or meetings were marked by
awkwardness as to the boys, utter indif
ference as to the pretty girl. She met
them as she met the ponies, cows, horned
toads and other animals, domestic and in
digenous to eastern New Mexico. While
every cowboy was blushingly conscious
of her, she was purely ana serenely
guiltless of giving him a thought.
Before this pretty girl came the boys
were friends and the calm tenor of their
relations with each other had never a
ripple. She was not there a day before
each drew himself insensibly from the
others, and a vague hostility shown
dimly in their eyes. It wa3 the instinct
of the righting male animal aroused by
the presence of the pretty girl.
The dark, vague, impalpable, differ
ences which cut off each of these creat
ures from his f ellow3 and inspired him '
with an unreasoning and unmeasurable
hate had grown with the brief week of
their existence. A philosopher would
look for trouble soon on the HT.
'What did you go take my sad-'
die for, yesterday, Bill?" said Jack;
Moore to a cowboy by the name of Bill
Watkins.
Cause I allows I'll ride it some,"!
says Watkins. 4,Thought it might like!
to carry a high-grade cow-puncher,'
once."
"Well! don't take it no more," said '
Moore, moodily, ignoring the gay inso-;
lencein the reply. "Leastwise, don't
come a-takin' of it an savin nothin.'
You can palaver Americano, can't you?
When you aims to ride my saddle again,
ask for it; if you can't talk, make signs,1
an' if you can't make signs, shake a
bush, but don't go to Injunin' off no
saddle of mine no more."
"Whatever do you allow is liable to
happen if I take it agin tomony?" in-:
quired Bill in high scorn.
Bill was of a more vivacious temper
than the gloomy 3Ioore.
"You takes it agin an' I mingles with
you a whole lot, mighty prompt," re
plied Moore in a tone of obstinate in
jury. These boys were brothers in affection,
before that pretty girl came, and either
would have gone a-foot all day to lend
his saddle to the other. Going a-foot, j
too, is the last thing, let mc assure you'
a cowboy will do. !
"Well, don't you fail to mingle none,";
said Bill, with cheerful ferocity, "onac-;
count of its being me. I crosses the
trail of the short hornlike you, over on,
Tanhandle onct, an' puts him in the fire:
an'.has plenty, of fun with him."
"Stop the play now, right yere," aid(
Tom Rawlins, the HT range boss, who!
was sitting close at hand. v "You all'
spring trouble 'round yere an' I'll be in
it. WJiatever's the matter with all you
people anyway? You're like a passel of i
sore 'head' dogs for more'a a week now.!
You're ahorely too many for me to sabej
an' I cl'ar gives you up."
' The boys started some grumbing reply, j
but the cook called them to supper just ,
then, and, one animalism becoming over
shadowed by another, they forgot their
rancor and vague animosities in thoughts
of supplying their hunger. Toward the
last of the repast, Rawlins arose and
going to another room began overlook
ing some entries in the ranch books.
The pretty girl did not eat at the
ranch table. She had little banquets in
her own room. Ju3t then she was in
her room ana Degan singing in a low
tenor some tender little love song that
seemed born of a sigh and a tear. The
boys at supper heard her, and their re
sentment of each other's existence begau
again to 2ame in their breasts and burn
deeply in their eyes. None of these sav
ages was in the least degree in love with
tho pretty girl, either. They might have
ecome so, all or any of them.
The singing went on in a cooling, soft,
way that did not bring you the words
only the music.
"What I says about my saddle a while
back, I means," said Moore, finally, turn
ing dark looks on Watkins.
"See yere!" said Watkins in an ex
asperated tone he was as vicious as
Moore "if you're p'intin' out for a war
jig with me, don't fool 'round none for
reasons, but jest let ?er roll. Come a
runnir.', an' don't bother none with cere
monv." r
"A man don't have to have no reasons
for crawlin' you none," said Moore.
"You're fair game, you are. Anyone's
licensed to chase you 'round jest for fun
an' exercise."
"You can gamble," said Watkins, con
fidently, "any man as chases me 'round
mucii will regard it as thrillin' pastime.
He won't get fat at, none whatever."
"As you all seem to feci that way,"
said Moore, "I'll step out an' shoot with
you right now."
"Well! I'll shore go you," said Wat
kins. They arose and stepped out at the
door. It wa3 gathering dark, but it was
light enough to shoot by.
The other cowboys followed in si
lence. Not one said a word in comment
or interference. They were grave and
serious, but passive. It is not yood form
to interfere with other people's duels in
the Southwest. The pretty girl was still
singing, and the strains fell softly on
the ears of the cowboys. Every one,
whether onlooker or principal, felt in
spired with a licking, pleased anticipa
tion of the blood to be scon set flowing.
Nothing was said of distance. They
separated to about forty paces and
turned to face each other. Each wore
his "Colt's 45," the loosely buckled let
ting it rest low down on the right hip.
Each threw down his big hat and stood
at apparent ease, with his thumbs caught
in the pistol belt.
"Shall you give the word, or me?"
said Moore.
"You give it," said Watkins. "It'll
be a funny passage in American history
if you get your artillery to the front any
sooner than I do, then."
"Be you ready?" asked Jack.
"Shore."
"Then go!"
"Bang I Bang! Bang! Bang!" went
both pistols together, and with a ra
pidity not to be counted. Moore got a
crease in
hU left shoulder a mere
wound to the flesh and Watkins fell '
with a bullet in his side. Rawlins, the
range boss, came running out. He under
stood all at a look. Hastily examining
Moore he discovered that his hurt was
nothing serious. The others carried
Watkins into the house.
"Take my pony, saddled at the fence,
Jack," said Rawlins, "and pull your
freight. This yere man's goin' to die."
"Which I shorely hopes he does," said
Jack Moore, bitterly, "I'll go, though;
I ain't got no use for none of these yere
he-shorthorns around the nT."
So he took Rawlins's pony, and when
he stopped riding in the morning it was
no marvel that the poor pony hung his
head dejectedly, while his flanks steamed
and quivered. He was almost 100 miles
from his last corn, and cooled his nerv
ous muzzle as he took his morning drink
in the Rio Pecos, a stream far to the
west of the HT.
"Some shooting scrape about their
saddles, Miss; that's all." So reported
Rawlins to the pretty girl.
"Isn't it horrible!" shuddered the
pretty girl, in reply.
The next morning the pretty girl and
her gnarled and twisted aunt paid the in
jured Watkins a visit. This sight
so affected the other three cowboys that
they at once saddled and rode away to
the northwest to work some cattle on the
Ocate Mesa. They intended to be gone
three months. They looked black and
forbidding as they galloped away.
"It's a pity Jack Moore ain't no better
pistol shot," said one, as the picture of
the pretty girl visiting the wounded Wat
kins arose in his mind.
"That's whatever," assented the others.
The pretty girl was full of sympathy
for the stricken Watkins. It occurred to
her, too, that his profile was clear and
iiandsome. He was certainly very pale
and this stirred the depths of her femi
nine nature. She and her aunt came to
see the invalid every day. Once, the
pretty girl said she would briDg him a
book to read and while away the hours,
which seemed shod, with lead.
"I can't read," said Watkins, in a tone
of deepest shame. I never learned. I
should like to read, too, but there's no
one to teach me. So that settles that,"
and the rascal expressed a deep sigh.
Watkins lied. It was he who was the
Princeton man.
So the pretty girl came every day and
gave Watkins a reading lesson, while the
gnarled aunt read a book and watched
them through the open door.
"By the way," said Watkins one day,
" where's Moore?"
"Why?" asked the range boss, to
whom the question was put.
"You tell him," said Watkins, his
eyes beginning to gather rage, "that
when I get out, I'll be lookin' for him
with something besides a field glass."
"Oh, no!" said the pretty girl, rising
and coming toward his couch. Her tone
Lkowccl disturbance and fear at the
thought.
. A 5 he gazed at her the look changed
in his eyes. Hate for Moore gave place
to something efse.
"No," he said at last. ' 'Tell him it's
all right, Rawlins."
The pretty girl thought him very
noble.
Watkins was out in five weeks and
could go about the ranch. One night
Rawlins thought he heard a pony in the
yard and arose to remedy the matter.
As he stepped out a couple passed him
in the moonlight. It was Wakins and
the pretty girl. The caitiff's arm was
round her. Kansas C'. y Times.
A River Too Narrow for Oars.
The Quilimane, or Kwakwa, in East
Africa, is the most northerly of the several
channels through which the great River
Zambesi discharges itself into the sea. No
steamers at present call at auy of the
mouths of thei Zambesi, and as the Quili
mane is too small for steam launches, the
journey up-country from Quilimaaa has
to be begun in boat3.
In many places the river is too narrow
for even oars to be used, and native pad
dles are therefore chiefly employed. The
travellers sit in the deck-house for pro
tection from the sun, and watch the pad
dlers at their work.
The main road between the Kwakwa
and Zambesi, a distance about three miles,
is open, but is a mass of water and mud.
At other places, the tall grass six or seven
feet high, almost nioets over the travel
er's head. In this case the passenger is
earned by natives in a "machila," cr
litter. Nuo York Journal.
A Big Bird Story.
At Italy, in Ellis County, Texas, the
other morning, a monster bird wa3 no
ticed circling around the town. Sud
denly it descended with great rapidity
into the yard ot Charles Waller, seized
Waller's four-year-old boy in its talons and
ascended slowly, but with seeming ease.
Grasping his gun, the child's father
mounted his horse and went in pursuit.
' The bird made direct for the creek
bottom, two miles from town but after
carrying the child half way the burden
became too great. It slowly descended,
lighting near a deep ravine.
The father dismounted and crept up
the ravine within a few yards of the
bird, and shot it in the head.
The child was unhurt, but the talons of
the bird were still in the child's clothing
when killed. The bird was standing on
the child's chest. The bird measured
eight feet from tip to tip of wings. Seio

A FAtVfOUS COU-ECTIONioF KINGS.
Mrs. "Walliam Astor's collection of
rings is thamost famous. In this country.
She has bought many of theold French
jewels andlhas several of tha rings be
longing to the Empress Eugenie. One
is the noted "Napoleon ring," which re
presents ajlily in diamonds with drops of
dew upontthe petals. The dewdrops are
pearls and4the petals are diamonds. An
other is of ? turquois, band and setting,
the band forming leaves in a wreath and
coming up in the center to the shape of
one-large fiorget-me-not. She also has a
snake ringnvhich came from Egypt. This
is constructed, of fine gold wire, which
scintilates and moves as if alive; each
scale of thejsnake's back is a tiny wire on
which is a Tuby, an emerald and an
amethyst. ) The effect is marvelous.
A WOMAN LOCKSMITH.
A novelty up town is a (woman lock
smith who has worked at the trade so
long that she is able to perform satisfac
torily all of the lighter duties of the
work. Her husband, who has a. store
for plumbers' supplies over on Sixth
avenue, has been crippled by inflamma
tory rheumatism until he is notable to
walk more than a block ortworatatime.
It has been coming on him gradually,
and with every recurrent attack he has
doubled his exertions as attutor, until
his wife can now fit a keyfto a lock,
trunk or dcor, or attend tto any of the
other duties of the work aswell as a man.
She is an active little vjoman, on the
wrong side of forty, and extremely am
bitious in a mechanical 'way. She said
a few days since that-sbw had made so
many friends among thepeople in whose
houses she had worketty in the neighbor
hood that she had nowfa special line of
custom which nobodycould take away
from her.
"At least," shesfiid, "no man can
take it away from me. Perhaps if there
was another woman locksmith I might
be in danger." New York Sun.
WOVENiFURS.
To provide for the very general
fashion of wearing Clir bands upon the
costume, there are certain new woven
textiles which bear a close resemblance
to fur. There are productions of the
loom so like the expensive Persian lamb
skin that an expert alone could tell the
difference. Gray kimmer and black as
trakhan are likewise admirably copied,
new productions in these trimmings be
ing displayed recently. These imita
' tions in soft silky wool are realby ja better
taste than the host of cheap feather
bands and inferior skies indifferently
dyed to imitate more expensive ( fur, for
instance, "blue fox," which is sold for a
song. Genuine blue fox is usedionly on
wraps of great value, but many women
walk abroad in the dreadful imitation of
"blue fox" a dyed fur and a dyed blue
that would scare any fox who saw it. Of
course blue fox is not blue at all. "It is
so-called because it isn't," a wise furrier
once explained. Few people know the
fur when they see it, or have the least
idea of its actual value, and as it is
neither sable nor seal, it3 price when
given is invariably provocative of ejacu
lations. New York Post.
FASHION NOTES.
Ordinary tailor-made gowns are con
structed most simply.
A Longfellow luncheon is the latest
fad of out-of-town society.
An expensive but common necklace is
formed of black p saris strung on an in
visible gold chain.
nair combs of Spanish style, either of
gold, silver or tortoise, are to be worn
by women this season, as was the fashion
many years ago.
Variety in the style of shoulder cape?
is infinite. Any kind of material "goes,"
and each and every woman believes her
cape the fashion.
The smallest toque yet invented i3
made of two rows of jet beads and a
cluster of black feather pon pos and a
bow of pink ribbon.
Among the most recent productions in
deposit work is a coffee set of eggshell
; china in pale sea-shell pink, with en-
craved silver exterior.
There seems to be a new way of ar
ranging the black craps mourning veil
that is not worn ovr the face. The art
is exclusive with rrilliners.
Small mu2s for evening wear have
been received in Paris. They are made
in shades to match the gown, and aro
suspended by a gold snake chain which
goes around the neck. They arc of lit-
tic use except as a means of showing off
jewelry ar.d lace. . ,x
The fashion of narrow p-.itls around
the armhole of the' bodice U decidedly
pretty upon slender woa:eu and children,
and is also far more becoming to even
stout figures than the abnormally, high
standing, distended leg-o-mutton model.
These puds, pointed at the civl, which
reach under the arm, are put on over
the close sleeve after ii i finished and
adjusted.
Tlis Old Printing and the New.
November 2'.), a newspaper was
for the Urst time printed by steam in
stead of manual power. It is interesting
to note that without this ad junct the im
pression of an edition of the Eccn'mj
Sun, as now issued daily, even with a
great number of presses, would consume
a week. The new invention was first
applied on th; London Tiius, which at
that time required many hours to work
off its edition of between 3000 and
4000 copies. Tho machine was set up,
cot in the printing-house, but in
adjoiniug premise, for fear of the press
men, who had threatened the inventor
with destruction "to him and his traps."
They were directed to wait for expected
news from the Continent. "It was about
0 o'clock in the morning when Mr. Wal
ter went into the press-room and aston
ished its occupants by telling them that
the Times was already printed by steam,
and that if they were peaceable their
wages should be continued to every one
of them till similar employment could be
procured." Editorially the Thms said:
"Our journal of to-day presents to tho
public the practical result of the greatest
improvement connected with printing
since the discovery of the art itself;"
and, after describing the process, "the
whole of these complicated acts is per
formed with such a velocity and simul
taneousnesj of movement, that no less
than 1100 sheets are impressed in one
hour.'' New Yuri- Sun.
The Dodo.
Most interesting of extinct birds is the
dodo, which was a kind of pigeon some
what larger than a swan, very stupid
and unable to fly, its wings being almost
rudimentary. It weighed lifty pounds
when full-grown, had a huge bill, was
provided with a tail that resembled a
feather duster and waddled about on
very short legs. Its name means in the
Portuguese tongue "simpleton." The
dodo is first mentioned by the Dutch
admiral, Van Neck, in his account of a
voyage to the island of Mauritius in
159o. His sailors and those of subse
quent vessels which touched there
destroyed the unfortunate bird wantonly
and it was entirely extinct 100 years
later. Wasliiagtoa Star.
The Mystery of Sitting Eul!.

lost his life recently by falling in a street
excavation near the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington, bad a queer theory
about Silting Bull.- He believed the old
fox was once a resident of Arizona,
where he led a baud of reneitjes till tlie
country became too hot for him. He
