He is but a young man of twenty-two, a wandering cowpuncher, rancher and
miner, nobody, nothing, but eyes light up when he walks in, the heart feels
lighter. He smiles like a beam of sun, but it is not that. The curious,
honoring, improvident eyes shine with good intent, but it is not that. What,
then? Why is one man loved and another scorned? For what he gives or withholds?
What he thinks or thinks not? Is it not rather "the harmony within"
that steadies like the sight of the Pole Star?
