COWBOY AND CORSET.

"I jest Tvi?ii yo' had never weivt to Dallas. I vri.-ih yo'd staid here on tho ranch an kep' on a bein yer own self, stead o' driftin off the range to the city an a makin a play to be a high toned leddy. Yo' ain't like yo' used to be, Cassie."

There was a scowl on the cowboy's face as he stood before Cassie Denton, the daughter cf the owner of the Texas ranch at which he was employed. The face of the bright eyed little maiden wore a pained look as she toyed with the LucLskin wrist loop which depended from the handle of the six shooter in his belt. "I knowed jest how it would be," he continued. "When yer pop got the notion into bis hf-ad that yo' must be edicated an be a leddy, I tol him it'd spile yo'. I tol him yo' never would be tho came gal no mo' that yer little head'd git turned there among the line stock, an yo' wouldn't have no mo' use fur graded critters sioh as the riders o' the ranges.'' "But Bob," the girl interrupted, "I am not changed in my feelings toward yoa I love you just a6 well as I did the day pop said I oould marry you, and he sent me to eohooi for two years just to make me fit to be your wife. It was tfll for your sake, Bob, and it's real bad of you to act so after I had studied so hard to make of myself a lady worthy of such a man as you. I know I'm not like I used to be. I am not rough and wild like I was once. I dress better, and I talk better. It's refinement, Bob--that'a what Miss Bentley, the teacher, said, and she said that a girl without refinement "wud juKt oil vue face of society. That's just what she said, Bob, in her own words, and I feel like crying at the way you act." "I'd a whole lot rather see yo' a good healthy wart on tbe face o' society than to 6ee yo' a dab o' bright paint on one o' its cheeks, or a string o' no 'count beads a-hangin 'bout its neck. Style is fur them that lives in cities, Cassie, an is jest as much out o' place in here on the ranch as a cheap herdin greaser'd be out o' place in glory. I'd never believedit of yo', Cassie, that yo'd come back here with yer foretop curled up in a bunch an a corset cinched round yo'. I wouldn't, I sw'ar I wouldn't. No woman kin make a rancher guoil wife that Y,7ears a fashion pack saddle an bunches up her mane like yours is bunched. I roout git over the curl business in time, but I sin't never goin to have no wife that'll ciftch herself up so's she can't breat-he^below"—

With a scream of laughter the girl placed her hand over his mouth and checked his further speech. "Oh, Bob, Bob, you naughty boy! Is it my poor little corset that has come between us tq ward olx your leve? Oh, I must laugh, for it's really the funniest thing I ever heard of! Why, Bob, I could never live without a corset. It is such a support and comfort, and you know, you wicked boy, that my figure is much prettier than it was before I went to Dallas. Isn't it, now?"

She placed her hands against her waist and waltzed saucily around so that he could inspect her neat form. "No, 'tain't. 'Tain't free an easy, like God intended it should be. If he'd 'a' wanted yo' pinched up like yo' are now, he'd 'a' built yo' that way. Thcre'd be jest as much sense in cincfcia up cows to mako 'em look purty. Yo'd laugh yer eyes out to see a cow goin around here with corsets on, an, yo' hear me, it'is jest as ridiculous fur a gal to do it. I'm agoin to rbundup the ranges fur a gal 'at's got more savey than to wear sich m&nstroupitie?, 'r olro I never will double up in matermony lcrg I live. Throw 'em away, Cassie, or yo' an me won't be nothin much to each other no mo'." "Bob, I won't make a fool of myself for a little senseless whim such as yours. I'll wear what I please, and if it don't exactly meet with your ideas of propriety yen ra r»c ivnfl a girl that'»willing to put up with your nonsense."

The little girl was angry now, aud with a spiteful flirt of her skirts she turned .from him and went into the house. Her anger was l&e a passing rammer oloud, and when in a few moments it had spent itself E!:C r~r. to her room, and throwing herself on the bed burst into tears. Bhe knew Bob Taylor loved her dearly, and rough and uneduested aa he waa she almost worshiped the handsome young oowboy. She would gladly have oonsigned the .offending arflde of dress to the waters of the Brazos, which ran near the house, but she oould not for a moment countenance such an unreasonable whim on Bob'* part, and with set teeth and clinched bnrd^ she rowed that if her lover took her to wife the corset most be included in the inveotory of her personal effect*

Days sped by, and Bob passed and repassed her about the hottie seemingly as 4bUvtot» h« nrssenoe she were

That woald be terrible. But pshaw! Bob would never be so foolish as to puff out a human light for one little girl in a country literally running over with the prettiest girls in America. Not ha Anyhow she would risk it, and if Ben Allison of the Diamond O ranch came around and made eyes at her again, as he had done on several occasions, she would encourage him just the least bit, and then, when Bob recovered from tbe fit of temporary insanity into whioh her corset had thrown him and came to her in a penitent mood, she would throw herself into bis dear arms and tell him that she never did, never would and never could love any one but him. Of course he would forgive her and kiss her tears away, and the sun of love would again burst forth and shine over them with new and exquisite luster.

Ben Allison's heart became real unruly when at his next visit to the Denton ranch Cassie met him with a welcoming smile, extended her pretty little hand and permitted him to hold it quite a little while after he had got through shaking it. After this gratifying reception his visits increased in frequency, and although, with great feminine tact, the girl kept his ardor within proper bounds she did not repulse him, and it soon became noised about among tbe riders of the ranges that "Ben was sure goin to pitch a matermonial rope at Cassie Benton, an the little thererbred'd soon pack his brand."

Bob noted all this, and his heart was filled with bitterness toward his supposed rival. He never cast the look of recognition upon Cassie, yet when he would see her moving about the house or oorrals or galloping about tbe range on her pretty little pinto pony^ it begai: to dawn upon him that her corseted form was indeed far neater than that of any girl on all the ranges of the Brazcfe. After a time he was ready to swear that be had never seen anything one-half so handsome as that neat, graceful figure, and the uncorseted girls of his acquaintance seemed almost frightful in his eyes when he gazed upon their loose, dumpy forms. He began to harbor the impression that he had made a very pronounced fool of himself, but his stubborn nature asserted itself. He had said the corset must go, and go it must. "That's a way up on top gal sence she got back from Dallas, ain't she, Bob?" Allison said to him one day, when they met in the corral of the Denton ranch. "Yo' don't want to make no funny plays about that gal when I'm around," Bob hotly replied. "I hain't never yit found out that it makes any difference who's around or who ain't around when I want to make a talk play,'' retorted Allison. "Some things gits found out mighty sudden, Ben Allison, an this ain't goin to be fur from one of 'em. I want to tell yo' right now, an to holler it out plain, too, that yo' are a-nosin around this ranch too plenty o' late instead of ridin yer own ranch, an I ain't agoin to stand it no mo'." "Mabbe you wouldn't mindtellin me what business it is o' yours whar I ride. Long as the gal's throwed yo' to one side yo' ain't got no say as to other fellers pitchin a rope at her." "Yer a liar when yo' say she's throwed me, an yo' know it, an yo' want to hit the Diamond O trail right now, or yo' an me's agoin to bump together pow'ful hard. Jest top that hoss o' yours an work him lively away from here, or a calamity's agoin to occur right quick." "Yo' talk mighty brave fur a castoff shoe, Bob Taylor, an yo' can't begin the bumpin business any too quick to suit me, yo' poor, worthless sneak,

That was the limit. The two men, their eyes blazing with anger, backed away from each other, drawing their six shooters as they went. The guns were thrown into position for quick work just as a slight girlish form darted around the corner of the adobe stable and sprang in front of Taylor. Allison's pistol rang out before he noted the presence of the girl, and with a scream of pain she fell senseless to the ground. The man who had fired the shot fled in terror, and Bob bent over his wounded darling, calling her by the most endearing names and begging her to live for his sake.

The form of the girl was borne into the house, and a doctor from Waoot who was fortunately there, attending a cowboy who was down with the breakbone fyrer, was called in. "IS she dead, doctor?" asked Bob in tones of the most pitiable agony. "Not only stunned* Ball struok a oorset steel aud glanced off. Bhe will be •ii sis** son, to! ttym

a fliousand miles away. TbaTy onoe did he notice her, when, in maidenly desperation at his coldness, she asked: "Ain't you never going to make up. Bob?" "Not till you skin off that infernal pack qpddle," was the surly reply.

Their lovers had been a fruitful and never stale topic of conversation among

the pupilii of Miss Bentley's seleot school for girls in DaUas, and in all their confidential chats Cassie had heard of but one effeotive method of whipping a recalcitrant lover back into the traces, "Flirt with some ether fellow." Her only fear was that if she should try the experiment Bob might lose control of his temper and shoot the other fellow, and as a result he might be locked up for a long time in a cheerless prison, and the marriage be necessarily postponed until the misdemeanor was atoned for. The judge might be a cruel monster with no sympathy for young lovers and might send him into retirement for years, and she might become a wrinkled or calcimined old maid before !fe again breathed the air of freedom.

my Boy, anf sfie undoubtedly" save^ your life." Cassie soon recovered consciousness, and with joy in his every tone Bob confessed what a fool he had been and begged for forgiveness. Of course it was sweetly granted, and he declared that the marriags must take place just as soon as she became able to stand before the minister. "And can I wear my corset, dear?" 6he coyly asked. "Wear what saved yo' fur me? Cassie, I wouldn't have yo' throw that away fur a million dollars. Yo' kin wear two of 'eiii if yo' want to, an if yo: say so I'll wear one myself."—New York Tel etjram.

NOT EASY TO E3CAPS.

Dr. FI«WM RELEASED on Ball but AIRES' Soon Afterward. CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—Dr. R. C. Flow«R of Boston, brought he*© Sunday feons Galveston and lodged in jail on charge* of defrauding N. C. Foster, a lumberman of Fairfield, Wis., out of $45,000, in connection with a deal made with the bonds of the Deming (N. M.) Land uid Water company, secured bail yesterday evening and was released from the Cook county jail.

Hiw liberty was of short duration, however, as about 9 o'clock he and his private secretary, H. C. Mosher, were arrested by a representative of the Mooney and Boland agency. This second arrest was made at the instance of William Chapman of Peoria, Ills. It seems that Mr. Chapman was the owner of a large amount of valuable property in the coal belt of Illinois, which for a number of yeara was managed by his son-in-law. A couple of years ago the •on-in-law died. Soon after, according to Mr. Chapman's story, Dr. Flower appeared on the scene, and after a time induced Mr. Chapman to allow him to form a new stock corporation, taking most of the Chapman property, iur. Chapman to retain control and be secured.

According to the story told last night the deal was consummated by Dr. Flower, but up to this time Mr. Chapman has not been secured in any way, and has therefore swore out warrants charging Flower with lare«»y by «mbezzlement. The doctor and his privats secretary were taken before a justice and soon afterward locked up, as he could not secure bail on this new charge.

announce

ment of the president's intention to retire Judge Advocate General Swain this month has caused much speculation in military cirelea as to the succession. Under ordinary circumstances, General Swain would not retire beforJ 189c, if he cared to remain on tho active list, and in deciding to avail himself c»f the privilege of arbitrarily retiring an officer of this rank upon reaching the age of 63 years, wiwtoufc the officer's application, the president has adopted a course whioh, while perfect-/ legal, has very few precedents in the history of the army.

Up to this tinio but two names have been prominently mentioned for the succession. One is Joseph Lioe of V/ISconsin assistant secretary of war, au.i the oth'jr is Colonel G. H. Lieber of South Carolina. Mr. Doe has. however, publicly denied any aspiration to the place, audit seems very probable that the office will fall to Colonel Liobar, who has, since General Swains suspension, discharged all of the onerous of judge advocate general without, receiving the pay of tne o£!ce.

If the war was coueiuded at the present time, Japan won Id sweep* iuilemnii.y of 400,000,00m yens and the cession of the territory now occupied by the forces.

Too much weight should not be attached to the Chinese overtures far peace, for it is believed that Japan will be requested to give her eiemy £urt}-9r proof of the power of Japan in order that the Chinese people mz.y learn ti»&t their government sued for peace.

If Taku ana Shan-Hai-Kwan can r«*i be attacked this winter owing to the severity of the climate, the war will carried on in other populous parts China. No armistice will be gnwfoi unless China formally sues for peao» and surrenders Pelcin to the Japanese or gives other pledges in proportion to tl» demands of Japan.

If China is unable to pay the war indemnity immediately a portion of ttas sum decided upon paid down will be accepted and the remainder may be paid in installments with interest.

It must, however, be stipulated that the powir of Japan is regarded as ab lute and then there will be no fturth* opposition to the conclusion of peace.
