P A U L V E N A R E Z heard them say, in the frontier town, that day,
That a band of K ed Plumed wamors was upon the trail of death ;
Heard them tell'' of murder done— three men killed at Rocky Run.
“ They're in danger up at Crawford's." said Yenarez, under breath.

In a green and pleasant valley of the mighty wilderness;
Ha if a score of homes was there, and in one a maiden fair
Held the heart of Paul Venarez— 11 Paul Venai'cz' little Bess.”

Of the nien he had seen n unde red yesterday, at Rocky Run,
“ Xol a soul will dream," he saidt "o f the danger that's ahead;
By my love for little JSes.sk:, T must see that something's done.'J
