In town the funeral preparations
were soon made. The little coffin,
painted white by Bob's loving fingers,
was ready for its tenant Out of the
rare lace which was the price of their
souls. the women who were sinners
had fashioned dainty robe, sweetened
with perfume and purified with tears.
While Mrs. Marvin and Fay were be-
ing robed, men went about announcing
the services; and at two o'clock the
motley procession started for the GEM
etery on the brow of the hill.
THE preacher first, with the corpse, :"
Wheeler commanded; then the family
and mourning friends" So at the head
went the small Scotch woman with her
big Bible on her arm, and tall Bob
Stedman with the little white coffin on
his shoulder. Behind the father and
mother came the crowd, two and two
in orderly rank. None had stayed
away.
After the people had massed them
selves at the grave there was an
awkward pause.
The ordinary method of procedure
was: dump him in. Now blaze away,
boys" Plainly that was out of order,
and Bob held the coffin with an air
of embarrassed defiance. Wheeler's
whisper relieved the silence: Lay
her in, Bob; then Mrs. Muir can read
the Bible"
Logan had never known an orthodox
funeral service. Hence there was no
expectation of the customary Scrip
ture, and no surprise when the thin,
high-pitched voice began: THY
daughter is dead, why troublest thou
the Master" and read Marks tender,
dramatic story of the little daughter
of Jairus to whom the Nazarene said
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1895-03-22

"Tdlifhd cuH,l" (My little darling, come
to me- She stumbled over the Aramaic
words, then went on evenly to the end
of the chapter. She closed the book,
folded it within her arms, and faltered
timidly: Wen hae the bit o prayer"
The crowd stood with wide open
eyes, alert, hushed, expectant.
20 Lord, God of our fathers. who
hast taken this wee lambkin"-she
gasped, stopped-frightened perhaps,
at her own audacity; only the spring
wind ruffled the stiffness. After a
moments silence she started again, in
a voice shaken with sobs: Our Father,
which art in Heaven" and finished the
old, old petition without break or fall
ter.
Buckskin Bill had once attended
church in Cheyenne. The repetition of
the Lords Prayer closed the service.
1t was years before, but, like most
plainsmen, Bill had a long memory.
At the sound of the familiar words he
gave a snort of approval.
What is it?" asked Tom Gibson.
Hush" Bill replied; ''she's saying
the doXology."
The prayer was ended, and the peo-
pie waited for the mourners to go.
Logan was satisfied; the old Scotch
woman was not. The first answer in
the Westminster catechism rested
heavily on her soul and moved her
trembling lips to speech. She handed
her Bible to Bob Stedman, turned and
faced the crowd and started:
aye heard the story, lads" she said,
land it's like this: When We come to a
narrow place in the canyon, and there's
stane in the way, and the sheep will
ma gaze through, We take the least
lamb, the wee ane, and lift it over the
stane, and its mither jumps after it,
and a the rest follow. That's what
the guild Lord has done here. He has
taken the wee lambkin, the BARN We
all lo'ed, and lifted her over the stane.
Ye Gamma see. her, but He wants her
mither come after her, and a the
rest of We to gang alang. He has
called the BARN to Himself because He
wants you a; and, oh, lads, dear lads,
will We ma Gomez
She stopped a moment for breath,
raised eyes and arms to the heavens,
and prayed in an irregular crescendo:
Lord God, lead these wandering sheep
into the fold! o Lord God, lead them,
lead them, lead them a to thyself!"
and fell back in Wheeler's out
stretched arms, with Wheeler's tears
falling on her up-turned face.
The Christianity of a cow camp is
muscular and ephemeral Cowboy
preachers are made in the east, not
born on The plains. Passing strange
then that the church at Logan bears
the inscription:
In loving memory OF
FAY MARVIN
Died June 9. 1887. Aged 8 years. 1 month. IL
days
And Jesus called a little child unto Him"
Mary f. Lathrop, in Independent.
