Now. il, w - in Texas, in the early dat .-hi.rtlv after the war. in the .tat f the hone Star' palmiei-t time. There a- i; h lirinking in the land, and much p.ker, as well, no pious general haunr an et arisen to hid gambling ease, there was u1m home shooting, bat of unattached women there were sadly few, an! tlMMN that, there were, were, generally, ru t serv nice. This condition nf affairs led to a pood many unfortunate things. Any man prefers even a second rate woman to none at all, and any man being deprived of a standard of comparison for a length of time will come to think that an exceedingly poor article ia superior enough, after all. That was what happened to Strathmore. He should have known better, because his youth had been spent among women who were lovely in every way; but the memory of man is short and he was lonesome. There should be provision for this in the regulations. When a man ijet s any of the ills that frontier service is apt to tad MC, they bundle him off back east on a sick leave; yet when which is infinitely more prejudicial to the standing of the service he r:n!.. tl.i pe of lonelinrs where he would marry the Witch of Kndor herself rather than continue to be alone, there is no one to indorse his application to be sent somewhere where he can lind the proper sort of girl. Strathmore had been in the wiMernr a matter of iVC ear-. nnd he was gradually, very gradually, lapsinr? from civilization. '1 he first it.timation of thi that ( hestcr had was that the lieutenant made unnecessarily frequent calls at a ranch ho ise me ten m les fn.n. tt reservation. Chester knew that a girl lived there a dreadful firl, who had a plumply pretty figure and face, but whose speech was a thing to shudder at, and whose name, besides being Halloran, was Mamie Pearle. He also knew that if that were not enough to set S: rathmore's teeth on tdgw, he must be in a very bad way. Al It his worried Chester a great deal. Frequent contemplation of his one photograph had furnished him with the standard of comparison which Strathmore lacked, and he could see what the outcome of things as they were iroinir was bound to be.

"If he mar ries that freckle-face Halloran (firl." he said, "he'll want to shoot himself and hf r the first time he goes east" Chester cherished a cynical kind of regret that he hadn't done as much himself some time before "or he'll compromise and take to drink instead. So," he nodded his head decisively, "he shall not marry Mamie Pearle. not" he looked at the picture a ionp time "not if I hare to marry her myelf.

Hut the way the altting-rora had been !;- J. that morning had disgusted him. Ossdsj and for all, with single life. The next day he was officer of the day ui.l couldn't leave the poet. The day after that he had a cold which be had caught making his rounds, and it confined him to the house. As for Chester, the way he put In his time never did become quite clear. Hut for a period of six days there waa a strange Knglishman in a town some 15 miles the other aide of the Halloran ranch; some 25 miles that is, or more, from the post. It was a mud town, and it hotel was an bad as Its reputation, but the Knglishman stayed there. He wore a conspicuous suit of clothes, and spent money ostentatiously. He let it be understood that bis name was Iovatt, and that he was a lord; alsei, that he was traveling through the west, and might, if he fancied the country, buy a ranch. It was probably with that end in view that rode almost at once to the Bnllornn place and explained to the- haciendado that he would like to be shown how a ranch was run. He met Miss Halloran, and her father told him that p was engaged to a lieutenant at a 1 igbboring post, tart that a severe cold was confining the officer to his houe. He expressed a wish that Ixnatt might meet the lieutenant some day, and Lovatt hoped that he would. It was possibly in this hope that he called at the ranch for six successive days, but always had he but known jt at an hour when it was q . te unlikely that anyone would be coming over from the post. After that the saw him no more. On the evening of the seventh day Chi- 'er ums in charge of Strathmore' quarters ajrain. Strathmore was recovering from the cold, and he told Chester that be had missed him profanely much. Kverything had gone wrong. He a-,ked what the striker had been doing with his time. I 1 iter threw an armful of wood upon the fire, and stood up, hrush'ng the chips from his sleeves. "Well, sir," be answerer!, "I have been getting engaged " Strathmore'a jaw fell. That meant that he would have to hunt up a new striker, of course. Then he remembered Mamie Pearle. "That's rather a

"The lamp chimney ," said a man acquainted with the truoe. to a New- York Sun reporter, "seems a simple sort of thing, but there are not many things of more common use- the world over, and in the aggregate the number -M is enormous.

The greater number are now made west of t lie Allegheny mountains in Pennsv 1 vania.
