CHATTER l.--On h&fth-
They vera sitting beneath shs uprssding
branches Of a monster live oak one bssuti-
fal afternoon, old Abraham Fife and his
good wifs Nancy. Way back In cha rosy
days Of youth, whsn life was all JOY and
hope, this now loving old couple had sx-
changed their little home mid The corn
fields Of old Indiana for one In Gle rough
land Of California. They were two Of the
Thousands that braved the hard journey Of
the plains and settled In that ncw,tound
wonderland Of shs early SOS.
Hardy old pionssrs shsy wers, grown old
and stopped in the rough grspple of that
land Of gold In its early days. THAR chill
dren had married and left them slons at
the old home on tho ranch Of some thoua-
ands Of acres, but twas . lonely spot 10
them when the children lsft. and some
years asterward they moved 70 the quiet
little village Of Gold Hill, thsrs % while
away the evening time Of life. Abrshsm
was rough old pioneer and usually SMILED
l
at the tender side Of life, but az he sat
beneath the live osk that Afternoon with
his good wife Nancy, his mind fill into
"reminiscences Of the long years Of bis busy
life. and his heart grew touchingly tender
as he called up the sweet memories of those
old days gone forever.
