The Enchantment of Andy.
There was a great stir in Grant county society when Sam Crampton's wife's sister came out from Missouri to spend the winter. There are not very many young women in Grant county, and every new arrival is enthusiastically welcomed—and no questions asked. "Miss Murphy is her name," Mrs. Crampton had said when announcing her sister's coming to the editor of the Grant County Republican "Miss Sally Murphy, S-a-double l-y-e-. She is coming out here for her health. I do hope Mr. Roberts you'll come, out to see her. Sally has always been attention so much by the gentlemen."
For one who had come to Grant County for her health, Miss Murphy was an astonishing buxom young woman. She had a very large plump figure and a full round face, so full and round that when you stood behind her you could see her ruddy cheeks sticking out even with her ears on either side of her head; She had a great deal of straight black hair which she arranged in a manner so astonishing original that the native Grant county girl despaired of copying it. Luella Simpson said "Looks 'sif she hadn't run a comb through it in a week," and then "parted off" enough hair to add three more tinself to her already amazing blay. Miss Murphy had small, snapping black eyes and yellow teeth. She had very large red hands, with sallow spots on the palms, and knuckles so developed that one might have thought Miss Murphy's life had not always been one of leisure. Had not Mrs Crampton assured everyone that "Sally had always been such a baby. She was awfly spoiled. Maw never let her turn over her hand, I don't 'spose that girl ever cooked a meal of victuals in her life. She's always been such a society girl." Miss Murphy had a very vivacious manmanner, and a laugh that ran vigorously up the scale and ended with a prolonged jangle where the final do should have been "Ain't that a cute laugh of hers." Mrs. Crampton would say, "Why I've seen people turn around and look at her on the street and look at her when she laughs. She's so lovely."
Mrs. Crampton gave a large party to introduce her sister. It was the largest social affair that had been given in Grant County for many months. Everybody was invited and everybody went. There was a hired fiddle player, and another hired player to accompany him on the organ. There was ice cream—as much as you wanted, two flavors, vanilla and strawberry; Sane Crampton had sent to Garden City for the strawberry extract, but had forgotten the pink coloring, a lack which caused the only flaw in his wife's satisfac with the refreshments. The beds had been taken down in two rooms so two sets were run all night. It was a wonderful party Maud Emmons and Andy Sanderson were there. Maude in all the glory of a new skyblut neck ribbon whose loops and ends hung halfway down the wrinkled back of her brown cashmere waist. Maude had never before been admitted to the very inner circle of society and her satisfaction was only equaled by her surprise. It did not occur to her that she might owe her invitation to Andy's flourishing herd of cattle. Cattle had gone up that fall and Andy's eligibility had accompanied them. He and Maude had gone together for more than a year. They were not engaged, People never are engaged in Grant county. They simply go together till they are married.
Miss Murphy had just executed a very coy "chest or swing." and her laugh was running loudly up to the missing "do" when Maude and Andy entered. "Jes put your plunder in the,'bed room there,' called Miss Murphy gully, as she airily 'balanced on the corner.'" "My she's a dandy," ejaculated Andy" as he foll.wed her direction. "Oh I dunno," replied Maude "You ought to a seen her when I did the other day. She was a chasin' a calf out'a the lot, an' she wasn't so purified then I tell you." Maude was conscious of her red nose and wind blown frizzes, the result of the long drive and was consequently harder on Miss Murphy than she would otherwise have been.
The sets Bad "promenaded all you known where" when Maude and Andy came out of the improvised dressing room. Miss Murphy advanced glowingly to meet them. "I'm Miss Murphy," she announced, "my sister's bad to go to tend to the kid, an' she said to interduce myself. Do-remi-fa-sol-la-te-e-e. You're Mr. Sanderson isn't you, and you're Miss Emmons? Now you must be sure an 'get in the next set they're makein' up. Come in the front room here, I'm going to be first lady," "Ain't she cordial though," whispered Andy to Maude as they followed Miss Murphy, "Naw," snapped Maude, "her paints in spots." Maude's nose was still red They danced opposite Miss Murphy and Mr. Roberts and in the same set. There was a great deal of "chaseeing" in the figure, and of all the things that Maude

lanced badly, "chasseeing" was the worst She clumped and she stumbled, she wen he wrong way and got the whole set hope essy tangled. She didn't even "alamar left" right, and all the time Miss Murphy riggled and balanced and pirouetted and wung gaily back and forth, with a grace that was as maddening to Maude as it waltured to Andy. The next figure was "form a chain and cut a figure eight with the gent in the lead." Here Miss Murphy phone. She bobbed airly about at the end of the chair, keeping up a continual "do-me-fa," until Andy whispered anxiously to the stiff brown figure at his side: "Can't you act a little more livier, Maude; look now springy M Murphy is." No I can' t and I won't," answered Maude if you don't like the way I dance go dance with her." Maude still kept her red nose frame of mind. She got mixed up on the ast "swing on the corner" and spoiled the ast "grand promenade." Andy blushed or her, and with "Will you'st me with he next dance?" "Glad to, Mr. Sanderson. Your friend hasn't danced very much has she?" and with a sweep of her kirts she made room for him on the bench beside her. "I guess she aint feelin very well tonight," evaded Andy. "Ob goody, ts a waltz," cried Miss Murphy as the music started, "lets not miss a step, come in" and she held out her arms to him. She waltzed with a speed and abandon that delighted his German soul. Maude had never been able to waltz and now sat in stolid silence against the wall. Another square dance followed and still Maude at alone, her hands clasped in her lap, watching with dull eyes while Andy and Miss Murphy pranced around. Luella Simpson's brother asked her for her assistance in the next dance, but the set was in another room from the one in which Andy was dancing, and she couldn't see who was his partner. Her anxiety made her awkwarder than ever, and the climax came when she stumbled and fell flat on the floor. Everybody laughed, the Simpson boy the loudest of them all. The next舞 was a waltz, and again Maude sat against the wall and watched Andy whirl Murphy about. Two more square舞, and still she sat alone. Another waltz, and her eyes grew dim and her throat full from humiliation and anger as again she saw Andy and Miss Murphy together. Miss Murphy was enjoying herself hugely. She chattered and do-re-mi-fa-den" until poor Maude was almost frantic. When the dance ended they walked directly in front of her, Miss Murphy leaning heavily on his arm and looking winningly up in his face. They sat down directly opposite her, and still Miss Murphy bridled and ougled and Andy grinned and shuffled his feet. Maude's eyes never moved from them--though she could not hear what they said. Miss Murphy leaned back against the wall and coily cropped her eyelids while Andy bent eagerly forward to look in her face. Maude couldn't hear what he said, but the downcast lids flashed up "Do-re-mi-fal-so-la-te-e-e, Andy Sanderson, you naughty man, what are you sayin' them things to me for," Maude heard that, and in a moment she was be- done them, "Mr. Sanderson," she said thickly, "I want to go home right now." Andy started, looked at her, "Yes, Maude," he replied, and without a backward glance rose and followed her to the dressing room.
