' The Poverty of the Itunspnrf-M,
Some time before the death of
hia
father, (rcn. Marbeuf had married, and
the p^'enniary supplies to his boy friend
seem after that event to have stopped.
Mme do Buonaparte was left with four
infant children: the youngest, Jerome
but three months old. Their grent-
trncle, Lncien the archdeacon, v/as
kind, an f Joseph, abandoning all his
ambition*, returned to be, if possible,
the support of the family. Napoleon’s
poverty was therefore no longer rela

■■if J.J.Dicks&Bro,
bright paint on one o’ Rx cheeks, or a
string o’ no ’count beads n bangin’
about its neck. Style is fur them that
lives in cities, Cassie, an’ Ls jest os
much out o' place In here on the ranch
as a cheap herdin’ greaser ’d be out o’
place in glory. I’d never believed it
of yo’, Oasaio, thatyo'd come back here
with your foretop c.urled up in a bunch,
an’ a corset cinched ’round roV 1
wouldn’t I swear I would oft. No wom
an kin make a rancher a good wife that^ out plain,
wears a fashion pack-saddle, an’ J ’round thi
bunches up her mane like yonrs is
bunched. I moot git over the curl
business in time, but I ain’t never goln'
to have no wife thnt’ll cinch herself up
to’s she can’t breathe below—”
With n scream of laughter the gjrl
placed her hand over his mouth and
cheeked his further speech.
”Oh! Bob, Hob. you naughty boy! Is it
my poor little corset that has come he
ed in advance of their occurrence, and twedn us to waixl off vpnr love? Oh! I
wHether the reduction - - - - ... '>•
must laugh, for it’s really the funniest
thing 1 ever heard of. Why, Boh, I
could never live without a corset. It is
sueh a support and comfort, and you
know, yon wicked hoy, that my figure
is much prettier ithau it was before I
•vent to Pallas. Isn’t it, now?"
She placed her hands against her
waist and waltaed sancily around so
that he could ipspeet her neat form.
"No, tain t. ’Taln’t free an’ easy
like God intended it should bo. If
frame* made to order at E. W. Vogel’s, He’d a wanted yo’pinched up like y’
" J ■ “V Tttnr -e • s - - - ■ ,
gan to dawn upon him that her cor
seted form was Indeed far neater than
that of nnycirlpn all the ranges of
the Brazo<*9Ttter a time he was ready
to swoar that he had never seen .any
thing one-half so handsome as that
neat, graceful figure, nnd the unepr-
sotod girls of his acquaintance seemed
almost frightful ic hi* eyes when
gazed upon their loose, dumpy form*.
He began to harbor the Impression
that he had made a very pronounced
fool of himself, but his stubborn na
ture asserted it*elf. He had sold, tbe
cor*o< must go, and go it must.
“That's a ’way-up-on-top gal senee
she got back from Dallas; sih’t she.
Hob?” Allison said* to him one day,
when they met in the corral of the
Denton ranch. •
'•You don't want to make no funny
plays about that gal ' when 1 m
around,” Hob hotly replied.
- “I hqin’t neveryit found out that it
makes any difference who’s around or
who ain't around when I want to make
a talk play,” retorted AlKson.
“{Some things gits found oht mighty
sadden, Hen Allison, an* this ain’t
goTn’ %o be fur from pnrof’em. I want
to tell you right now, an’ to holler it
too, that yo’ are a nosin’
this ranch too plenty o’ late in
stead of riflin' your own ranch, an’ I
ain’t a goin’ to stand It no mo*”
“Mebbc you wouldn’t mind tellln’
m.e what business it is o’ yours whar* I
ride. Long as the gal’s tljrowed you
to one aide yoiv ain't got. ml say as to
other fellersfpitchin’ a.rope at her.”
”Yer a liar when yo’ any she’s
throwed me. an’ yo’ know it, an’ yo’
want to hit the Diamond O trail right
now-or you an’ me’s a-go in' to bump !
together pow’ful hard. Jest top that
boas o’ yours an’work him lively away
from here, or a calamity’s a-goln’ to
occur right quick."
"You talk mighty brave fur a cast
off shoe. Hob Taylor, an’ you can’t be
gin the bumpin’ business any too
quick to suit me, you poor, worthless
sneak.”.
That was the limit The two men,
their eyes blazing with anger, backed
away from each other, drawing their j
