Dr.. Minnigerode, rector OF ST Pauls
Church during the war, and has painted
this likeness from the best availa BILE pho
tosraphs Of General Lee.
Captain McCabs said that the photo
graph, which was considered the best,
and which had been principally used in
preparing the portrait, was one taken
from the back porch of the house now
occupied by the Historical Society, which
was the residence of General Lee during
the war The speaker read letter from
Mrs, Andrews. in which she expressed
her love for General Lee and for Rich
mcnd. Captain NIcCabe's address was
pronounced masterpiece.
Whether Lee lived in vain, and wheth-
er we who fought in the Confederate
army fought in vain. and whether
those who fell in that great fight
died In vain" he declared In con-
clusion, will depend on Southern man
hood and womanhood OF the present day
and of succeeding generations. If what
they ponder OF the life and character
OF Lee causes them to become better
men and women, more resolute in char
acter, stronger lovers OF what is just and
honorable, then Lee did not live in vain"
Mr.. Joseph Bryan, president of the
Virginia Historical Society, accepted the
picture on the part OF the society in a
short speech, in which he referred to
the four great military leaders the Eng
lish speaking race has produced-Marl-
borough. Wellington, Washington and
Lee-''two of England and two of Vir-
ginia." Mr.. Bryan said in closing:
TT has been said that providence in
tended that Washington should have no
children in order that he might become
the Father of his Country Lee was de-
prived of his Arlington home in order
that he might have a home in the hearts
of his countrymen."

Sertilizes them. The speaker cited as
instances of this general truth the SUES,

Continuing, Mr., Montague traced the

drew rein to let the cayuse regain his breath ;

grown very late. Indeed, from between the
peaks of the Saguache hills the level rays OF
the setting sun shone full in my face and
frightened the dry grass around the, pony
boots, but beneath them lay long shadows,
and in the gathering twilight Hayden Pass
yawned dark and gloomly at my feet. ;, !,
Come, Selim, we must get out OF Inis, 81 . !.
said to the cayuse with shake OF the rem;
but before he could take step forward, from
a pinon-shrouded gulch to my left arose a
deep, long-drawn howl. The moment after
another rang out clear and ominous from the
opposite side of Hayden Pass. r.,

at my rear.
'It's the wolves, and they have us almost
surrounded. Go it, Selim!" | cried, as L gave
him rein.
Half wild with fear, he rushed off down
the mountain side.
That was mad ride for life. Now we
dashed under the Hanging boughs of
stunted cedar, next we leaped fallen tree
top, scattering dry branches right and left,
and then we jumped deep gully or went
headlong off ledge of rocks not seen in the
dim light until too late to avoid them.
Somehow we reached the bottom of the
pass in safety, and flew down the narrow
trail to the mouth of the canyon. As we
emerged into the open valley, saw the glow
of lights at Gottliebs cabin-another pioneer
settler, only three miles away II only the
cayuse could distance our terrible pursuers
that far, we were safe.
Down grade and clear trail. Go it. Sc

And the little horse lay low upon the
ground while the echo of his hoof-beats rang
a rhythmical march of triumph upon the hard
packed soil.
But glancing over my shoulder, through
the twilight, [ saw pack of flying shadows
horribly close at our heels. The bowling had
ceased long since, as the wolves were now
saving their breath to chase their prey.
'Faster-faster. Selim!"I shouted.
And the pony sprang forward with increas-
ed speed only to stumble and fall sending me
head over heels into clump of oak brush

found her standing off mountain lion from

tomorrow"
That settled the matter, of course, so in the
morning l -herded the stock, while Horace
rode among the foothills to the south, OF us,
afternoon left the cattle with him and start
ed off to the northward, hoping to find some sol e
trace Of our stray by the time reached Steei
Canyon, if not before. Il
My pony seemed to be too nearly worn out
by his mornings work for so long ride that
day; SO 1 first went home. and exchanged, my
broncho for fathers yellow cayuse, when
happened to be standing in the stable. ;,
Right here let me explain that broncho
is Colorado yerancular for native. pony,
same animal. Fathers pet riding horse, Sc
lin, had been brought from the latter, State,
hence we usually called him by the local name.
AS was changing my saddle from one pony,
to the other. mother came out to- the. corral
with a steaming cup of strong coffee for my
refreshment, and, when rode away. repeated
her her injunction to "look well for Tan1glleetop,
for she was the best cow on the ranch.

An hours brisk riding brought me to the
mouth of the gulch; two hours, search prov

depths, and l turned the cayuse homeward,
first pausing and looking out over the valley.

'Iast summer the cattle used to run in

that must be where the stray cow is. It's a
| little late to go up there tonight, but mother
thinks so much of Tangletop, guess we'll have
to go, Selim; so step out lively"
And / rode on still to the north.
Now Hayden Pass was the name given to
narrow, gloomy canyon that cut deep into
the Sangre de Christie Mountains, almost
meeting a gulch on the opposite side of the
range, there being but a low ridge between
the respective heads of-the two ravines.
Hence the name of the Pass" But
though the canyon itself was cheerless enough,
its upper slopes were sunny and always cloth

Rising, I attempted to climb the pine tree
but it was fully three feet through at the base
while the nearest branches were quite twenty
