SILHOUETTES .
BY MARTHA PIERCE.
In the Country.
Across the desolate, cold, prairie the
black train crawled toward the hill and
the open grave. The man who waited
did not talk much, As the procession
drew near they could Bee in the lead the
plodding grays whose forgotten youth
had spent itself in the Ionir, heavy fur
rows of the corn-field. These thrust
their patient shoulders against the col
lars for the hard, steady pull up the
steep slope to the grave-yard.
"Seems kind o' hard," said one of the
men gruffly.
''Tumble." assented the other.
"Ihem's her own horses. Many a time
the preacher's rode behind 'em b'fore
to-day. She gtn'lly took the ministers
home with her.
"She didn't hare so mighty much to
do with nuther."
"Never had nuthin', you might Bay,
'cept a willin' heart and an open hand.
Her boy's just like 'er, too."
"So? Well, here they be. Lend a
hand with the pall bearers, Jim. I'll
wait here."
The cold wind whistled down the
lopg aisles of the corn-fields and rustled
the dry husks. It swept across the
road and eddied about the white stones
which watched on the hill-top among
the long brown prairie grass.
Where tho hill sloped toward the
south, and the town, stood an unpainted
farm wagon. The horses tied to the
rear wheel munched at the prairie hay
in the wagon bed. The wind caught
wisps of it and blew ft, like gray smoke,
about the burying ground. Two men,
roughly dressed, stood by the new made
grave. They talked in low tones,
though there were none to hoar. Ex
cept the moaning of the wind there waj
no other sound. Par away across the
level, gray plain, under the gray Govern
ber sky, a slow, dark train crept toward
the hill and the open grave. Stray
flakes of snow fluttered down, wavered
into the darkness and were gone.
