| trains carried the party up the noun
| tains, but only one train was used or
| the return. The young ladies wishing
to get as much as possible from theil
visitand supposing a second train woulc
return, permitted the entire outfit tt
leave, and they found their mistake a.
a late hour. Not desiring to spend the
| night on the mountain, they found a
| trail which led them down, and in the
darkness they groped their way over
| rocks, through brush, sllirtng giddy
chasms and dangerous pitfalls until at
o'clock, weary. footsore and wiser, they
reached Echo Mountain house, two and
a half miles below.
