I couldn't, neither could he. He just looked at me and turned away. He wants me to meet him in New York after he finishes his tour and go to England with him. I'm afraid to tackle it. Here we could make a go of it but his friends in England would never accept me. I haven't enough education and they'd make fun of my manners. It would make it too hard for him."

I stopped reading and asked Kate if that was the real reason Vince did-

n't go.

"No. He would have gone but something awful happened," she said, sadness in her voice. "Vince was the best. built, handsomest young man I ever saw. He made me think of a sensitive stallion. He was too sensitive. A month after Oscar left he got badly hurt in a cave-in. He nearly died of blood poisoning. The doctor, that's what he called himself, did a messy job sewing up his leg that had been ripped open. It left an awful scar. Vince was ashamed of it. He never wanted anyone to see it. I should say anyone but the range boy. He was waiting at the mine when they brought Vince out. His name was Shogun. He always looked at Vince like he wanted

to be his friend. He made them carry Vince to his cabin. It was a good one the president of the railroad gave him. If it hadn't been for Shogun, Vince never would have pulled through. For months he was too feverish to write so I answered Oscar's letters. He sent several from every city where he lectured. I told him what had happened and about the scar on Vince's leg. He wrote that it made no difference, he wanted him to come anyway. But Vince didn't leave Shogun. After he got well he panned enough gold so he didn't have to mine anymore. He and Shogun lived together 22 years. I never saw two happier people. One day Shogun was out deer hunting and a rattler bit him. He was dead when Vince finally found him. It nearly killed him. He didn't waste any time. getting out of Leadville. Oscar stopped writing when that court mess in England started. The rest you know." Kate stood up and brushed off pine needles that had caught on her black wool dress, then she took a tourquoise and silver bracelet from the cedar box and handed it to me. "This is the only thing Vince had of Shogun's. His dad was a Ute. It meant a lot to Vince and I know he wanted you to have it."
