First Sentence: |
Our story opens on a beautiful October morning, when the rays of the rising New Mexico sun were glinting down through the valleys and mountain sides of that picturesque land, sifting like a golden shower through the luxuriant foliage of palm and pecan, and penetrating even to the dark hidden depths of the impenetrable chaparral. (The Golden Weekly edition) |
Last Sentence: |
But even to this day, Will Wright retains his love for an exciting ride on the rails, and oftentimes when the spirit so moves him, leaps aboard of some locomotive, and takes a hundred mile run, proving that his hand upon the throttle is as steady-to-day, and his skill as great as upon that thrilling occasion when his bravery won the cognomen of Air Line Well.
