Toward evening the vast silence was
broken. Herds of antelope began to

nearing 1t the antelope noticed some

vINYARDS AND FARM s.

Large and luscious fruits and grapes
decked the tables, and every dainty and
unusual article of food that could be
imagined filed every space on the
ample board. Kit Carson had never
seen anything like those delicious and
luscious fruits in all his life.
Unable to believe his eyes, he turned
to look at the other side of the noun
tain. Here, too, all was changed. Sill
yer streams flashed and sparkled in
every direction, ramifying the broad
plains like cleaning threads. Grain
was growing In thriving rows; several
fourishing and spreading towns were
discernible, and numbers of picturesque
and prosperous homes in the midst Of
acred orchards and vineyards lay be-
fore him. The vineyards seemed to
spread for miles. Their green and deli
cate freshness was marvel to the eye,
and the trapper dazed by the swiftness
and unexpectedness OF the transforma-
tion,- turned once more to the east.
Wonder of wondersl The picnic at
the spring had vanished. The fields
that but an instant ago were greenIy
growing were now of rich, burning
gold. Droves of horses drew huge
threshing machines over the plain.
