MK. K0I1SKMAX. "Good looking, distinfrtiislied and very fond of me really, why not?" said Mrs. Vanderpool. "Of conr.-e ho is not young," she continued; "but, after all, I'm a widow of 40." Slit' folded the note she had just re ceived and placed it in its envelope. "1 think I'll say yes." she mused. "I am lonely sometimes, ami thatdear little girl he speaks of may be a very pleasant companion." The note that had set Mrs. Vanderpool into this train of thought was from the most devoted of her admirers, Mr. Nors-e-nian. A widow with two hundred thousand dollars safely invested is sure to have ad mirers, and 5Irs. Vanderpool was a hand some woman as well as a woman of means. Mr. Norseman had iron gray hair and rather an elderly look about the throat atid shoulders, but he was a man of ele gant manners. He spoke of his 'little place on the Hudson" in a way that made people understand that it wasa very line one, and that the prefix was the out growth of modesty. The general opinion was that he had retired from business. He seldom spoke of the matter. He had, however, told the widow that ho was still connected with certain mercan tile enterprises "as a sort of sleeping partner." For the rest, he dressed well, walked well, made offerings of roses at their most expensive seasons, and pro fessed himself to be madly in love with Mrs. Vanderpool. The fear of being married from mo tives of interest had often intervened to prevent the widow from accepting the pointed attentions of men younger than hersilf. They did not arise in thinking of Mr. Norseman, settled ami solid as he was. "I'll do it!" tho widow said to herself. "A woman h so much happier with a protector, and I'm sure I should be proud of Mr. Norseman; and after awhile one fades a little, and it is a great deal more comfortable to occupy a matron's poi ti"n a widow who has no family is al w;;vs a sort of elderly girl." Then Mrs. Vanderpool sat down to her desk and, taking her most delicato pen, indited on her finest paper tho following epistle: "Dn.ut Mr. Norseman I havo received your note and read it very carefully. Without actually giving you a positive answer at this moment, I will say that its contents do not displease me. I am going into the country to pay a visit to morrow and will remain away three days. On Thursday I shall be at home all the aft' rnoon and should bo glad to see you. Youis sincerely, "Adelaide VANDr.nrooL." Having m-m this billet-doux to the lamp pott box by a servant, Mrs. Van derpool prepared for her visit to an old aunt at , and shortly left New York behind her. This visit was, I regret to say, a sort of penance which Mrs. Vanderpool im posed upon herself every spring. The aunt was one of those ancient females who, having outlived vanity and the desiro to dodge Time, delight in un pleasant reminiscences and in recording the passago of years. Mrs. Vanderpool knew that her age would be mentioned within tho first ten minutes; that she would be forced to remember things she desired to forget; that all those skeletons which tho most respectable people desire to lock away in cupboards would be trotted out, and that she would return to tho city with a largo collection of ancient goods to match silks of ob.-,oleto colors, woolens of a sort no longer woven, cottons of patterns at least twenty-live years old. She would sleep in a sort of state bed room, where she always expected to see a ghost; she would be obliged to read aloud from ancient devotional works printed witli long s's. or from such nov elsas "Sir Charles Graudisoifaie I "Ame lia;" she would lie requested to lg and accompany herself on a little old piano of six octaves, which had not been tuned for thirty years, and toas.sist in tho mak ing of very coarse red flannel petticoats for the poor of the church. Sunday she would spend in a draughty little church, where a well meaning but inaudible old preacher would read ono of his old ser mons, and where much handshaking must be gone through in tho vestibule. Moreover, there would bo at least two wearisome tea drinkings oneattho res idence of Col. Whackcm, whoso memory had grown weak, and who always took her for her own grandmother; tho other at that of Mrs. Ledsky, who went to all the funerals she heard of and entertained her guests solely with accounts thereof. However, it wan a superstition of Mrs. VanderM)ofs that it washer duty to visit Aunt Tabitha, ami she always performed it once a year. On this occasion thcold lady's reminis cences were more unpleasant than usual, tho novels more wearisome, the sermons more inaudible and tho tea drinkings more ghastly, and it was with a sense of relief that she found her visit at an end and bid hor aunt good-by. Her trunk laid been sent to the depot in tho morn ing, ami, as she was fond of walking, bhe decided to follow it on foot. "Take the roatl to the right then, Ade laide," Aunt Tabi'Jm had eaid. "It's bet ter paved." Accordingly Adelaide took the road to the right and' found it much longer than bho expected. As she entered the depot her train bteamed out of it, and there was no othtr t-j New York for two loiitr hours. Tho little wooden building was close and unpleasant, and after pacing it nor Tously for awhile Mrs. Vatideriool saun tered out again, and turning down a well nhaded road came to a little yellow house, tho front of which n-omed to boa general store, while aenwi the Uick garden fence kho rad in black letters tho legend : "If cream garden." Within the fonco hfcxjd an arbor. In the urbor was u table flanked by two chairs. It seemed a de birublo renting place, and Mrs. Vuiulei pool entered and bat down. Aswoniit bhe had done nj a miiull dog came ruh Jngoutof thu houwtund lxganloUil. M furiously as though he hud been luoU ing for his enemy all his life and has just found him. andn Irony young woman with sharp features, who wore a dress, apron and sunbonnet, all made of the same blue checked gingham, stalked out of the house, kicked the dog furiously mid entered the arbor in three long strides. "Don't look at me." was her saluta tion. "I haven't had time to wash my face today, let alone comb my hair. What'll you have ice cream?" Mrs. Vanderpool assented. "Ginger snapsor lemon snaps Is all the cake I've got," said the young woman. "AVell, we have to take what we can get here. Tisn't like the city. You'ie from the city?" .Mrs. Vanderiool bowed. The young woman vanished anil short ly returned with a plate of vanilla icu cream and some ginger simps, a napkin and a glass of water on a tray, and hav ing placed them before her customer seated herself in tho other chair and re garded her steadily. "This is an awful place," said she. "Hut here I live year in and year out. I mind the store and do the homework and plant the garden and see to the refresh ments, while pa goes kiting around in New York. Did youeer hear such a case before?" "I think not," baid Mrs. Vanderpool, much amused. "A kind of prodigal father?" "You've hit it," said tho young wo man. "And I have to kill tho fatted chicken when he conies home, I tell you. He conies to collect all ho can; then oil again. As for me, 1 live principally on cold beans, and this is my best gown." Mrs. Vanderpool looked sympathetic. "Oh, pa is a case!" tho young woman continued. "Ma was single and kept this store. She married pa for his beau ty, and he never touched to do a thing afterward. Kited around like ho does now. He broke her heart flirting; but tho last thing she said to mo was, 'Take care of poor pa.' Well, I slave and ho enjoys himself. He's very stylish. You wouldn't believe he was kin to me in my gingham. Jefferson Norseman is the handsomest man hereabouts, and I am plain, and I know it. I take after poor ma in appearance." "Jefferson Norseman," repeated Mrs. Vanderpool to herself. Hut she kept In-r eyes fixed upon the saucer before her and governed tho corners of her mouth as only a society woman can. "I guess you think 1 am untilial and cantankerous," said Miss Norseman, al ter a moment's pause, "but you don't know pa. When lie is at home he is just the meanest and hatefulest why, no body dares come near the house to see me. I might have married when I was seventeen even if you are plain, youth is taking but he kicked my beau out. You see he wanted to keep mo here to keep shop while he kited about." A remembrance of the passing men tion of The sleeping partnership in a certain mercantile establishment here caused Mrs. Vanderpool'B lips to curve a little. Miss Norseman saw it. "I suppose it is funny to other folks," said she. "I almost have to laugh my self; and now ho is going to bo married." "Are you sure?" asked Mrs. Vander pool, smiling again. "Ho says it is settled," said Miss Norse man. "Ho got all ho could rake and bcrapo for new clothes last week, and sold the horse. She's a widow. Well, 1 don't wonder. Pa, with his company manners on, is taking. His private ways are different. When alio sees him with his false teeth out and no padding in his coat she'll be astonished, I rather think; and what names he can call a body if things don't suit him!" "Iteally, you ought to warn tho lady," said Mrs. Vanderpool, smiling outright this time. "Catch me," said Miss Norseman. "As 60on as they are settled I'm going to break up here and go and livo with 'em. Hecan't refuse his only daughter ,:i home, and 1 guess the mortgage will bo fore closed pretty soon. I'm going to have easo anil comfort after that, widow or no widow. I'm a match for pa's new wife. I've got a determined spirit of my own, and if she tries to triumph over ruo hair will lly. Pa will uphold me, for there are lots of things he'll be afraid of her finding out. and he'll want to keep mo quiet. You see. I'm in his power down here, but it will bo different then. Oh, wouldn't you like to beo pa's photo graph?" "Yes, I would," replied tho widow, fin ishing her cream. "And what do I owe you?" "Tweiity-fivo cents," said Miss Norse man. "Now, don't go until I bring tho album." Mrs. Vanderpool had no intention of doing so. She waited patiently for tho return of her hostess with a rickety pho tograph album full of the usual repre sentations of aunts and uncles, cousins and acquaintances, and in their midst a faco bho well knew. There was no pos sibility of a mistake. "Now, ain't my pa handsome?" said Miss Norseman, as sho spread tho book upon the table, open at this place, and showing u certain prido in tho exhibi tion. "Handsomu and stylish. Oh, doarl if he was a good as ho is prottj he'd lw a very nice fatlr to have, wouldn't he?" Yes," said Mrs. Vanderpool, a little sadly. It was a handsome face, and she had grown fond of It. "Yes. I'm verj glad I btopjHxl here. Miss Norseman. Your conversation bus interested me very much." Wo have had n real nice little visit, haven't we?" baid Jliss Norseman. "1 wish I'd been more fixed up; but I guess I'll bo more dressy whon I go to New York to live with pa and his second wife." "My dear Miss Norseman," said tin widow, "never calculato too much on anything in this world. It is ono of dis appointments." She smiled and walked away. A littl. furthor on she sighed. "Gooduoe knows it Is tome," she said petulantly. Uuton Thursday, when Mr. Norsernti called In hi new suit, armed with a f m grant bunch of hot house rosos, Mrs. Vi di-rpool wal simply not at home.

A Problem 'f Vint Importune How ltiiiriliti' ami Wild Cut t to rr".'i-cil tli I'liilte. itnil How ("nplilltj force Their Ietmctlmi An lltiiiiiplr. "I Imve seen several statements in tho newspapers, and have heard it mentioned with great appreheiisiun ly many eoplo in the east, that, owing to the overstocking of the cattle ranges in the west, tho pasturage has been destroyed to Mioh an extent that it is only a (pii-stnm of a short time hen stock raisin;; must lie greatly curtailed and a meat famine ensue," saiil John 11. Sullivan, a gen uine ranchman, anil a man of grout intelli gence ami keen observation. As Bronco John, his name on tlie plains, lie is well known throughout the country as a lecturer and writer on matters affecting tho interests of stock raisers anil their employes. "That the natural Kistiungo of tho great Kittle ranges lias leen greatly injured and reduced in area there can lie no doubt," con tinued Mr. Sullivan, "bat it is not duo to overstocking, but to an injudicious and ignorant system of feeding. Why, 1 can re member hen the plains oast of tho Itocky mountains, extending north through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, swarmed with buffalo, elk, deer and ante loH3, and enormous droves of wild horses and herds of wild cattle cocred tho great coun try south of tho Republican river. They have all Ih-oii driven away, and their feeding places given to the ranchman and his Mock, but the latter do not approach in iiiuiiIhts the original occuixmts of this country, who found food supply in great abundance for all their tremendous needs. More than that, one buffalo would eat, and required, more than tw ice as much grass for its support as does a common steer or cow. A buffalo's daily ration is on tho average !"0 pounds of grass; a steel's or cow's, 100 pounds. Tho elk and the antelope were also largo con sumers of grass, but tho deer was a moro delicate feeder. When these numberless buffaloes, ell;, antelope, deer, wild horses ami cattle roamed over tho bluffs and plains there was not only always a surplus of tho choicest wild grass for their sustenance, but it gl int in succulent luxuriance, reaching a height of from three to six feet. This won derful buffalo grass covered immense areas, and its nntri.ive hunches which givo it tho other mime of bunch grass reached a height of eight inches NATLMtl'.'S WISE l'HOVISIOXS. "What was the cause of this marvelous prevalence of luxuriant pasturage, although there were thousands upon thousands more mouths, and much more ravenous ones, to feed than there are now, w hilo tho same ranges now show scant, scattered and stunted growths of grass f The cause was nature. Nature's laws ruled and were olioyed through tho wonderful instinct, reason or whatever it might have been of the wild creatures that doionded on nature's bounty for their suste nance. Buffalo grass and wild prairio grass aro liko wheat and corn. They will not grow from their roots like cultivated grasses, but must rise from the seed. Nature planted a knowledge of this fact somewhere within tho wild anfiuaU that once fed on the ranges, and, if leeding on buffalo grass, which grows in bunches like onion tops, they ato only every other hunch as they grazed, nnd left ample patches of the prairio grass standing us they ate their way along over tho plains. This was for the seeding of the ranges for the succeeding crop, and nature never failed to reward this blind obedience to her laws. "The successors to thesoaboriginal grazers would, if left to themselves, render the same obedience, but the ignorance or shortsight edness of the cattle raisers has put their own behest above the law of natural selection, and tho cattle are forced to feed on a rango until every bunch and spear of grass aro gone. There is no need left to replenish the wasted area, and the herds aro moved on to despoil other territory. Then tho cry goes out trom the ranges that tho rush to raise cattle is oveistoeking tho country and de stroying the, pasturage! Tho fact is there aro not half as many cattle on tho ranges as the capacity of the grazing country can sus tain. There Is territory enough and nrea for grass enough to sustain millions nioro cattle than are being raised today. This cry of overstocking comes from the syndicate of great cattle kings. Tho policy of those mill ionaire stock raisers end grabbers of untold thousands of acres of tho country's area is to discourage the sinidl growers and keep them out of tho region, or acquire possession of their ranches. THE HHASO.V WHY. "If homi-steudors nnd small, independent ranchmen aro wio they will not bo discour aged by tho monopoly cry of overstocking. Thoy can easily keep their ranges seeded and always ample in pasturage by simple means, prompted by good judgment. Buffalo Hill has a range south of tho North I'latto river, uud a largo portion of it along tho river is always in unusually flue grass, although it is pastured as much as the rest of tho range. Tho reason of this is that opposite that part of the range there is an island in tho river on which wild grass gams and is never dis turliod, more Ix-causo of its isolation, how ever, than of u desire to foster it, or tho ben efit derived from it. This grass goes to seed, and tho w ind carries tho seed to the pasture along tho river, anil keeps it constantly seeded down mid always in good crop. Now if Mr. Cody would simply tut off a small strip, say not mom than forty feet wide, of his range along tho river by fencing it away from hiu cattle, tho winter winds and snows would carry the seeds from it all over his raugo and keep it always in good crop. Tho sauio can Utdouo with ease and little excnso by every hoinosteador and ranchman. A very small jtortiou of each range reserved In that way will seed effectually all tho rest of tho pasture. "What is true in theso cases is also truo of tho great cattle king ranges. It is a well known fact that cuttle and horses, when they can feed on bunch grass, survive tho assaults of tho severest winters to a remarkable or contago beyond uitick fed on corn and 'tamo' buy, no matter how plenty tho firtd may bo, and it wouliwsjin thut not only considera tions of economy, hut of mercy, would prompt the preservation of this incomparable Iaturugo. "Uy all of this I mean that pasturage is re duced, beyond doubt, on tho cattle ranges, but thut it is not due to over stocking, for the same ranges have fed ten times as many animals, tear in and jear out, for nobody kiiotvg how many centuries. Greedy iiioiio;m lists in tho cattle bumis uud their inju dicious Maturing are t Ik-rank" of the spread ing grass fuiluru.
