The Last Woman

"How are you, Radnor?" said Roderick. "I think, we'd better follow Mrs. Duncan's advice, and be friends; eh? I think I know why you came, and now I'll see to it that you have a good story to wire to your paper, to-night. It will beat the one you hoped to get, all hollow. I'll get you to one side and alone, presently, and tell you all about it. Listen to those cowpunchers cheer, will you! But, I'll tell you what, it isn't a patch on the cheer that is in my heart."

"You have won the first woman in the land, Duncan," said Radnor, shaking hands heartily.

"The first woman? No, the last. It takes the last woman to do things, Radnor."

"And the best; eh?"

"Both, old chap."
