A SEYERELESSON.
It was Glace Egcrlon's weiidlng day, and
she stood fully dressed beforo her mirror,
taking one last look, with a little pardonable
vanity, at the pretty figuro reflected there.
In another hour she should be Mrs. Ernest
Redgrave. How hard It was to reollzbj
She was a vain and rather frivolous girl.
But deep down tn tho depths or that little
wolldly heart was a well of true lova for
Ernest. If she had to glye up all this out
side show, sho would havo been quite con
tent to have gone ofTall alono with him,and
prove ho true a wife sho could be; but
there was no occasion for this, and perhaps
even Grace herself knew not how wholly
she lovciMilm. Sho was a spoiled pet child
and that any solemn duties were entailed
In the estate Upon which sho was just en
tering, sho did not pauso to think.
For four weeks she and Ernest traveled J
then they camo home to their own beauti
ful heme her father's wedding gift to her.
Here a round of festivilies nwoited them, so
that tlio young couple for three mouths had
no single ovenlng to themselves.
"I am tired, Grace. Let us stay nt hornb
to-niglit, darllna," said Ernest ono evening
after dinner, as Grace was about to leavo him
to mako her toilet for some party.
'Absurd, Ernest I You're not growing
old. surely I Besides, I promised Mrs. Bless
lugton we would come, and I cannot disap
point her."
"I don't like Mrs. BIcssinglnn. I wish
you were not so Intimate with her; and
really my head aches to-night. Stay at
home, like a good little girl."
For a moment Grace wavered. Slin look
ed within at a library, which seemed so
warm and Inviting. Sho could fancy Er
nest stretched on' the sofa, while sho sat be
sidqhim, bathing his forehead with some
fragrant cologne, and thought what n sweet
eozjf evening they might have. Then she
rencnibercd something Mrs. Blcsslngton had
said about spoiling men, ond how easy it
was to begin, und how selfish they grew.
It was well enough for Ernest tn spoil her.
(That was to bo expected J but as to spoiling
luiu no, indeed ? So she ran up the stairs,
calling back over her shoulders as she went ,'
"Come, Ernest j we've no llnle to lose.
And as to that horrid prejudice ol yours, do
try and" get over it."
Thtyecamo a temptation to tho man a
tempjation to carry out his own manly will;
hut aofler, tenderer feeling swept over him
as a yientul vision of the pretty laughing'
face passed beforo him; and halTnn hour
lateijhe slood in full dress waiting the ad-
vciitjof the beautiful girl, who, nil uncoil-
scio
sly to them both, was steering her frail
1 on to the quicksands of married mls-
vessi
cry.
A
year passed, and Mr. and Mrs. Red.
grave were still in the guy vorlex of fash-
iomlble lifo ; butto the man's spirit it had
grovn unutterably wearisome.
''l married for it h"mo, Grace," he said
one diy, in gentle expostulation ; "but what
o I see of my home?;'
, "Quite enough to satisfy n reasonable man.
Why, I shouldn't want to bo nlonn with
you all the lime, Ernest. Think how aw
fiilly tired wo should get of each other."
The thoughtless words stabbed liko n
knife; but he made them no reply. Only,
fliat even'ng, for tlio first lime, Mrs. Red
trave went to some gay assemblage alone.
Uer husband had lefused to accompany her.
1 "I am tired," he said ; "but do not let me
detain you, Mrs. BIcssinglnn is seen con
stanlly williout her husband."
"Because he Is a bear," answered Grace,
pouting,
Nevertheless she went, and after that it
was no uncommon tiling for Ernest to spend
his evenings with his books and thoughts,
while his beautiful young wifo went out
alone.
"Grace, I wish you lo give Mrs. Blessing-
ton up," he said to her one eveuing as they
sst nt dinner.
"Nonsenso, Ernest. I cannot do It if I
wished it ever so much."
"But you must do it. I will not havo you
ga to that woman's house again."
"But, Ernest, I have accepted an Invita
tion ton dinher party there for Thursday
evening."
"Then wrilo" and decline. I do not ask
you this without good raus', Utile girl ; but
things have recently come lo my hearing
regarding tliis lady, mid I do not wish my
wife's name coupled with hers'
Grace made no reply, but in her own
heart her decision was unaltered. Begin to
yield to a man's whims, and where should
she end ? Of course sho should go". She
had been married more than a year now,
and, so far, had always had her own sw'eet
will and way.
This time the latter was unexpectedly
raaa0 "V ln lleri ucr

"I shan't bo homo to dinner to-night,
Grace, You had belter dine at mother's.
By tho way, this was Mrs. Bletslngton's
night. You hod declined that Invitation?"
The first fear that she bad ever felt of Er
nest crept Into her heart at a new stern look
she taw in his eyes, and it drew her first
falsehood to him from her lips.
"Yes," she answered.
Ho stopped and kissed her more tenderly.
"I'll mnke it up to you, darling. Believe
me, I do not ask it Without good cause."
Sho stood quite still, after he had left her.
She was half tempted yet to obey htm j lut,
pshaw I what nonsense it wa's I
So, at seven o'clock, the carriage stood at
her door, and, in a bewitching dinner drets
she was driven tor the house ber Husband
had forbidden her to enter.
But tho dinner dragged not but that
Mrs. Bletslngton's chief bed done himself
infinite credit, or that her guests failed in

Redgrave's self. In vaiu she strove to rally;
compliments palled on l.er; the lighla tired
her. One thought weighed on heart and
brain l
Suppbse Ernest should be seriously dis
pleased? Well, what If ho were. Mrs. Bless
ington had told her how she had managed
her husband's first displealure.
"Seter yield 1" she advised. "Never show
that you're sorry and yoifll soon learn not
to feel sorry."
So when, at ten O'clock, she bade her hos
tess good-night, she determined not to show
that she felt any regret.

He dropped her arm then, as though sho

"I have made my choice; I abido by it.
Whe.n you aro more reasonable, I will listen
further. Kow, good-night."
Ho nlado her no answer. Sho lingered n
moment at tho head of tho stairs, hoping ho
would speak again, but all was silent.
Oh, how unhappy she was as she shut and
locked her doorl Strange as it may seem,
she had never loved her husband so well in
her life. His pale handsome face haunted
her.
"How hateful I wa's 1" sho said lo hersblf.
"As if I would not give up fifty Mrs. Bless-
inglon's for one Ernest. I will gtyo her up,
too, but I'll do it in my own way."
Onco sho unlocked tho door to go down;
But no Il would undo all that her firmness
had accomplished ; so tho bight passed, to
her a sleepless ono.
In the early morning a servant brought
her a note. It was from her husband, aud
ran thus :
"At nine o'clock I start for India, tn be
absent six months. During Ihot time, my
lawyer will consult you In regard to our sep
aration, and make it ns easy for you as pos
sible. I havo known for a long tinio that our
tastes were diametrically opposed, that all
my sweet hopes of homo were wrecked, but
not Hint you could defy and oulrago the love
which I so Irecly gave you. Do not think
mo harsh in leaving you nilhoutagood by,
but I thought it would be less painlul lo us
both."
With tcar-blindcd eyes sho glanced up at
the clock. It was just eight. She had one
hour In which to act. It was but tho work
often minulos to order the carriage, mako a
haely toilet, .wallow u cupnfeofive, then is
sue her commands to tho coach man tndrive
at any speed, but reach tho terminus beforo
tho clock struck nine. One hour to undo
what might bo a life's fatal work 1
But tlmo waits for no man. It was ten
minute past the hour when the tenrfinus
was reached, and already the train was
speeding on its way.
With a low cry of agony Grnco realized
the whole; then tho strain relaxed, and the
fair young head fell back upon Its silken
cushions In n dead faint.
"A lady fainted I" was tho cry which
reached n gentleman giving somo directions
about the luggage which he had counter
manded being put in tho mail-train.
Ho turned quickly. There stood his own
horces, his own carriage, and within it tho
lovely face of his unconscious wife.
It was the work of an instant to spring
beside her and lift it on his breast, trying to
revive Iter with his passionate kisses. At
last tho beautiful eyes opeVied, with wild
incredulous recognition.
"Oh, I om dreaming 1" she murmured,
"Ernest don't leave me."
"No, darling no I At tho last moment
my heart relented. I thought perhaps I
hod misjudged you, 'or that I had been loo
severe ond I ordered my luggage tn be taken
out of the train, and let it start without me.
My wife, I thought you did not lovo me
that you had choson the world ; btcause my
darling, no true womarf finds it hard to
yield In the man whom she can respect and
loye; and surely, Grace, you'did not find me
a tyrant."
But eho can only sob out her plea for for
giveness a plea all In easy to grant; and
even tears are sweet when kissed away by
loye's Hps.
But Graco never forgets her losson. Each
year home grows swoeter, more precious,
and eome of Iho jostling outside world is
shut away ; but Graco misses no'.hing. She

Malls go Sunday as well as week day.
Railroading out here Is very loosa ns yet
not very cystemallc. And had they moro
trains on tho road they would ha-o a great
many accidents. Two and threo tiolns
each way is all they seem to run. At sta
tions they sometimes lay half an hour.
Trains stop any where. Passengers get out
and go qnito n distance from tho train
jike walks and nmuso themselves. They
stop longer on tho prairiesi This they do

jockey town I camo 311 miles eastward lo
Thatcher, Uo town at all just one family
and nu operator, tho only operator between
Trinndad and La Junta (pronounced La
Hunta). At Thatcher I went on n caltlo
ranch and spent two or three days, and had
a good time riding horses, and rounding up
cattle and horses. I had a piod time. It
11 a wild life, this riding fleet and fast over
tho great plains. I'd make quite a ranche
man. And tho meals oh, the meals. Wo
happened to bo out of meat nud potatoes, so
wo lived on bread baked from day to day
by somo old ranchenianj and dipped this
Vienna (?) roll daintily In n gravy ol flour
nud water. Culleo in the morning, tea for
dinner and supper. For vegetables we had
boans, warmed up from day tqday. When
they wcro first put upon the stnvo in that
dirty pot, I don't know, nn old piece of pork
sailed around in the pot to add some littlo
tlayor. Beans wcro added, I guess, from
time to time as tho pot required replenish
ing. Peaches; dried) was another delicacy
that tickled the palate of the six-foot Hosier
who sat nt my elbow, remarking that things
looked as if wo were going to havo n "right
smart of good grass." One cup of molasses;
pepper, salt, sugar, dirty plates and rusty
knifes and forks, and you can easily imag
ine tho festive board to' which we all did
full justice.
Did I cat well? Well, you may Lo sur6
of that, for galloping over the prairies gives
ono a fearful appetite. I could have eaten
anything. One'a appetite is famous out
here in Colorado. Tho hut of the ranch
was not veiy spacious. It consisted of four
rooms. The hut was vory low, built of
mud and stones, gathered fiom a neighbor
ing canyon; about 7 feet high from the
ceiling to floor. No pictures adorned tho
walls. Tlio floor was dirty, chairs rickety,
windows dirty, beds were made of boards
nailed together. Yet I slept well, cat well
and enjoyed myself hugely.
La Junta is a very small place, yet it
promises at ono time lo be something. The
car shops aro to bo built there. (But
when?) I was there only a few hours. I
soon came to Pueblo'. This was all bustle
und excitement, and formed quito a con
trast to Trinadad. I got there last Satur
day morning and stayed till Sunday after
noon. It Is built in thfee pafts Pueblo
noith Pueblo and what Ihcy call the
'Mcta." Mesa nro properly forfnd most all
over the prairies out here. They aro knolls
or elevations from JO to about 75' feet high.
They are not very large, and nre generally
aloiie that is, not one connected with an
other; They are peculiar in1 formation and
abrupt in ascent, rounded at edge, and Hat
on top. They dro mostly formed of tho
same matter as the surrounding plains. No
stones, nothing but sand, clayey. This is
capped witb a layer of pepplcs and rounded
stones from 2 to 0 Inches In diameter, most
ly less, showing that at one timo they wore
subject to the inlluonce of water. While
the surroundings show no such signs. Thoy
ore very odd. 1 cannot understand It. Wa
ter Is scarce hero anyhow; but few streams
ami but few beds of streams. The town
called "Mesa" Is built on a succession of
three hills. They seem very prevnleut
here. Pueblo altogether has about 5000
people. It is now though full of gamblers,
roughs and bums. I visited all I could
while there; I am not modest at all; I just
step right in and see what Is to be seen.
Gambling rooms are open In tho best of ho
tels. In the leading one I saw in one room
three different pUys; one was the great Ba
den Baden game,"Rougo et nolr." I notic
ed one thiug more that the man who ran
the game -the banker Always made the
money. At this place they had other
games, keno, A-c I did not invest. These
places were open till early Sunday morn
ing. Sunday morning, when you folks
were listening to tho melodious church bells
I heard the click or the billianl balls and
the thump of the card players on the tables
Stores and saloons are open, as there Is no
Sunday In the west.
I left Fueblo Sunday about S p. ni. for
Denycr, Col. I camo over the Denver i
Rio Grande railroad. Tbif is a nobby lit
tle railroad, having rs narrow track only 3
feet from rail to rail. All the cars passen
ger, freight and coal cars have 6team
breaks on ttieSr, something I never saw on'
any other road. The engines aro four
wheeled drivers, and each only about two
feet iri diameter. The running slock I. the
neatest thing I ever saw. It teems to be a
half grown railroad from the rail up to the
heaviest engines.
Chineso are very numerous out hero. Sam
Sing, La Kee, kc, ic, aro found alt over
tills town. Tbey are peaceable t. frugal and
industrious. I saw one fellov? pull out n
gold watch tho other day very unconcerned.
Tcople in the East who Ira to no full know),

to prejudice them against them. The actual
condition or solution of tho whole Chinese

York, When he sentenced a rough tu prison
for robbing a poor Chinee. Tn tee this ac

I enjoyed the ride from Pueblo to Denver

This afternoon I saw another thing that
reminded mo of Paris and London, as I've
read of them and seen pictures. This whole'
week there have been races' here, but to-day
was the great race. Miss P.nnen, Champion
of Colorado and Miss Curtis, Cnamplon of
Kansas, rodo a 20 mile face for $10,000.
Colorado won, tho people and tho town all
were excited Court, theatre, business, ie,,
closed so that all could go. It is two miles
to the grounds' over a broad, livol road. Now
then, hunt up your picture of tho "Return
from the Races." It reminds me for all the
world like the great Sweep stakes anil Epsom
Derby races for which English Parliament
takes a recess. On tho rood were crowded
nrgros on mules, fino ladies lrr phtetons and
