TRE BAYS GRAVE.

traveller safe, speedy and comfortable
transit to the topmost pinnacle Of the
most celebrated mountain in North
America The Manitou and Pixies Peak
railroad is constructed on the Abt sys-
tenn, the same being used on Mount
Rigi, Switzerland, and Mount Wash
ington, in New Hampshire The track
is of standard gauge, with a roadbed
Of from 5 to % feet in width The
locomotives are fitted with the cog
wheels which fit into corresponding
teeth Of the rack rails, and thus absolute
safety is secured
It is not within the scope of this brief
letter to attempt any description Of tina
glories Of the superb panorama unfolded
before the tourist as he journeys toward
the heights. There is nothing in Swift
zerland to compare with it The Rigi
lacks 1000 feet of being as high as
Pixies peak, and surely rhe valleys,
gOrges, canyons, mesas, passes. streams
and waterfalls Of the Rockies are as
grand as those Of the Alps. At every
foot Of the delightful journey you thank
God for having made mountains, and
all you can say when you reach the
summit and stand enraptured at the
view is, GLORY. halleluiahl"
The marvellous cloud effects, the mi
the valleys, the distant ranges of noun
tains, the awful chasm at your feet,
form an ensemble Of form and color
which cannot be surpassed in any coun-
try on the globe.
There is a United States signal sta
ton on the peak, whence monthly re-
ports are mailed to Washington "A
curious fact, by the way. is that they
have never been able to determine the
exact location Of this mountain There
are three men on duty who remain three
weeks They then 60 down in the val
ley to be relieved by three others. Their
pay is 500 a month In winter they
walk up and down.
The fakir is not wanted on the peak
The first signal service man on the noun
tain was a wag Of no mean reputation.
With prophetic eye he glanced down
the centuries and beheld the great
American public climbing the noun
tain and just hungering to be humbug
ged So Mr.. John o Keefe made ready
the supply to meet this demand
The lonely grave on the peak is shown
you where Erin O'Keefe, the infant
daughter of John and Nora O'Keefe,
lies waiting the final trump. And after
you have stood mournfully by its side,
pondered on the sad fate Of the dear lit
tie DaOy VINO lies there IN Its last dream
less sleep and have shed a tear or two
over the lonely grave somebody who
knows a thing or two comes along and
laughs at you and tells you you are
weeping and signing over a likely little
jackass which is buried there. And
then you are moved to wish there was
lonely grave for another.
But, all the glorious mountain, lift
ing its kingly head toward heaveni /

Mecca of the pioneer and the forty

All the clouds in the Colorado sky seem

fierce tempests.
The first attempt to scale Pike peak
was made by Major Zebulon Pike late
in the fall Of 1906 With a small party
he made superhuman efforts to climb
the ''Great Snow mountain. = After
many miles Of most difficult climbing
delayed by bitter winds and fast falling
snow. they reached the summit of Chey-
enne mountain, but farther than that
they could not penetrate.
Forty years later George f. Ruxton,
an Englishman, camPed on the noun

until driven away by a band Of hostile
Indians. As travel turned westward
there came the demand for a way to
reach the summit Of the mountain, and
to meet that demand early in the ffties

by hardy aud venturesome travellers, it
