Thailroad man was a keen judge of huan nature. Tom Weir, ranchman m the Valley of the River of
Lo8touls, Col., was on his way to New'ork to find his sweetheart. Ass sat moodily biting an unlighted cigamnd counting the mile-posts he rec&M, as in a dream, his meeting wlth'the exquisite creature he was seeltg.. He remembered that clear, brig morning when he rode jingling and L tiering into Durango, Just as the traiffrom Alamosa was pulling up to the fa tion; how he threw himself off hisustang and joined the crowd of mlnrs, cowboys, loafers and "greas
ers Jn the station platform to see the paffngers aiight. Hf heard again the murmur of admlnrUon as she stepped from the train and. walked through the throng with the&ir of a princess. Hs heart pounded madly as he recalled the masses ot red gold hair, the luscious lips, the eres of most unholy bliis the blue of the mountain sapPtndhrjcefuUvelte form.
Swcb radjotoInTTnrwir :&iaa come to visit her school friend, the wife of his neighbor. Ke remembered her wonderful pink gown with clouds and billows of lace, the tiny fan she wielded so coquettishly, the rings on her white fingers. She looked like an angel to the big, clumsy, blushing, stammering ranchman a pink and white angel with a halo of dazzling blonde hair.
Poor Tom Weir then and there lay bis great, unsullied, honest heart at her tiny feet. From tbe first moment she spoke to him he was her slave. Now he thought of those heavenly days that followed; the long walks and rides in that glorious air that mounted to their heads like champagne; the nights when the great red moon swung over the snow-covered mountain peaks; the first mad kiss, the tender confession, the sweet surrender and the solemn betrothal. And now he was going to see her! Two years had gone by since the girl of his heart had said good-by to him; since he had held her to his brawny breast and with swimming eyes and husky voice had begged her not to forget him. She had written him often sweet, kind, tender letters, letters he had kissed and cried over and put under his pillow at night. She had kept her
word. She had not forgotten him that radiant creature. O, where was a ; man so madly happy as he? And O, when, when, would this train get into New York?

The address of tbe letter he was carrying over his heart took him far uptown. When he succeeded in mastering the intricacies ot the bells ia the apartment he found a door was opened by a pert little maid, who stared superciliously at his height and breadth, his ffcihes and his sombrero. -No.'4 she drawled, "Miss Cameron Is not in; she is driving in the park." t "Can I see her this evening?" he demanded Imperiously. I -Why. no," she said, with astonished eyes, " of course not. No one ever sees her in the evening!" J -When can 1 see her he felt himself goiag hot and cold by turns.
You might possibly see her at nooa,

never up before noon. Then she shut the door with a decided bang.
Tom strode away, hurt, angry, suspi
cious. nat did it mean 7 Ari, a carriage, living In luxury. Never up be
fore noon. Suddenly he stopped and cursed himself for a mean, pitiful cur that he should suspect her of anything
that was not good and pure and wom-
anly. To-morrow to-morrow at noon.
he would see her. Everything would
be explained, and on his knees be would beg her to forgive him for his unworthy suspicions.
As he entered his hotel he ran Into a
man from Denver wnom ne anew. They shook hands and adjourned to the
bar. Tom was honestly glad to see
him. To tell the truth, the ranchman
was lonely and a bit homesick.
Got the dumps?" laughed the man
from Denver. Oh, brace up! Go to
the theater and amuse yourself. Let's
see. uo to the uotnani. meres a great show there. Out of sight. Say,
but there's a girl there that's a beauty.
The town has gone wild over her. Shs
is on only for a few moments, but she leaves an impression.- I'll see you to
morrow about noon. Good-night in a
of a hurry," and he was gone be
fore Tom could tell him that to-mor
row at noon he had an engagement.
The theater was crowded. The stage
was peopled by nosis or preny gins with brazen smiles and alluring eyes. There was plenty of fun and music
and dancing and laughter.
But Tom was not interested. Terhaps
his lonely life had not fitted him to en
joy such a shaking of foily bells. Per
haps the heart that had always rever
enced womanhood despised the dubious
jest, the offensive innuendoes. He wondered as he looked about how nice
women could bear to listen to such
stuff.
At times he lost sight of the stage. "To-morrow at noon," ran in his mind. It throbbed through the melody of the orchestra, it resounded in the strains ot song. The violins breathed and whispered and sobbed the refrain over and over, "To-morrow to-morrow at noon. At last the stage was darkened. He heard some people next him talking about the beautiful woman who was to pose as a statue. He leaned forward. The curtains parted. On a pedestal stood a woman with masses of clustering hair falling over her white shoulders. Her superb form stood out like
nfltrble against the somber background.

Though the walled area is only about 250 acres in extent, within these limits are half a dosen churches, including a cathedral. The spires and bell towers of these massive structures form the most picturesque characteristic feature of the city. The oldest of the existing churches, that of St. Augustine, was founded more than 300 years Sgo.'
