One night, a year ago, after an ab
sence of twenty years, I was In Jor
dan Valley once more. Aa night
came on I aauntored all alone thru
the town. I wanted to be alone. I
wutitnd to aee the changea that had
taken place 1 wanted to look up
old landmarks My thoughts MM
of the past and with the past. Things
looked so different. Many of the
old landmarks were gone. New
things had taken their places. I
listened for familiar voices but they
were hushed, some forever. A lorie
aomeness crept over me; I fell like n
stranger In a strange land If I hud
only heard the crack of a six bImhiIit,
or the yell of a cowboy, I would have
cried for Joy; hut all was still, not a
sound was heard In my wanderings
I landed behind the big hotel barn I
was Inspecting all that remained of
J It llaxter's old pioneer home, the
old stone chicken house While I
was standing there In reverie there
pealed forth the sound of a piano
The sound came from the direction
of the Jordan Vallev hotel. The sound
aroused me. "A dance!" I said.
"Wonder who N playing? Wonder
who Is there? I believe Pan 'miners,
Jonnv (iniii..i, tleorge Speed. Tom
Mci'aln. tie Mills family and all the
I of tin- families and all the old
cow-punchers must be there. I'll go
over and aee and surprise them "
I went slowly over toward the ho
tel. The piano still clunked away It
was a funny tune I never heard It
before In Jordan valley The Mel
came by jerks, a few bars and than a
reat, another wild start, another jerk,
another raat. "What's the matter
th the player?" 1 thought What
I he trying to play? Where did I
ever hear such music before?" It
came to me Ilka a flaah, "I know
where I heard It In Chicago, on
Stale street."
New li.ni..- Make Hit.
1 remembered shipping horses to
Chicago for the Jordan valley stock
nteu. I remember sauntering down
State street one night and there I
heard that kiud of music. It was
ragtime. I entered and there aaw
"l.lttle Kgypt" dancing the llootchce
t'ootchee. Hut I am here In good,
old Jordan valley, why have ragtime?
1 quietly approached the window and
looked Into the ball-room. There
was a lot of young boys and girls
crowding around the plauo player
They all seemed to have lots to aay
to the musician. Every now and
then he would throw a fit and there
would peal forth a few bars of rag
iIiiih His music came by starts,
Jerks and fits. All of a sudden there
was a scattering from that piano. It
looked like a mustang hud Jumped in
the center of that assemblage and
was dealing solar plexls blows in all
directions. I was wrong again. The
pianist had humped his back and was
clawing the keys for all he was worth.
The dance had started in earnest.
Every young man grabbed a partner
"Grabbed" is the right word Every
young man threw a kink in his back;
gave his shoulders another hitch and
humped his back like a broncho
about to buck. Then the couples
began to sway their bodies The
young men put more humps in their
backs; now It seemed they were try
ing to unscrew themselves at the
waist. I looked, I watched, I listen
ed. "That must be a prelude to the
hootchie-cootchle?" I said to myself.
"How did tliiH dunce come here? Who
are those dancers? I must be dream
ing. No, I am not I left Jordan val
ley twenty-two years ago, then the
wild and wooly west, now I come
back and it is civilized New people,
new thouQghts, new ways."
Country Gone to "Hell."
All I aaw there, recalled to me an
Incident of earlier days on Carter
creek. Jeff Carter had gone over to
Succor creek to visit the Oates ranch.
In the evening I was sitting alone In
front of his cabin awaiting hla return,
I happened to look In the direction of
the Gates ranch and hare came old
Jeff on the dead Jump, only hitting
the high spots. His sombrero push
ed back In the front, his long, while
mustache fluttering In the hreaie. I
wondered what waa up Could It he
the Indians were after him again?
At last he brought up his horse In
front of me on a great slide, ami he
fore he dismounted, he said: "Hill,
this country Is going to hell, there
Is a preacher over at the Gates
ranch!"
Well, dear reader, I did not think
that way when I saw the new styles
In dancing; but, as I peeped thru
that window, a change cum' over
my vision. Just as you aee the change,
the fading away of one picture and
the appearunce of another at a pic
ture show. The picture before me
faded away and once more I saw the
Jordan Valley ball room of yore. I
could see the brilliantly lighted hall.
I in u 1.1 see ull the faces of the first
married ladles of the valley; I could
see once more the happy, smiling
faces of the young girls of Hint time;
I could again see Nick Maher, John
('miners, Jim McMahou, Charley
Orel, Tom McCain and doxena of
others I can not remember. I could
again see the faces of the old or er
chestra: Mra. Whalen. Hen Boyer,
I.011I" Schuabel and myself. Again I
could see the four crowded and all
squared off for the quadrille and
again I could see Dan Conners ralae
hla hand as signal to me and call
eut: "Hill! l.ei'.-i buck!" And
again I could hear Dan call "Honor
to yer partners!" I looked for the
Virginia reel, the mlnuette, the lan
cers, but In vain.
I awoke, my dream had ended, th
past Is the past and the present la
here now There la not much of the
past left but memories. Hut, dear
reader, those memories I will always
cherish. They will never fade nor
die while I live. It brings back mem
ories of good, true women and men,
people I loved better than anything
else on earth. Kather would I alt
down near some corral In Jordan
valley or on the range and whittle
and talk to some old pioneer than to
be the greatest king that ever lived,
for In the old days every man was a
king of all he surveyed.

time dunce calls. They may be of

Some of the cowboys are very bright
ind original In their dance calls, ex
temporizing the rhymes and Jingles
aa the dance progressed. It Is, per
haps, the infectious spirit of genuine,
hearty enjoyment which gives these
dances their Indisputable charm.
