Goinif up Bader canyon, from Eight
Mile, the gulch shallows till it becomes
a mare sag in the fast developing farm-
iug section of Ground Owl fl it, whioh
on the sveuttul day of June whioh fur
nishes the starting date of this romance
is parobing iu the summer sun. The at
mosphere is breathless, but glimmers
with a waving heat aloug the barbed
wire fenoing. Here and there about the
plain, cheokerod with summer-fallow,
sere buuchgrnss and yellowing grain, are
ths bouses of the settlement. A barnisb
looking structere with windows along
the sides and a mid-entrance at the ga
ble end is the dee-striot school house.
Away up under Rood Hill, at the head of
Badger, is Old Man Jinkins' place. Old
Man Jiukins is a heavy citizen of this
oommuuity, owing to the faot that his
life is devoted to the sohool meetings,
Sunday schools, revivals, praise meet
ings, elections, funerals, marriages and
all the doings of the place except the
dances and other worldly gatherings,
which a deaconship in some ultra-good
religious sooiety keeps him from attend
iug; the further fact that he had been a
man of pr. ininence back somewhere iu
Missouri, where, for lack of better tim
ber, ho had been elected path-master,
and the cro vuiug fact that he was beau
tiful Masuetta Jinkins' paw.
And Mashella was beautiful as she
leaned against the pig-stye, after pouring
a bucket of swill into tho hog-trough;
so beautiful as to form a worthy subject
for a master's brush (ouestuut admitted).
Her figure bad a tolerably well-fed
plumpness, her eyes were of an intense
n.ivv-blue, end made entrancing by
bubit of using them iu a way to set men
raving wild. Her hair was er ori
tlamme that glorious oolor of the dying
sun refulgiug from a blossomiug oowse
tlat, while her charming petite nose
wore n niuuantly elevuted touruoure, as
though she continually smelt a dead
honn. Her dress was extremely uegli
gc, her eboelets being untied and one of
her stockings, guiltless of garter bond
age, draped over itsolf way down below
the border of her flour-sack pantalettes
which were brought out in bold relief
because her foot was resting on the
swill-spout. Her Mother Hubbard cali
co gown, with a long rip on its right
side was oinohed to her with one of her
brother Bill's Buapondors; her bangi
were rolled in papers, Bnd orowning all
was her paw's old felt hat.
Idly she watched the old sow grunt-
ingly gulp ber mess, and then, slowly
raising her eyes, gazed dreamily into the
distance. Mary times hail she gazed
out on the treeless plain and watched
the coming and toiug of tho nia-jy vrng
ons in the distant roadwny, but no-.v,
though her eyes seemed riveted to the
country below, her lhoughl.sfolirwed not
their gaze. Deeply she pondore.i of the
myrow, when (locked in nil hor glory
she was to appear before the rfuperiu
tendout to bo examined as to her quali
fications ns a school-marm. While wan
dering further and further into the mazes
of air-cxatled avenues, a dnst-cloud,
which seomed to trail itself aoross the
plain towards the Jinkins ranch, rose
from the head of Badger. When but a
short distanoo away Mash recognized a
horsumau on the lope, and, by the way
he ierkod bis steed about and otherwise
showed himself off, that be was comiug
to see her.
Maeh fairly flew to tho house, scatler-
iug a bi'nod of chickens, stepping oti Lhe
g's tail and knocking her buoy broth
er over, anil, wuae tne plane wan reson
ant with cackle, scream and ki-yi, Broth
er Bill's overalls and old bouts were
fired under the hud, a dust heap was rap
idly swept out, the shoes, stookiugs,
Mother Hubbard, suspeudor and Paw s
old hat were bandied together and fol
lowed Bill's garments, and ere Jim Noo
dle reached the il or Mash had blossom
ed out into a fresh dressed daisy. When
ho entered she was reading the Gazette
iu seeming ignorance of his approach.
How-de-do, Mashf said Jim Noodlo,
as he leered lovingly at the girl.
"Why, Mr. Noodle I I wasn't looking
for anyone hore to-day. Paw and Maw's
gone to sohool meeting and Bill's help
ing Simmons weed bis timber culture.
But jes' wait awhile; they'll be here
afore long. Want to soe Bill, don't you?
There' going to bo a dance a-Friday
over at Btcppins', but I hnven't thought
about going. Guess evoybody will be
there, though. Stepping is getting it
up. Himmons said that Repass was go
to fidillo; but I'd much sooner that
Charley Iugrabam should that is if I
thought about going I kind of thought
I would like to go, and then I thought I
wouldn't after all. Wes. Brannan told
the Hiramonscs that the Wilkius girls
and a lot of folks were coming down
from Dog Town, nnd Frank Jiukins,
you jes' let that pup alone, now; quit
that racket and go draw a bucket of
aterl"
"Guess it's going to be a pretty good
dance," said Mr. Noodle, "you'd hotter
go, Mashy. I'll come after you if you'll
go with me."
"A-l -1 r-i- f h t," said Mashy hes
itatingly.
And Jim Noodle drew his rnwhido-
bottoined chair doner to the fair girl,
and as be did so she beamed npon him one
of those drawing glanoes, the witchery of
which impelled the rawhide chair within
easy reach of the girl. Mashelta heaved
a Ion drawn sigh, while a heartrending
elond of sadness overspreud her oounte
nance.
For a moment Jim Noodle looked at
ths ejirl with qniverinfl ardor, and then
he reached for her and clasping her to
to him he tittered: "Oh, Masbyl What's
the matter? Have you a pain In yonr
sinmmickf"
'o; not that," she said.
"What, 0! what is the lnattorr fal
tered Noodle.
ni 1 ,ln't know. Nobody seems to
oare fur me." aaid the girl.
"You bet I do, Mashy; just lots," said
Mr. Noodle; And before the quarter-
hour had meandered off forever adowu
the paths L time, Mnshetta had Jim
Noodle hotjiKed and landed.
CHAPTER II. I
As Masbetta showed up before the su
perintendent she felt a strong internal
motive power to back out; so much so
that she forgot all about rolling the fo-
ous of her killing orbs on him thereby
missing the first and best point of her
examination. But the superintendent
was a very amiable man and set the fair
girl quite at ease.
''I suppose you are aware, Miss Jinkins
that George Washington was born iu
Virginia, aud immediately preceded
John Adams iu the presidential chair,
whioh he held down for two terms, there
by gaining, in connection with his mili
tary services, the title of 'Father of his
country.' "
"Yes," said Masbetta.
' It has undoubtedly ooourred to you,
Miss Jinkins, that Berlin is the capital
of the German Empire, a confederation
of kingdoms, duohies aud other states
consolidated at the close of the Franco-
Prussian war, in 1871, when William,
King of Prussia, was declared Emperor.
"Why, certaiuly," said Masbetta.
"You perhaps know that the base of a
triangle lies on the ground, the upright
towers to Heaven, the bypoteuuse has
its lower extremity nt the limit of the
base while its other end leans against
the summit of the upright."
"I do," ejaculated Mash.
And thusly was sweet Mnshetta led on
to tho necessary knowledge for the
proper tilling of the blank that enabled
her to obtain a sixth-class certificate
the requisite qualification to tench the
Ground Owl school during the term that
oommenoed two days ufterward, on the
very date of the dance at Stepping'.
CHAPTER III.
Now Mash did not engage herself to
Jim Noodle positively. When he was
bringing pressure to bear ou her in more
than one respeot(rats acknowledged) she
nestled just as close ns she oonld to him,
and said she "didn't know," she "might
perhaps" and "guessed she would," aud
yet withal got Jim Noodle thoroughly
promised and Bworn on his part, leaving
a big impression on his little mind that
he was the solely one solitary huckleber
ry-
And quite temporarily so, he was, for
she bnd thrown off on Jack Blodjet, who
had ruu her all the previous Fall,
soon as cases aompellod bun to go to
sheep-herding. And when Tim Smith,
who booked on next, oommonoed ahoriug
for his board at the Stopping' she let
him go too, so that the wny wus olearfi
Noodle.
They both dressed gaudily for their
first public appearance as a mashed pair-
Noodlo parted his hair just above the
left ear and plastered n shining bang
aoross his forehead that terminated in a
hookey wavelet above bis right cyo. An
inob above this md woll onreeued to his
port eyebrow, with brim carefully tumi d
down in front, was solidly but studious
ly placed a doe-colorod felt hnt, ylori-
fied by a seal-brown satin band. Hi
sported a biled shirt aud a red silk hand
kerchief with ends tied behind and lapp
ed adown his Bhirt-frout. Aoross his
broad-braided black diagonal vest was
strotched a gold sindine cablo chain
traded out of Wos. Branuau for a pair of
spurs aud a jack-knife to boot. Hif
pants were checked with howling loud
ness aud his boot-hoels wore towering.
Mashy was banged from crown to eyes
and bad her hack hair wound up iu a
pau-oake braided coil with blue ribbon
duugling from the center. Her dress
was white mooseleene all shirred, draped
and tabliered with blue tarltan, and she
looked juHt sweet enough to eat.
The loving oouple arrived at Stepping'
tolerably early and the 1 oe-down had
not oommenoed. The women folks were
quzzing and te-heeing aud the funereal
silence of the men was only eventually
broken by a rather forced laugh, caused
by u oouple of young hoods trying to
kuook each others hats olT.
Holding dowu a chair on the women's
side of lhe room was a brand new mar
ried young man and his wife was sitting
ou bis lap. They were having a lovely
time chewing gum together. He would
roll up the gum quid and put it in her
mouth und "she" would chew it awhile,
aud then "she" would pluoe it in his
mouth, nnd while the chewing was go
ing on they played with euch others
fingers.
Ah if by electricity it occurred to
Noodle that the very acme of the con
centrated estieuce of Heaven's bliss
oouldu't par with the rupture it would
be to perform that way with Mashy.
The fiddlers took half an hour or more
to help each other tune up, a big Yam
biller with a bull voioe culled off the
numbers for the first set, the fiddles
turned loose and the shindig blossomed.
Now, in order to lubor this romance
through to a finale it is neoemmry to di
gress aud oall the reader's attention to
events that transpired about a week pre
vio us to the time in question (Fielding).
CHAPTER IV.
Bud Boggs was a great big fellow
with a powerful mustache who had step
by step risen from the bottom round,
higher and still upwurd till he had at
tained the position of oamp.tendt-r to the
(.entry of New tun Runch. He was lavish
in the mHunilioeuoe of his regalia. No
man wore a broader leather-edged som
brero or oinohed one to bis brow with h
In under leather band. His talis were
im enBe, aaildlu-i ki u l ow g 1 jgoderoe
huge and cautiuas bright irum the sad
dler 1 straddled his l g,'eil,ead. tie
moroover hud a braided leather watch
chain, leather outfit, leather collar, leatli
er shirl-frout, aud many other articles
of the trade too uumorous to inventory
iu detail, euflioe to say that Harrington
Jk Co. ooulun't rig out a dandier barneys-
shoo dummy for a ranging ad. At his
cartridge-belt dazzled a maguilicenl
ulniusuiau's revolver und upon his atom
oouiiteuauce he wore the fiontier scowl.
Oue day Boggs rode up to the Jinknin
ranch and asked Mash for a driuk, and
a it was given bun, the maguutio spleu
dor of her eves were oast full upon aud
deeu into him and he rode out to the
Ground Owl dance merely to see her
again.
Noodle showed a strong disposition ti
corner up Mushettu between danoea, but
our lieroiuo-wasn't there for any such
purpose, ind when the floor-manager
asked her It she wanted a knock-down
to Air. lWgs, she said "Ves, sir:" but
with all ttiju one nnd proper hesitancy '
to suit lbs exigeuoy and satisfy Noodle.
Boggs fe 1 iter tall'v. naked oanrlv
hearts at her aad monopolized her dur
ing Uie evemnj,' to such an CAten that,
thenceforward. Air. Noodle, iu n pet, de
voted his entire attention to Judy Wil
iias, the fonileeu-year-old belle of Raw
Dog.
Iu order to entirely crush Mnahotta.
Noodle induced swe.-t Judy to go to
supper u,i him, leaving the fellow who
mat taken iter tut vo to chew a lonely
Oait at the tiiir l table. ,
James Nuodit's ioalousv did not kill
Masbetta. When Mr. B iggs got her
woll seated at tne table she didn't onlv
jusi laugnuliy look i.t the grub, but fat
uuiiuo to founder am body that hadu't
the digestion of au ostrich. And she
laughed aud chaffed and tired a biscuit
at Chris Hoiuiiiger's mouth and was
otherwise euohantiugly sparkling. And
ever and anon si e tu:n -d hor eyes on
Boggs and paralyzed him.
lluggs was no slouch. He did ut take
in a dance unless be had a plenteous
supply of all the requisites and arpnrte-
nanc-es thereunto beiongiug, or m any.
wise appertaiuiii'' ( fohti Doe). He had
aduekoi whisky stowed iu his inside
coat-poelcet, and a bottle cached out in
tho etrawstiicis, while his aide-jiockets
were tilled with eaudy hearts and ciga
rettes. Aud ho moreover had doodles of
social savy. He could double-shuffle off
a balance all, cail a quadrille just to
time with a whoou-'jr u ) viai till inter
spersed with verses sung to the music,
aud could grab up a bddie ifffd saw olr
"Dog Eat a Rye Srraw" with nitch a rich, -pure
Arkausaw twang, that the smallest
girl ou tho lloor would put her whole
soul iuto coining dowu on the planks
with a plantation thud. All this made
Boggs the hou of the occasion. He cig
iiretted all the kid.s, candy-hearted all
the girls, aud with cunsum'ate diplomacy
made Judy Wilkius' feller staving drmik,
aud induced him to punch Jim Ncodlrf
in tho snoot, whereupon Mr. Boggs
maintained order and covered himself
with glory by booting them both out of
the room. Mash thought him an adorn- -bid
creature, and all the girltt hated her
for the magnitici'ii.-ie of hor oonquest.
Knowing that Jim Noodle would leave
her to make it. home as best she cottld,
when the dance broke up at daylight, a
few hours before da mi Mash asked
lioggs to see her homo.
They Btrack out afoot across tho
bunchgritHS, arm iu arm. Before, they
nnd gone tar, Boggs pressed Mnshetta'
arm close to hia side, whereupon she
leaned hard and suggestively upon him
and his arm stole around her, and, ns
she didn't kirk about it, lie squeez-nl her
hard und manfully while Mashy pillow
ed her head upon hia quivering breast
aad they halted still and and" motionless.
They Htoid enraptured, he widi the 80ft
porlumo she ha.l purchased in Heppner,
and she with the good spirits he had
bought at tho Belvedere. As Boggs
brushed his rugged- count. nance with
a purring tom-ent motion across her
soft cheek, she sleathdy took the-tlask
from his pocket, playfully uncorked it
with her tooth and pressed it to his lips,
he drank from it and directed its muzzle
iuto her rose-bud mouth. She pulled
long and steadily at it lA'ar girl, she
had bceu there before. It was a su
preme moment. Forgotten was Jim
Noodle, forgotten was everything but
Love and Whisky.

hiH word must be the incentives to this
nut, after which wo are entitled to special
help to do good, that always being the
great eud in view. These helps yon will
find spoken of iu 1st Cor., 12, Ep., 4.
But now we inquire, What is to be the
fate of those who do not go thus far in
the line of duly ? Those (of whom there
are many) who do much good, but fail
to keep the commandments, who profess
no faith in Christ. Consider tho charac
ter of your neighbors. Here, for in
stance, is a man puro and upright in all
his dealings. His ear has never beeu
closed to the cry of tho poor and needy,
and in all his relations in life ho has
lived according to tho goldou rule, aud
yet has failed in the one important point
of acknowledging his obligations to his
Heavenly Father. Ho has caused the
widow's heart to leap, and the orphan's
tears to cease. To injustice and vice be

the friend of down-lroddeu virtue. He

Oh, Father! Shed into human hearts

Is it Heterodoxy to claim that those
