We would walk down the street ft little
farther aadABethertfrieid (generally of
the family) would stop ub.
"So you're goin' to the mountains?'
"J think kj."
-Got a job out there?"
"Nothing in particular."
"Just goin' for fun?"
"Yes.''
"Gracious, how can you afford it these
times? 'Pears to me you'd be stayin'
home helpin your father in the store,
'stead of trapsin' out there."
Will and Jim stood it until Thursday
and then in desperation left me to suffer
alone. Will went to Lincoln and Jim to
Crete. Where they said they would
-visit until I came along. I had to re
main at home for the pastes. ''
Saturday came, and Sunday and Mon
day, and still no passes. Then I wrote
to mylrailroad friend about it.
I was still harassed by friendly quee-'
itoners. But now it was a different talk
I had'to' manufacture.
"Why, "Mart, you here?" they would
say. "Thought you were in Denver.
Haven't seen Jim and Will around.
Ain't you going?"
"Oh, yet," I would reply, convincingly,
"only, you see, I've got some collections
to make and this little trip gives me a
hance to gather them in. Will' "at
Lincoln and Jim's at Crete. They're
waiting for me to come along and then
well make time."
It was not exactly a lie and it satisfied
their curiosity for a time.
In a day or two I received letters from
the fellows asking what was detaining
me. I told them to keep cool as I would
be along in a day or two. And then I
began to stay around home more. I was
not anxious to meet my friends.
J couldn't avoid them all, however,
especially the old ladies of the neighbor
hood, who alwayB did take a lively in--terest
to me and my affairs.
"Seems to me you'll never take that
trip," they would say. "Are the boys
still waiting for you?"
"No," I would reply, smoothly, "they 're
gone on ahead. Tou see, I'm detained
by some business. So I told them to go
on and I'd join them in Denver."
That was a little bigger and wrung my
conscience somewhat. But I was get
tiag as hardened as a tax collector.
All this time I kept my younger
brother on the run to the poslofflce. He
happened to know.what was the matter
and thought it his brotherly duty to
clear things up for an inquisitive public.
It took what little money I had collected
te keep him suppressed.
Oa Saturday, just a week later than
we had intended to start, the suspense
ended. My brother brought me three
letters. Will wrote from Lincoln that if
I didn't "get a curve on me" he'd have
to come home dead broke. Jim said be
was getting tired of' waiting and if I oid
not show up by Sunday noon he woald
aet out alone.
The third letter was the paraiizer. It
was from my friend in the employ of the
railroad company. He wrote that the
yarn coald not be procured that
"three brothers of his" was too big a
dodce to work on the unsuspecting corporation.
That Bight after dark I slipped over to
the telegraph office and wired the boys
as follow:
"Passes N. G. Take late train home.
Another plan.''
Then I went back to the hoase,
worked like a trooper and met the boys
at the train with a covered wagon and
oatfit
No, we did not make the trip over
land. We simply went tea miles up the
Platte sad forded to an island. There
we camped two weeks, fishing and swim

Attheeadof the Uaie we drove the
ftesafBome at sight. Then we walked
to a little town a few miles up the rail
road and came in on the train early the
next morning.
And no tourists ever told bigger
stories of the mountains or had more
experiences to relate than we three,
even it we didn't have a single specimen
to show for the trip.
