Tho Drauqht OF Joy.

The great library was the prettiest
room in Robert Maitland's magnificent
mansion in Denver's most favored res
idence section. 1t was a long, low
studded room with a heavy beamed
ceiling. The low book cases, about
five feet high, ran between all the
windows and doors on all side- Of the
room. At one end there was a huge
open fire place built of rough stone,
and as It was winter a cheerful fire
Of logs blazed on the hearth. 1t was
a mans room prominently. The
drawing-room across the hall was Mrs.
Maitland's domain, but the library re-
flected hei husbands picturesque II

walls there were pictures Of
the west by Remington, March
and, Dunton, Dixon and others.
and to set them on, finely mount
ed heads of bear and deer and buffalo.
Swords and other arms stood here and
there. The writing table was massive
and the chairs easy, comfortable and
inviting. The floor was strewn with
robes and rugs. From the windows
facing westward. since the house was
set on d high hill, one could see the
great rampant Of the range.
There were three men in the room
on that brilliant morning early in jan
uary something like a month after
these adventures In the mountains
which have been so veraciously
set forth. Two of them were the
brothers Maitland; the third was New
