tnat Pegasus left the becindered
bumpers at Butcher Knife Creek,

breakfast.
Two hours later "our hero hit the
trail for Coolers ranch. AS he loped
along in his old-time form the prairie
oens flew cackling from his path,
Whlle the coyotes ducked to safety in
their earthly dens. But Pegasus, I'M
mindful of the voices of nature, was
coaxing his stomach to be mesmer-

at Coolers table.
When that worthy had fed him, he
allowed he needed no help.
lnaSmuch as necessity clamored,
Pegasus insisted. At last a bargain
was struck and next morning, when
the bell-wether of Coolers sheep am
bled away over the prairie's breast,
she was followed not only by the
flock, but by Pegasus Lewellyn Dillon
as well.
For a week Pegasus maintained his

honey bees. Then there came a night

There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to

Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shadows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afoat
And we must take the current when
it deserves

So mix'd in him, that Nature might

And say to all the world, "This was

their fate:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our

But in ourselves, that we are under

When Man Goeth to His Long Home.

How did the mar die? IT'S a ques-
ton that the world asks about every
body. In childhood one thinks about
death as a far-of day-a day when
nc one is allowed to whistle in the
house and when people enter the
front door without knocking and
know where to go without being told.
There is the gloomy, still church, the
faint rustic of women's garments,
the becreped heads leaning low, the
slow, melancholy music, and the
solemn words that bespeak the little
ness of man and the reason for his
peace. And you wonder.
x X X
As the years pass you find there is
such a lot of death, and you have not
lived long before you realize that
most of life is dying. No one that
you know is spared the touch of the
moulded fingers. And as you are
forced to look upon the Thing it be-
comes less terrible and in a stupid,
useless sort of way you can reason
about it. You find that after all it
IS a pretty easy sort of a matter to
die and that there are comparatively

few people who have not died. You
learn that the little books that tell
about the horror. of death-bed scenes
show a picture that is not usually
seen, for in the great majority OF
cases you see that the mental dread
of death decreases as the body be-
comes weaker and the passing is
quiet and without complaint or
fright. As you live and see you dis
cover what has already been known
that the most natural event in all
life is dying and the gaunt, grim
| Spectre ~terrorizes only where he
grapples unawares and arranges to
blot out to-day the mind that had
every reason to expect to be vigorous
on the borrow. The sudden death
that in an instant transforms flesh
and brain to clay may be kind, but
the ghastliest sound in nature is the
surprised whimper of a man who
turns from reveling in the sunshine
to find himself dangling over the last
abyss-fresh with the fulness of liv-
ing, yet full of the knowledge that
death cannot be denied. This is, or
may be, hell.
This is the kind of death that shud-
ders all mankind and creams a tale
of incompleteness and the neglect
of sacred duties. At the Southern
depot two years ago a young nan
stepped off a train and was struck
by a switch engine, the lower part of
his body being crushed to bits. He
was carried into the baggage o
and laid high on a box; a physician
examined him and shook his head,
and the crowd stepped back and
waited. Here were all the elements
of a tragedy. The man didn't suf-
fer; he was intensely alive, acutely
conscious, and he knew he couldn't
