Its members have been drawn together as a class. The adoption of a class motto is usually a merely conventional affair. With this class the case has been differ- ent. Its motto, “Each for all and all for each, was adopted because its members thought that This class has set a number of precedents which succeeding classes will do well to imitate ley Hotel. This event far surpassed any similar event of any former class; and thus far it has not been successfully imitated by any other class. Another distinguishing feature of this class is that when it starts out to do a thing it does it. The historian without being personal, desires to say that there is at least one class in the college which does not always carry out what it proposes to do. This history would not be complete without some mention of our class mother and sisters. The many acts and kindnesses of these young ladies have touched our hearts in such a way that we will always remember them with the most fraternal regard. To conclude, kind reader, it is the candid opinion of this most impartial historian that the class of 07 is the BEST of the many best classes of Austin College.— Historian Jluntnr JSnll atiii ©ffirrra Motto.

Then pushing back his great cowboy hat. he gazed thoughtfully across the vast expanse of desert which lay out before him. 1 It was evening. The blazing God of Day had sunk to rest behind the western horizon, and the glowing beams of sunset were fast giving place to the more sombre shades of twilight. Naught broke the monotony of the landscape, save the imposing bulk of some distant butte which stood out in dark, bold relief like a sullen silhouette pencilled against the evening sky. «I “Just listen at them coyotes, Ben! suddenly exclaimed the other. “Ain’t it enough to freeze the grease in a fellow’s timbers!” 1 Ben did not hear his comrade’s remark. He was sad and thoughtful. His dark expres- sive eyes were filled with that far away look as he gazed thoughtfully across the waste of sage- brush and cactus. Then suddenly he realized that he had been spoken to. CJ “Er-did you say something.

Others more daring had pushed farther and farther west until now they were right on the border of one of the largest reservations. 1 Among these adventurous spirits was the party with which Ben Mayfield and Bill Hart were connected, and in another party about a mile distant was an aged man, Mr. Peyton, and his daughter, Jessie. It was this fearless Daughter of Nature who had won Ben’s heart, and it was of her he thought as he sat in the sunset’s glow, gazing pensively out before him. She had promised to meet him at the accustomed spot where they would ride back together to the camp, and as he galloped homeward his heart gave a bound as he thought of her. CJ But as the shades of night began to thicken around him, he was seized with an uncanny feeling of dread, and he urged his pony to a faster gait. From every side there seemed to reach out the grasping fingers of phantom forms to clutch his bridle reins. At times he would ness ahead, he strove with all his might to catch sight of the familiar form. CJ Oh yes, there she was! What a fool he was to be such a coward !

CJ For the present Ben’s fears were forgotten, but before long that dread feeling of some- thing creeping up behind them came back to him. He would turn hurriedly around, being camp where the faithful watch-dog scampered out to meet them. Cl Ben had helped Jessie dismount, kissed her fondly, and was dashing off down the road at a brisk gallop, when he became conscious of some one calling from behind. Turning his horse about he galloped up to the camp again. Mr. Peyton was standing in the faint glow of the camp fire, his face a study of fear and anxiety. In a voice loud enough for Jessie to hear he said, “How’s the herd coming on by this time?” CJ Ben wondered not a little at this unimportant query.

Soon the great prairie schooners were loaded and they were ready to go. CJ Just then a clatter of hoofs was heard and a wild-eyed cowboy dashed up to the wagons. “Pott’s Canyon! Make for it! he breathlessly shouted. “The Indians! They’re coming!” So saying, he plunged off into the night to warn others of the approach of the blood-thirsty 1 Pott’s Canyon was fully ten miles away! No time was to be lost. The little party was home, the crack of the long whips sent the huge wagons bumping and lurching across the plains at breakneck speed. 1 It was fully three hours past midnight when the little band left camp, but by the first standstill on the brink of the precipice which overlooked Pott’s Canyon. Bill Hart jumped from one of the foremost wagons and with a party of companions, hurriedly set about to find a place to descend into the gorge below. At last they discovered an abandoned trail which ponderous wagons would become unmanageable and threatened to plunge headlong down the steep declivity. ]1 At last all were safe in the valley below. No time was wasted. Hastily forming a circle of the wagons, they collected their belongings within, and prepared to fight till the last. How they did long for the soldiers! But they knew that Ben had hardly arrived at the fort and it would require at least eight hours for the soldiers to reach them. €0 Just then they were startled by the piercing voice of the cowboy sentinel on the cliff ment, “They’re coming! The Indians! Be ready!” and set faces, prepared to meet the foe. They had not long to wait, for soon the whooping swarm of Apaches was seen descending into the gorge only a few hundred yards below. 122 they are within two hundred yards of the wagons! Now one hundred! Now seventy-five! Suddenly there rang out a volley of sharp rifle shots from among the wagons. Twenty led men are down, writhing in the agony of death while those from behind struggle over their dying bodies and press on toward the death-dealing foe. But fast as they advance they are mown down by the shots of those deadly riflemen. 1 Jessie, concealed by her father among the baggage of one of the wagons, peered anxiously breath fanning Jessie’s terrified face. Soon she regained confidence, but upon looking out again and seeing her father grappling hand to hand with a swarthy warrior, she could not suppress a frightened little cry. Alas for Jessie! The sharp ear of Pelajos caught the sound After some moments of brisk riding, Pelajos reined in his snow-white steed at the mouth soon receive re-inforcements, and it was with faces filled with silent terror that they awaited the events which time alone could reveal. On the cliff above was stationed a cowboy scout, straining his eyes—now toward the fort—now toward the Indians’ territory-hoping and fearing. J Suddenly his voice rang out across the valley. “The Indians! The Indians! he wildly 123 shouted. Then rushing down the cliff, he joined the circle of cowboys who knew they were facing death. Everything was quiet and orderly within the circle of wagons. Stamped upon the brow of everyone was the determination to fight to the last. 1 They had not long to wait, for at the next moment the valley below was fairly alive with painted warriors who swept up the valley whooping and yelling as only Apaches can. The their deadly work of slaughter, a shout was heard from above and a vision of the United coyotes from a coveted sheep-fold. Ben Mayfield was the first to reach the little band, and embraced his comrades with tears of joy. Arm in arm he hastened with Mr. Peyton to tell Jessie of the glorious victory, but their faces filled with a look of terrified surprise as they drew back the heavy folds of the wagon-sheet; for lo! she was not there! Soldiers were hastily called out and the valley was scoured, but still no trace of Jessie could be found. Late the next day, with heads bowed in silent grief, the wagons were tugged up the cliff preparatory to making for the fort. CJ Pelajos meanwhile kept his vigil over the silent form of Jessie Peyton. His fellows had lingered by her side within the silent valley. He was ever kind and attentive to Jessie’s every want, but the dainty food he brought was left untouched and the pale cheeks grew sad and wan. Pelajos realized that her heart was breaking, but he could not find it in him to give up the treasure which had cost the death of so many of his comrades. | On the day following, he saw the wagons of the white man being tugged up the steep trail. He saw two forms lingering upon the dizzy brink of the canyon gazing mournfully across the silent valley, and then saw the wagons move slowly across the plains toward the fort. jj Returning to his fair captive, he found her wailing and sobbing piteously. Gently bath- ing her fevered brow with clear, cool water from a mountain spring, she soon fell into a placed her tenderly on the back of the snow-white pony. The shades of twilight had already climbed till they reached the plain above. Turning the pony's head in the direction of the C| Late in the hours of early dawn the lights of the village appeared far in the dim distance. Gradually they became more distinct, and after a short time Pelajos was silently threading his way right into the midst of the white man’s habitation. But he never hesitated, till right under startled little cry and gazed confusedly around her. Gently caressing the delicate form which he must leave forever he was startled by a clatter of hoofs far up the village street. The soldiers were coming! Casting one last longing look at her, he threw himself astride the snow-white pony. A blood curdling whoop rent the air and Pelajos was swallowed up by the darkness. 125 ®ljf (glass mountain! The boy loved those tales and himself lived in an enchanted country real to him, though he realized in a dim sort of way that life was somewhat vastly different from the pictured doings of the invisible folk. But now life was the fairy story, and fairy Stories were real. Somewhere in the foreSt dark was the royal court of Elfland; and farther on, in the myStic EaSt were pened. Yet a little farther; in fact, beyond the utmost limits of the civilized world, (but what is distance to the wearer of the seven-league boots?) the Glass Mountain, guarded by genii and dragons, reared itself and defied the attempts of bold knights who dared ascend its Steep incline to rescue the sleeping Enchanted Princess. But mother, can’t I rescue the Enchanted Princess? Some day you may; but the Glass Mountain, is difficult to climb, and, 127 for that was evanescent, which would give him satisfaction of soul. He remembered his mother’s words. You, yourself, must find the secret. Of what use now were his riches? And, now that they were useless, struggle; he had played the game and lost. Again the thought of the Glass Mountain returned to him. This time however, it had a strange and beautiful meaning. For the first time he realized his mother’s meaning. He would set his face toward the East. Few men would have recognized in the poorly clad man, as he wandered from city to city, the Money-King of other days. People turned and stared at the stranger as he came back to his own city after a many day’s pilgrimage. Foot-sore, storm-beaten and weary, he turned aside from the crowded streets and sat him down despondent. No, he had not found him there was no Glass Mountain, and now he was ready to believe them. As he thought these dark thoughts he was aroused by shouts along A little girl, paralyzed with fear was directly in the way. He wondered why someone did not help the little one. He shouted to the child to move, but she was incapable of action. His heart went out to the poor little help- less thing. She must be saved. The old man, who had once been called the Iron-hearted, now saw the Glass Mountain plainly outlined before him. He knew now what kept the Enchanted Princess from him. The physician and nurse bent over the white, emaciated figure upon the cot and heard these words: Mother, is the Glass Mountain always in the East? Then a smile, a ChrisSt-like smile illumined the face of the aged man, and the two watchers knew that he had found the Princess. 129 (iur Arlista 11 inner nf the Jlrrlitninarg (Contest Auitm College in e St.te Coolest ,t 132 IflimirrB nf Dchatr O.
