(Continued from first page.' tauce when we meet the pack train returning from the mines and have to turn out of the trail and let them pass. As the darkness deepens along the trail we cheer onr drooping spirits by discussing the possibilities of meeting bears in the loneliest part of the wood. ' We soon find our hats burden some and leave them hanging on a tree till our return. When we reached a point opposite the Narrows and left the trail, ive began to realize what mountaineer ing in the dark really means. There were ferns as high as our heads to go through, logs to climb over and huge boulders which had to be surmounted before we finally reached an area of solid r- ck extend ing to the brink of the precipice which rises perpendicular from the river to a height of five hundred feet on either side of the gorge. The moon had not yet risen and we went back a little way from the river and building a fire waited for the moon to rise. As it began to rise over the Semilunar mountains, its silvery light revealed to us the rugged out lines of Mt. Helene, to tee west of us,which has an elevation of G300 ft. It is bare and bleak, with pre cipitous rocks here and there on every side. As the moon rose high enough so that it could peep down into the gorge at the rushing waters beneath, we sat down on the rocky ledge drinking in the wild beauty and grandeur of the scene and listening to nature’s beautiful an thems. Just beyond those mountains which we can see off in the north east are the gold mines, and across the river are the Semilunar and Elk horn mountaius and back of us are Mt. Henline and Mt. Evans. At last we realize that we really must go home; but still we linger to gather some cones and lovely white flowers growing all about us. We found getting back to the trail, now that the moon had risen, a much easier matter than going over to the river had been. As we quietly retraced our steps, the holy calm of the scene and the deep silence of the place so crept E* E.

Insure your crops in the St. Paul Fire and Marine Insur ance Co. of St. Paul, Minn. over our hearts that we fairly trembled in delighted awe. In the shadiest glade of all, we stood for a time quiet and alone, hearing no sound but the cry ot a night bird. For the time being wre were as much away from the strife and discord of the world as though we had suddenly been removed to some distant region of the blest. On a rustic bridge over Henline creek, made by felling a tree across the creek, cutting off the upper side and putting a railing on one side, we paused again and wrote our initials and a quotation from “The Bridge” on the railing. It is a beautiful spot and the spell of the hour was upon us as the Baby sang that grand old song for us. We were tired and so were thank ful when wre got back to our team. My letter is growing too long and I must close. In my next letter I will tell you about our trip to House Mt. Rock. Yours eve%r, The Nebraska Girl. Phone A. T Conger. W 20, when in need of a drayman.
