Imagine, if you please, the forest primeval; ves, the murmuring pines and the hemlocks of the poem as well, by the side of a rapidly ru 1 moun- tain torrent fed by the eternal snows of the lofty peaks of the 1t range. A level streteh of d wh & mountain brook the creek was dotted with of pines and great boulders rol down from the everlasting hil ar re of open clearing. On the opposite side of the brook the canon wall rose almost sheer for perhaps five hundred feet, ending in jagged, needle-edged pin- macles of rock, sharp, picturesque and dbeautiful. the timber line, and four thousand feet above that the crest of the great- | est peak in the main range The white tents of the little encamp- ment which had gleamed so brightly in the clear air and radiant sunshine of Colorado, now stood dim and ghost- like in the red reflection of & huge campfire. It was the evening of the first day in the wilderness For two d 1ce leaving the wagon, the Mas d party with fts long train of burros h packed, {ts horsem y plodders explored pats of ought along e ey l“umaflows &y El‘suor{h“voun Vil Co | {ng well, A thousand feet above ran | w.

Philips, who was an old acquaint- | &nce of Enid’s, had tried his luck with [ her back east and had sense enough to accept as final his failure. Brad- shaw was & solemn young man with- out that keen sense of humor which was characteristic of the west. The Arth Philips, each a devotion, dshaw and Henry others were suitably dressed for ad- venture, for Bradshaw's idea of an ap- propriate costume was distinguished by chiefly which s long felt puttees > calves and and sed denizens green rit id | LIRS et with Mait- shipped their handsome l’hiladelphlafpm“e' WA B an’' 1 that-a-way in “I didn't begin answered BPr what I did i tlon.

There was a freedom and easiness of intercourse in the camp, which was natural enough. Cook, teamster, driver, host, guest, men, women, children, and I had al- | most said burros, stood on the same level. They all ate and lived together. | i O ¢ you !

It was very pleasant lounging around the camp fire and one good story easily led to another. “It was in these very mountains” sald Robert Maitland, at last, when his turn came, “that there happened one of the strangest and most terrible ad- ventures that [ ever heard of.
