A CHEYENNE ROMANCE.
A young woman, who ia described as "one of the loveliest and 'moet accomplished daughters of Cheyenne," while riding through the streets of thab
lively city a few months ago, vas thrown violently from her horse. A Spanish l»d sprang irom the lamp-post ogainst which he had heen leaning, and endeavored te prevent the accident, but the only assistance that he could render was to lift the lady from the ground and bear her into a neighboring heuse. Then, sighing for further sight: of the fair one, the youth resumed his duty at the lamp-poet. As for thei young woman, ehe sustained an annoying irijury. It was nothing less than the fracture of one ot her front' teeth. The delicate pearl lhat flashed through "lips within whose rosy: labyrinth when she smiled the soul was< lost," was hopelessly crushed. Beauty in distress appealed to art ; tbe young woman went to the dentist, who pro-- , raised to search high and low for a pearl of the proper s'ze and brilliancy. The search was made faitbiully, bufc not until the dentist saw a yiung Spaniard leaning against a lamp-post did he find the coveted prize. The youtb gladly sold one of his teeth for lOOdols., offering all his stock in trade afc the same terms. The tooth was submitted to proper treatment and the young; horsewoman appeared at a ball the ; following evening apparently none the; worse for the accident. But. with ai woman's curiosity, she would havej given her head to know whence camei I tbe tooth. Time passed. The Spaniardmade a fortunate purchase of stock: with his 100 dols., and not only began j to patronise tbe tailor, but indulged in a bank account. One evening last 1 week chance threw him into a selectparty, where the fair rider happened to i be present, and be related his dental] adventure. When he smiled and. pointed to the vacant place in his mouth the young lady gave a little j shriek. Her secret wae discovered,: and now the Cheyenne and Denver! papers announce that tbe Spaniard will; get his tooth back afc the altar on the! 25th of this month.
