LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS

"I was takin' leave of Nancy
Standin out there in the night"

"Then I dragged him on the prairie
Through a Turk's Head cactus bed"

"I am standing by her dug-out,
Open stands the sagging door"

"Bringing back a hat of water,
Through the dim light and the rain"

"Loaded up their prairie schooner,
And vamoosed the ranch, fore light"

"He was startled by a stranger's
Sudden presence and 'Hello!'"

"Faithful Simon, weak andstarving,
Groaned and fell beneath his pack"

"Resting calm in fancied safety
Sat the elder MacIntyre"

"Once again the twisted branches
Of the lone and friendly tree"

"Fiercer with each flying moment
Drove the scorching blasts of death"

"Standing there, a picturedgoddess
Sketched against a lowering storm"

"But, instead, I shot, to scare him,
All the buttons off his coat"
