And thua It happenod that an. hour later i found me riding over tbo brood prairie that j- lay on one side of the beautiful lake noar ? which my sister dwelt I The lake, as I have said, was a beautiful j thing lo look upon ; its shores were bold » and abrupt, in some placM rooky, and more ( 8 like a precipice than the banks of a peace- j fal sheet of water: on the aide opposite the |
