THE EVENING STORY One of World-Famou William Brown of Oregon. BY JOAQUIN MILLER. . whose. real . bl Mels ettt ol merican poet and dramatist, suthor of "gongs of the Sierras. ~Songs of the Sun- Danites in the Sierras,” etc.) 'y ed him Bill, the hired man, ‘but_she, her name was Mary Jane, the squire’s daughter; and to reign the belle from Ber-she-be to Dan her little game.’ How lovers rash got mittens at the spelling schonl! How many a mute, in«| glorlous fool wrote rhymes, and sighed, and dyed—mustache! This hired man had loved her long, had loved her best and first and last; her very garments, as she passed, for him had symphony and song. So when, one day, with flirt and frown, she called him “Bill,” he raised his heart; h caught her eve, and faltering sa love you, and my name is Brown. She falrly waltzed with rage; she wept; you would have thought the house on fire, She told her sire, the Pportly squire, then smelt her smelling galts and slept. Poor William did what could be done; he swung a pistol on each hip, he gathered up a great ox- ‘whip Agfl drove right for the setting sun. He crossed the big backbone of earth: he saw the snowy mountains rolled like ' billows; saw the gold of great big sun- sets; felt the birth of sudden dawn upon the plain; and every night did William Brown eat pork and beans, and then le down and dream sweet dreams of Mary Jane. Her lovers passed. Wolves hunt in packs the sought-for bigger game; somehow they seemed to see about her brow the forky sign of turkey tracks. The teeter-board of life goes up, the teeter-board of life -goes down; the sweetest face must learn to frown; the biggest dog has been a pup. Oh, maidens! Pluck not at the alr; the sweetest flowers I have found grow rather close unto the ground, and high- est places are most bare. Why, you had better win the grace of one poor cussea Af-ri-can, than win the eyes of every man in love alone with his own face. At last she nursed her true desire. Bhe sighed, she wept for Willlam Brown. She watched the splendid sun go down like some great sailing ship on fire, then rose and checked her trunks right on, and in the cars she lunched and lunched, and -had her ticket punchea and punched, until she came to Oregon. She reached the llmit of the lines; she wore blue specs upon her nose, wore rather short and manly clothes, and so set out to reach the mines. Her right hand held. a Testament, her pocket held a parasol, and, thus equip- ‘ped, right on she went, went waterproor and waterfall. s Works of Literature She saw a miner gazing down, slow stirring something with a spoon. “Oh, tell me true, and tell me soon, 3 | what has become of Willlam Brown?

At last, upon & hill alone she came, and there she sat her down; for on that hus there stood a stone, andlo! that stone read: “Willlam Brown.” “Oh Willlam Brown! Oh, William Brown! And here you rest at last,” she said. “With this lone stone above your head, and 40 miles from any town! 1 will glmc cypress trees, I will, and I will build a fence around, and I wiu fertilize the ground with tears enough to turn a mill.” She went and got a hired man, she THE EVENING him build as she should plan. But cruel cowboys with their bands they saw, and hurriedly they ran and told a beardea cattleman somebody builded on his lands. He took his ‘rifle from the rack, he girt himself in battie pelt, he stuck two pistols in his belt and, mounting on his horse’s back, he plunged ahead. But when they showed a woman Yair, about his eyes he pulled his hat, and he like- wise Fluned at his beard, and chewed and chewed. At last he got him down, and spake: “Oh, lady, dear, what do you here?” “I build a tomb unto my dear; I plant sweet flowers for his sake.” ‘The bearded man threw his two hanas above his head, then brought them down, and cried. “Oh, T am Willlam Brown, and this the corner stone of my lands!” ‘The preacher rode a spotted mare; he galloped 40 miles or more; he swore he never had before seen bride or bride- groom half so fair.
