Our suspicious were quickly reused.
We craned our necks and watched in
silence. We had only minute to wait
before big bunch of horses, going at
a swift trot, broke cover of the point.
A few seconds later, we discovered, on
the outskirts of the herd, which doubt

own, two pony riders turning the lead
ers across the valley.
We did not have to guess that these
men were ''rustlers," and that there
were more of them in the rear push

ment of herd and men proclaimed the
fact. A gang of our mountain free
hooters had taken advantage of the
stockmen's stampede" to Lander to
make another stampede, which should
be vastly to their own advantage.
The men were steering their catch
across Black Rock valley up to the
mouth of Two-owe-tee pass. Once
through that difficult gap, they would
hustle the herd into the Businesses of
Owl Creek mountains, break it up into
small lunches and get away with the
horses at their leisure.

We rather thought so ourselves. We
then ate bit of dinner and rested,
listening meanwhile for the tramp of
the herd. 1t was nearly four o'clock
when we heard the rumble of their
hoofs and sighted their trail of dust
up the canyon.
We quickly took our places. Florence

Tell the great story of gallantry bred
Out of mems hate for the bonds that
enthrall-
Tell the high story
OF God-given glory
OF strength for the just and the Lord

Deathless the love they won
While love shall last, IT,
While still from sire to son =:
Precepts are passed
While the stars shine
Ger your country and mine!
Shame on the man who is racked by the

Narrow the zone that his little soul bounds!
Let the guns roar,
Let the red rockets soar,
And bring from the smithies the anvils
once more!
With the fife and the drum
And the bugle and bomb
Let the universe know that the great day
is comet
For their glory who turned from the plow
to the sword
Make a sound-make a sound of great joy
to the Lord!
BY the deeds they wrought,
BY the fights they fought,
BY the freedom that with their rich blood
they bought,

To be worthy of and true
To the trust they handed down,
Each a monarch in his right,
Worthy of a monarch's crowni

Keep its starry field of blue,
And its stripes of red and white
Free from stain,
So that where it floats a sea,
or upon the starry plain

Still the emblem they designed
And, in dying, consecrated-
Still the flag they dedicated
To the glory of mankind!
What is the story the skyrockets tell,
Soaring up over the walls of the night?
sTis the story of pride that was lofty and
fell
When the stars of our freedom burst
grandly in sight,
Flooding the world with their glorious
light!
As the years go by
And traditions die,
And men aspire
Let the beacons flash on crag and shore,
Let the signal lights rise higher, higher,
Ever more brilliant than before;
Ever till earth from her orbit shall fall
Let the scepters they won
Pass from sire to SON
Each a king in his right and the Lord
