They set out IN the early summer on

cles they intend writing on their re-
turn. but mostly to satisfy a longing
for adventure and for close association
with people outside their own COM

In the woody West They were provid-
ed with kodak and succeeded in
taking some valuable pictures.
They travelled with very little bag
gage Carrying ON an average fifteen

little food, depending on buying that
MS they went along. They had along in
the way of weapons ten pound Win
chester rifle and this they used on
various occasions to supply themselves
with game. They also carried fishing
tackle and had good luck In this line
of sport. Their expenses have not been
high. they consider. having averaged

q very enjoyable time and would not
cell their experience for any price.

In Wyoming Mr.. BALI had an attack
| of mountain fever and was laid VI
at ranch for three weeks. He fully
| recovered from the effects Of this anc
now appears TO be in perfect health

struck n stone and broke off the cranl
of his right pedal, He was compelled
| 10 travel 200 miles using only one ioot
| and not until ogden was reached coult
| inc wheel be repaired. Their wheels
| which are OF the Cleveland make, hav'
| stood the rough work very well, how
| ever, and are good for the rest of tn
| journey.
The travellers say they had a GOO
deal of experience in Wyoming. Fo
! twenty-four hours at one time the
| were on the top OF n mountain withou
| anything to eat, and when at lengt
| we're given ranch dinner the
| thought It was the best food they eve
| tasted. They found the ranchers mos
hospltable, and never had TO pay 70
n meal or for lodging among them,
The eight days spent in the Par
enabled them TO go through II thor
oughly, and they were more tina
pleased with its wonders.
