OLD DAYS FOREVER PASSED

COW camps, became lost on the Staked
Plains of Texas--how he stumbled for
ward under the heat of the biistering
sun, falling now, and then to the sur
face of the peeless plain to- dig fran.
tically with his bleeding fingers for
water; how his tongue, parched and
swollen, hung from his cracked lips
because there was no longer any room
inside his mouth to contain It; how he
espied now and then on the horizon,
In the very midst of the idly shift
ing strata of heat waves, beautiful
lake, surrounded by green trees and
grass; of how he cried aloud with
fierce Joy at the sight and feebly
plunged forward once more to dip his
lips into the cooling fluid, only to
have the blue water, as he approached
nearer, vanish as suddenly as II had
appeared; Of how. at length, he fell
fainting by the wayside and recov-
cred consciousness only to find that he
had been picked up by the beautiful
daughter of a passing emigrant who
now held to his mouth a damp, cool
gourdful of that precious liquid--wa-
ter. And of how he travelled on into
Santa Fe with this emigrant and his
daughter, fell in love, got married,
had eight children n everything like
that? Who doesn't remember IL? Ev-
erybOdy does, of course.
Well, gentle reader, those old days
