Morning dawned on a day so fair and cool that it seemed impossible that the day be- fore had been so disastrous. 1 Yet the charred ground was wet from the dew. In a quiet little valley the herd grazed peacefully. A foolish colt broke away and was sent back by the roan stud. He had taken over the mare's job. The day passed quietly. The herd was un-' concerned that the old mare to whom they owed their lives was at the bottom of the canyon. Robe rta Gilliam '5 4 Selection From Jimmieis Diary January 3. Skipped school.
