A BUSINES GIRL.
, The epidemic of prosperity which
but visited that portion of the Lone
Star State favored by the protection
of the Nugget Improvement com-
my bad in a measure abated. The
recoding wave which had floated hun-
dredsof delighted voyagers to havens
of rest and richness had temporarily
stranded upon a shore of idleness two
clerks of the said company. Whirl-
ing around in his chair, McCarthy
opened adrawer of his own typewrit-
er cabinet and took out a letter and
re.
0811er looked at him through the
rings of smoke he was lazily pufiing
and sighed.
“Hang it! Don t you even tire of
that business?"
“You bet I don’t 2" McCarthy spoke
apparent truth. Given a half hour
of leisure we typewritist was certain
to produce the same velvet framed
photograph and the last underscored
epistle of the photograph s original.
“Ah— hl don’t I wish that I could see
her?“
He held the picture at arm‘ 11 length
and surveyed it through half closed
eyes.
Carlyle's mustache began to turn
up at the corners, but his friend’s in-
fatuation was so sincere that he rare-
ly let his sarcasm go to the length of
words.
“Sfiaking of girls they‘reaqneer
McCarthy was deep in the letter.
He vouchsafed an assenting guttural
“Ugh l" and read on to the end.
“I’ll say it twice. Speaking of girls,
I hate your mannish, strong minded
sort. Do you know the kind I’ll fall
in love with?"
“No. Nor y‘ou.
“I do. She must be poor-awfully
poor. She must be deueedly pretty,
too—and babyish. Blue eyes, yellow
curls, pink cheeks, timidity, cling-
ness, hero worship; for me, her hero
——-and all that lot. She must know
nothing more of books than their
covers, and she must exist but for--
aud in—me."
“Bosh! You'll marry a rich girl.
dark, independent, learned. She‘ll
boss you from the start.“
“Never 3"
“Sure. I‘ve observed that one al-
ways marries the opposite of his
ideal. I shall. I said I'd never love
a girl who was fat and had red hair.
But Kitty here is as round as a squash,
and her hair is auburn.“
The silence which prevailed while
the “confidential clerk“ of the N. I
C. gathered his anatomical fragments
together was ominous. It was broken
unexpectedly. A cough and a smoth
cred laugh. both feminine, fell on the
hush with startling distinctnm-xs.
“Thunder, there' 11 somebody in tho
ofllcel" gasped ( 'arlylc. rising.
Glow cring at tho ty pcwritist and
reserving that assistant s punishment
for a more convenient season, he be-
came at once the bland, dignified gen-
tleman whom the N. I. (.3. had hon-
ored with their trust.
There was somebody in the office,
a very tangible somebody—trim of
figure, dark of eye, alert and self re-
liant. Her face was grave and quite
as dignified as Carlyle's own, but the
shadow of a smile still lingered around
the deep corners of the prettiest
mouth in thc world.
“I want to examine three of the
ranches tbc Nugget company have
for sale. " She opened amap that she
drew from the natty little satchel at
her side and spread it on the table be-
tween thcm, "This, and this, 11nd
this." she said, indicating each by her
dainty forefinger. “Ono of these
three will, I think, suit. I wish to
‘ visit them immodiatcly." There was
not 11 wastml \l‘ul‘ll. movcmcut. nor in-
stant of timc.
Carlyle felt himself as sharply
aroused from his afternoon‘s drowoi-
noes 1111 if he had suddcnly stepped
into Wall strcct just bcforc closing
hour.
"Well, yes; we IlaVctlimu ranches

tomormw, but it is now rather late
in the day to start. Any hour you

"I‘ 111 going now, "answered the vic-
tim and followed the customer outto
the bucklmard.
Before he had reached its seat the
horses were off. and he was ungra-
ciously jerked into the empty seat'
beside her.
The team sped along at a pace
which promised to verify their own-
er’s word as --.- their capabilities, and
for the first distance no one’epoke.
As they turned out of El Dorado to
the open, the girl called tothe driver:
“Not that way. North first, to
Sunset Ranch, then the Beausite.
Though I expect the Luckalong will
suit me, I’ll look at the others too."
“How have you learned so much
of the route?" and “Reckon you’ve
ben here aforc, hain’t you, ma’am?”
asked Carlyle and the driver simul-
taneously.
“By study? No!" she answared
them both in one curt sentence.
1 “Used tor directin an knowin what
you’re 'bont. I swan."
"Yes."
“It's auburming country." volun-
teered Carlyle, dctennincd ‘tu make
her more voluble.
“That is why I came—«01111. reason,"
she corrected herself truthfully.
"‘Reckon you‘ve lived in some right
smart of a town by yer looks."
At first she did not reply, but she
was evidently more friendly to the
man in blue jeans than to his brothcr
in chci lot.
"No it was not a 1111 gc town I've
just graduated from —-——— Woman's
college.“
“I shall be delighted to give you
any information you desire, although
you seem nearly as conversant with
our property as I am.”
There was a. delicate ring of sar-
casm under the suuvity of the man-
ager, which a' dull cur might have
mistaken for flattery.
Jane Brown's caiswere not dull

blind. With a little sidcwise motion
of her compact body she managed to
remove herself a bit farther from
her fellow traveler and to look him

I regret that I w as obliged to ask
your company Mr. Carlyle. Idid it
partly to satisfy my 11111111111. but
mostly for forms sake."
“So I perceive," assented that un-
fortunate grimly.

“No. I have seen all that I wish.
