The Lake. Coming from all, that is supernatural supernat-ural and weird, the geysers, the blow holes and the boiling spring, you ox-pect ox-pect to find something ecn more miraculous in the shape of a lake you breath a sigh of relief tho Yellowstone Yel-lowstone lake is a natural reality, a beautiful mountain lako, rivaling Ta-hoe Ta-hoe and even Geneva. That evening there wr$ a full moon. I saw the lake In its most enchanting mood. The dark peaceful water. Fair Luna sending a quhering path of gold across It, that rcacheod the topmost pinnacle of the snow crested mountains moun-tains making them glisten, coldlv The groat expanse was wrapped in shining light save for one dark blot the island isl-and Tho llttl black Island with Its fringed outline of pines stood out. In curious contrast with the lake, so peaceful, so radiant Thoro you could imagine blowholes and low rumblings from the Infernal regions, uproar and turmoil Whilo in tho deep silence of the night, the rest seemed to radiate from the lake, calmly cold and beautifully brilliant under the moon's white rays THODA STANCL1FFE COCKROFT. oo |
