COQUETTE.

BY T. H. ROBERTSON. "Coquette," my love they sometimes call. For she is light of lips and heart; Wat though she smile alike on all. It In her smiles she knows no Hit? Like some Riad brook she seems to be, Like ripples o'er its pebbly bed. And prattles to each flower or tree. Which stoops to kl1 it, overhead. Beneath the heavens' white and blue It purls and sings and laugns and leaps. The sunny meadows dancing through O'er noisy shoals and frothy steeps. 'Tis thus the world doth see the brook ; But I have seen It otherwise. When following it to some far nook. Where leafy shields shut out the skies. And there Its waters rest. euMned. In shadowy pools, serene and shy. Wherein grave thoughts and fancies brood And tender dreams and longings lie. 1 love it when it laughs and leaps. But love 1 better when at rest Tis only in Its tranquil deeps I see my Image In Its breast. The Century. THE STARS. The Quaint Story of a Provencal Shepherd, ly Alphonte l)uilt. Translated by Mary Ne&l Sherwood. Years and years ago, when I guarded my flocks on the Luberon, I often and often went for weeks without seeing a living soul. There I lived, alone in the fields with ruy dear dog Lubry and my sheep. Occasionally, to be sure, the old Hermit would pass by on his way to gather simples and herbs, or I caught a brief glimpse of the black face of a charcoal burner from Piedmont. These, though, amounted to little, for, from force of habit, they were a if dumb. They had lived so long in such pro found solitude that they had nearly lost the power of speech, and besides knew nothing of what was going on In the tuwns and villages abont us. Consequently, once in each fortnight when I heard far down the mountain-path the tinkling of the little bells that heralded the coming of the mules from the farm with my supply of provisions, and when I at last beheld the brown can of old Aunt Xorade rising above the hillside, I laughed aloud in my joy. I was sure, then, of hearing all the village news, and all that was going on in the valley, i all about the marriages and baptism?, and also about a matter that interested me far more these. I should hear all about my master's daughter, Stephanette, who was the prettiest girl to be found within ten letgues. Without showing too much eagerness, I could easily rind out if she went to the various fetes and tf she had any new iovers. If any among you ask what all this was to me why I cared about the fetes to which she went or the lovers she had, since I was only a poor shepherd lad up among the mountains I answer that I was only twenty, and that Stephanette was the loveliest creature I had ever seen. One Sunday, as I was telling you, when I was impatiently expecting the arrival of my provisions for the next fortnight, I waited long past the usual hour, and could not understand why they were so late in coming. In the early morning I said to myself, "It is because ot High Mass." At noon came a terrible gust of rain and wind, and I concluded that the mule had been kept back by reason of the bad state of the roads. About 3 o'clock the rain had ceased; the sky was without a clond; every tree and rock, every twig and bush, was washed clean from dust, and shone with fresh cleanliness. At last I beard, amid the jingling of little brooks, now swelled to mountain torrents by the shower, and above the monotonous patter made by the dropping of water from the trees, the distant tinkle of the longedfor bell. It came nearer and nearer, ringing with as cheery a sound as the chimes on Easter Sunday. But it was not the farm-boy, nor yet was :t old Norade whom I beheld sitting up as straight as an arrow between the two baskets. It was guess whom? It was our young lady! Yes, just as true as I live, it was she, and looking as sweet and as fresh as a rose. The boy was ill, she said, and Annt Xorade had a holiday, and been gone nearly a week. Khs had gone to visit her children, whom she saw ouly once in the year. My young mistress told me all this as she dismounted from her mule. She told me, too, that she had lost her way, and that was the reason she was so late. This soinded very qr.e-er to me, because, as I looked at her in hW Sunday dress, with her gay ribbons and fluttering laces, she looked much more as if she were going to a dance than as if she had been making her wav throueh the bushes. Ahl the pretty little creature! It seemed to me that my eyes would never weary of looking at her. lhadiuver before been so near her. Sometimes, to be sure, in winter, whe.n my flocks were herded on the plain belo v, and I went to the farm for ray supper, she would occasionally pass through the hall with a quick step and with averted eyes. Then she was always as carefully dressed as now, and she held her head high with maidenly pride. And now she was alone with me on tnat hillside. "Was not that enough to make me lose my head? When she had unpacked her basket, Stephanette began to look about her curiously. Then gathering up her pretty skirts, lest she should soil them, and injure their freshness against the wet grass, she went into the hut to see, as she said, in what sort of a place I slept. She looked at the heap of fresh straw covered with a sheepskin, at my big cloak hanging against the wall near by", at my bow and arrows and my gun. All this seemed to amu.e her. "Is it here that you live, my poor shepherd?" she said. "How lonely you must be," she added, after a pause. "What do you here? What do you think about?" I waited to say, but I had not the courage, "Of you, mistress." This would only have been the truth. My trouble was so great that I could not speak. I think she saw this, and she was mischievous enough to increase my embarrassment. "And your best friend, shepherd does she often come up here to see you? She ought to come riding orf a golden goat, with the fairy Kstcrelle to console you!': As she said this my young mistress looked almost like a fairy herself. She stood as if her wings had not ceased to flutter only for sk moment and as if she were in baste to be cone. I felt, in fact, as if she were a fleeting ap parition as she said: "Good-bv. shepherd, eood-by!" "Good-bv. mistress." I answered mechan ically. I "watched her until she, with her empty basket, disappeared down the hillside. It seemed to me that the stones which I heard roll down the path under the hoof of the mule fell with a dull thud upon ray heart. I listened with strained and longing ears and sat motionless, almost in a stupor, until the day was done. I scarce dared move lest I should discover that all had been a dream a Tision of my sick fancy. Toward night, when a shining mist filled the valley, and the sheep, chilly and. frightened, pressed close to each other in their eagerness to enter their inclosure, I heard my name called aloud in eager tones. I started. Surely that wa the voice of my young mistress. What did it mean? Presently I saw her appear once mere before me. not laughing now no longer gay and teasing, but shivering from head to foot with terror and cold. I found out tha'. the Sorgue was so swollen by the recent tier .e shower that she did not venture to make the attempt to cross it alone. It was now too late for my young lady to return to the farm by the other road, which was very much longer, too. Then, besides, she knew nothing of that road and could not find it by herself, and I", of course, could not go with her, for I could not leave my flock. The idea of spending the night on the mountain was naturally very disagreeable to her, especially on account of the anxiety it would create at home. I comtorted her as best 1 could. I said to her: "In July, mistress, the nights are very abort." .... I went to work at once and built a fire that be might dry her pretty feet and the dainty jikirts, which were, alas! now muddy and

wet from the swift running current of the Sorgue. j Then I brought out milk, cheese and bread, but the poor little thing thought not of warmth and food. When I saw the big tears in her soft, troubled eyes, my own rilied, too, and I am not ashamed to say so Night now was really upon us. The crest of the mountain opposite the one on which we were wai flecked with light; it looked as if gold dust were scattered there; it was on the west where the sun had set that this golden light still lingered. I begged my young lady to enter my hut; I spread for her fresh s raw and a new sheep;

skin. I baue her jrood night and tuen toot a seat outside the door. God is my witness that my one idea was to protect my young mistress from any possible harm. I was proud to think that in the little hut lay ray master's daughter a lamb more precious, pure and more dainty than any nie f all the others intrusted to my charge Never had the sky looked half so blue to me; never had I seen the stars so bright. Suddenly the do.r opened and my maid apieared. She could not sleep, she said. The sheep were so near that each movement they made seemed wittinthe hut itself. The straw rustled under thei feet and she could not close her eyv. She preferred, she -aid, to til by tue tire with me if I had no objection. I put on more wood and found some resinous knots, with which I fed the fas tleapit.g flames, and we sat watching them in utter silence. If any among you have ever passed a night in the open air you have learned that in those bouts which we spend in sleep a new world awakes to life where all has been silent and alone. Then the sweet song of the babbling brook is sweeter and clearer; the placid surface of the iond is covered with tiny flickering flames. All the mountain spirits come and go freely and uiHj'ietioned. The whole air is pervaded with faint, strange sounds as of trees growing and ot buds and blossoms budding into perfect completeness. The day belongs to human beings, but the night is not theirs. When one is unaccustomed to the night one is afraid of it and very timid. So was my little mistress, who, startled and nervous, pressed elisor to me at each new and unwonted sound. Once there came a long, melancholy cry; it floated toward us from v pond that glit tered far down below. At the same moment a bright star shot across the heavens above our heads in the direction of the lake. It was as if the wail we heard carried this light with it. "What" is that?" whispered Stephanette breath lessly. "A soul entering Paradise, mistress," was my reply. I made the sign of across a3 I sjKike and she did the same as she sat listening with tixed. uplifted eyes. Then she said to me slowly and softly: "Is it true that you shepherds are all wizards? "No, indeed, dear nistress; but we live up here so near the skies that it seems as if we must know much more ot what is going on there anion: the stars than you dwellers on the plain below. She sat with her pretty head leaning on her hand. She was all wrapped in her sheepskin, and looked like a small and htavenly herdsman. "How beautiful they are," she murmured, with her eyes fixed on the stars; "do you know their names, shepherd?" "Of course I do, mistress. There just above us is the road of St. James (the Milky Way); it goes from France right over to Spain. It was St. James who drew it, in order to show the way to the brave Charlemagne when he made war with the Saracens. Further olT you can see the Car of Souls (the Oreat Hear), with its four resplendent wheels. The threestars in front are the horses, and the small one in the rear of the third is the charioteer." We sat in 3ilence for some minutes, and then I said hastily: "Did you see that shower of tiny stars then, mistress? Well those are the souls which our dear Lord Joes not wish to keep in Heaven, the souls that the good God will not have near His great white throne. Look lower down, now. and you will see the three Kings (Orion). That is the star which we call our clock. As I look at it now, I can tell that it Is past 12. Down there toward the south shines Jean de Milan, the torch bearer (Sirius). The shepherds tell a queer story about that s'ar. It seems that one night Jean de .Milan, with the Three Kings and one of the l'leaides were invited to a marriage festival of a star. The Fleaid wa? in a tremendous hurry, and she started en" first, so it is said, and took the upper road. Look, up, mistress, up to the very center of the sky. The Three Kings made a short cut across, and overtook her, while lazy Jean de Milan, who had slept too late, was left far behind. He stood still a moment, and then, mad with rage, threw his torch after the others This is the storv the shepherds like to tell each other. But the most beautiful of all these dwellers in the sky, dear mistress, is the one we call our own, the shepherd s star, which shines upon us with friendly greeting when we go forth at dawn with our nocks. Then again, at nicht, we tve it again as we bring them back to our folks. This is Magilonne, the beautiful Magilonne, who runs after Pierre de Provence (Sirius), and marries him every seventa year." "Marries him, did you say, shepherd? Are there marriages, then, among the stars?" "Why, of course, mistress. Why should there not be?" I went on trying to make her understand what I meant. Presently I felt something soft and warm touch my shoulder very lightly. It was the head of the young cirl, winch, heavy with sleep, sank on my shoulder with a delicious rustle of soft lace and cri p ribbons. I looked down upon her as she slept. I was a little disturbed, I don't deny it My breath came quicker than usual, I think, but I was preserved fr ni all unholy thoughtsby the great peace and tranquility that encom passed us about, f he stars continued their silent march across the sky. They were as docile as a flock of sheep. As I sat there I for a moment fancied that one of those shining stars the brightest, the fairest and the most precious had lallen asleep on my shoulder. Almanach Provencal, published at Avignon. Tlirowlrjf the Lasso. ITeias Siftingi.1 A rope, or lasso, is a harmless looking thing, but in the hands of a .Mexican it bennmaa a orriKlo tktoq nnn A Movifnn fon I cornea a terrible weapon. A Mexican can m mm yank a Yankee, or any other hostile intruder he has a spite at, out of the eaddle, as quick as the President of the United States can remove an unworthy oflico holder who is irregular in sending in his campaign as sessment" according to the civil eervice reform rules. The dexterity of a Mexican vaquero in handling a rope has to be seen to believed. Daring the war with the French, one of Maximilian's best cavalry officers, a Pole, was caught out, so to speak, by the Aexi cans, with a las'o, around Monterey and his neck, and draeered to death. Every Mexi can is dangerous when he has a huso in bU hand. Even a good-natured Mexican, who has been born without any arms, is not to be trusted when he has got a iasso in his bands as we heard an Irishman once remark. In ropiDg cattle and horses, the M xican removes the calico remnant from the sbrubbe-y. A vaquero gracefully swings the la-so, gives it an apparently care less toss, and it is suro to encircle the neck of any particular animal in the herd he may have singled out. He, the Mexican, then throws hi3 horse on his haunches, the lasso becomes t&ut, and so does the animal. It is taught that it is no useLtrying to escape from a Mexican with & lasso. Like most other harmless-looking weapons, the lasso is dangerous to persons who do not know how to handle it, and to demonstrate this we sub mit the following: A few days ago, we me a newly-arrived Englishman cominz down Austin avenue on crutchas. He wore his head in a band age. his nose was skinned, and there were other indications of his having either leaned up against the propeller of a mule to rest himself, or of his having questioned the veracity of some native Texan. When you see an Englishman in Texas, who looks as if he needed medicine, you may be sure he ia one of Dr. Kingsbury's patients. At least, that is what all sick Englishmen in Texas

claim. This one told a touching story of how he met Dr. Kingsbury in London, and after they "'ad 'ad some 'arf and 'arf, ye know," the Doctor had giving him a florid description of Texas, how pine apples grew on the prickly pear buahc3, and boxes of oranges dropping ripe from the trees encumbered the tidewalke, but what induced the young Englishman to leave hu happy home and come to Texas, to enjoy f port and to

acquire great riches, suddenly, was the de scriptiori of what sport it was to lasso cattle. "So you have been roping cattle, ha vo you?" wa asked. lie said he had hired a horse, saddle, and lassoo,' and had ridden up io a steer. As his bad luck vould have it, he succeeded in throwing the rone over tho animal' horns. It gaVioped ofT. Johnny followed the doctor directions about reining in his horse, and the consequence wa3 that the saddle, with tho Englishman in it, went over the horse's neck. He had tied the "lassoo" to the pommel of the saddle, like a dog with a tin kettle tied to his tail. It was worth $15, which the Englishman had to piy, but as the Mla98oo" was g.ine too, he pal4 up cheerfully, lie wanted to return to England to write a book about Texas sports and games. llo has already written a letter to tho ixndon Tiins denouncing Kingsbury as unreliable, lie aUo wanted the money returned that he had invested in his Texas pleasure trip. We told Dim there was no trouble about getting his money. All he had to do was to make out his bill, go over to San Antonio, and preheat it to Colonel II. B. Andrew?, who would hand out a check for that amount; that Colonel Tierce, President of the Sunset Iloute, hd given Colonel Andrews written permission to pay cut of his, Andrews', own pocket, any and all sums of money tbat he pleased to give to dissatisfied English immigrants. The Englishman called a hack to take him to the train bound for San Antonio, and as he diappeared from sight, who should come up but Hill Snort of the Crosoy County Clarion and Farmers' Vindicator? He is in Austin just now on important business. He is authorized by the School Commissioners of Crosby County to confer with Governor Roberts and, if possible, obtain his consent to the introduction of the Governor's book, including the "Texian hare," into the public schools o! Crosby county, to be used as a text book for the voung. We told Bill about the bad luck of the young Englishman who succeeded in roping a Texas steer, when he. Colonel snort, f poke up, ar.d said that if he was properly en couraged he would give us some of his ex perience with the las?o. After havmg been encouraged twice, with a cigar thrown in. Bill settled himself in one of the editorial thrones, and let himself out as follows: Tho first timo I ever fooled with a huso, or rather got fooled by a lasso, was when I was a mere boy, a playful child, so to f peak As I did not want to put my parent to the expense ot Duying a lasso, I cut twenty leet off the clothes line1 I then took position on the corner and lay in wait for a victim. An aged Mexican came jogging along on a pac ing pony, little imagining what was in store for him. I was nearly delirious with joy at my Ia.'so catching nis horse by the hind foot. As I had tied the other end of the rope to my wrist, there was no chance for him to escape. The next thing I remembered was a jerk at my arm that can onlv be compared to tho shake of a candidate's hand on election day, af:er which I trotted mechanically behind the old Mexican, who did not seem to know what a smart boy he had caught. The peo pie on the sidewalk took in the situation, but were doubled up much with laughter to render mo such assistance. "When the old Mexican traveled faster I humored him, and kept up with the procession. I prayed, however, loud and earnestly, that he might stop before my arm came ott. My prayers were answered miraculously. lie saw what was the matter. He dismounted and took the rope off his horse's hind leg. Then he began to haul me in as if I were a big fish. 1 began to regret that my prayers for mm to stop had been so promptly answered, for there was an expression in the aged Aztec's collection of features that filled me with gloomy forebodings. lie was not in a hurry to take the rope ofl' my wrist. He swung the rope around his head, and then I began to revolve around him like a planet around the sun, he keeping up the centrifugal force and the beat with the end ot the roDe. After he had taken more exercise than was necessary for a man of his age, he took the rope ofl my wrist, and I flew off into space at a tangent and high rate of speed. He did not give me back the rope either, but I did not miss it, for I got some more rope at home got it on the same place too when my immediate ancestors discovered that the clothes line was too short. 'That cured the dog of sucking eggs didn't it?" queried one of the Sifters. "Well, my recollection is that it did for a while" resumed Bill, "but the cure was not permanent. About a year afterwards the city marshal issued a proclamation offering twenty-five cents reward for every unlicensed dog delivered at the pound. Here was a chance for a live, energetic boy to turn an honest quarter. The recollection of my former misfortune had faded out with the marks of the rop. I got another lasso, and watched for a dog. The first doe 1 saw was several sizes too large to suit me, and be. sides. I was afraid he would not lead well. with my usual good luck tho rope caught around the neck, and I began to tow him in the direction of the pound. At first he did not understand what I wanted, and held back until I had nearly pulled his head off, when he suddenly came towards me, where upon I abruptly sat down on the back olmy head, and came very near impairing my future usefulness. But that was a splendid dog to lead. He not only came right up to me, but ho went past me. The only fault I could find with him, was that in pishing me he carried off some of my clothes in his mouth. He must have got a taste of me in his mouth, too. He went on past to th. ThU fft-fn iv ... .J) I had not tied the rope to my wrist, bo I did not have to follow him unless I wanted to. I thought I would check him up a little, so l pulled the rope. I never saw such an easy dog to lead. He turned right around and came back at me with hia mouth open, as if he wanted the est of my clothes, and another mouthful of boy. I turned the brute loose and fled. It was so easv to lead him. I led him right up to a tree, and the affectionate brute would have followed me up the tree if he had only had a ladder. Finally he went off with my lasic, and the two bits I was to get for leading him to tha pound. Right then and there, sitting on the limb of that tree, I registered a solemn vow never to fool with a lasso again. I5ut I mut be going. I have an appointment with Governor Roberts to see about getting his work introduced as a text book for the young into the Public Schools of Crosby County. I'd go out with you again, but I reckon the Governor will set 'em up Good-bye," and he was gone from our sight. Etiquette In Writing. "With regard to writing letters, none but school girls cross and recross a sheet of writing paper; two sheets of paper are in varibly Hsed, if cne sheet of paper will not contain all that is to be said. If half the second sheet of paper is left blank, it is not torn off, a whole sheet being more conran tent to hold and to fold than is a half shee of paper. If a few last words are necessary to complete a letter, they are written on the margin, not on the writing across the face of tho pages. In addressing envelopes the address should be written legibly iu the centre of the envelope, and not run off into a corner, leaving a third of the envelope blank Many people write their initials or name in full in one corner of the envelope; this is crulto a matter of inclination.
