HEsNoWP FLOWER OF THE SIERRAs
Christina. Story.

On the crest Of the Sierra Nevada
Range, amid eternal winter, there APP
pears q gorgeous blood-red plant,
massed with startling brillancy against
pallid banks of snow. In size and
shape, the cloud-fower resembles q
hyacinth, but the leaves and stem, as
we'll as the blossoms, are Of n vivid
crimson hue. Unlike the Alpine flow
er, of hardy stem and straw-like tex
ture, this plant is succulent and ruddy,
but it is q phantom formed of ice and
fire. Plucked from its cold bed. it
drlps its life away in your hand, and in
q few moments all the fire and color is
gone il icy tears, and there remains on
~ a wet, shapeless, colorless film.
The traveller up the Sierras, hears Of
the strange blossom.from returningw way
farers, long before he reaches the
heights where it blossoms, No care is
able to transplant OF even to carry to
the lowlands the unique flower. On
the affairs of the upper air it is laid,
where no other fower-shape is found,
and he who would see it, must go to
that shrine of icy splendor.
In early times, the ire-fower, as ii
was called, was counted miraculous by
the pious few who, on missions of mer.
cy, crossed the icy peaks. More than
q hundred years ago, when English,
Dutch and French formed a sparse Dor
der of civilization on our Eastern coast,
the dark-eyed Spaniard entered Amer
