CHAPTER I.
Midway between Lampasas and San
Saba the Colorado river runs—a wild,
romantic, winding stream. At times its
placid current flows evenly over dim
pling shoals and gleaming pebbles.
Again the water deepens, aad by flower
bordered banks its current eddies sullen,
slow and grand. But there is one place
where the river plunges madly down
ward to roar at the base of precipitous
rocks and writhe over bowlders in its
shallow bed. Overhead dark hemlocks
curtain this rage of waters from the gaze
ef day. The sunlight enters only by
stealth and then in tremulous pencils.
At such momenta, against the somber
green of the swaying pines, the redbird
flashes or the indigo bird is seen—a liv
ing sapphire in the sudden light. And
the rippling melody of rival mocking
birds enters the solemn aisles as though
the gate of heaven were left ajar. Within
these aisles the foot sinks luxuriously
amid cushions of hemlock boughs and
pine needles. The tall, time scarred
trunks lift themselves dimly like pillars
of some leafy gothic dome. The vague
ranks of forest exhale their cool, damp
spicery. All nature is hushed and wan.
Only the river’s moan comes faintly, and
everywhere roundabout and pervading
all things are the twilight and seclusion
beloved by the dryad.
Whether Miss Cynthia Dallas on a cer
tain mild February afternoon was at all
impressed by any of these sylvan sugges
tions 1 cannot say Her untutored mind
was as yet guiltless of mythology, and no
vision of straying god or goddess, no
whimsical train of nymph and faun, had
hitherto invaded her slumbering fancy
Yet swinging lightly in a netted ham
mock within an innermost recess of this
spicy vault, just where a slanting beam
of sunlight fell full upon her graceful
figure, she might well have been mistak
en for some wood nymph surprised amid
her favorite haunts, so quaint a figure
was she, and yet so essentially in keeping
with the woodland stillness, of which she
seemed a part. She reclined at ease and
lazily as the hammock swung noted the
soft play of sunlight through the boughs
above and the trembling arabesques of
spray and shadow. Her hands holding a
small leathern whip with deer foot han
dle were clasped behind her head, at once
with graceful and careless abandon. A
blond beauty somewhat sun tanned and
freckle strewn, her attire a plain blue
woolen gown that clung almost tenderly
to the charming curves of her figure, but
swinging thus, and with a little silver
spur upon the shoe of her left foot tin
kling as she swung, a fascinating picture
certainly for some stumbling Strephon.
Miss Cynthia was at present barehead
ed. 1 regret that this negligence had be
come a habit. There was. 1 believe, a
felt something lying on the ground
among the pine needles, which, from the
fact that it was decorated with a ribbon
or two and a gaudy woodpecker’s wing
at an extravagant angle, may have beou
once intended for a becoming bonnet.
But at the unexpected moment of the
young lady’s introduction a pet antelope
fawn was attempting to browse upon it
and from present indications meeting
with gratifying success. The antelope
was assisting his prandial experiments
by a vicious attack upon the hat with
his sharp fore feet. A grave hound, seat
ed upon his haunches at a respectful dis
tance, regarded the antelope’s sincere ef- j
forts with a solemn approval that was
certainly flattering. Cynthia, her ab
stracted eyes still lost in contemplation
of the swaying canopy of green above
her head or watching through a sudden
vista the calm poise of a gray hawk cir
cling aloft in the limitless ether, was
rapt and all unconscious.
Suddenly she raised her head with a
start. A sharp, articulate cry broke the
stillness The antelope dashed away in
sudden panic to a remote corner of the
bower, where be stood eying her askance
a few feathers from the gaudy wing
still clinging to his mouth. The great
hound raised himself with a preliminary
stretch and monstrous yawn, as if ex
peeling a departure.
The "girl caught up the luckless mu
with a gesture of annoyance and a snap
of her whip in the direction of the tern
fled fawn—a movement at which the
honnd, with drooping ears and tail, was
stricken into an attitude of eloquent re
proach. •
"Not yon, old boy," she said kindly
patting his broad head, "but his impr
dence yonderl' He knows it, the cute
rascal, and he’ll hear from me latei 1
Fraps he thinks I’m sittin up nights
makin lovely hats jes’ to give him a
chance to try his new teeth. Naturally
not, 1 reckon. But, Auhis," she contai
ned interrogatively, addressing the grave
hound, “I’m sure 1 heard a noise, old
boy, didn’t you? What was tbet? Didn’t
yon get to hear it?’'
The hound, raising his ears with the
droll Interest of dogs of that family,
walked gravely to the edge of a cliff on
Which the bower abutted and looked
solemnly down. Suddenly his tail began
to wag with lively interest. The grl
sprang from the hammock with a lithe
activity that left it swinging furiously
behind her. Creeping forward cautious
ly beside him, she gazed below. Far,
abrupt and sheer, down the precipitous
descent she beheld a man floundering in
the rapids. A dog, dripping wet and
timorously wretched, was following him.
It was the latter which had awakened
Hie interest of the grave Aulus.
Both were in evident distress and en
deavoring to effect a crossing by leaping
from bowlder to bowlder amid the
whirling waters. Bu‘ the rocks were
slippery and moss grown, the current
dizzy and swift. All at once the man's
feet slipped on a treacherous stone, ami
he tottered heavily backward. He sat
down rather than fell upon his wretched
dog, which was following him closely
with frantic leaps. The animal uttered
an agonizing yelp, and with a great splash
both dog and man were precipitated into
the angry waters.
The girl threw her head back and
laughed long and musically in her sylvan
bower. At the unaccustomed sound a
mocking bird that had strayed into her
retreat and parched upon a high limb
ypiyffiptly tot and meditation
turned ms pretty head to one side and
listened attentively, as if about to favor
her with an imitation. The antelope
trotted coyly up to her. Aulus, with
rapidly wagging tail and whimpering
muzzle, testified the humor of the catas
trophe from a canine standpoint. In
this sympathetic merriment Cynthia
half reclined between her pets, one arm
about the hound's neck, the other thrown
caressingly around the’ already forgiven
fawn. The mocking bird looked down
approvingly aud actually improvised a
few bars of bubbling melody by way of
comment. Fully three minutes elapsed
in this harmonious interchange of opin
ion. Then the girl crept forward again
and peered below. The man had extri
cated himself from the water and was
seated, chilly and miserable, upon a large
rock in the middle of the stream.
Cynthia now noticed that he carried
a gun, the barrels of which had been
filled with water during his recent im
mersion. He was occupied in emptying
the fowhng piece, squeezing the water
from his dripping clothing and regard
ing with genera] discomfiture his pitia
ble plight. The dog at his side, with
cowering limbs and shivering hide, was
hardly less miserable and wretched and
expressed in pathetic dumb show his
conviction that matters -ould hardly be
worse—at least from a dog’s limited
point of view. Two large and heavy
feathered objects which the man had
just cast down from the rock completed
the group.

Finding, as usual in such emergencies, J
that missiles were not available, and that j

burst into a hearty laugh. The dog, a
handsome shepherd, which had mean- 1

resignation, took courage at once and
thankfully wagged a dripping tail that
distributed a watery benediction upon
the surrounding rocks. Then he was ap
parently rendered delirious by the pros

Aulus wagged his tail and looked in

The Uraln Work of Fashion.
Fashion makers, like poets, are born,
not made. It is not the great artists or
the leading society ladies, not even the
famous beauties, any more, that make
the mode. They introduce it, indorse
it, realize its possibilities, and all the
world follows. But the real inventor of
modes, like the inventors of other mar
vels, live unhonored and die unsung
while the other fellow gets the benefit.
They are quiet women or men, unknown
to the fashionable clientele, employed by
leading business houses to puzzle out
week after week something new and
startling, to evolve from their inner con
sciousness effective novelties to catch
the fancy of rich and capricious women
animated by a desire to outshine their
kind.
And these quiet women are playing a
great part in the cultivation of the beau
tiful and the encouragement of art.

Wealthy Heirs In a Hovel. "
Here is a pathetic story from Sydney:
A leading solicitor of that city one morn
ing received instructions to hunt up a
young man who had quitted England 10
years previously. After a considerable
amount of trouble his efforts were re
warded, and he was directed te a certain
hovel in a low quarter of Sydney. There
he found a hut, which boasted a box and
a pile of rags and straw for its sole fur
niture. A weary woman, with traces of
former beauty in her face, begged that
she and her former husband should not
be turned out of their dismal abode until
the latter was better, and a hollow eyed
invalid, stretched on a pile of rags in the
corner, echoed the petition. And these
two people vere the heirs to a fortune of
£30,000.—Boston Traveller.

"Kotjjou, old boy," she said kindly.
Her voice echoed musically down the
rocks. Above the noise of the rushing
pines, it reached the ear of the hapless
wayfarer like a silver bell. The man
started and swept the sides of the ravine
with a surprised and earnest glance.
Suddenly his gaze became fixed. He had
espied Cynthia. To the unfortunate
sjiortsman in the gloomy chasm the
bright face [leering so curiously down
upon him from its coign of vantage
was like an inspiration in the midst of
his distress. His fancy transfigured her
with all the graces of hope.
“Halloo!”
The reply came clear up to Cynthia
She put her hand to her mouth to assist
her voice and shouted down a word of
homely advice:
“Throw them turkeys into the river!
Don’t you see thet’s what’s keepin you
back? Make for the shore you've jes'
left and go down the bank a little! I'll
be down and help you over with a boat
d’rectly.”
Then the bright, animated vignette was
gone from bis fascinated eyes. Nothing
was left bnt the precipitous wall of the
ravine, with its fringing mantle of hem
lock and pine.
The man on the rock remained for a
few moments gazing upward. He smiled
with a frank good humor that threw a
genial light upon strong features, bronzed
on forehead and cheek by exposure and
partially hidden beneath a light curling
beard, more carefully trimmej than
usual on the frontier. Although be
grimed and generally disordered from
his recent contact with the river’s bed,
there was much about his dress to indi
cate the gentleman. He wore knee boot®,
well made and of modern fashion. His
jaunty hunting jacket had a stylish ent
and finish, the metal buttons being em
bossed with trophies of the chase.
The hat upon his head was new and of
an excellent quality of felt. What was
more unusual, it was becoming and
seemed in keeping with the athletic
build, the manly face and bearing of the
figure it surmounted. The gun he car
ried was breechloading and double bar
reled. A cameo ring graced the hand
that held it. Altogether he looked the
picture of a comfortable ranchman over
taken by embarrassing circumstances, in
need of nothing so much as a warm fire
side and a dash hero and there of soap
and water.
Such was probably his own opinion,
for after a few moments’ hesitation he
acted with promptness and dispatch. He
cast the two turkeys into the stream,
hardly stopping to watch them as they ;
were borne away on the rapid current
to float to some vantage point below
him. Then he looked hurriedly around
a second, shivered a little, pushed his
wretched dog off the rock into the water
and quite indifferent to the pitiful yelp
with which the favor was received ab
ruptly followed theanimal. Alternately
wading and. leaping from rock to rock
both gained the shore, the dog immedi
ately shaking himself and dispensing a
gratuitous shower that effectually
dreixhed his master where the river had
forborne.
The man recoiled, opened his month
as If in angry protest, abandoned the
idea with griinness and then looked
trrathfullv around tor a stone as more
filled clear up, as hewn- .ig away.
The liquor was poured in cjn/l it cairn
up to the cork, bnt when the squire asked
for the money it was not forthcomin;
No pleas could induce him to trust any
longer, so he poured out as much as h'
had put in and the tippler went away
The liquid which had liulf filled the jut
beforehand was not rum, but water.—
