A CHEYENNE ROMANCE.

A young woman, who is described as " one of the loveliest and most accomplished daughters of Cheyenne," while riding through the streets of that lively city a few months ago, was thrown violently from her horse. A Spanish lad sprang from the lamp-post against which he had been leaning and endeavoured to prevent the accident, but the only assistance that he could render was to lift the lady from the ground and bear her into a neighbouring house. Then, sighing for further sight of the fair one, the youth resumed bis duty at tbe lamppost. As for the young woman, she sustained an annoying injury. It was nothing less than the fracture of one of her front teeth. The delicate pearl that flashed through " lips within whose rosy labyrinth when she smiled tbe soul was lost," was hopelessly crashed. Beauty in distress appealed to art; the young woman went to the dentist, who promised to search high and low for a pearl of the proper size and brilliancy. The search was made faithfully, but not until the dentist saw a young Spaniard leaning against a lamp-post did be find the coveted prize. The youth gladly sold one of his teeth for lOOdols., offering all his stock in trade at the same terms. The tooth was submitted to proper treatment, and the young horsewoman appeared at a ball the following evening apparently none the worse for the accident. But, with a woman's curiosity, she would have given her head to know whence came the tooth. Time passed. The Spaniard made a fortunate purchase of stock with his lOOdols., and not only began to patronise the tailor, but indulged in a bank account. One evening last week chance threw him into a select party, where the fair rider happened to he present, and he related his dental adventure. When he smiled and pointed to tlie vacant place in his mouth the young lady gave a little shriek. Her secret was discovered, and now the Cheyenne and Denver papers announce that the Spaniard will get his tooth back at the altar on the 25th of this month.
