n snuggled down 'twixt the snorin
b'ars to git warm. A week passed
away. I hadn't had nothin to eat, 'n'
natur' were gettin' her dander np. The
two b'ars hadn't never winked nor
moved sence I j'ined 'era. I hated to
distiirb either of 'em, but I had to hev
meat, n' so, on the seventh day I took
out my knife, felt ez pentle as a passin

"Iroin bark inter the hole I noticed
th't fer the fust time t'other bar seemed
to be pettin oneasy. She kinder moved
about 'ii grunted, 'n' seemed disturbed
in her dreams.
" "Smelt her ol' man a cookin,"
mebbe,' suy I, turnia' over "n going to
bleep.
I'd know how long I were asleep,
but I were woke up kinder snddent

"n the p'.ner'l expression o her eount"

fum the looks o' things I sh'd think
th't the old lady had been takin' in the

kim "fore she chawed my bones. I br
pun to reach fer my knife, w'en I heard
the howl ' wolfs on the outside. The

counted the wolfs. Tha was twenty-nine
of "em. I liggered it up quick,
'n' found th't they wu worth jist two
hundred and thirty-two dollars, the
bounty on 'em bein eight dollars a

'That's enough! I holler, jumpin
fer joy. 'It's enough n' thirty-twodol-lars

'Xo more dumps fer pap!' says I.
I took oil my moe'sins "n cut 'em up
inter thongs. 'X I cut my powder horn

the old b'ar was fightin the wolfs I had
noticed sumpin. I had noticed th't
that snowbank th't pitched off twixt
me 'n' Sugar swamp was kivered with
a thick or ;st of giaria' ice. I tied the
two dead b'urs and the twenty-nine
dead wolfs together by the legs, stiff 'n'
snug. I drug 'cm to the edge o' the
glarin' 'n' fluria' field o" snow. I took
the two b'ar cubs one under each arm.
Then I laid down amongst the b'ars 'n
the wolf, 'n' pushed 'em onter the
pitchin' glare o snow. I 'member tha
was a whizz n" a whoo 'n a skwush.
The nex.' thing I know'd I were settin
in our kitchen ia Sugar swamp. They
had found me in the back yard, mixed
up with the b'ars 'n' the wolfs. The

TEENIE.
Story of a Little Coquette and
How She Was Conquered.
Mt latest experience is to be caught
in the delicate filaments of a genuine
Texas idyL I
I had heard of my heroine long bef ore i
I saw her, as undisputed belle of the j
whole Dry Fork country, where she 1
held regal state, like the cruel princess j
in the fairy tale, sending away suitor 1
after suitor and champion after chain- i
pion despoiled, not of his head, but of j
his heart, and w ith several inches taken i
off the stature of his conceit. J
The family name was Drake; Teenie j
was affectionately known among her j
admirers as '-the duck;' the ranch was j
the duck pond," and whenever an- i
other unfortunate went down to wor
ship at her shrine, he was facetiously
referred to as Tuaving gone duck-buiit-ing.
She was as a rule engaged to three or
four of the best-looking and most prom
ising young sheepmen of the region,
andarried things in general with a
high hand. All this had predisposed
me to think slightly of the girl as a
poor, shallow creature, trifling with
and rejecting men who were too pood
for her only to gratify her vanity and
love of conquest.
lint perhaps the thing that prejudiced
me most - against her was her failure to
fall a victim to the charms of Johnnie
Sherwood.
- I
Johnnie and I are great friends. 1 ;
met him at balls, where he was the best ,
dancer; at round-ups, where he was the j
finest rider and ropcr.and he camped with j
our party many a night. A handsome, j
black-eyed Ixy of twe:aty-four. jast six ;
foct, with fine, squara shoulders and ;
well-knit figure, beautiful Uack hair, J
curling flat apainst his round, comely j
head, glowing eyes, a satiny cheek, fresh 1
arul warm: a nice, well-cut chin, with a

Aud thesa two were sweethearts
onee; indeed, Johnnie had been en
gaged to Teenie, "all by himself,"
w hen no me else was. and the matter
was regarded as quite Si-rious.
There was, as might have been ex

her big brothers, but on the ready offer
to "wipe up the ground" with the au
thor she weakened, and advised the
whole family that they treat him with
silent contempt which they were do
ing when 1 went there.
When I came to spend a week at the
Three Cedars rauch and see her daiiy
with her mother and her little broth
ers and sisters. I found her quite differ
ent from what I had imagined, and
was constrained to like the girl despite
my disapproval of some of her meth
ods. She was a g;od daughter, a kind
sister, and the blithest, most irrcpress
ibly joyous creature, with a frank, en
gaging boyishness of manner that I
never found in any other girl, and I
soon came to the conclusion that if she
was vain and fickle it was the fault of
the foolish men who hung about her
and ministered to her vanity. '
She rode finely, and was as passion
ately fond of it as I.
She appeared unaware of the six or
eight years difference in our ages, the
wide dissimilarity of our history, train
ing, environments, and probable aims
and ambitions, and made of me a regu
lar chum and confijante.seemicg to think
it no fault of mine that I had been city
born and bred; that at heart, and given
a fair show, I was "as good a man" as
herself.
I used to talk to Teenie a good deal
about Johnnie, dwelling warmly on his
good qualities and his winning ways.
She was always ready to argue with
me on the subject, professing to find
him the most hIJeoa and disagreealdo
of mortals. When I ceased she would
go on at some length herself, applying
to him all her small feminine epithits
of derogation, sneering especially at his
conceit.
I'crhips a more masculine bat might
have ben deceived by the appearance
of frank sincerity with wnich she
slanged" him, but. as Sister lVacock
eays. 1 ara a female mys.-lf. ard will at
the proper time acknowledge it: and it
convinced me if it convinced me of
auything that Teenie was no more in
dlif erent to J ohanie than he wa lo her;
that, indeed, bhe carried as sore a heart
as he did.
"Let s go and g?t some of those rev
urrection plants you want. Miss Alice,
she fciid t j me one Jay. "I hucv.v where

conlido a.-royo, near the i'ec-js.
Two of her slaves were about the
houc at the. time. They imuic -i.ate!y
rui-hei out. baUJled our p -nies, and
hum'-ly petitioned to bo allowed to "go
along; ' but -he refused with tha utmost
asperity a :d we went aloni. "
"I just de?pi: 'em all, som-times,"
6aid she, aa we cantered westward. "I
like to play 'em awhile, just for fun,
but when they git so they hang around
all the time there's no more fun in 'em.
Now, aiu't this a heap nicer, just us
girls, than to have a lot of fool fellows
taggin' along in the way?"
I assured her it wa and we rode
ahead, whi.-tling and tinging by turns,
for very lightness of heart.
She began whistling an air and I
struck in with the alto. She stopped
d'isvnti!i.! with my iwTfonn-inea.. ,'...
SI. BO and
you F'aih I'll trail," and when 1 took
the air bhi. ma le of it a mere frau:e,
upon wiiich she hung and
draped the most beautiful and
fanciful minor accompaniment
then turned to me and said:
"lYetty. aiu't it? I wouldn't have a
fellow that couldn't whirtle nice and
ride anything that goes would you?"
She had a rich, pathetic contralto,
with a note of hoarse tenderness in it
that went right to your heart, and so
flexible that she could follow freely
any air I sang with her own irregular,
sobbing alto.
After we had ridden ten or twelv
miles, across divides and through draws
and hollows that all looked alike to my
eyes, she turned abruptly to me, oa the
heels of a closing minor cadence.
checked her pony, pushed back her hat !
aud exclaimed: "Uy George, I'm lost."
Here was a bad state of affairs. I
was utterly helpless, and she had only
been over to the place on the Kseondido
arroyo once before, she admitted.
15ut it was only three o'clock by my
watch; cur ponies were good ones aud
we were not more' than two or three
hours fr-'m the ranch; so we kept mov
ing ahead, she scanning the surround
ing country auxiously from the top of
every divide.
Suddenly, as we were loping across a
level, she laughed out loud and pointed
in front of us.
Why, here's the arroyo; we've come
to it further north than 1 was before.
All we've got to do is to follow down."
We followed down, got our saddle
pockeU, full of resurrection plants, and
then started homeward.
"We can cross Turkey Tloost and go
down Lost Mule and it'll only be eigh
teen miies," said Teuuie. "It's a sort of
blind trail, but I can find it, and we
want to get mighty near home before
dark."
It was 4:30: there remained but an
hour of daylight, and our ponies
had already come some twenty-four
or twenty-live miles at a brLk gait
since lux.n.
We went ahead at an easy lope,
checking up every miie or so to walk lr
a i reatiiiijg space. As the sun decline 1
I 1 cenie look anxious, linally
she said: "Vie crossed Turkey Iloost all
rh.i.t, ::nd I was sure we struck into
Lo,.t f.iule on this side, but I ucclare it
don t look like it now."
We rode np oa the divide beside which
we h-u been traveling and looi-cd
arouD L "Go-id lai.d'."' siu Tctnie, "I
don t sec a thing I know. We're lost
sure enough this time aud night com
ing. We'll freeze."
While we looked and hesitated the
day visib:y w ithdrew and night dropped
down upon us like a presence. All
landmarks by which to steer our course
were obliterated, but we pushed ahead
with feverish haste.
tm au.t on xte sped through the dark
ns;, while over us wheeled the constel
lations. presently Teenie pulled up and said:
It s no use; we're like as not going
away from h-jmc instead of toward it."
We g'.-t d.jwii, staked tLe ponies,
wrnrped ourselves tr. Le .t we could
und sat down t J face the situation.
Have you never leeu aUouc on the
prairie at niht? Then yoa have never
Known how small a m-jto you are.
As w e tat hushed under the gret, w bite
stars, amid the bountllct-.s darkness, I
i-iiicied we could hear the moving of
the vast machinery of the universe, the
, hum of the planets as they spun
through the void, and the creaking of
I the earth as it turned ou its axis and
' 6hot forw ard in t vacancy.
Our surroundings were obliterated;
nothing was present but a reat, :t
darkneas and an immensity of stur
pemined space. And we ourselves in
finity of littleness amid this bpaeious
gloom we seemed but unrctne inhered
atoms.
I had resolved myself to my original
components doifed this gross corporeal
bod.. . aud w as waudering about in my
spir.t, becking to blend once more with
the oversold; too ignorant and inexperi
enced.t 3 realize any danger in our po
sitions, I reveled only in its beauty and
strangeness.
Suddenly the little prefatory whim
pering giggle of a coyote sounded out
of the night, and Teenie, who had leen
huddled beside me in a dismayed heap,
clutched my arm.
"Oh, Miss Alice! Can't you holler?
Listen to that coyote! There's timber
wolves and panthers out there, too. We
ars't got a match, nor a thing to shoot
with. I never wanted to see a man bo
bad in my life do holler! '
I took one moment to say: "Would
you even li.;e to see Johnnie Sher
wood?" and then gathered up my forces
and sent forth a powerful soprano yell
that was the effort of my life.
Hut no answer came back, and then
ensued a bad quarter of an hour for
Tennie and me. The coyotes snickered
on the hillside and howled feariully in
the nearer valley.
All at once our ponies neighed out Joy
fully. I gave a last scream; there was
an answering bhout, a clatter o! hoofs,
and soueiwlj rode down the slope and
almost over us.
How should I know it was Johnnie
Sherwood? Hut Teenio rose up, and
crying: "Oh, Johnnie! Johnnie! John
nie! ' cast herjilf at him anyway as he
jumped olf his horse.
I could see nothing of them but two

but presently a Li voice that tried to

A MODERN FAIRY TALE.
The Talented Youre llan and tho
Beautiful Maiden.
Once there lived a young Man who
started out to seek his fortune. His
people were poor and had nothing more
tangible to give him than their love
and blessing, so he set out w ith only a
pen, a blotter and a lnttle of ink.
The pen was a coarse thing steel
with a clumsy wooden handle which
he himself had whittled when a lad.
Hut there was reallv something won
derful about this ordinnry-looki-'g p-n;
the Fairies had tlppM the st. cl p":nt
with a mr.glc diamond, ,that i; 1 wt r !
that it v. rote v. ere pure, and bright, aud
sparkling.
It so happened that the yonnp Mnn
was so lucky as to find the road to his
fortune at tmce, an.l soon he was mail
ing a Cue lot of money, so that he was
brth co:nfi rtT-ie and hn-py.
Isnw, there also lived a beaut'. 'd

obliged to work all dny a- a queer
ch.ine, upon the hers of v. h'eh her
white fingers wont pluukety-pluik, and
lo! there appeared arrayed iu all ne-t-ness
and order the v.orda v.hich tiie
magic pea had written.
Ard as 1h? ?i l.n snt at her work
she comprehended the thoughts which
were bthiud the words, which, alas!
many of thos who -.vorl; tipou lilvo u-.a-chines
fail to disenver; and. r;or -o-cr.

life increases. Is'o'.v it may have been
from tiiat reason or it may liave been
but why speculate the lact was that
the iiie.Uc v. e-rdo beeame mere and
me-re frequent aud the Man'sdark loeks
ftcn trti -died the bljnde braids of tiie
iideu as they ptiadcd loug over soaia
word whie'h sse'U.ed heie-iessly in
volved. And eince she was sweet and good,
and true, and he was yemng and hand
some, and romantic, they fell deeply in
love with one another, aud they plight
ed their faith over the plunkety-plunk
machine; and he was very, very happy,
and the magic pen wrote mere wonder
fully than ever before
Soon his name was in every one's
mouth, and his verses and stories
brought him more of money and fame
than he had ever dared dream cf. And
now that he had reached what is vul
garly known as the "top notch" that
sonic-thing which is called Society
reached out its many arms to welcome
him. and it embraced him and petted
him uut.l he was dazzled by its Uattery
aud intoxicated by its pralss.
And he grew half ashamed of his love
for the Maiden and dissatisfied because
she, poor thing, liad neither position
nor wealth to bring him nothing but
her Pure, beautiful be-lf .
And so he told her one day that ho
feared that they had leea too hasty in
becoming betrothed, aud that he felt
that he was doing her an injustice in
keeping her bound to him by her prom
ise, when bhe might meet some one far
more worthy of her love than he, and
he said that perhaps it had 1-een all a
mistake their little castle in the air
and he hoped she would always con
sider him her best friend, etc, etc
And the Maiden looked into his face,
at first w ith a startled, hurt expression
ia her beautiful grp.y eyes; thn as he
went on, her glance turn to scorn and
when he had done speaking she said
quite calmly that he was right, and
that it luid bcea only a mistake which
tiicy need think uj more about, inl
then she shut her machine and went
home.
2ow the Tairies hive a way of find
ing out things tlit happen among
mortals wLic ii a erect deal cuickcr
than our U-L-phone or telepraph cr

vi as not many momcuts after the
Maiden left her wrk lefore a Fairy
stole unseen into the Mr.n's desk and
took the magic point from hi pen,
leaving oa!y the b.unt &zi. ru jty tip; so
that when the Mi.n took it up to write
Lis dally tatk the wordi which he
wrote were no longer bright, but were
Tery dull and stupid.
All the sparkle was pone from his
verses, aud ail tiie wir njd life from his
paragraph. So xur were they, in
fact, that the Man rwore roundly to

her work the. next day because sac was
ill so ill that the people in the house
w cut about softly su.d spoke in whis

were still unconscious and if tha doc

And it so happened that upon the
night of this very day the Man attended
