thing to do was to put up in this place
for the night. Drane fell into the line,
and after march across some fields, he
entered the tramp's hotel with the mot
ley crew.
Counting those already in it, who
were aroused by the entrance OF his
party, there were nearly dozen in all.
Through a great hole high up in tho
wall the moonlight streamed, and in
the circle thus marked out the strange
company sat down and prepared to ex-
change some friendly gossip before go

II take il you're new to tho profess

Ance Drane had made in tie freight
yard. What's your name?"
Drane told him.
DO you spell it just like any other
drain?" called out one Of the men.
There was some good-natured laugh
ter at this, and then one of them asked
Drane where he came from. He en-
deavored to sketch briefly and ac-
cu<ately the events which had led him
to his present situation. He thought Ii
might interest them. 1t did. They re-

to terrapin, had ever tasted so good to
him as that soup.
''If ! ever meet hungry beggar

begun to take effect, ''Ill treat him to
ten-course dinner"
The world took on different aspect
as ne ate. He felt sure that every thing
would come out right His acquaint-
ance at Murray street would gladly help
him out Of his predicament, and he
could laugh at his strange experience.

fir, trees that would cut $4,000 or 90
600 feet each; such monarchs of the
forest as one does not often meet with.
At daylight the next morning we
were up and onward, crossing the
river on log jam, and then for two
or three hours walking in the virgin
forests with nothing to bar our pro-
gress except IN occasional wlndfall.
About noon this lovely valley was left
behind-for lovely it must be when
grim winter has loosened its hold-and
climbing up over the mountain and
descending the other side, we came to
another and still larger fork. set in a
canyon of black, forbidden rocks,
much resembling the others that we
had passed before.
There was nothing for it but a des-
cent, which Was easily made-at times
much too easily-and then came the
tug of war For two continuous hours
we climbed that cliff, helping one an
other along, and lifting up Tige, the
canine member of the party, he find
ing it absolutely impossible to follow
us. We were forced to bear on a
small huckleberry bush or a branch
of the yew tree, while every few mo-
ments some boulder, dislodged by our
own exertions, thundered down the
mountain side and plunged into the
cataract beneath. We found no signs
of life of any description, even the
small gnats and mosquitoes seeming to
have deserted this barren region. AT
last the tupOf the canyon was reached,
and, after Il long rest, we once more
held on our way, our direction being
southeast. With the Black canyon
we left all trouble behind, tile remain
der Of the journey being comparative
Nv easy, and camp No. 2 was reached
about 6 P. NJ on the 9th, where very
welcome supper greeted us.
The only game we saw on the whole
trip was one blue grouse, whose head
the colonel knocked off with bullet
from bis Winchester, although we
passed elk and deer signs in plenty.
The highest point reached was some
2cO0 feet above the sea and the dis
lance travelled over only some twelve
or fifteen miles, but the difficulties to
be encountered may be imagined in
that the very inhabitants of the river
valley supposed that the Grand can
yon was the small fork explored last
summer and as fara can be found on,
the regions above described are 'abso-
