Colton turned camially around Irom the desk by the wall, where ho was writing; his usual grist of Sundny let ters, not so much heratiHe the hotel Stationery is both excellent and Inex pensive, as becniiKe his own room was Jonely, to see who the speaker might be. The great room was filled with men and a few women, seated at the email tables drinking and chatting:, while the waiters moved silently About, well groomed products of the tipping system. The table a few feet from Cotton's elbow was now occupied by a wholly charming girl and a young man who Colton Instantly decided wbh unworthy of her. In the first place be was a touch too good Inking, and in the second place bis clothes fitted hlH figure too well, so Colton thought. Tor a man evidently In bis senior year In Divinity. Colton turned back to his desk, not to write, but to listen. "I'm glad to hear you sny so," the tudent said, continuing the convesa tlon begun before entering the room. "I've found lots of girls, up-to-date irlrls, too, .who didn't agree with me. But. what will you have to drink?" "Lemonade." said the girl. "Oh, try a cocktail," urged her com panion. "No, thank yon," she answered, wtyh that peculiar half laugh those who know women are aware is the express ion of finality. Colton mentally scored one for the girl, while her companion, calling a waiter, 'ordered a lemonado and a Scotch. "Yes," the man continued, "I have always said that It was unjust and silly in a country bo universally respect ful to women as ours, to deny a girl the opportunity of making chance ac quaintances, say during a long, tire some railway trip, or something of that sort If a girl is coming alone from Cleveland to New York on a Pullman car, and if there is a young man near her, evident? a gentleman and of her social position, why on earth isn't it all right for her to accept his offers to make her more comfortable and to pass away the dismal time of the journey in conversation pleasant for both of them? I can see no harm in it." "Nor I," said the girl. ' "I have al ways thought that, as I told you. If one has common sense, such things can be managed all right The trouble is, girls put our theory Into practice too young, when they don't know the world, and got scared Into primness." "Now, if they'd only wait till they are grown up and sensible like you," aid the man, with what Colton de cided was undue effusiveness, "how much more delightful a time they could have, with something of the freedom in getting Tresh viewpoints from Strangers a man enjoys." Colton stole another look at the girl. Yes, she was decidedly charming. He began to wish he were a hypnotist and could make the man ask her on what day and train she would return to Cleveland. Just then she glanced at htm. He turned back quickly. Could it be possible? No, he told himself; on the train, perhaps, but not here while her caller was with her; it was only his hope of reading fulfillment Into what was not there. As the dram atist said, there Is a limit to all vanity, even that of a Harvard man. "Again, haven't you been forced to wait alone sometimes for a long while In a place where it was not wholly pleasant for a girl to be without an scort?" continued the young woman's companion. "Such situations are bound to occur. Now, wouldn't It be much more pleasant tor you if a nice man, perhaps scing your embarrassing po sition, spoke to you, to feel free to ac cept his friendliness In the spirit In tended, and to chat with him to pass away the tedious wait?" "I should feel quite free to talk . with him," said the girl, "it he behaved blmself." "And if he didn't you girls have al ways a way of artistically turning us down," said her companion, with a "worldly snigger." (so Colton mentally tagged his laugh). J - "Rather!" said the girl. "But I'll tell you what makes me an gry," the man went on. "That is to have a girl, when she has met a man la this fashion and found him perfectly presentable. Introduce htm to' her friends as 'Mr. So-and-So, whom I met at the beach,' or otherwise Invent a He to cover up what needs no covering. - Even irom a worldly point of view, lying- Is to be indulged in as rarely as possible.

Of course, as a matter of fact, they don't need to make any explanation, one way or tho other, when they Introduce a chance acquaintance. "I'm glad to see we agree so thor oughly," said the man, Colton turned, for he did not like the tone. "Tho flirt!" Colton muttered, and dropped a book from the desk with a loud noise. It had the desired effect, for the man straightened up. Ills cigar was burned out, and ho remarked to the girl: "If you'll excuse me I'll got a fresh cigar. I know tho kind I want, but I've for gotten the name, so I cannot order from the waiter. Yon don't mind be ing alone a minute, do you?" "Certainly not," she said. "I shouldn't think she would," thought Colton, an he watched her com panion go out of the room. Five, 10 minutes, passed, and he did not return. Colton stole a took at the girl. Hhe was sitting alone at the ta ble, looking about her nervously, for the room was now filled almost (ntlre ly with thirsty men. Fifteen minutes passed, and two !nrge specimens of the west entered, portly and red faced as the Indirect result of fortunate mining speculations. They approached her ta ble, the only one with vacant chairs. Her nervousness Increased. She looked ombarrnssod and very lonely. Should he or should ho not? Colton debated. Wnsn't the game worth, tho caudle, anyway or rather the snuffer? Just (line she glnnced at him again. The westerners were almost there. He do elded. "Pardon nio," he said, "but when a girl is forced to wait alone in a place whore It Is not wholly pleasant to be without an escort " "You have good ears," she Interrupt ed coolly. "Then yon acknowledge, that they haven't deceived me," he replied, Bit ting down, for tho westerners had turned awny. "They have not," the girt snld, "but the conversation you took the liberty of overhearing, like the chair you are sitting In, wus not meant for you." "True," returned Colton, "nor was the chair reserved for those broad, de parting backs from Colorado, if I mis take not. ' "Thank you for that," said the girl, softening a bit, "I should thank yon for that. But you have done your duty now they are gone." "Oh, no, my duty Is not done they, may reutun!" said Colton. "Hut so may my escort," the girl said hurriedly. "'A touch of femlnlno timidity,'" Colton smiled. "And you know you two agree so well," he added, mock ingly. Tho girt acknowledged the touch by shifting ground. "But I haven't time to find out If you are presentable," she said. ".My ancestors came over In the Mayliower," Colton answered meekly. "Oh, everybody's did that!" said she. "Your point," laughed Colton. "But my name Is Standlsh. That should pass me." "I can hardly believe you," the girl retorted. "You would never need a John Alden." ; Then they both laughed. And from a mutual laugh there Is no return. , Presently the student camo back, and started to ask pardon for his de lay.' The girl interrupted. "Let me introduce to you." she said, pausing to watch Cotton's face, "my friend Mr. Htnndlsh, whom I met last summer in the Whlto Mountains. Isn't It too bad that he's got to run light away to make a horrid call? Mr. Addlngtou, Mr. Standlsh." Colton braced to tho shock, and eald blandly: "I am delighted to meet you, Mr. Addlngton. I wish you had been with us lust summer at the Craw ford House." "The Crawford House," exclaimed Addlngton. "I though Miss Bates al ways went to Bethlehem. Colton backed off and gathered up his letter. "Perhaps It was Bethle hem," he said, looking straight into the girl's face. "One moots so many girls in a summer it is hard to keep them differentiated." Then he went on his way.

Trarhcd Indian Over Rnk awtlara t ad Oaar (Irnunri ax Hard a Asphalt. V tiara Urn Slant of rngltlvas appearail-Awfnt Haritahlpa Ihit Mnil Ha Kndnrxil. Ono of the things of which humani ty has long stood in wonder is the ex traordinary smelling facultlea of the bloodhound, and the manner In which ho Is able to trail criminals over ground of almost every character long after the scent tins become cold. Few, however, realize that In New Mexico and Arizona, and also northern Mex ico, there are men who far surpass the bloodhound when It comes to trail ing. Men who served during the campaign against (loronlmo and the hostile Apaches, many of them expert trail ers, were from day to day overwhelmed with astonishment at the almost super human Instinct of the Mexican and Indian scouts, who on that .memorable campaign followed the fleeing Apachea over sand deserta harder than asphalt and Moors of solid rock upon which the pursuing soldiers were tumble to see so much ns a trace of passing horsemen. One of the military organizations that performed meritorious service In that campaign was Troop B of tho Fourth cavalry, which, In 1S87, was, by way of reward transferred to Fort Myer, Va.. which from that time forth has been a cavalry post, this being tho first body of cavalry that had been eaRt of the Mississippi river since tho civil war. In talking recently vtlth a mem ber of this body a Post reporter learned much of Interest i-oncernlng the human sleuth hounds that were employed In the Routhwest in those days. "Yes," said the sergeant, "I served all through the latter part of the tJer onlmo campaign under (lenernl Law ton, who was then a colonel. AVe are out six months, and during that entire period not one of us had a change of clothing. The campaigning was through one of the most mountainous countries In the world. Sometimes wo would climb up the side of an almost perpendicular slope, and at other times the descent was so steep 'that we were obliged to let our horses down over ledges of rooks by lariats tied to their tails. "Accompanying our command were about Kit) friendly Indians, enlisted and used as stouts. Talk of trailing why, I never until then dreamed that it was possible for human being to do what these men did every day of tho campaign. Ferquently we would de scend mountains, along tho slope of which old scouts of my company were able to barely make out the trail of the Apaches, until we reached a valley about half or three-quarters of a mile in width, the surface of which was as hard as adamunt. Here we could see nothing, but tbo scouts ahead, on com ing to such places, never hesitated one minute, but struck boldly across, fol lowing the trail tip tho mountain side again. "As we crossed these valleys and mounted once again up the side of tho high ridges, wo could aguln catch traces of the Apaches In the softer and looser soil of the mountain side, and many a time we have wondered at bow our Indian trailers wore able to follow the track on ahead of us over the valleys, where the surface was as hard as asphalt and crossed by fresh trolls of hundreds of rattle, horses and burros that had paHsed up or down the depression after the In dians. "The most remarkable case of trail ing that ever came under my liutlce, however, occurred In 18K7, when the San Carlos Apaches broke out of their reservation and wont ou the warpath south into Mexico. This occurred shortly after the (loronlmo campaign, nt a time when the war department had discharged all the Indian scouts attached to the southwestern posts, thinking that the trouble was all over, and that there would be no longer any use for them. Consequently, when we received a hurry order at Fort Hauchu ca to go In pursuit of the San Carlos Apaches we were obliged to leave with out taking any of these human blood hounds with us. "We Boon begun to feel the need of them, for although two-thirds of the men in the command were accom plished scouts they could not begin to do the work with the skill and certain ty of the Indian scouts trained to the work from infancy. "Along about the eighth day out we crossed a range of mountains Into ono of the most peculiar depressions I ever saw. It was surrounded on all sides by high mountains, but the singular feature was that the bottom rose up like an inverted bowl. This curious formation was solid rock that In some past period of time had been lifted up and tilted In such manner as to leave no hollows In which sand or soil could gather. Up to this time we had made slow progress thacking Indians, but when We reached this spot we gave up the task In disgiist, as there were no earthly means, so far as we could see, of tracking them across such an ex panse of naked stone. "We 8a t down to think matters over, when Col, Lawton, In stirring about, ran across an old Mexican riding along ou bis burro. The colonel asked him if he would be our scout and whether he felt himself capable of taking up and following the trail of the Indians. The old fellow gave a grunt of as tent, and two minutes later had found the trail, and, to our unspeakabel as tonishment, was leading us almost on a run across the barren spot, and up the mountain. It was then 2 o'clock I p. m., and he led us In a trot from that time on unlit N p. m., when we caught sight of tho Indians enamped In a hol low. We charged down upon them, but failed to make a capture, as they saw us In time to escape, "This old Mexican served as our trailer for the rest of this brief cam paign until wo finally overtook and raptured our recalcitrant Indians. In all that period he' never once missed we frequently passed over places where no signs of tracks were apparent to us. This, to my mind, was tho most wonderful piece of trailing I ever saw. "One thing about the southwestern Indian Is that hn ran endure what would kill three whlto men. In our pursuit of (loronlmo we at one time went without water 48 hours. The rains lu that, country occur In the spring and winter, and all over the country are deep holes In the rock, In which water collects during the rainy season and stands alt the year round until the next winter, and It was upon such places that we had to de pond for our supply of water. You have no Idea of what the water In these holes Is like. It fairly swarms with tadpoles and wlggle-talla, but to ns It tasted sweet enough. Whenever we reached these natural wells (ton. l-awton used to place a guard around them to prevent the men from wasting the water, which 'was doled out by a sergeant as long as It lasted. Some times when we would ramp In tho bed of a drled up crook, tho men would spend the whole night digging holes In tho sand In which about a pint of water would collect In throe or four hours. "The vegetation of tho south western country Is peculiar In that nearly every growing thing has thorns on It. The result was that long before the six months of our campaign wan ended over half of our command were partly naked. All I bad was a pair of pants and shoes and a ragged hat, tho rest of my clothing having been torn to shreds. It used to amuse me when passing through a Mexican village to hoar (!on. Lawton shout: 'Boys, straighten up and try to appear ns decent as you can.' Of course, all that wo could do was to throw out our chests and look brave with what few worn and delaplduted clothes we had on our backs. "I accompanied Gen. Lawton as a member of tho guard that took Geron Imo and his band to St. Augustine, Fla. These Indiana had never been on a railroad train in their lives, and It made them seasick. In fact, their ill ness bi-came so serious that we had to stop 10 days at San Antonio to lot them recover. In this the Indians showed up at tho little end of the en durance question, but tuke them in their native mountains and they can stand anything. . I think, though, that another six months of the kind of campaigning that we underwent on this trip would have made us hardier than they. "Tho hardships that we stood were something awful. On one occasion, when we had been without food for 48 hours, we found a cow that the In dians had killed, and the carcass of which had laid out In the sun for four days. We drove the buzzards away, and though the meat was decidedly 'ripe,' we ate it. Gen. Lawton saw what we were doing and sent an or derly to tell us to leave the meat alone, that it would make us Rick But we sent him a steak, which he ale that evening, saying that ho had never tast ed better In his life. On another occasion we lived on dried apples and beans, without salt, mind you, for 1(1 days." Washington PoBt. THE DESTRUCTIVE WOLF., remain Kill Sarnilnclv from Fur la- Ira lo May. It has Ion t been a question among the Intelligent cattlo breeders of Now Mexico and Arizona, whether or not tho black wolf of thouo regions and tho whlto one thut occasionally occurs aro '""n-npt of the wnlf tribe, or elmply a natural variation in color in iiuliu l wu,u miiiiiown cause, Tho few white wolves tho writer has seen, and these wore observed away back !n 18110, appeared to bo larger than thoir follows In gray and black, while tho black wolf seemed tailor than cither of the others and swifter, but not so heavy. The Mexican Bhecp herders, who aro very close observers In mat tors that personally Interest them, say that In deBtructiveness the white and black wolves far exceed the ordinary big gray animals. How this may be or whether it is true or not Is a matter that the writer has never been able to satisfactorily verify. The one thing ho does know is that in a litter of five young wolves two were very much darker in huo than the ethers, and gave every Indication of a determina tion to a deep black when they had at tained to their full maturity in size. One fact In wolf life Is established beyond any doubt. The female wolf is more destructive than the male. She Beeras to kill out of a pure love of de structiveness. One female wolf, on tho borders of New Mexico and Ari zona killed in one night over 40 sheep belonging to a Mexican shepherd. It made no attempt to eat any portion of the sheep thus destroyed. Their throats wree simply bitten half through, and this killing was accomplished within one hundred yards of the Mexican ja cal or sleeping place, a clay built hut, with Its owner reposing within it. It was a dark' or rather a pitchy black night, with a heavy electric storm of thunder and lightning In progress, with an occasional fall of a few drops of rain. Tho language used by. this shepherd next morning when he wit nessed the destruction exhausted the Mexican-Spanish vocabulary In invec tives, which is not excelled by any tongue upon earth. William Hugh Robarts In Shooting and Fishing. PAINTED HIM CREEN. Aainalnc ttaatdt ef fainter' Qnarrel Willi an Awning Manner. The local color In tho Jefferson Mar ket Police court was mostly green when the rase of tho People vs. Max Stoloff and David Fltspatrlck was called. No physiognomies ever beamed more effulgently than did those of the two prisoners arraigned before Ma gistrate Brann. David Fltzpatrlek) whose face, would have caused a glow of appreciation to burn within the ar tistic soul of tho late Aubrey Boards ley, was most artistically daubed with green paint, from the roots of his hair to tho tip of his chin. His appearance bore testimony to tho fact that Max Stolloff Is a painter. The parts of Fltzpatrlek's face which the brush of Stolloff had neglected stood out In pale roller, a sand contrast to the ver dure surrounding them. An erstwhile black moiiRtach drooped greenly over his mouth. Underneath the paint Fltzpatrlek's face was sad. It was plain that he felt the Indignity of his position. Stolloff, who literally stood In the reflected glory of Fltzpatrlek's face, was prevented from smiling as content edly ns ho might at sight of his handi work by an aching void, which filled the space formerly occupied by two of his front teeth. In hhi Impressionist work on Fltzpatrlek he had hfmself been a bit splashed with green. In the greenness which Irradiated from the two Magistrate Brann looked palo. "It was this way." said Stolloff. In a voice thickened and Impeded by swol len Hps: 'I was In his way, and ho told me, and then I told him I wanted to paint tho front of the bouse, only he wanted to hang the awning, and I moved away to give him room, and I totd him he bad no right to do so, but ho lilt mo In the mouth and broke two teeth for me." Here Stolloff opened his month and showed the aching void. With the solemnity of Solomon, Ma gistrate. Biann asked the Injured paint er If the teeth were false, which was Indignantly denied, StollofT adding, "but I suppose the next ones will be." The magistrate would not go Into that, however, and turning an unused eye upon the toothless man, continued his catechizing: "Then, when bo struck yon, you turned about and painted him?" "Yes. Blr; that's all I can do. That's my trVle." answered Stolloff. Magistrate Brann turnt'l to Fltzpnt rlck. There was a long contemplation before tho judicial lips opened. "Fltzpatrlek. I enn tell by your face that you're Irish," ho eald. The awning hanger had to admit that the magistrate's acumen was not at fault. "But., man, dear," continued .ae court in a rich brogue, " 'tis a beastly shamo to give you a French goatee." Fltzpatrlek again admitted that "them were his sentiments." "You are not as green as you are painted, however," resumed the court. "Tell me how you came to lie deco rated." Fltzpatrlek declared that he was en gaged In putting up an awning In fronc of a Hudson Btreet house when Stolloff appeared on tbo Bcene with paint and brushes and peremptorily ordered him to desist from hanging his awnfng. as he (atolloff) had another coat of paint to apply to the building. "The paint was green, your honor," Bald Fltzpatrlek. "Yes," replied Magistrate Brann, " 'tis evident on the face of It." "Well," went on Fitzgerold. "I told him I would put up the awning In spite of him. and ho swashed me with his paint brush; then I hit him." The magistrate sermoned the chro matic Fitzgerald for behaving like "a kid," and submitted to both prisoners tho alternative of paying $10 fine each or of accepting a discharge. The choice was left to 8tolloff, who was tho eomplalntant. After a moment's hesi tation and a glance at Fltzpatrlek: "I'll call It square," said the painter. New York Commercial Advertiser.
