THE OLD-FASHIONED HOUSE.
Of all the tender and comfortable things
That nowand then sweet memory brings,
There's nolhlni: dearer that love recalls
Thau the old-fashloncil house with its white
washed walls.
Not a mansion to-day, (hough a marvel of art,
Can ever usurp Its place In my heart,
For there my earliest prayers were said,
And I slept at night In a truudlo bed.
Neath coverlids reaching from feet to chin
Hv a mother's hand tucked gently lu,
And a Rood-night kiss on my tired brow
Oh; earth holds do such blessings now!
A garden was fragrant In flowerbeds
Where marigolds lifted their velvet heads,
And warmed by sunshine, refreshed by dew
The bachelor-button and toucltmo-not grew.
In a river, that curved like a shepherd's
crook
Wo fished for minnows with bent pln-liook.
Or with llltle bare feet oft waded through,
Aud bravely "paddled our own canoe."
'Twas a home of welcome no one could
doubt.
Whose latch string hung Invitingly out,
And maty a stranger supped at Its board
While blazing logs In the chimney roared.
O this Is an age of reform and change!
And things aesthetic, modern and strange
Improvements that savor of silver and gold
Are superseding tho cherished nnd old.
But I turn from palaces built for show
With tnansai d roofs nnd stories below
Of frescoed, knlsomtucd, dadoed halls,
To tho old-fashlone'd house with Its white
washed walls.
BYER'S FOLLY,
"What did ye say yer name wa'?"
We stood outside tho wire fence,
Georglc and I, and looked at the old
man who leaned on his plow surveying
us, while tho two shaggy horses attached
to it languidly hung their heads as if in
tending a furtivo nap.
"I'm Charlinc Boyd; this is Georglc,
my little brother. We've come all tho
way from Kansas City. We're your own
grandchildren. Mother's dead. Father
sent us here; bo's gono to Arizona-to
work in a piine."
Ho looked dazed.
"Clarlssy dead, 'n' you her children?
al, it do beat all I An' you slch a big
gal, an' him her llvln plctur, an' I not
knowin' she wa' gone. Come In, dears;
the gate's beyant,but ye kin crawl under
the wires. There! Now lemme look at
yer. Laws, child ! don't try to kiss me;
my face ain't none to clean."
He was aplcasaut-faced.blue-eycd old
man, with long, curling whito hair. Ills
teeth wcrcgonc.butotherwiscbo seemed
unlike old men, for he wa3 straight and
tall, his arms brawny and strong. His
clothing was neat, but ncglccted-look-Ing,
the buttons hanging, with little
tears widening into largo rents. I was
only fourteen, but mother had taught
mo to do a grown woman's work; beside,
Georgie was five, and such a baby made
me feel older.
"Where's grandma?" I asked.
For auswer he pointed his thumb at a
mound away at tho end of the level
field, where a rude wooden cross was
planted.
"She's thar. Sho went a year ago.
I've lived alone sence, an' It's tho bless
In of Providence you children Is come.
Oftentimes I've feared I might grow
desprat outer sheer loncsomcncss'n' sor
rer. Maybo you didn't know't, but
Clafrlssy 'n' mother quarrelled in years
gone, 'n' nevcrgotlren'ly, wicb was be
cause yer ma married yerpa,wich seemed
to mo a good man 'nuffr but wimmen is
queer, 'n' mother looked high for CJar
rissy." "I'm so hungry!" cried poor little
Georgie, his lips quivering and his round
eyes filling with tears.
"Bless his little heart!" said grand-
lather, recovering himself and patting
my check softly. "Hero you be, jest off
a long journey, 'n' me a-kecpln' yer in
tho cold, an' meandcrin' on as if that
wa'n't no to-day, but all yesterdays.
How did yer come?" he asked, unhar
nessing the horses.
"By rail to D ; then a gentleman
gave us a ride here in bis fine carriage.
We came In the train with his daughter,
Miss Bessie Little. He owns a big ranch
near here."
"A lino young lady," broko lu grand'
father. "She was like a darter to yer
granma, an' though sho lived miles long time; I feared he might be dead.eo
away, she was over night an' day, a-gal-, I rapped on the door. He opened It; he
loping 'cross the plains on a black horse was dressed in his worn black broad
as is a thoroughbred, an' a fine spccl- cloth suit, with his old-fashioned high
men of horseflesh as is seen In these
parts. She kin ride, too, 'n' aln' a
feared o' nothln'. Mothcrset a sight by
he''"
We were now at the house, a neat lit-
tlo ono-story cottage, containing four
rooms. A comfortable barn and yard
for the cattle was near, and a well close
by the door. The was a eoiy kitchen,
jitUns-room, and two bei rooms, coo
the 'sparo room," grandfather said
pru-udly. It looked neat and precise,
but was as cold and damp as tho tomb.
The lonely old man had faithfully swept
and dusted, and kept everything whero
his wife had placed, cvpn her work bas
ket, with a needle sticking in the half
finished gingham sleeve.

fjfhc had placed them, and cook the s!m
Rile meals and these w.ere very simple,
for grandfather was poor. Two old
horses, two cows and a calf comprised
tho stock.
"I don't hcv no luckwl poultry,
Chailcy," 1iq said. Ho called me Char-
ley, for Charlinc was too "new fanglcd,"
kind Charley was' the namo of his dead
son. "Mother used to raise a sight, but
artcrshc went they begun dyln', and
what didn't. die was cat by cayotes."
Tho last day of my first week on the
ranch Miss Bessie Little rode up to the
cabin on her coal-black lprse. She was
a sweet-faced girl, blue-eyod and yellow-
haired and rode beautifully. She made
herself at home, petted Georgie, aud I,
shy as I was, found myself confiding to
her all my troubles and hopes. She sym
pathized with me and helpod mc.cuttlng
a frock for Ucorgie and a basque for me,
and when she rode off, she promised to
como often.
The next day a wagon camo from her
homc,anl In It was a fine rooster and six
hens, and a big bundle of clothing that
she had outgrown and that fitted me.
How dreary the howls of tho cayotes
were at night, especially when one of
their number was killed! The would
seem to unite in a chorus of maledic
tions.
, Miss Bessie rode up one day, and at
her heels was an overgrown shepherd
puppy, with big paws and jolly little
black eyes.
"Here's a cayotc cxtcrmlnator.Grand
father Byers," she said, as she jumped
from the saddle, and the black horse fell
eagerly to eating the short, crisp buffalo
urass, just as though he was not stuffed
at home.
She imitated the cayote'a cry; the dog
bristled, his eyes shot fire, ho looked In
all points of tho compass, and then, with
a fierce howl, tore madly around the
house.
ThroughMlssBessie's kindness I found
a ready market for my eggs and chick
cns.and for tho butter I learned tomakc;
and sho showed mo how to "lay butter
down" for winter use.
Though sho never had to work, sho
knew every task in a farmer's wife's ex
istence; and. perhaps it was best, for
there was a young man living near her
father's ranch, who himself owned a big
ranch, and who took tea every Sunday
afternoon with her father, and went to
church down in tho village every Sunday
evening with her.
About two miles from our ranch were
three low hills, or mounds. Behind one,
In a sort of valley, hedged in by tho
hills and facing the plains, was a well
ninety feet deep, called, I regret to say,
"Bycr's folly." Poor grandfather had
had the well dug, hoping to obtain the
water to Irrigate his land. He could
not sec ahead to the time when a com
pany of capitalists would Intersect the
region with Irrigating ditches, and each
man's land could be benefited by paying
a small annual water-tax.
Grandfather's money gave out before
the well was finlshcd,and tho widc,deep,
black hole, carelessly crossed by rotten
boards, and a big pilo of earth, was all
that was left of his labor and his fortune.
Not only was his money sunk in the
hole, but also large sums borrowed from
Mr. Little, who I knew, had forgiven it,
and five hundred dollars borrowed from
a Mr. Davlcson.of D , and to tnis man
our ranch was mortgaged.
Grandfather grew gloomy and sad as
spring came on. Ho brightened up a
little when I showed him my account
book, Miss Bessie showed me how to
keep It, and I proved to him how
much money I had made with the hens
and the butter; but he slchcd a moment
after.
"Ef I hadn't a' done that, how com-
fcrablc we'd a' been. You're sich a
smart girl, a son more'n a gal, Charley
But Davlesou's a hard man; dunno as
tcr-raorrcr'll find us with a roof to cover
us, and 'tis a fine property too, now the
irrigating ditch crosses it."
IIo seemed to takclittlelntcrestin the
farm work1, ne would harness the horse,
plow a few furrows and then 6tand in a
helpless attitude, looking toward D .
Ho would wander down to "the road to
ask passers If they had a letter for him,
and then would sit outside, the kitchen
door, his face bidden in his hands.
Georgie, playing near by, would try to
comfort him in his loving baby way.
One day, however, a man came up on
horseback. He tossed mc a letter I've
j hated yellow envelopes ever since for
grandpa, who was down tho field with
his team ;it was such a sunny March day,
it gave him new life for his work.
I could not bear to take it, so I put
Ueorglc's sunbonnet on him, and pinned
the letter to his frock, and with a big
cookie in bis hand, scut him down to
'dampa.'
They came back later, hand In htnd,
the same old horses following. Grand
father hurried past mo Into bis chamber,
and shut the door. His face was ash-
coiorea, nis eyes Dioousnot. t waited a
collar. I remembered then It was the
first lime I had over seen him wear a
, white shirL Ho held an old beaver hat
j In his band, and was absently brushing
the nap with his sleeve,
"It's come, dear. That! I'm going

old man. I never felt it before."
lie staggered out to tho barn. I fol
lowed him.
!I mayn't bo back for two days or so.
Will you be afecrcd?"
"No," I said, but I was. I helped him
into the wagon. He seemed dazed and
half-blinded by his misfortune. Oh, If I
could help him 1 I did the work faithful
ly when he was gone, driving the cows
and milking thcm,und taking care of the
house and Georgie and the poultry.
The next day a band of Indians ten
or twelve rode up to tho cabin. I was
frightened, but met them as coolly as if
I had plenty to protect me. Georgie, in
wild alarm, hid under the bed. The
Indians seemed kind, and only wanted a
drluk of milk. There were four squaw3
among them, with kind, bright oven;
one gave me a necklace of beads as they
rode off.
Shortly afterward Mr. Little and Tom
Gray rode up in haste,thelr horsea white
with foam.
"Besslel" shouted Mr. Little, as he
came up over the hill. ."Is she here?
Have you seen her?"
"Not for a week," I said. "Has any
thing happened?"
"She went to ride yesterday afternoon,
and hasn't returned yct,nor has shebeen
seen. We hoped sho was here."
"She hasn't been."
Theylookod white and scared. Mr.
Little seemed to have aged in a night.
"There was a band of Indians here,"
Bald Gray; "they may have taken her.
I told them of tho Indians visit, and
thought it improbable, as they seemed
so kindly disposed; but they rode off
following the trail.
That night was more dreadful than
the first, and tho dog seemed frenzied
over the cayotes, who yelled till morn
lug, and I cried myself Into hysterics
and frightened poor Uttlo Georgie, who
sat up in bed and screamed the "klyos
were eating his dirl." He always called
Miss Bessie his 'dirl.'
The next morning a number of people
camo up; they were hunting for Bessie.
Tho whole neighborhood was searched.
I could not leave home, but Georgie
and I walked over the ranch, looking In
every hole, and wistfully across the
plains. Our dog, Sinarty, ran after us,
and a silly old turkey-gobbler, my pet
and the pride of my poultry-yardjolned
in the procession. Smarty chased hlni,
and Gobble flew over the wire-fence and
rushed down the hill, through a, valley,
across tho road, and I saw the two,mcru
specks, tearing up the hill near the
well.
"ile'll kill Gobble!" I shouted.sclzlng
Georgia's -hand,--and wn rushed- after
them, Georgie crying at the top of his
lungs and being winded at every step.
At last I took him on my back, and fin
ished tho race with a heavy burden.
At the foot of the hill was the well,
and there Gobble stood, scolding and
shaking Ills red neck, while Smarty
seemed to have forgotten his very ex
istence, but was running aiound the
well, uttering short, quick barks.
The planks around and over the well
were gone, and the earth about It was
plowed as if thirc had been a struggle.
I dropped fieorgie's hand and rushed
down. I pushed Smarty away, and
looked down. It wasdark.but I lauded
I saw something white away down. Just
then a faint voice from the depths of the
earth shouted:
"Help! helpl"
"I'm Charline Boyd. Who's here?
Shout again !"
"Bessie Little. My horse fell; he's
dead, away down. I'm clinging to a
plank in the side. I can't hold on much
longer. My arms aro breaking!"
What could I do?
"Bessie," I shouted, "hold on a little
while; I'm going for help!"
"I've been unconscious. I'm faint. I
shall die. Don't leave me. The dirt
falling brought me life."
"I'll leave Georgie here. Here,
Georgie, your dirl Is in that hole; sit
there and talk to her. Don't cry."
Georgic's lip trembled, but he minded
bravely, pleading the dog should stay,
but I was afraid to trust him. "Gobble
lay wlf Dorglc," he said, piteously; but
that sagacious bird was already winging
and hopping his way homeward. 1 left
Bessie answering Georgle's sacred
"Halloo!"
If she could keep conscious till I got
back! How I thanked grandpa for his
careful habits. I knew just where the
new clothes-line was, the crowbar and
the hatchet. We were eight miles from
any ranch, and I must act as If there was
no one In the world to help her.
now I got back I never knew, I saw
Georglelromthetopof the hill. He had
crawled to the edge of the well.and was
singing a little baby-song I had taught
him. His cheeks were red and feverish
and his voice hoarse.
'Bessie!'1 I shouted.
"All right, Georgie kept me from
fainting. I made him sing."
"DItdlrl out! dlt dirl out!" Georgie
screamed.cllnglng to my skirts. I pushed
him away; there was no time to pet or
comfort him.
"Hun to the road, Georglc, that way;
now halloo (or help. Yes,tako the dog.
Tell everybody your dirl is la Byers
well."
I knew his white, tear-tvet face would
bring the most unbelieving stranger.and
I watched his chubby form, la the bright
plild dress, and the pinting dog diap
pcar over the hill. All the while I was
digging a deep bole with the hatchet,
and scooping the earth out wlthiny
hands, and shouting every few moments"
to Bessie. I buried tho crowbar half
way, then I tried my weight; it did not
move. I had teen men wind lines irouud
a post to raise heavy objects.
"Put this noose around your nalst!"
I shouted. 1
"I dare not," she answen-d f i.ntly.
"You couldn't help me. oh, jv ir,
help?" '
"Youmust. The end's fast to a crow
bar. 1 can't find anybody. They're all
hunting for you."
"I can'tl" sho cried, piteously.
"Then I'll leave you!" I shouted.
"It's getting late; it's your laat
chance !"
There was a ghastly stillness for a few'
momontn. I wound the line nroutid the
bar aud nround my waist.
"Look out I" she screamed. I heard
the beam go rattling down, nnd a fear
ful strain tightened tho cord, I thought
it would cut me In two. For a moment
I thought I was going over. Ilnpplly,
the ridge of earth wus a protection. The
ropo loosened.
"Haul easy!" shecrled, "Icnncatoh
my feet In the sides; the earth Is soft."
I wound the rope around the bar and
myself. I was In a perfect snarl.
Suddenly tho ropa grew loose, there
was no weight. Was she lost? Ever-,
thing grew black, aud I knew nothing.
When I came to, there were two men
bending over nle, trying to force brandy
ln my niouth.
"Where's Bessie?" God bo thanked
sho answered me herself! She had
climbv'd up tho last few yards by tho
broken timbers. Tho earth was torn up
around me, my hands were raw Rtid
bleeding, and I bear the marks of the
ropo on my body to this day.
Just then we heard a shouting, nnd
Mr. Little and Mr. Gray rode up,and the
latter wasn't ashamed to kiss Bessie just
as her father did, and before all tho
people.
Georgia was up In the lap of Mr. Lit
tle, and Smarty lay down at my feet,
worn out. A party of the searchers met
the poor baby and dog, and caught at
the fearful meaning In the baby's Inco
herent words, dashed up to the well.and
found us both on the brink.
They could not bellove It was I who
had rescued her till they saw my hands
and the ropo and tho crowbar still firm
in the earth.
Grandpa was there,and kissed me and
cried over me, as If I too had been down
the well.
Miss Besslo had lost her way in the
dark after a long ride across the plains,
and her horse had stumbled oyer the
planks and fallen through and broken
his spine. Miss Bessie's habit had
caught on a projecting beam, and she
clung there two nights and nearly two
days. Yet with all the horrors of her
sltuatlon.she was only fifteen feet down.
When Mr. Little learned that our
ranch was mortgaged, he went to Mr.
Davicson, paid the money, and gave the
farm back to grandfather. Homademe
a present of a sum of money, and Mr.
Gray gave Georgie a like present.
-In thn two.years alncc that time, onrj
ranch has come to be one of the most
prosperous In the country. We have a
fine herd of cattle, and an immense
poultry-yard, and grandfather hires a
man to help him, while I have a Swede
girl to work in the house.
Miss Bessie Is Mts. Gray now,and still
my best friend. She never rides alone,
and is less daring than she used to be.
I am happy to bay no one ever re
proached grandfather for his careless
ness lu leaving tho well so poorly pro
tected. He suffered enough for it, and
it Is filled in now.
Though Mrs. Gray never says any
thing, yet I think she often mourns fcr
the noble black horse, who, with shoes
on, saddle and bridle, found a burial on
the plains the plains where he had so
often roamed with his fearless young
mistress under the blue Colorado skies,
in tho shadow of the Rockies.
