The narrow Missouri prairie lay bathed in sunshine, its green waves dotted with brilliant 1 flowers. In the surrounding woods, too, the flowers grew and budded and blossomed in due season, although no human eye might be gladdened by their beauty. A few farms interrupted the stretch of unbroken sod, their pio neer abodes near the wooded bluffs skirt- j activity to an unaccustomed degree, and impressed the country visitors who loungod about the attractive resort* of Bluff City with a sense of its metropoli tan grandeur. “Right smart o’ folks hyerin ther city to-day (” ventured Hy Todbeater to the overpowering clerk. “Full to the roof,” he responded, loftily, his thoughts limited to the pros perity of the hotel. “Got a case in court, Mr. Todbeater?” “Naw,” replied the settler, shambling across the room. “Mought kev hed ez well ez not, too. Duck Hawkins’s sheep they’ve been runnin’ in my pastur’ half ther time lately, an’ I’d ’a’ sued ’im fur it sure ef it hadn’t been fur Pamely bein’ so sot agin it.

A young man of easy appearance en tered the room, and at once greeted Hy Todbeater as an acquaintance. He was well dressed and even attractive, if one avoided looking into his eyes. He drew the settler along hurriedly toward one of the row of wagons encircling the square, and then told him to stop a moment be fore the most pretentious store. He came out with a large package in his hand, and took a seat beside the settler. “Drive on?” he said hilariously. “You’re a rich man Hy Todbeater?” “I allow it’ll be all right ef Pamely don’t”—reluctantly hesitated the other. “Ob, I’ll see to that!” said the young man, with grffld confidence. “I’ve got *e Portuguese Government hns pht out the tobacco manufacturing panies of that country, so that the fion of tobacco will henceforth be fnment concern.

Her dark blue eyes grew round and black with astonishment and admiration. She glanced down at her faded enlieo skirt, and the contrast seemed too great. Never in her life had she possessed such a beautif.il gown. Then she lifted her face to look straight into the heavy lidded eyes of Jim Carroll. A sudden change came over her; she shrank back awkwardly. “I reckon I don’t want no new dresses jist now, Mr. Carroll. Yer kin give it to barrassment, for beside him sat the young lady.
