uneasy.

held secret. l know who Colonel
Henry G. De Long was, but for the
life of me | have never been able to
locate the whereabouts of the late Mr.

Winter melted into spring, and sum
mer came, giving way to autumn. AS
the sere leaves were falling into
new-made grave the remains OF Cap
tain Fonda were deposited therein.
He had died without having his Gu
riosity enlightened. The Auraria Ga
zette next day printed a notice, the
manuscript of which was in the same
old handwriting:
1.-THE death of the late Captain
Randall Fonda came as great blow
to his bereaved wife. Mrs. Fonda, as
the granddaughter OF the late Colonel
Henry G. De Long, one of McGinville's
most prominent, influential and
wealthy citizens, has received the deep
sympathy Of those who have had the
pleasure of knowing her during her
brief married life"
The years have come and gone, ana
silver threads have invaded raven
