( Stray Leaves Irom Summer. It was evening when we came to an eminence and stopped. A glorl-1 ous scene lay before us. The undu lating hills swept far away to the southwest to the valley of the Weep ing Water and faded to the mystical blue of an Indian summer. One broad expanse of green fields of corn stretched out as far as the eye could see, dotted here and there with yel low fields of ripening groin Islands of gold In an emerald sea. All was still. From out this panorama there was no rustling of blades of corn, no waving grain; even the ever restless leaf of the cotton wood at the road side was still. From somewhere out f the beautiful picture painted by the summer sun there came the low mu sical hur.i of the thresher In a cadence enchanting; and from somewhere came the faint chattering of the har- vlester in sollllquy at Its work and the far off low of a cow In the pasture anxious for the milking hour. Mountain-like thunder heads loom ed up out of the dense blue haze at the south snow capped tops sil vered by the slanting rays of the set ting sun, showing here and there deep rifts and cool cosy recesses. Something In the blue of the In dian summer brings one back to the prairie primeval, to the deer and the byson, perhaps hard chased by the dusky huntsman. Where are they? Gone never to return. On these hills the last wars of the tribes have been fought. The last terrible prairie fire with its red flameaind pall of smoke has left Its black path from the Platte across the hills to the valley of the babbling Nehawka. Aroused by a breeze on the cheek, we beard the faint rustling of a corn blade and saw In a'wheat field a tiny wave scurrying across the heads of the ripening grain to the crest of a hillock and was lost from tight be yond. A field hawk from a stark of grain soars majestically over his do main In search of one more morsel ere he folds his wlnge In night's re pose. The beautiful colors of sunset fade away. Dusk with dew approaches. We must return from the land we Kdenlze, reflecting on the immin ence of Providence Giver of all that s good and beautiful of complaining man fearful lest rain and sunshine be meted out not to suit his whining whimsical notion. Returning we came to the gurgling brook, the firefly In the tall weeds, the frog on the bank croaking to the tree toad In the willows, the cricket's raspy tone day closed and nature's nocturne has begun.
