"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.

"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. A little good judgment on
the I wirt of stock raiwr., uml the marking off
of au Imigndlcunt jrUua of their ranges
from puturtij(, will souu roplunuh the bar
