Copyrighted. 1908. by Associated Literary Press. All Balmoral, with the exception of Ban Betterley and his slater, thought Colonel Covell’s joke a good one. The Betterleys were excepted because the Joke was on Dan and the talk across the bar of the Brindle Pupvaloon was hushed on those rare occasions when Betterley favored the place with bis company. At other times men slapped each other on the back and roared as Coveil detailed the progress of events The Joke had sprung from a careless remark made by Rob Headers when Julie Betterley bad refused to marry Howard Wetton on the ground that she did not want to leave Ben alone to keep house In bachelor discomfort. “Some one would do Wetton a per sonal favor by marrying off Ben,” sag gested Senders, and the rest of the crowd shouted with delight at the idea of the silent Benjamin marrying. “But he wouldn’t know bow to ask a gtrl," suggested Colonel Covell. “Some one would have to pop the question for him. By John Rogers,” he added, “I think I’ll do it for him! I’ve a maiden aunt back east who’s been crazy to get married for more years than I’ve lived. Her name’s Adora Dedrick, and she must he about sixty now. “She's got a flttle money, and she may think that he’s marrying her for that, but sbe’l! take 7 him. We’ll carry along tbe game until we’ve proposed for him, and then we’ll let Ben get the answer or else wc’l! bring tbe old lady on and let him fight It out with her.” "That would be great,” declared Henders approvingly. “Let her walk right up to him and put tier arms around his neck and say ‘Darling!’ I’ll bet that will score him into talking.” “I’ll be one to help pay the old lady’s traveling expenses on this here excur¬ sion,” broke ln Denver Bill, who dealt bank. “What will It cost?" “Say §400.” suggested Covell as he off his hat aiijfi threw in $20. In ! few minutes more than the needed had been realized, and, calling for and paper, Covell wrote the first while tbe rest of the crowd on. Betterley was not disliked In Bal¬ hut his tacifurn ways and his to make one of the crowd that thronged the Brindle Pup him a man apart from the rest the crowd was willing to pay the pleasure of seeing his amaze¬ when his undesirable bride elect appear. Unmindful of all postal regulations, postmaster agreed to let Covell the letters addressed to Dan Bet should any come from the little New England town where Miss Adora Dedrick lived- Presently It came, a heavy letter ln which Miss Dedrick ex¬ pressed a willingness to correspond with a man so well recommended by Cousin Covell. “I guess she’s forgotten you, Col," suggested Henders when this line was ranched, but Covell merely grinned ap¬ preciatively and continued to read. There was little to laugh at in the letter. Indeed, more than one in the crowd wished there was some one back east who would write letters like that to him, but Covell’s vivid descrip¬ tion of Miss Dedrick's overripe charms and the thought of what Dan would say when she arrived kept the joke alive during the correspondence that followed. Finally when Miss Dedrick wrote that she was sending her pic¬ ture and the accompanying photo¬ graph proved to be that of a comely girl scarcely out of her teens Corel) rolled on the floor In his delight. "Cousin Adora was that Ud before they knew how .to take pictures,” he insisted. “She must have begged this of n photographer. I think that it’s time to spring the joke now. We’ll send her the money to come on with and ask her to start at once. Dan will see this picture, and when Cousin Adora comes I reckon he’ll he some surprised” Covell laboriously indited a lengthy letter, in which he declared Dan’s lu ability to wait longer for his bride and begging her to come west at once. A few days later n telegram tele¬ phoned from the railroad town to camp announced her start, and when they Iwd learned the sense of the message the plotters allowed it to be delivered, while at the same time Miss Adora’s last letter and her picture, to¬ closed In the original letter, were placed back in the postofiice and de llvered to Dan that evening. The Brindle Pup kept open until 4 O’clock in the morning that the earii est news might be learned, but Dan gave no sign that he was disturbed, A scout reported that his shack was in darkness. “I don’t think I’d lose sleep my self.” admitted Henders with regret, "I suppose it took him rather sudden that some one’s done his courting for him, but bo’s willing to make good for his unknown friend with the original of that photograph." “Wait until he sees what he draws.” reminded Covell. "Hell go some shy of sleep when Cousin Adora gets after him with all those letters. She’ll nev er believe that be didn’t write them.” The thought; and*¥ren fheered the disappoint- 3 ones. when Dan went quietly to ‘his claim on the morrow and did not even ask the jvostmaster about the letter they chuckled as they thought of the awakening that was in store for him. Every man to the camp was on hand when ^ho, stage came over from three days later. Far down the trafl the driver waved his hat three times as a signal that bride had arrived, and they were lined up about the front of the where they could watch Ben and sister without being so near that might suspect something. There was a tense moment when veiled figure descended from the of the stage, but a murmur of followed when It was that a heavy automobile veil was Pan came forward. and the arrival to him. He led her up to his and the three climbed Into the buckboard and were off to shack before the camp fairly that it was being robbed of fun. "It’s going to be curious when she off that there veil.” said Hen with a Blgb. "but it's darned that we can’t declare In on the I sort of feel that I’ve been "Same here,” chimed another voice, though Covell urged that there would be plenty of fun. be was unpopular for the moment. in an effort to change the humor of crowd he invited them over to the Pup, and they were still hav¬ drinks at his expense when Dab strode in and drew Coveil one side. “Poole here.” he said quietly, but a ring of determination in his “Dora has been asking for ‘Cous¬ Coveil.’ and I suppose that means If It does, you are at the bot of this trick. I want to know It all means.” “It was a sort of Joke,” explained who did not appear to bt enjoying the “Joke.” “Some the boys thought that you ought be married, so’s Julie could marry Wetton, and I remembered I had a Cousin Adora back east been wanting to be married for last fifty years, so I thought I'd the whole lot of you happy and” “And you did the writing.” couclud Dan. “From what Dora says 1 1 that never there saw. were I want a number them. ^of From the saloon safe Covell esfr- t the package of letters and silent y them over to Bettecley. “I suppose you know what the pun is for illegal use of the mail?*. asked, raising his voice. “The first from any one that reaches my ears to the effect that she was victim of a rotten practical joke bring a postal inspector here who see that you get what’s com lug to r “Your wife!” gasped Covell. “Von mean to say that you’re going to that mummy!” “Doesn't the fact that you are atUI argue that?” asked Betterley. joke appears to be on you.

There Is plenty of evidence of the very best sort which goes to prove that not only Europe and North America, but the lands situated within tbe are tie circle, must have enjoyed a tropical climate. The numerous fossil remains found in those regions are those of plants and auimals which, according to the present state of our knowledge, must have lived under conditions now found only In the equatorial belt.
