f f r HE SWUNG IT LIKE desperation of a singular thing Lay ¬ ing down his burden he cleared his throat and his nostrils as best he coii Id turned face to the wind elevated his head and deliberately sniffed at the fly ¬ ing dust There was no result his heart sank Then the wind slowly veered a trifle to the south and he hoarsely shouted for joy The powerful odor of the sulphur spring was borne on the breeze they were saved One more hour of mighty struggling and he had reached the cape like projection of fertile land and had wet their mouth and faces with the pungent but wholesome water And Hardicut himself who had raced his team from the cabin to the spring and back again a dozen times came tear ¬ ing through the brush like a maniac to take them home The fearful ordeal was over at last The next morning the sick boy who was singularly improved though still a little delirious was carefully muffled and placed again in the buggy to be hurried away There is no reward too great for yon to ask and receive said the father to Leo as he left the cabin If there is anything in the world I thank you kindly said the dig ¬ nified young fellow but the Borrows boy would rather not accept a reward for a xlain duty The Borrows boys gasped the man as he drove away from the cabin where the sturdy brothers were stand ¬ ing Two days later Frank came in hastily exultant Leo he cried the injunc ¬ tion is dissolved the ditch is full ot water They are going to let us live lie Neednt Have AVorried Esmeralda he said hoarsely lam Avaiting for your answer Oli forgive me Tom I was think- -

THE TOWN OF HAY

The town of Hay is far awayThe town of Hay is far

Between its hills of green and grayIts winding meadows are

Within the quiet town of HayIs many a quiet glen

And there by many a shaded wayAre homes of quiet men

And there are many eyes alwayThat turn with longing night and dayBack to the town of Hay

Within that good old town of HayThere was no pride of birth

And no man there pursued his wayA stranger in the earth

And none were high and none were lowOf golden hair or gray

And each would grieve at others woeDown in the town of Hay

Aim many a tired soul to dayMid crowded thousands far away

fVeeps for the town of HayA road leads from the town of Hay

Forth to a world of dinAnd winds and wanders far away

And many walked thereinFor in the crowds of toil and stress

Their restless footsteps strayTheir souls bave lost the quietness

Of that old town of HayBut in some respite of the frayIn transient dreams they float awayBack to the town of Hay

Old men are in that town of HayAmid its quiet trees

Who dream of strong sons far awayUpon the stormy seas

Old mothers when the twilight dewThe woodbine leaves have pearled

Dream of their boys who wander throughThe wideness of the world

And tears fall in the twilight grayAnd prayers go up at close of dayIn that old town of Hay

A hillside in the town of HayIs slanting toward the sun

And gathered neath its headstones grayAre sleepers one by one

And there are tears in distant landsAnd grief too deep for tears

And farewells waved from phantom handsAcross the gulf of years

And when they place that headstonegrayIt crushes hearts so far awayFrom that oldxtown of Hay 4

A DUST BLIZZARD

BY PHILIP V MIGHELS

Copyright 1S97

As white as marble and as flat rs thetop of a table the great Hound rockdesert stretched away from the edg eof the thick growing sagebrush of Bar ¬

ren valley to the grayish mountainseast and north It was soft as carpetand as dreadful as poison for thewhite was that of alkali and it rosein a dust at the fall of a foot Tenmiles in width and 40 in length thiswretched spot lay naked of even theslightest sign of vegetation

A road that curved its narrow waythrough the sagebrush skirted the des-ert

¬

on the west By the side of thisstood a cabin back of which werefenced in closures traversed bv an irri- -gating dilch that wound its wav out ofa distant mountain ravine At thefront of the cabin stood a wateringtrough but both this and the irrigatingditch were dry and dusty A singularplace for a cabin and a ranch but Ma-

ture¬

contrives peculiar conditions inNevada one of which is the close asso-ciation

¬

of deep rich soil with desolatealkaline wastes

As the evening of a certain day inearly winter descended a man cameslowly down the held to the cabinThrowing aside his hal he slowly pre-pared

¬

a meal set the clumsy table fortwo and waited From time to timehe went to the window and searchedthe dimming foothills with anxiouseyes

The darkness came down the hourswent by the dinner grew cold Whennine oclock had come he went withoutto raise a long far reaching call AwayDff sounded an answering whoop Fif¬

teen minutes later appeared a brightfaced lioy built in the mold of an In¬

dian as spry of foot as a panther andas stout as a sapling oak The lightas it fell on his face whn the man hadDpened the door revealed a marked re ¬

semblance between tli two as indeedthere should have been for the pairwere brothers

Well Leo lad said the elder Ibegan to think you were out for thenight in the Big Flat timber

To tell the truth I nearly was theboy replied as he drew his chair to thetable 1 didnt know how late it wasind the darkness caught me just as 1

left the summitHowd you find your way You

L ouldnt go bv the stars on such a nightas this

No thats why I came so near tobeing lost for of course I couldnt seeanything when once T got in the treosRut there is always a wind comes upthrough the Dead Bear gorge that onecan smell rather a cold sort of a smell

You didnt walk along the edge of theorge exclaimd his brother

Oh no Im not so foolish I just gotmy bearings every time I smelt thatcolder air and further down I couldmell the tamaracks- theres only onemnch of them in the wind from thewest Then I struck the creek and nextur ditch and then I was all right

Smelled your way home hey 1guess youll do remarked the man re-garding

¬

him with affectionate eyesThen after a silence Well whats thenews

Bad Frank said Leo The lawyersays its almost hopeless to fight againsth nian so powerful lie says the com¬

pany has got an injunction against ourturning the water down in the ditchand intends to crush us down and outAnd while the lawyer hasnt a doubt ofxur right to the water we conid nomore light old Hardicut successfully incourt without a mint of money thanwe could stab the man in the moon withan umbrella

But he doesnt need all the waterhes never used the Summit creekprotested the brother

then he could never get back the claimOh groaned Frank to think of it

All our work on the ditch All thefields weve grubbed of brush Twopoor creatures trying to make a homeand a spot of green by the side of thisdesert and our ditch as dry as a boneat the end of the verj- - first season Itsmaddening

Without the water Leo repliedthe place isnt fit to live in The law-

yer¬

said wed picked out a piece ofground about as desperate as any onearth

So we have rejoined the brotherWe were never cowards And the

As this blizzard of dust was at itsheight a man came madly driving upthe road in a buggy behind which asaddle horse was being led by the bri-dle

Leo and Frank came forth as hestopped before the door

Where were you when your son waslost demanded Frank interrupting

On the other side at Three Pinespass where it opens on the desertwe

On theBidwell road said LeoYes oh yes but hurry gentlemen

for the sake of a father I beg ofyou

Who is with you Frank abruptlyinquired

My foreman hastily answered theman rubbing his dust reddened eyes

He told me that some one was living inthis horrible place my name is Hardi-cut

we were on our wayA gust of wind cut short his speech

and wrapped him about in a cloud ofalkali dust that for a moment shut himcompletely from view

Hardicut breathed Leo to hisbrother and weve got to help him

It wouldnt do for both to go Leorejoined in a hurried whisper and Iknow the desert best Good by oldman if we dont happen to to see eachother again

THE BOURBONJNWS FRIDAY MAY 7 1897

through the drifting stilling dust andwas gone

No sooner had he struck the dreadededge of the desert than a gruesoniethought arose in his mind The hungrycojates woukl be sure to find the boywho was lost

Now began a terriblp search wellnigh hopeless Getting his bearings bythe direction of the wind Leo firstpushed forward and then to right andleft across the gale listening ever fora sound to give him guidance Hiseyes were closed it would only havemade him suffer to hold them open andhis knowledge of where the wind wascoming from was a safer compass

An hour two hours he wandered toand fro His mouth began to dry hislips to crackle his hair and ears werefilled with the poisonous powder hisclothes were white and heavy with it

At last on the wings of the hurricanehis signal came a blood curdling com-

bination¬

of howling and diabolicallaughter prolonged and weird theoryof the coyote Then came the answerof another followed by a dismal duetthat sounded like the chorus of a dozenWith his hair bristling Leo strode onThe shifting of the wind for a time de-

ceived¬

him but suddenly through a

rift in the clouds of dust he caughtsight of the creatures There werefour or more gaunt bony hairlessforms with slraight up ears and grin ¬

ning faces for the Jkali kills theirhair and leaves their parched uncleanlyhides painfully bare and tightlystretched over skeletons ir eagerlyclothed with Jiesh

They were circling about a prostrateheap on the ground As Leo leaped intheir midst he struck one on the sideof the head with his fist so desperate ablow that it lay stunned Catching itup by the hind legs before it had timeto recover he swung it like a giantclub to beat back the others Hungryand savage but essentially cowardlythey stood their ground only for a mo-

ment¬

Leo was master of the fieldBut the worst was to come The lost

boy fallen on his face exhausted wasquite unconscious His eyes ran withtears from the biting dust his mouthvas open and was dry and hard Leocaught the frail form in his arms andheaded about in the teeth of the galeHe had scarcely gone 100 yards whena whirlwind swirled about them andleft the stout young fellow dazed anduncertain He thought the wind hadshifted if it had God help them

The fury of the storm had certainlyincreased it drove the choking alkalilike a blast of sand Laden as it wasLeo found it impossible to breathethrough his nose alone hence his mouthwas soon in a terrible state He fearedhe should perish in that awful atmos-phere

¬

To add to the terror of it ailhis feet now and then broke throughthe dampened crust and he flounderedheavily

Finally darkness began to descendIn this extremity he thought in his

HE SWUNG IT LIKE

desperation of a singular thing Lay ¬

ing down his burden he cleared histhroat and his nostrils as best he coii Idturned face to the wind elevated hishead and deliberately sniffed at the fly¬

ing dust There was no result hisheart sank Then the wind slowlyveered a trifle to the south and hehoarsely shouted for joy

The powerful odor of the sulphurspring was borne on the breeze theywere saved One more hour of mightystruggling and he had reached thecape like projection of fertile land andhad wet their mouth and faces withthe pungent but wholesome water AndHardicut himself who had raced histeam from the cabin to the spring andback again a dozen times came tear ¬

ing through the brush like a maniacto take them home The fearful ordealwas over at last

The next morning the sick boy whowas singularly improved though stilla little delirious was carefully muffledand placed again in the buggy to behurried away

There is no reward too great for yonto ask and receive said the father toLeo as he left the cabin If there isanything in the world

I thank you kindly said the dig¬

nified young fellow but the Borrowsboy would rather not accept a rewardfor a xlain duty

The Borrows boys gasped theman as he drove away from the cabinwhere the sturdy brothers were stand ¬
