I.-Coryrishted by 5. $. Mcclure and
Rights Reserved.
| had not known MIS-. Amanda
Dauson an hour before | became con
vinCed that she was woman worth
knowing, and | was glad that l was to
havc her for fellow traveller during
what had promised to be an unusually
wearisome and monotonous journey.
We were shut up in one of those
vehicles of torture, a Rocky Mountain
stage coach. Our destination was a
little mining camp called Aspen, in
what is known as the Gunnison coun-
try, in Colorado.
The day was rainy and cold. The
beauty and magnificence of the noun
tain pass oyer which we rode was lost
in low, hanging clouds and vapor;.
The rain came down steadily, and
sometimes a gust of wind sent it dash
ing furiously against the two small,
square windows in the side of the
coach.
Mrs. Dauson and | were the only
passengers. She told me that her
name was Amanda DausOn before we
had gone five miles over the rocky toll
road
could not see her very plainly in
the dim light of the coach, wrapped to
the chin, as she was, in a heavy gray
shawl, and wearing a large and old
fashioned black straw bonnet with an
antiquated black ribbon and bunch
OF faded red roses on it. But | could
see that she had large and bright black
eyes restless eyes they were, restless
and alert.
Had the day been fine | am sure
Mrs. Dauson would have seen all there
was to see on the road, olthough she
might not have had very profound
appreciation of the beauty and splen-
dor of mountain submits, of crystal
streams breaking their foamy waves
over gray boulders, of the lights and
shadows IN every glade and glen.
She seemed to be of a simple, quiet
nature, with a frankness and candor of
speech common only to those whose
past life is as an open book.
Before | had known her three hours
she told me something that almost any
other woman would have kept as the
saddest secret of her life, she told me
that she was a deserted wife.
She did not say or feel that Jarvis
Dauson had deserted her, else she
might not have told the story so simply.
She had such simple faith and trust
in all mankind, and such abiding, I'M
bounded faith i'll Jarvis Dauson that
she said simply that zone thing end
another, she s'posed, had kept him
from wrtin' an from comm home. u
GLOW long is it since you heard
from him?' | asked.

LAST PAGE-AFTER.

When first took you, little book,
To write my name upon your page,
When first her sottest, mildest look
Bade all my tender passions rage;
My heart was young in life's dear prime,
My soul isped at the founts of song,
rhe beauty of the poets rhyme
Hid all my idle thoughts among.
1t was as il the summer sun
Had drfted half my spirit through,
And meeting, mingling, one i'll one,
My heart was joy and sadness too.
The empty cEalice OF my life
Was placed her rosy lips between,
And melowed We're the pangs of strife
Ry something hidden and unseen.
The blood of honor tiaged my checks,
cast the impure deeds aside,
And pure as are the crystal creeks,
o. purple skies at eventide,
Became the thoughts, the deeds, the words,
That marked my life from day to day,
AID happy as the singing birds
That life speed on its earnest way.
All, little book dear little book
Loves blossom planted burst in flower,
And soon her tender yraces took
My whole life in their subtle power.
God bless the days, God bless the hearts
That drew a sweetness from above,
And heard the melody that starts
From out the ailvery throat of love-
The years may come, the years may 90,
With summer sunshine, summer rain,
With winter winds, and winter snow,
And sweetness mingliug with the pain.
Thy leaves may hold their gift of rhyme,
Her friends may write their hallowed
That mock the mad decay of time
Aud live in storied halls of fame
For, if she seemed an angel then,
so passing beautiful, so fair,
Whilst Rachel's Star-eyes shone again
Within the midnight of her hair
Thrice beautiful, thrice fair and sweet,
She seemeth now, when toll is past
And faithfully our bDsoms greet
The witchery of love at last.
hold it true, my propheSy
Upon thy early pages writ
When first loves token came to Inc
And my soul paused to answer it:
For now, when evening draweth nigh,
And peaceful shadows hide the strife,
We count, my little one and l.,
How many years she's been my wife.
