CHAPTER 1
ONCE WAS CNOUGH.

Lower Regions.
"Harkl What's that?"
Mrs. MeSwat sat bolt upright in bed and
"BiIUkwI" she exclaimed in ahorse whis
per, shaking her snoring husband, "I hear
anotnel"
"Wh-whvhatf Wheref" said Mr. Mo-
Bwat, waking with a jerk. 'What's the
matter, Uobelia?"
"'iabl Listen! There It is againl It's
own stairs, uilliger, there's somebody in
iiic nouse: ,
Billiger listened a moment
She was right.
There was a noise down stairs a shuf
ling, stealthy kind of noise, as if made by
somebody who was unacquainted with the
premises and had no business there.
He rose and dressed himself by thrusting
his feet in a pair of slippers and pulling on
a dressing gown. Then he lighted a dark
lantern he had purchased for emergencies
of this kind, armed himself with a patent
, carpet stretcher one of the deadliest weap
ons known to science and turned to his
fife. . "
"liOlielia," he whispered huskily, "remain
here. You can do no good. I will meet this
Invader alone. But stayj If there should
be more than one," he continued, grinding
his teeth, "and you hear me call out, yon
mj cume mi me top or tne stairs and yell.
Make all the noise you can. It will coutrey
the impression that we are expecting them
and are prepared." -
With his dark lantern in one hand and
the deadly carpet stretcher in the other he
started slowly down the stairway, coughing
- loudly as he went, v
Mrs. MoSwat listened with painful eager
ness. She could hear Billiger rasping hia
terrible weapon against the balustrade and
coughing with violence that increased
every moment.
Presently the noises ceased. It
.; dent that Billiger was searching the house
with a view to slipping upon the marauders
unawares.
Then there came a wild yell.
Without waiting to assure herself wheth
er it came from Billiger or the burglars
Mrs. MeSwat seized a chair, ran to the head
of the stairs, screamed with all her might,
tumbled the chair down to the floor below,
rushed back for the washbowl and pitcher,
sent tbem flying after the chair and hurled
down a broom, another chair, a small trunk,
v a bootjack and several other articles of a
portable nature that stood or lay within
reach, her voice ringing out all the time in
a series of wild, blood curdling shrieks.
While the din was at its height Mr. Billi
ger MeSwat appeared at the foot of the
: Stairs.
"Lobelia!" be shouted, dodging nimbly
as a towel rack flew past his head, "what
on earth do you mean by this infernal rack
et? You've broken I0O worth of furniture
and roused the neighborhood) The police

over the ruins in the hallway and bounding

temptuously, throwing the latent carrot
stretcher under the bureau, extinguishing

sheets again. , "Lobelia, if you hear any
more burglar or thieves or robbers in this
nouse tonight and wake me up again there'
going mi oe trouble, madam. Go to bed!"
And all the rest of the long, weary night
Lobelia lay abed, wide awake, and listened
to the deep, regular, ceaseless snoring of

City Girls la the Metropolis,
One cannot help noticing in passing
through Broadway or Fifth avenue, or
when attending the opera or the thea
ters, that the metropolis has never
known so many beautiful women as at
present. 1 stood in the windows of
Fifth avenue clubhouse the other dav
and saw the procession file by for an
hour or more. It was bewildering, in
spiring.
But these were not all New York
women, although the dames of the city
are fair enough in good sooth. In the
hopping neighborhood and on the prom
enades now yon will see women from
Boston, from Chicago, from PhiladtJ
phia, from St, Louis, from New Orleans
and San Francisco. More than this, you
will see fair dames from Paris and Lon
don. Some of the more experienced
critics say they can tell a woman from
Boston from one from Chicago, and one
from St. Louis from one claiming S .u
Francisco as her home. There is a Rood
deal of humbug about this, and yet
there is a modicum of truth in it too.
A Boston woman has of course an in
dividuality of her own. She has some
what lost faith in Howells, but she still
worships idols of an intense sort and in
an intense way. But she is handsome,
and if she does wear dainty glasses on a
pretty nose, and largely for effect, yon
must admit that the effect is good.
The Chicago girl used to be described
as being breezy and loud. As a matter
of fact she is now very like her New
York sister, since the latter has gone in
for open air sports. The New York and
Chicago girls now have physiques not
inferior to those of their brothers. In
deed, this is in many cases putting it
mildly. As for beauty, they are in that
quality what the New York gamin pro
nounces ont or sight. Tne southern bean
ties are not bruaettes to the same extent
as formerly, and any one who expects
the San Francisco woman to be very dif
ferent from her eastern cousins expects
too much. To admire all these yon must
ee them together, and then note the
picture, and if yon do not admire it 1
pity yon. " " . . .

The dress 1 am now going to put be
fore your mind's eye was gray brocade,
with a pattern running in stripes -yon
are well aware that stripes give height
to the figure and was made with a red
ingote of bengaline falling in straight
lines to the edge of the dress and fasten
ing in front with cnt steel bartons. There
was not a wrinkle anywhere, and the
only trimming on the front of the dress
was a ruche of silk.
The bodice was softened with a jabot
of gauze at the neck. I think the lady
showed good sense in choosing to be
married in a dress of this kind. Another
gown was black satin, trimmed at wide
intervals in front with narrow stripes of
jet it naa two bodices. The one for
evening wear was cut square in front
and V at the back and was outlined with
jet It had a lace vest and loose, open
sleeves, falling in a point just over the
elbow frilled with lace. The day bodice
had no trimming, and was fastened down
the front and at the wrists with small

Nearsighted and Blonds.
l Boating semiscientific Danurranh
tells of the discovery that nearsighted
ness prevails to a larger extent among
blonds than among brunettes. The
discoverer refers to the number of spec
tacles worn in Germany as a proof of
tne correctness of his statement His
deduction, however, is wrong. In Ger
man schools the fact is well known that
of the wearers of glasses the number of
Jewish children, who are almost invari
ably brunettes, is much larger than that
or mono uerman pupils. The same con'
dition is observed here. Blindness reach
es the highest point in civilized lands
(218 persons to 100,000 of population)
among tne spamaras, who are, prover
bially and conspicuously, brunettes,
wnueit is mncn. smaller in Sweden (91
per 100,000, or less than half), the land
of stalwart and rosy cheeked blonds
The United States, by the way, has the
lowest ratio of blind population in the
world. Egypt has the highest New
York Sun.
An Evil Women Can Comet,
There is a serious invasion of everv.
body's comfort at the theaters here. It is
the indefensible habit of grabbimr hat
shoes and wraps as a performance near
me ena, ana the moment, or frequently
before the moment, when the bell for
the final curtain sounds, to rush for the
door. tmfortunately this bad habit is
not peculiar to Indianapolis, as any one
will testify who goes to the theater in
any other city. In churches also in this
city it is the custom of many unthinking
men to annoy every one around them by
pntting on their overcoats while the
benediction is being pronounced. Their
object can't be to save time, for they
don't get out a moment sooner on ac- i
count of their unmannerly haste. In-

He Mil nil thU with uca freedom.
It was an enormous wheat field in the
Santa Clara valley, stretching to the ho
rizon line unbroken. The meridian sun
shone upon it without glint or shadow,
but at times when a stronger gust of the
trade winds passed over it there was a
quick, slanting depression of the whole
surface that was, however, as unlike a
billow as itself was nnlike a sea. Even
when i a lighter zephyr played down its
long level the agitation was superficial.
and seemed only to momentarily lift a
veil of greenish mist that hung above its
immovable depths. Occasional puffs of
dust alternately rose and fell along an
imaginary line across the field, as if a
current of air were passing through it,
but were otherwise inexplicable.
Suddenly a faint shout, apparently
somewhere in the vicinity of the line,
brought out a perfectly clear response,
followed, by the audible murmur of
voices, which it was impossible to local
ize, let the whole field was so devoid
of any suggestion of human life or
motion that it seemed rather as if the
vast expanse itself had become sud
denly articulate and intelligible.
"Wotsav?"
"Wheel off."
"Whar?"
" N the road."
One of the voices here indicated itself
in the direction of the line of dust and
said "CominY and a man stepped out
from the wheat into a broad and dusty
avenue.
With his presence three things became
apparent First, that the puffs of dust
had indicated tho existence of the in
visible avenue through the unlimited
and nnfenced field of grain; second,
that the stalks of wheat on either side
of it were so tall as to actually hide a
passing vehicle, and third that a vehicle
had just passed, had lost a wheel and
been dragged partly into the grain by
its frightened horse, which a dusty man
was trying to restrain and pacify.
I he horse, given up to equine hyster
ics, and evidently convinced that the or
dinary buggy behind him had been
changed into some dangerous and appall
ing creation, still plunged and lucked
violently to rid himself of it. The man
who had stepped out of the depths of the
wheat quickly crossed the road, un
hitched the traces, drew back the vehicle.
and glancing at the travelers' dusty and
disordered clothes said with curt sym
pathy:
"Spilt, too but not hurt eh?"
"No, neither of us. I went over with
the buggy when the wheet cramped, but
she jumped clear. "
He had made a gesture indicating the
presence of another. The man turned
quickly. There was a second figure a
young girl standing beside the grain
from which he had emerged, embracing
a few stalks of wheat with one arm and
a hand in which she still held her para
sol, while she grasped her gathere 1
skirts with the other, and trying to find
a secure foothold for her two neat, nar
row slippers on a crumblinz cake of
adobe above the fathomless dust of the
roadway. Her face, although annoyed
and discontented, was pretty, and her
light dress and slim figure were sug
gestive of a certain superior condition. -
The mans manner at once softened
with western courtesy. He swung his
broad brimmed hat from his head and
bent-hia body with the ceremoniousness
of the country ball room. "I reckon the
lady had better come up to the shanty,
out o the dust and sun, till we kin help
you get these things fixed," he said to
the driver. "FJ1 send round by the road
for your boss, and have one of mine fetch
up your wagon."
"Is it farT asked the girl, slightly ac
knowledging his salutation, without wait
ing for her companion to reply.
'uniy a step this way," he answered.
motioning to the field of wheat beside
her.
What! In there? I never could co
in there," she said decidedly.
"It's a heap shorter than by the road
and not so dusty. Ill go with you and
pilot you."
The young girl cast a vexed look at
her companion as the probable cause of
all this trouble and shook her head.
But at the same moment one little foot
slipped from the adobe into the dust
again. She instantly clambered back
with a little feminine shriek, ejacu
lated, "Well, of all things!" and then
fixing her annoyed blue eyes on
temperature from below, if tn whole
X$t field had a circulation of its own,
and that " the adobe , beneath her
feet was gratefully cool to ber tread.
There was no dust, as he had said; what
had at first half suffocated her seemed
to be some stimulating aroma of crea
tion that Ailed the narrow green islet,
and now imparted a strange vigor and
excitement to her us she walked along.
Meantime her guide was not conversa
tionally idle. Now. no doubt she had
never seen anything like this before? It
was tho ordinary wheat, only it was
grown on adobo soil the richest in the
valley. These stalks, she could see her
self, were ten and twelve feet high. That
was the trouble, they all ran too much
to siaiK, tnortgn tne grain yield was
"suthen pow'ful," She could tell that
to her friends, for he reckoned she was
the ouly young lady that had ever
walked under such a growth. Perhaps
she was new to Californy? He thought
so from the start Well, this was Cali
forny, and this was not the least of the
ways it could "lay over" every other
country on God's yearth. Many folks
thought it was the gold and the climate;
but she could see for herself what it
could do with wheat Ho wondered if
her brother had ever told her of it Nor
The stranger wasn't her brother nor
cousin nor company no, only the
hired driver from a San Jose hotel,
who was takin her ovor to Maj.
Randolphs. Yes, he knew the old
major; the ranch was a pretty place,
nigh onto three miles further on. Now
that ho knew the driver was no relation
of hers, he didn't mind telling her that
the buggy was a "rather old consara"
and the driver didn't know his business.
Yes, it might be fixed up so as to take
her over to the major's. There was one
of their own men a young fellow who
could do anything that could be done
with wood and iron a reg'lar genius
and he'd tackle it It might take an
hour, but she'd find it quite cool waiting
in the shanty. It was a rough place,
for they only camped out there durinir
the season to look after the crop, and
lived at their own homes the rest of the
time. Was she going to stay long at
the major's? He noticed she had not
brought her trunk with her. Had she
known the major's wife long? Perhaps
she thought of settling in the neighbor-

mere vulgar curiosity, but as often the
courteous instinct of simple, unaffected
people to entertain the stranger by in
viting him to talk of what concerns him
self rather than their own selves was
nevertheless, I fear, met only by mono
syllables from the young lady or an im
patient question in return. She scarcely
raised her eyes to the broad, jean shirted
back that preceded her through the
grain until the man abruptly ceased
talking and his manner, without losing
its half paternal courtesy, became grav
er. She was beginning to be conscious
of her incivility and was idly trying to
think of something to say when Be ex

shell of unpointed boards that scarcely
rose above the level of the surrounding

warped and shrunken into long fissures
that permitted glimpses of the Bteel blue
sky above, was evidently intended only
as a shelter from the cloudless sun in
those two months of rainless days and
dewless nights when it was inhabited.
Through the open doors and windows
she could see a row of "banks," or rnde
sleeping berths, against the walls,
furnished with coarse mattresses and
blankets. As the young girl halted, the

ner a tin cup or aeliciously cool water,
exchanged a few hurried words with his
companions, and then disappeared with
them, leaving her alone. .
Her first sense of relief from their
company was, I fear, stronger than any
other feeling. After a hurried fflance
around the deserted apartment she arose,
shook out her dress and mantle, and then
going into the darkest corner supported
herself with one hand against the wall,
while with the other she drew off one
by one her slippers from her slim, strip
ed stockinged feet, shook and blew out
the dust that had penetrated within and
put them on again. Then perceiving a
triangular fragment of looking glass
nailed against the wall, she settled the
strings of her bonnet by the aid of it
reflection, patted the fringe of brown
hair on her forehead with her separated
five fingers, as if playing an imaginary
tune on ner orow, and came back with
maidenly abstraction to the doorway.
Everything was quiet and her seclu
sion seemed unbroken. A smile played
for an instant in the soft shadow of her
eyes and mouth as she recalled the
abrupt withdrawal of the men. Then
her mouth straightened and her brow
slightly bent It was certainly very un
mannerly in them to go oil in that way.
