tional outline of a liltln-r tiow level,
the only tlrvnn.y anirontlon of tb?
whole l.mrixr-une. The fnrrgmund was
a glaringly fresh and unplcturesque
ndnliiK town, whose lrrcffulnr attempts
at repulnrlty were aet forth with aU the
cruel uncompromising clpornesa of the
California atmosphere. There was the
straight Main street, with Its new brick
block of "stores." ending abruptly
agninst a tangled bluff; there was the
ruthless clearing In the sedate pines
where the hideous spire of the new
church Imitated the soaring of the sol
emn shafts It bad dlnplaced with al
niost Irreligious mockery. Yet this fore
ground was CUsy's world her life, ber
sole girlish experience. She did not,
however, bather her pretty bead with
the view Just then, but moved her
cheek up and down before the glass
the better to examine by the merciless
Klnre of the sunlight a few freckles
that starred the hollows of ber tem
ples. Like others of her sex, she was a
poor critic of what was ber real beauty
and quarreled with that peculiar tex
ture of ber healthy skin wblcb made
ber face ns cloquMit In ber sun kissed
cheek ss In her bright eyes and expres
sion. Nevertheless she was somewhat
consoled by the ravishing effect of the
bowknot she had Just tied and turned
away not wholly dissatisfied. Indeed
as the acknowledged belle of Canada
City and the daughter of Its principal
banker small wonder That' a certain
frank vanity and childlike Imperious
ncss were among ber faults and her at
tractions. She bounded down the stairs and Into
the front parlor, for their bouse pos
sessed the unheard of luxury of a dou
ble drawing room, albeit the second
apartment contained a desk and was
occasionally used by Cissy's father In
private business Interviews with anx
ious seekers of "advances" who shun
ned the publicity of the bank. Here
she Instantly flew Into the arms of ber
bosom friend, Miss Plney Tlbbs, a girl
only a shade or two less pretty than
herself, who, always more or less 111 at
ease In these splendors, was awaiting
her Impatiently. For Miss Tlbbs was
merely the dnttghter of the hotel keep
er, aud. although Tlbbs was a south
erner and had owned "bis own nig
gers" In tbe states, she was of Inferior
position and a protegee of Cissy's.
"Thank goodness you've come," ex
claimed Miss Tlbbs, "for I've bin slttln
here till I nigh took root What ker
yer
"How does it look?" responded CI say
as a relevant reply.
The "It" referred to Cissy's new bat,
and to the young girl the coherence
was perfectly plain. Miss Tibbs looked
at "It" severely. It would not do for a
protegee to be too complaisant.
'Hem! Must have cost a heap &
money."
"It did." said Cissy. "Came from tbe
best milliner In 8nn Francisco."
"Of course," snld Plney. with half
assumed envy, "when your popper runs
the bank and Just wallows In goldT
"Never mind, dear," said Cissy cheer
fully. "So'll your popper some day.
I'm going to get mine to let your popper
Into something ditch stocks and such.
Test True. O king! Popper'll do any
thing for me." sbe added a little loftily
Loyal as Plney was to ber friend,
sbe was by no means convinced of
this. She knew tbe difference between
the two men and had a vivid recollec
tion of bearing ber own father express
his opinion of Cissy's respected parent
as a "gold sbnrk" and "quarts miner
crusher." It did not, however, affect
her friendship for Cissy. Sbe only said.
Let's cornel" caught Cissy aronnd the
waist, pranced with ber out Into tbe
veranda and gasped, out of breath,
"Where are we going first V
"Down Main street," said Cissy
promptly.
"And let ns stop at Markbam's store.
They've got some new thing In from
Sacramento," sold Plney.
"Country styles," returned Cissy,
with a supercilious air. "No. Beside
Mark ham's head clerk I getting toe
presumptuous. Just guess! lie asked
me. T.hile I was buying something.
If I enjoyed the dance last Monday."
"But you danced with him," aald the
Simple fluey In astonishment.
"But not in his store among hi cus
tomers." said Cissy sapleotly. "No.
We're goli g down Main street past
Beeamp s. '1 hose Secsnip girts are sure
to be at their wludows looking out
This bat will Just torn 'em green
greener than ever."
"Toti're Just horrid. CIssT aald Ft
aey. with admiration. j
"And then." continued Cissy, "we'll
just sail down past the new block to
the pardon's and mske a call."
-Oh. I see." an hi Plney archly. "It'll
lie Just about tbe time when tbe new
engineer of the mill work baa a clean
Shirt on and Is smoking his rtgae be
fore tbe office."
Cissy tnased her bat disdainfully.
"Much anybody cares whether he's
there r not. I haven't forgottea how
be shewed ns over tbe mill the other
day In s p: !r of f.rrslls Just like a
workman."

Plney did not reply. The engineer
had seemed to ber to be a singularly
attractive young man, yet she wa
equally Impressed with Cissy's superior
condition which could And flaw la

down the steps of the veranda, they
passed Into the staring graveled walk
of tbe new garden, only recently recov

They stood there all unconsciously
reverencing tbelr absent mother, sis
ters and daughter In their sponta
neous homage to tbe pair and seemed
to feel tbe wholesome breath of tbelr
eastern home wafted from the freshly
Ironed skirt of these foolish virgin a
they rustled by. I am afraid that
neither Cissy nor Plney appreciated
thla feeling few women did at that i
time Indeed these young ladle assum
ed a slight air of hauteur. "Really,
they do stare o," said Cissy, with
eye dilating with pleasurable emo
tion. "We'll have to take the back
street next time." Plney, proud In tbe
glory reflected from Cissy and In her
wn, answered, "w will sure.
There wa only one lutermptloo to
thl triumphal progress, and that was
ao alight aa to be only noticed by one
of tbe two girl. A they passed the
new works at the mill the new
glneer. as I'luey bad foreseen, was
leaning against tbe doorpost smoking
a pipe. He took bis bat from his head
and his pipe from bis mouth aa they
approached, greeted them with an easy
"tiood afternoon," yet with a glance
that waa quietly observant and toler
antly critical. "There," aald Claay
when they had passed, "dldnt I tell
you? Did you ever see such coo celt
In your born days! I hope yea did
not look at him."
Piney, conscious of having don ao
and of having blushed under bla cru
tiny, nevertheless stoutly asserted that
abe bad merely looked at him "to aee
who It was." But Cissy waa placated
by passing tbe Secant pa' cottage, from
whose window tbe three strapping
daughters of John Secamp. lately an
emigrant from Missouri, were, aa Cissy
had surmised, lightening the household
duties by gazing at the, to them, un
wonted wonder of the street Wheth
er tbelr complexions, still bearing
traces of tbe alkali dust and Inefficient
nourishment of tbe plains, took a more
yellow ton from tbe spectacle of Cla

they did. Perhaps Plney was nearer
the truth when sbe suggested that they
were only "looking" to enable them to
make a homemade copy of the hat

Tbelr progress forward and through
tbe outskirts of the town was of the

Queen Annette I. held herself in
