Krag, the Kootenay Ram 



His amber eyes were gleaming bright as of old, 

 under cover of those wonderful horns; and 

 below him were some broken bones, with rags 

 and grizzled human hair. 



Old Scotty is forgotten, but the Ram's head 

 hangs enshrined on a palace wall to-day, a 

 treasure among kingly treasures; and men, 

 when they gaze on those marvellous horns, still 

 talk of the glorious Gunder Ram who grew them 

 far away on the heights of the Kootenay.
