fair, too, and he took It.
"And others came, brightly colored,
singing -pleasant songs till all; the
grains were finished, and the hunter
gathered all his birds : together and
built a strong Iron cage, called a new
creed, and put all his birds in it.
"Then the people came about, danc
ing and singing. , v
Oh, happy hnnterl they cried. Oh,
wonderful man! Oh. delightful birds!
Oh, lovely songs? -
"No one asked where the birds had
come; from nor how they had been
caught but they danced and sang be

glad, for he said:
'"Surely Truth is among them. In
. time she will molt her feathers, and I
hall see her snow white form."
But the time passed, and the people
mng and danced, but the hunter's
heart grew heavy.' He crept alone, as
of old, , to" weep. The terrible desire
had awakened again in his breast One
ilay. as he sat alone weeping, it chanc
ed that Wisdom met him. He told the
old man what be had done. 4 - '
'And Wisdom smiled sadly.
"'Many men.' he" said, 'have spread
that net for Truth, but they have never
found her. On the grains of credulity
she will cot feed; In the net of wishes
her feet cannot be heio; la the air of
these valleys she will not breathe. The
birds you have caught are of the brood
. of Lies- lovely and beautiful, but. still
lies. Truth knows them not.
"And the hunter cried out In bitter
ness: " . . ".
"'And must I, then, sit still, to be
devoured of , this great burning?
"And the old man said:
"''Listen, and in that you have suf

you what I know. He who sets put tc

"He wandered on and a. said the
stranger, "and the shade grew deeper.
He was 'on. the borders '"now of the land
where It Is always night Then be
stepped Into it and there, was. no light
there. With his hands he groped, but
each branch as. he touched it broke
oft; and the earth was covered with
cinders. At every step; bis foot sank
In, and a fine cloud of impalpable ash

dark. So he sat down 1 upon a stone
and buried his face in his hands to wait
In that Land of Negation and Denial
till the light came.
."And It was night In his heart also, -"Then
from the marshes to his right
and left cold, mists arose and closed
about him. A fine, imperceptible rain
fell In the dark, and grat drops gath
ered on his hair and clothes. His; heart
beat slowly." and a 'numbness' crept
through, all, his ' limbs. Then,' looking
up. two merry whisp lights came danc
ing. He lifted his head to look , at
them. - Nearer, nearer ; tbey came, so
warm, so bright, they danced like stars

cried. 'Our father's name is Human

stretched out bis hands to take them.
"Then in a., moment there arose be

and . ouhi not listen, and - when be
looked up again they were two twin

"AH who leave the valley of supersti
tion pass through that dark land, but
, aome go through It in a few days, some
linger there for months, some. Tor
years, and some die there'
The boy had crept closer. His hot
breath almost touched the stranger's
hand. A mystic woader filled his eyes.
"At last for the hunter a; faint, light
played along the, horizon, and he rose
to follow It and, he reached that light
at last and stepped Into the broad sun
shine. :, Then before hira rose the al
mighty mountains of Dry Facts and
Realities. The clear sunshine played
on them, and tha tops were lost In the
clouds. At the foot many paths; ran
up. An exultant cry burst from the

at most, and then the topi Not on

would gather all that other men bad
fownd, weave; the. net capture Truth,
hold her fast touch her with bis bands,
clasp her! . f
"He laughed In the merry sunshine
and sang loud. Victory was very near.'
Nevertheless, after awhile the path
grew steeper. Be needed all his breath
for climbing, - and , the singing died
away. On the right and left rose huge
rocks, devoid of Lichen or moss, and in
the lavalike ; earth chasms yawned.
Her and there he saw a sheen of white
bones. Now, too. the path began to
grow less and less marked. Then It
became a mere trace with a footmark
here and there; then It coased altogeth

a path for himself until he reached; a
mighty wall of rock, smooth and with
out break, stretching as far as the! eye
could see.' 'I will rear a statr agaJost

there this great work ended!
"At laat he came out upon the top.
and be looked about him. Par below
rolled the white mist oyer the valleys
of Superstition, and above him tower
ed the mountains, . They had seemed
low before, TUsgr were of an im meas
urable height aowk, from crown to foun
dation surronnded by walla of: rock
that rose tier above tier in mighty cir
cles. Upon them played tbe eternal
sunshine. ' He uttered a wild cry. 7 He
bowed hi mself on. to ' the", earthy and
when he roae his face was white. In
absolute silence he walked on. He
was ''Very silent now. ":l In those high re
gions the rarefied air is hard to breathe
by those born in the valleys. Every
breath, he drew "hurt v him; and the
blood oozed out from the tips of his
fingers. Before the next wall of rock
he began to werk. The height of this
seemed infinite. f and 1 he ; said; nothing.
The sound of his tool rang night and
day, upon the iron rocks into which he
cut steps. Years passed over him, yet
he worked on, but the wall, towered up
always above him to heaven. Some
times he prayed that a little moss or
lichen might spring up on those bare
walls, to be a companion to him, but it
never came." ' ' ' '
The stranger watched the boy's face.
"And the years rolled on. He count
ed them by the steps: be had cut--, few
for a year, ; only a few ' He sang no
more. He said no more. 'I will do this
or that; he only worked And at nizht
when, the twilight settled down there
looked ont at him from the holes and
crevices in . the. rocks many strange
wild faces.
'Stop 'your work, you lonely, man,
and speak to us,' they1 cried. .
"'My salvation is In work. If I
should stop but for one moment, you
would creep down ; upon, me,' he re
plied. And they put out their long
necks farther. ' ! -
Look down Into the crevice atyoiir
feet ; they said, 'See what lie' there

man . as you climbed to- these rocks.
And he tooked upl ;JIe saw there was,
no use la, strivmg.': ; He Would never
hold 'Truthv n?veri see her, never find,
her. So he lay down here, for he was
very tlredi He went .to sleep forever.
He put himself; to sleep, 't Sleep. Is very;
tranquil. You are not . lonely ; when
you are asleep, neither do your hands
ache nor your heart; : And the hunter
laughed between his teeth.
VHave 1 torn from my heart all that
was dearest?" Have I wandered alone
in the. land of night? r Have 1! resisted
temptation? Have; 1 dwelt where the
voice, of my kind is never heard, and
labored1 alone to lie. down and be food
for you, ye harpies?
'He laughed fiercely and the echoes
of despair slunk away, for the laugh.
of a brave, strong heart Is a death
blow to them. .
"Nevevhele88 they crept out again
and looked at him. ,
, 'Do yotf know that your hair is
white,' they, said, that your hands
begin to tremble like a child's? Do
you see that the point of your shuttle
Is gone? It Is cracked already. If you
should ever climb this stair," they said,
it will be your last. You will, never
climb another.'
"And he answered, '1 know it!' and
worked on.
"The old, thin bands cut the stones
ill and Jaggedly for; the fingers were
stlT y and bent The beauty and the
strength of the man were gone."
At last an old. wlseaedV shrunken
face looked out above, the rocks It
saw? the eternal mountain rise with
walls to the whlte'clouds. but its work
was done. 5 - : .
"The old hunter folded his tired
bands and lay down, by the precipice
where he bad worked away his life.
It was the sleeping time at. last;; Be
low b!m over the valleys rolled the
thick white mist Once It broke, and
through the gap the dying, eyes looked
down on the-r trees and fields of their
childhoods ? IProru afar seemed borne
to him the cry of . his own wild birds,
and he heard the noise of the people
singing as tbey danced and.he thought
he heard among them the voices of his

sunlight shine on. his early home, and
great 'tears gathered in the hunter's

Then slowly, from the white sky
above, through the still air, came
something falling, falling, falling.

He leaned almost gently toward the
boy. "Skill may come in time, but you
will have to work hard. The love of
beauty and the desire for it must be
born In a man. The skill to reproduce
it he must make. He must work

Xebruska State Fairs Imp re ved Breeds
sv. Benefit to Farmers Exporting Horses
at Advanced Prices.
A permanent and very important Jjft,
Paul institution is , Frank lams' estab
lishment of imported draft and coach
horses. During the nearly twenty years
that Mr.Iams has been engaged in trans
planting the best Eur spean horse blood
to this country, ho' has won in wide cir
cles a name as the progressive horseman
of the Trans-Mississippi country.
A visit to Mr. lams' barn is of inter
est and benefit to all striving for the im
provement of the western horse. There
are at present about forty head of full-
bloods, ranging in age from two to seven
years, and rangingin weight from 1,600
to 2,500 pounds. v rThey are mostly black
and the breeds " representing Black
Percherona, French Draft, Clydes, Shires
and Coachers. Among the lot is found
the largest aged stallion,' the largest
mare and the largest three year-old, stal
lion (a Black Percheron, weight 2,250
pounds) in Nebraska and Iowa, : " ,
lams has altoeether imnorted nearly
200 horp.es. They were personally select
ed by himself. , He has bought the best
money could buy, and all his horses are
desteendenta of the best strains. Hi
horses are winners of first prizes, at fho
Omaha exposition in . 1898, ad at the
Illinois, Iowa, St Louis and, Nebraska i
state fairs. His stallions are being sold
all over, the west, shipments having been
maae to uoioraao, JNew Mexico,; lows,
Illinois, Dakota. Kansas, and Nebraska.
The introduction of noble strains of
blood has proved its ' profitable results
throughout this western country. The top
market prices are bems? captured by the
colts from lams stal " s During 1899
lams ; bought " and fc-bipped twelve car
lo'ads of horses from St. Paul, and twelve
cars from other points, paying therefore
an average price of nearly WJQ, per head,
It is interesting1; to know that among
the horse's shipped by lams from this
country was the gelding which in 1893
brought the :( best price in the- city, of
Chicae o, and the highest priced green
pacer, t-pld in Chicago was aKso. raised in
Howard county and shipped by lams, "
From the foregoing it will be seen that
the work being? done by Mr.Iams for
the horse- raising industry is valuable
and far reaching, and farmers and breed
ers will be' benefitted by keeping in
touch therewith.
