No. 5. True Blue. fiudson, Wis. may. 1900. . . MOTTO, . . “Hood Is to donne.” The Lost Hope. Written for the True Blue. We were travelling up the great canon, the sun sending his rays down upon us unceasingly. The air was still and in a distant tree a crow sat taking a rest after his noonday meal. The burros stalked along with ears down, their drivers ever urging them on. Throughout the long, hot afternoon we toiled on and just as the sun was setting in the west we came upon a little cabin built by the side of a road- way leading into the gorge. An old man came to the door at my call and heartily welcomed us. For this we were thank- ful, for, as after traveling over the burning plains of Arizo- na, our horses and pack mules were well exhausted. In the evening, when we were all seat- ed oh the porch, a thunder-storm came up. The roar and crack of the lightning resounded through- out the canon, when suddenly it ceased as quickly as it had be- gun. The old man leaned against the porch post and would have fallen had I not caught him and aided him into the house When a little recovered he said: “Stranger I have known of but one storm before like this and that storm was one the recol- lection of which is branded upon my brain as though with a hot iron.” The old man crossed over to the fireplace deliberately filled his pipe and then told the following story: “It was six yearsago last June, 1 was then owner of the Four X ranch. One day a young man came to me and applied for a position which I gave him as brander and puncher. As the days wore on 1 came to dislike this fellow. I had been the sole companion and adviser of my only daughter whose mother had died when she was child. Per-

TRUE BLUE M AY, haps I was a bit jealous over this man's attentions, but God knows I tried to do right. I had always hoped that some day we might sell the ranch and I could intro- duce my daughter into the socie- ty of California’s great metropolis. One day James came to me and asked me for my daughter’s hand. I refused him, gave him his discharge and the money due him. That night a storm came upon us. T could not sleep but lay listening to the wild roar, when I thought I heard the noise of horse’s feet and then the creak of the big gate; going to the win dow I saw James aiding my daughter to mount her horse. He then sprang upon his and they were gone. Seizing my ri- fle and holster, I rushec down stairs and called my men and ordered the horses to be brought up immediately. We were soon ready, I cannot forget the sight; my men all around me with their rifles resting across the pum- mels of their saddles. I cried out. ‘capture them at any cost.' Off we started and in the far dis- tance we could hear the clatter of the hoofs of their horses; we were gaining on them; nearer and nearer we came, till through the dusk and rain we could make out their forms. We rode on another half mile and were fol- lowing the path close t the cliff up yonder when my darling’s horse stumbled and with a scream she went over the cliff. James hesitated but one moment turned his horse’s head and plunged the spurs ints its sides and followed. The storm had stopped but a moment before and the moon came out from be- hind the cloudsand, there,strang- er, my hopes were crushed and my life was changed. In the still of a summer's night the pines and furs on yon point whisper of the love, and hopes, that, went out on that night. I am growing old now, stranger, and will soon pass on to another world. Will I be held in account for this in the world beyond Glen D. Gallup. k 5 fc The Athletic Park.
