cover their composure they all seemed TO be
relieved. They. as friends of the wounded
deputy, had the perfectly natural feeling
of wanting to capture Rogers coupled with
that of hating to meet him. They had
heard definitely that he had been stopping
with us. We acknowledged that he had.
but told them that we had not seen him
since early in the morning. From where
we stood the cliff we could have tossed
a pebble down our shanty. Those fell
lows took our word that Rogers was not
then in the house, and rode back to town,
not, however, until they had helped us
catch our runaway horses. Put the ordi-
nary man under strong tension and sud-
denly relieve him and he willis. Rogers
lived under strong tension. 1t was but a
day or two after this last occurrence that
/ left the country. and it was not until
returned that L was told, in a few words,
the rest of his career. He did get back to
the little town once more, and not under
the escort of a sheriff's posse. He was
made the leader of select vigilance COM
mittee that waited on certain element in
that town. The duties of the committee
did not cease until it had escorted this ele-
ment across the New Mexico line into Col
orado. with not an Eau revor," but a
in honor of Rogers by the merchants OF the
town, and for time he was in high feath-
er. Finally word got to him that former
pal was in jail at the county seat, the next
town below. He boarded the first train for
the purpose of going down to see what he
could do for him. Somehow word got out
of his intended visit to the Jail. This Jail
was a two-story brick building, discon-
nected by a bit of open prairie from the
rest of the town. Two or three friends in
sisted on accompanying Rogers to the Jail,
but he said no; he would lay aside his arms
and go alone. And so he did, the friends
remaining where the town houses left off.
Rogers crossed the bit of open space and
was almost within reach of the Jail door
when the windows upstairs were thrown
open and he went down under leaden hail
that would have silenced battery. This
was more than two of his friends, both
young boys, could stand. and in the excite
ment of the moment they, quite unarmed,
ran towards his PROSTATE body, but only to
share his fate. The people in the little
town at the foot of the pass were greatly
incensed at this awful cowardliness, but
what could they do? They chartered an en-
CINE and car and a lot of determined men
were hurried to the scene, bat before they
arrived the brave deputies, who so nobly
protected their jail, had been spirited away.
But. after all, Rogers had few friends-in
fact, he only had one that / know of, and
the last time 1 saw her she asked me if 1

used to wear Dick had that on when he
died. she said, land here's his pocketknife.

Twin lilies they must be.
A-huttered from the Orient
To minister to me.
Rare incense from their rosy tips
Perfume both night and day,
Making an altar of each hour
Loves sweetest censers they.
Or, they may be a twain OF wings
Slow swaying to each thought
The pinions Of her snow-pure soul
With every impulse wrought
In grace that corresponds to all
The beauties of her mind.
Against my heart those wings do fold.
For she Is wondrous kind.

The poetry OF dreams
Set TO the measures OF a song
Whose swinging cadence seems
To stir the incense-lily blooms.
Or start the snowy wings
To beating in responsiveness.

October Days.

AS one who passes by the little bed
Where lies babe on borderlands of death.
Amid these faded bowers l softly tread
And breathe the odors with a bated breath.
The pale sunlower with Its rayless orb.
Supports colony of beetles brown;
And where the path the scattered pools absorb.
The butterflies build up hesting town.
Too slow for measurement the light clouds pass
To catch the lesser fervor of the sun,
Like wassailers above empty glass,
When all the revels of the feast done.
All songs are hushed: the birds that nyrnned the
praise
OF early dawn sit songless in their choir;
The crickets where the saffron grasses blaze,
Are striking oft sharp. discordant Tyre.
In rays that do not burn nor warm till noon,
The sun arises, plies his wonted task:
Subdued and soft midsummer moon,
Or smiling face behind fearful mask.
All things partake his sorrow: tangled skeins
OF droning gnats forbear a louder cry;
Or where the dark form of the vulture stains
The cloudless reach of autumn-painted sky.
Where dead ming lands in fading glory CLEAN,
The wild wcodpecker his alarum rings;
And where the idler passes in a dream,
Grasshoppers rise on quick and worried wings
The brier-clad crest reflects the faded hues
OF fires that burn the grasses to decay;
The rudy flames drenched in nightly dews,
And beauty fades with each succeeding day.
The garden spider spins his silken mesh
That vaulting crickets break and blunder
through;
Each night he builds the broken bars afresh,
Thas CLEAN with gems of evanescent dew.
IT, predatory wasp, where purple globes
OF grapes swing pendulous, is slipping wine;
Or mid the grass, with apple-scented robes
Still deeper delves the sly woodpecker's mine.
The flibustering crows and squirrels break
The brooding calm above the fields of corn;
And meadowlands at nightfall dream awake,
Where some lone quail still winds his alien
horn.
To each fair scene some tint of grief belongs,
Each cup of joy is tinged with sulen woe;
But still listen though the vesper songs
Run back in minors to the long agol

OF the radiant charm that lies
On the landscape and the forest,
Dressed in Autumns wondrous dyes.
Show the lustre on the oak leaf
And its purple rich and rare.
And the crimson on the sumac-
Paint that yellow maple there.
Give each shade and tint and color,
Purple, amethyst and blue;
Brown and gray on wood and meadow.
Rich bright yellow, carmine hue;
Hazy hills, the gray. worn stubble,
Distant farmhouse, wood caressed;
Orchard fruitless, and the shadows
OF the haystacks toward the west.
Then Wen praise thine art and magic;
Call thee blessed, honored, great;
Teach the young to speak thy praises
And thy virtues emulate.

Failed to pencil Natures dyes
Failed because the key that keeps them
Hangeth still in Paradise.

The Poorhouse Keeper.


"a True Story.)
The place: A railway station
In a little country town.
The man. A Hocsier farmer
Who seemed an awkward clown.
With bulk of large dimensions
And naught Of town-bred grace.
While some might judge him stolid.
Or stupid, by his face.
A little white-clad fodder
Was staggering about
Along. across the platform.
In waiting room and out;
Now scrambling for a moment
To the iron-armed settee,
Now seeking better quarters
On his big custodian's knee.
And once the little fellow
Took out the big mans watch,
Looked at it's face and chartered
A lot Of Highland Scotch,
Then put 1t back; the father
Il took It so to be)
Smiled wistfully and fondly.
Then turned and said to me:
at keep the county poorhouss
Right close to Centerville;
This little feller's mother
Died with us. and we still
Were parents to the baby
A helpless little bit
Till it had learned to love US
And we were loving it.
1.-THE father was a rascal.
Unworthy of the wife,
And no love but the mothers
Had fed this little life:
And when she died she begged US
That he should never get
His clutches on the baby
We couldn't let her fret.
''But wife and have others
To share our bed and board;
Their right is to inherit
Our little earthly hoard:
So when we felt the tendrils
OF this new love grow tight.
We sat down in the moonshine
And settled 1t one night.
my wife required no prompting
To understand my words
She'd heard that youngsters Mamma
AS sweet as songs of birds;
She'd felt those clinging child-arms
About her neck at night
She'd seen him in his nightgown,
With his morning face so bright.
''She'd known the trusting fondness
He felt for her and me,
So all I had to say was:
Now, Mary. don't you see
We've got to take prompt action
To lift this growing plant
We've got to move him quickly,
Or pretty soon-we can't
From one thing to another
Our talk ran on; at last
We found the tad home nest
Where no babes lots were cast;
We made quite sure they'd love him,
Before we gave consent,
And away to his new parents
The babe and are bent.
HE don't know-cant, he's only
Just eighteen months Of age
He's going off for always
From his native poorhouse cage;
But--he'll get the best of tres tnent,
The loving little scamp"
He stopped; his chin was shaking
And his eyes and cheeks were damp.
The place: Gods throne in heaven
With angels bowling down.
The man: A radiant being
Beneath a gem-girt crown.
A chorus grand arises:
For. inasmuch as We
Have loved the friendless babies,
So have We, too, loved me-
