The Peace of the Prairies.
By IMRI ZUMwALT.

BY INRI zUMwALT
| have walked the dim aises of the forest
Far back from the frequented ways
Where the wilderness wide and unconquered
In shadowy solitude laws
| have been in the heart of the desert
With the tawny earth stretching away
To far distant, low lying ranges
Haze curtained, nebulous gray
have dwelt among towering mountains
That change not centuries pass
Ontroubled by tempest torrent,
Immovable, voiceless and vast
| have stood on the beach while the breakers
Came rolling INCREASINGLY in
FROM atar on the fathomless ocean
With its distances misty and dim
But the mountains majestic and silent
The forest primeval and free
The deserts far flung deso1ation,
The tireless tides of the sea-
Can ne'er be enshrined so devoutlv
In the 1nnermost depths of my heart
AS the wide stretching sweep of the prairies
And the peace that the prairies impart-
The grass growing green on the hillside.
he breath of the soil on the breeze
he wheathelds whitening to harvest
The sigh of the wind in the trees.
he gl1sten1ng snowfie1ds of winter.
The crystal boughs swinging a1oft
he sunsets, not gorgeous nor garish.
But hazy and tender and soft
For, the scenes of my youth long departed
More wondrous forever shall be
han forest or towering mountain
Or desert or far swelling sea-
And no matter how far | may wander
Be 1t cen to the ends of the EARTH
L shall ever turn backward in longing
10 the far away land of my birth

the negroes and many were the fascinating
tales she wove for me while we munched
apples, seated high up in the green
boughs. Consequently, in the thought of
an afternoon spent with Mary, all else was
forgotten a hasty kiss to mother and |
gone, fleeing to the joys of my last care
free day
For me that fateful afternoon sped on
lightly and happily and Mary and l stayed
in the orchard under the shady trees until
the gathering gloom creeping over the grass
made me sCamPer up the path and into the
kitchen door. Aunt Rhoda had the supper
ready to serve. We were not stylish nor
up-to-date and ate our supper at night.
However, had returned and |
dragged my rocking chair into the kitchen
and kept up fluent conversation with old
Aunt RhOda. who Srumbled exceedingly be
cause her biscuits were being spoiled.
1T was close on to nine o'clock when
father and brother came, but did not
think it strange that mother had not re-
turned, for she had often stayed over like
that and helped the women put away the
silver and do all those little odds and ends
which are never trusted to servants. Alter
supper father started to the Hogue home to
walk back with mother. We children played
about in the kitchen with lively game of
tag and ANNOYED Aunt RhOda until her pa
tience strained almost to the breaking
point.
After some time I heard father come in
and go into the library, but it not until
he walked unsteadily into the kitchen with
a slip of paper in his hand that | became
aware of d tenseness in the atmosphere
Fathers face looked strange and the hand
that held the paper shaking visibly.
Aunt Rhoda, looking into his eyes, snatched
it suddenly away from him, although she
we'll knew she could not decipher word.
Aunt Rhoda had been slave and had never
read. Brother and | were still, for we both
felt that something unusual had happened.
The note that poor old Aunt Rhoda was trv-
ing hard to understand written in
mothers dashing hand and thus:
Dear Ned:
:" L going to the lawn party with Howard
Spencer. Be sure to come over if you get back
in tme-Helen.'
That was all.
Aunt Rhoda obliged to shake father
before she could prevail upon him to speak.
His eyes were staring beyond the kitchen
wall and seeing things could not under
stand.
Neither of them have been there
HE barely whispered the words and on
his face there was beginning to settle that
hard and cruel look that it during
eighteen years He was changed before our
eyes in almost the twinkling of eye. Our
old father was leaving forever. but. child
like, did not know. 1t seemed to then
that his eyes growing green, and
wondered vaguely if it sort of
