OMAHA LETTER.
The S Ranch, Wyoming,
August 3, IDOL
Dear Eleanor:
i Did 1 write you last from the Antarc
tic circle, or was it from the tropics? I
do not, in fact, remember, only I know
it was not from here.
Can you imagine the entire Mayfair
family eagles and doves alike, perched
half way upon on a mountain Bide, with
a background of gloomy, time-saddened
pines, and not far to one side a rushing,
foaming mountain stream?
Of course you cannot. We are so in
separably connected in your mind with
brick and mortar that it will be difficult
to you to adjust your thoughts of us as
deserting our china' gods and flinging
ourselves at an undraped footstool,
where nature is at her beet or worst,
whichever way you have a mind to look
at it.
Yet here we are!
The days of Aladdin are not over,
although now we very properly call the
genii who own the lamp Influence.
A friend of Papa's who is spending
the summer in Europe offered us the
use of their cottage for as long as we
might wish it.
We went through awful travail of
spirit before the offer was accepted.
Mother piled objection upon objection,
all of which Papa swept aside with a
breezy sweepiness for which I had not
given him credit.
He was determined to forsake the
busy market place, and Mr. S had
made everything easy for us.
1 am sure most people thought we
were a vaudeville show on the way out,
as we attracted so much more attention
than we are used to.
Gertrude has a friend with her, a St.
Louis belle, who, when we asked her to
go with us, said there was scarcely
enough uncooked meat on her to be
worth saving.
But she came, and is a very bright,
pretty girt.
Phoebe wbb the homeliest thing in
bronze you ever laid your eyes on. She
journey he bad ever sawn.'' It was truly tied for life or balm, to these same dark
mysteries. I think of Louis Stevenson's
pitiful exile. Of Ilelen Hunt's yearning
spirit, burdened with the injustice of
men.
I wonder is life worth the awful strug
gle some have made to keep it or any
Forrow worth one's agony to forget.
If 1 bad some great, heart-rending
grief, I should not bring it here.
Here, in the awful vastnese, it would
surely rise and choke mo with its burn
ing Fingers.
No! I could surely forget it oasier in
some crowded haunt, where men cried
out because they hungered.
Yes, I could easier forget if I could
minister with bread to those who
starved.
How do I know? you would like to
ask. I, whose life has been so placid
I, who have known no storms or griefs.
"Ab, well-a-day; the hay must be
made." You cannot tell even you, who
see so well into the heart of things
you who know of the impalpable veil
the soul drops beforo its inner shrine,
and which no vandal hand dare thrust
aside to find what prints the nails have
left.
There is suddenly a pervasive odor of
frying bacon floating through the air
and fighting for supremacy with the
scent of caraway blossoms.
I do not mind. If I had bacon for
breakfast, I shall like some for luncheon.
Phoebe's polished face appears at the
front door, all doors are one to her now
and sho is calling with the easy famil
iarity of an old retainer
the most startling. I objected, and
Mother told me if I wanted to do the
cooking she would leave Phoebe at
home, but that Phoebe simply and flatly
refused to go without that cap. Phoebe
had never been west before and she was
either w an exalted 6tate of admiration
or a collapsed state of fear the whole
time. "Fer de law sakes, Miss Penelly,"
she would exclaim, "how long you sup
posen dnm rocks helt derselves up yan
der?" Or when e rounded 6ome sharp
curve and seemed suspended over a prec
ipice, she sank into great fear, rolling
her eyes and clasping her bands and
begging "de good Lawd not to take his
wrath outen poor ole Phoebe's skin."
However, nothing at all unusual hap
pened to us, and when we reached the
little town of B we were met by a
couple of wagonB and Mr. S 's man,
wbo wasto take us and nur rather for
midable luggage to our ultimate des
tination. This placo is not the ranch proper;
that is on the plains below us. Mr. S
built this cottage one summer when his
wife was in ill-health.
The little plateau, which is enclosed
by a white paling fence, is sown to tame
grass, and has a Hower-bordered gravel
path leading to the housn. If you turn
your eyes away from the mountains it
seems hard to believe this normal habi
tation is located in the very hoart of
Naturo's fastness.
Papa is like a boy let out for a holi
day, He has kicked the ehackles of
duty far from him, and a good ten years
have rolled from his dear burdened
shoulders.
Of course Mother and Phoebe find
things terribly inconvenient, and are
making such a pondemonium of the
house that Papa and I have escaped to
the yard.
Rob rounded the cornet a bit ago with
a Comanche yell, to tell me that "Jim"
was going to let him ride his buckskin
pony, and take him lishing, and, in
short, introduce him to a thousand and
one delightful mysteries. Jim is the
man Mr. S commissioned to look
after us. "A very superior fellow,"
Papa informs me. College bred, booky
and all that. Of course it is another
case of insufficient lungs that has ostra
cised this man from his fellow-beings.
This continuous, mournful whispering
of the pines, this never-ceaBing restleBs
