When our foreman went away to the Northwest territory to find a cat tle range unspoiled by settlers,Robert was put in charge of the ranch. This was equivalent to a promotion - of Biddy also, for the Missourian, whoso bony frame had been built from the limestone waters of his native state, was still the partisan and protector of the sappy youngster from northern Vermont. ‘ ‘ You are a Canadian pony and I am a Hambletonian, ” said Robert; “ but if w,e like to trot together, I guess the other bosses on this range will have, to take our dust. ” . The friendship between these two men was founded on complemontairy qualities,-'and oliiy 7 a ' -woman' bouid break it The woman in.this instance was Miss Bell, the schoolteacher at the Bond. -Tho-bnrnod child dreads- the -- firo, but a .bq-d will return, aiid again dash into theiflames. Robert ’ s encounter with the fair fence-cutter was. like flame to the bird. He sought an in troduction and forthwith- became a suitor for her baud, Biddy, the only one in camp who took-it upon himself to ' oritibisOhjThdfc ’ of Robbrt ’ a,' Ye- monstrated with him, “ You arc a bird,, aren ’ t you? ” said he; “ the girl mesmerized you once, she ’ ll bamboozle you for twice, and bounce you for three times. What do you mean to do? ” “ I mean to marry her if she will have iao , ” replied Robert, ' simply. “ Yes, I know I told you plenty times that a-cowboy had ni) business to marry, and that ’ s right, but. Tin on exception. I don ’ t know how and I don ’ t know why, but I know I ’ in hit hard. I got to haVe her. ” . So Robert, big^Luilklng,forty years old, was in love for the first time in- his whole life. If force and earnest ness avail, ho should win. Less forceful, loss earnest,' half as old, Biddy was in the same plight. His adVice to Robert to let the girl alone was in good faith ; he thought.iL the best thing — for Robert — but ho had a bad case of “ physician heal thy self ” upon his hands, He, too, was rbpolved to win and marry \Miss Bell. He did not say so to Robert, so hard is it for moat men to be open in a love affair, and . for a time Robert knew nothing of it. Everyone else saw it, and Scotty told Biddy he had better stand.from under. “ If you look horns with Robert, ” said ho, “ he ’ ll got you down and walk all over your frame, ” And Scotty added some reflections on the law of supply and demand. “ If .there were twenty achoolma ’ ams round hero you would not look at one of them, but because there is only one, . you are fixing.to get your skin so plumb full of bullet holes that thii wind ’ won ’ t whistle as it.blows through, ” Biddy laughed and wept his way La call upon Miss Bell and urge his suit. And Robert wont his way,which wan. the same way, upon the same errand. I do not know whether Miss Bell gave to either man any encourage ment, but as the dead-shot is said to add a notch to the marks on : his. pistol-grip for each man he drops, so it is supposablo that about this time this young lady increased her list of rejected suitors by the names of these two cowboys. It was done in her kindest manner, this rejection, and she hud said to each:. “ I am sorry this has occurred, but since you have so honored me,you must come to my wedding. I am to bo married next month in tin? church at Hummoud. I shall really feel it if you do not come, ” - » And each man had promised to be there. ' ' <•\\ It had come to Robortyuqt.iee be fore this time that Biddy wa ’ s his rival, but with the hope arid intention of success strong within him, he had been affeotod differently from Scotty ’ s forecast.: Ho went straight to Biddy and told him to “ go in and win if you can. I don ’ t want the girl unless I can. got her fair and hold her against all/comers^ ” But when both had/ been refused, each man thought the other was accepted, and each waited for the other tq broach the subject, It was a difficult time. There wore dark looks, but no explosion. They- avoided oaoh other, and this little cloud, . no bigger than a woman ’ s hand,seemed about to cover the whole sky. Biddy, asked for leave of ab sence and got it. They did not moot again:until the wedding day. - — - That day found Biddy still storm-' ing at fate; but Robert, who had a simpler and stronger nature, hud . put his own disappointment behind him and was looking forward with pride if not pleasure to his friend ’ s happiness. What follows is in Robert ’ s words: “ I got there early and took ' a seat jp^hp,/baok.part^of 4^ wanted to bo whore I could got out if my nerve failed me. Many people, came in, and at last the bride, looking very beautiful, came out from a side door with three men and stood up in front. And I was proud for Biddy that he was going to have such a fine wife. But I couldn ’ t see him any where. And the preacher s aid .an y man having an impediment . was to step forward. - “ -i'Then I looked for - Biddy, but hh didn't come. I hail never before been at a wedding in church, and I thought maybe it was the way to keep him corraled in the little room until the last moment, for fear ho 'would go back onto the old-rouge.
