Wind Of the winter night
Under the starry skies.
Somewhere my lady bright.
slumbering lies.
Wrapped In calm maiden dreams
Where the pale moonlight streams.
Softly she sleeps.
! do not know her face.
Pure as the lonely star
That In yon darkling space
- Shincth afar:
' Never with soft command
Touched ! her willing hand,
Kissed l her lips.
! have not heard her voice.
] do not know her name:
Yet doth my heart rejoice.
Owning her claim:
Yet am I true to her:
All that Is due TO her
Sacred keep.
Never n thought OF me
Troubles her soft repose:
Courant of mine may be
e. Lily nor rose.
They may not bear to her
This hearts fond prayer to her.
Yet-she In mine.
Wind of the winter night.
Over the fields of snow.
Over the hills SO white.
Tenderly blow!
Somewhere red roses bloom:
Into her warm. hushed room.
Bear thou their breath.
>,
Whisper-Say. nay. thou sprite.
Breathe thou no tender word:
Wind of the winter night.
Die thou unheard
True love shall yet prevail.
Telling its own sweet tale:
I TIL then wait.

his "oooa- Charter.

The wagons OF the sreighterS were, In
the sixties. the only means OF trans
porting goods across the plains. Dur
ing the dry season It was easy to ford
the little creeks. but In the spring.
when the snow began to melt and run
down the mountains. these streams.
transformed into raging torrents. were
too dangerous to pass through. TEN
porary bridges were then built by the
ranchmen. who compelled the freightef
to pay toll.
Their toll. however. was lawful only
II they had received a charter from the
t&rritorial authorities; then they might
charge such toll as they pleased. The
price for each team of six yoke Ut
oxen and wagon was determined by
the ability Of the freighter to pay.
varying from i've to twenty dollars.
Col. Inman and Col. Cody buffalo
Bid In their book. ''The Great Salt
Lake Trail" tell an amusing story Ct
a ranchman who. although without a
charter, enforced the payment of toll
on those who. crossed his bridge.
In the spring of 1866 two trains. trav-
cling In company. drew near to Rock
Creek. over which a ranchman had
erected bridge. The train in the lead
was in charge of a man known as
Suffering Brown. because OF an i'm
pediment in his speech. As they nea--
ed the bridge. Brown rode back to the
other wagon-master and said:
'.B-b-billy, wh-what are you g-g-so-
ing to do about p-p-paying t-t-toll on
this b-b-bridge?"
Billy answered that II the fellow had
a charter. they would be compelled 10
nay: otherwise they would not.
Brown rode back to the bridge. where
the ranchman stood to collect his toll
in advance-five dollars a team. Browl
had twenty wagons-his friend twen-
ty-six-and he refused to pay the IRE
hundred dollars demanded. why
xon't you pay?" asked the ranchman.
.Y-y-you h-h-haint g-g-got a ch-tn-
charter"
.Yes. have, and I'll show 1t to you, y
said the ranchman, III you'll go back
with me to the ranch"
Brown went-it was only two or
three hundred yards-and in a short
time returned to the train. The other
wagon-master asked II the charter wss
all right. YES" answered Brown. i've
settled. and you'd better pay up."
After crossing the bridge, Brown now
and then broke out into loud laughter.
but not until the train had camped
would he disclose the cause Of his hill
arity.
At supper he said that when he .'ode
to the door of the ranch. he sat on his
mule and told the ranchman to trot ont
bis charter, and be quick about It.
The man went in, and soon returned.
shouting:
you suffering thief. here II is.
what do you think Of 1t !"
Brown looked up; the ranchman was
rointing . double barreled shotgun.
with both triggers cooked. straight at
his head
..Is that your charter?" asked the
Fason-master.
at is" answered the ranchmaa.
what did you do. Brown!" inquired
his friend.
.N-n-not much. J-j-just t-t-told him
