Where the eagle builds liis nest. On the highest, of those ledges. There a hero lies at rest. JLong ago, when all the Indians Roamed the country by their will, Knew the plains and all the prairies. Sought the buffalo to kill. 3 rt. was then an Indian runner Saved his people — saved their lives — By his bold and daring courage Lost his own life in the strife. 1 ’Twas a dark and inurkey evening. When the Indian runner spied, Far away, yet coming nearer. The fiercest of opposing tribes. 5 Would he, could he, save his people From this swift, approaching fate? Even then as they drew closer He was off — was he too late? (i Up the mountain-side lie scrambled, Up through jagged cliffs of rock; Torn and bleeding, tired and panting. Exhausted, yet he did not stop. Slower grew Ids steps and slower. As he toiled on. breathing hard. Dragged himself o'er treacherous ledges, Could he make these last few yards? 8 He reached a ledge that stood the tallest, Lit a torch and held it high. Now that he had warned his people. He was well content to die. 9 But he slipped against the rock wall. Torch still glowing in his hand; Now a huge and ancient boulder Makes a lone mound in the sand. 10 When the people of that village Sawr that fiery gleam of light, Knew that danger was upon them. Knew that they must flee or fight. 11 Quickly then they seized their weapons, And by then cunning and their might, Slew and battled off their enemy. Was victorious in the fight. 12 Many years ago this happened. Scores of times has it been told, Just a story of daring courage. Never new, yet never old. I Nineteen Hundred Twenty-six
