Suddenly some awakened instinct in
the numbed brain of the scout told
him of a change in their surroundings.
He felt rather than saw the difference.
They had crossed the sand belt, and
the contour of the prairie was rising.
Then the Cimarron was near! Even
as the conviction took shape, the
ghostly outline Of small elevation
doomed through the murk. He stared
at 1t scarce believing, imagining a de-
fusion, and then sent his cracked
voice back in shout on the wind.
We're thar, Brick' My God, lad,
here's the Cimarron!"
He wheeled about, shading his
mouth, SO as to make the words carry
through the storm.

AS though startled by some electric
shock, Hamlin sprang forward. his

fresh hope, plowed through the snow
to CAROLS side, and shook and
slapped the fellow into semi-conscious

cried, jerking up the dangling head

nothing except that wall of swirling

off to good advantage the voice and

must be an allegro aria with brilliant
passages, a gallant aria, a duet for the
first male singer and the prima donna.
In these pieces the big forms OF meas

MADAME Du BARRY.


Madame du Barry on this especial
day was in q bad temper, q rare con-
dttion Of mind with he who, capricious,
fanciful, volatile, n changeable as n
woman could be, rarely displayed i'll

She was seated now, buried in cush-

windows showing the trees Of the park,
a glimpse Of the fountains, n a sky
Of forget-me-not blue broken by pearl
white clouds.

impatience.
Madame du Barry was dressed in a
gown Of blue Italian silk, stiff almost
as a brocade, clasped at the jwaist with
diamonds, n showing the pearl white
of her throat and arms to perfection.
Her hair was dressed after her own
fashion, that Is to say negligently; the
frisure and the other horrors Of the
hair dresser's art had been condemned
by her, and to the terror of the frumps
Of the court a fashion had been intro
duced disastrous to all but the young
and beautiful. Her face was lovely, one
of those faces that surprise al much
as they delight us. because they are
new.
With what feelings Of disgust one
reads the description OF her by the in
famous Madame Gourdan: Her waist
was well rounded; her face, Of an oval
that might have been chiseled by a
sculptor; she had large deep-set eyes
whose subtle glance was always de-
lightful, and I noticed that her skin
was Of marble Wilderness. her hands and.

in my two hands"
And yet this ogress in her ~srereotyped
way had found something OF the coun-

set eyes whose subtle glance was al

Madame du Barry raised her head c:
