An Ahnenturr By Peter Jensen, 314 One hot day in July a man was slowly riding over the prairies of Nebraska. It had been a hot summer and the grass which was waist high, was very dry. The man had been riding all day, and being tired, he did not notice the cloud of smoke advancing from the south. ! The smoke was caused by a great prairie fire, which was now about three miles wide, and was driven before a heavy wind with great rapidity. The man, thinking it about time to stop for the night, drew rein by a small spring. As he was watering his horse, he looked around and saw a sight which horrihed him. The great fire was burning its way toward where he was now standing; and he knew that soon it would be upon him. Hastily throwing all the baggage from his horse, he mounted and began his race for life. He knew, that if he could reach the Platte river, about ten miles to the north, he would be safe. For a time he held his own with the fire, but the speed began to 1ell on his horse, and he saw that the fire was steadily gaining on him. When he had covered half the distance to the river, 'the fire was nearer'than before, and he saw that the race would be close. He rode on, at last he could see the dark outline of the trees along the bank of the river. The great wave of fire was now close upon'him; he could feel the heat, and was almost choked by the smoke; Suddenly his horse, which had been ridden all day, fell to the ground, killed by the awful run he had made. Unloosening himself from the stirrups, the man struggled on through the smoke. The heat became intense; his clothes were burning and the smoke was so denSe that he could not see three feet ahead of him. He was now out of breath and felt that further struggle was useless. Just ashe was about to sink down exhausted, he felt soft mud under his feet and the next moment he was in the water and safe.
