school teacher of Glencaid, came d.
rect from the far east, her starting
point some little junction place back
in Vermont, although she proudly
named Boston as her home. having
once visited in that metropolis for
three delicious weeks. She was of an
ardent, impressionable nature. Her
mind was nutured upon eastern con-
ceptions Of our common country, her
imagination aglow with weird tales of
the frontier, and her bright eyes per-
ceived the vivid coloring of romance
In each prosaic object west of the
tawny Missouri. All appeared so dit
ferent from that established life to
which she had grown accustomed

esque language,-while her brain so
teemed with lurid pictures OF border
experiences and heroes as to reveal
romantic possibilities everywhere AS
her eager eyes traced the serratcd
peaks of snow-clad mountain range
her heart throbbed with anticipation
of wonders yet to come. Homesick-
ness was thing undreamed of; her
active brain responded to each new
impression.

her eyes to see clearer through the

rider swept rapidly past, horse and

later she awoke again, this time to the
full glare of day, and to the remem-

her wide-open eyes filled with qres-
