SLOW OOUBTBHIP3. • The young man had farewelled himself otit l-and Kmeline had locked the door and was untying her shco when her mother came downstairs with a bed quilt arouud her and said : '• Wanted to creep upstairs without ay hearing you, eh ? Didn't think it was an hour after iniduight, did you?" The girl made no reply, and tho mother continued : " Did he propose this timo ?" , " Why, mother," exclaimed the daughter. " You can ' why mother' all you want to, but don't I know ho has boen coming here for the last year ? Don't I know that you've burned up afc least four tons of coal courting around here?" The girl got her shoes off, and tho mother stood in tho stair door and asked : •' Emeline, have you got any grit ?" " I guess so." " I guoas you haven't. I just wish that fellaw with false teath and a molo on his chin would come sparking mo. Do you know what would happen, Emeline ?" " No." «' Well, I'll tell you. He'd oome to timo in sixty dayß or he'd get out of this mansion liko a goat jumping for sunflower seed." And Knielino went to bed hugging this thought to her bosom.

She had been receiving the attentions of a young man for about a year, but becoming impatient at his failure to bring matters to a crisis sho resolved to ascertain his intentions. When he next called she took_ him gently by the ear, lod him to 'a seat, and said: 11 Nobby, you've been foolin' 'round this claim for mighty near a year, an' hey never yet ahot oft' your mouth on tho marriu 1 bix, I've oottoaed to you on the square dear through' an' hey stood off every other galoot that has tried to chip in ; an' now I want you to come aown to business or leave the ranch. Ef you're on the marry, an' want a pard that'll stick rite to ye till ye pass in your ohecks an 1 the good Lord calls you over the range, just tqueal, an' wo'll hitch ; but if that ain't yer game drew out on' give some other feller a show fur his pile. Now sing yor song or skip out." He sang. Thahks bmhjkt ihdtjbtbkib, by Percy Bussoll.
