called Joebradley.
Then said they unto him: Behold, @,

Then spake unto them J~oebradley,

with the H~ilarityites. And he spake
thus out of his great wisdom and the
good people of the city listened: BE

soula. which is builded by the river and
which is the home of Tylarthompson.
Hearken We unto the words that I

And the first of the message signifies
that there will be good cheer, even of
the fat of the land, of wine and honey
and maple syrup. of fish of the streams
and of birds OF the air and of the fruits
of the land and of hot cakes. And the
second part is like unto the first, for IL
bids you come and partake of this good
cheer, even of the good things that are
provided for them that are bid. Hear

of Fish creek
And OF the people of the city who
heard him. there was but one that went
out of the city with ~.Joebradley. even
with the pathfinder. And that one was
glad. There was woe and lamentation
among the people OF the city that did

by Joe Bradley, even of Missuula. And
they wore sackcloth and ashes, for they
were sore.
Then went forth Joebradley and the
Pilgrim with joy In their hearts. For
they were glad. And they rode upon the
train of fire and OF iron. even upon the
train OF Billhouston on the Snake. And
they Were sped upon their way. for il
was the day of the royal campfire.
And IL came to pass as they jourueyed,
even upon the train of Billhouston, that
they came even unto Fish creek and TO
the mouth thereof. And they looked
and We're glad. For, hehold. was not
there jerome, even he that the Hilar-
ityites called the whisperer? And he
greeted them according to the fashion
OF his people, even of the Hilarityites.
And the greeting was as of one friend
to another.
Then said Jerome unto the travellers,

for thee" And they went forth, even
up To the old Moose creek trail, and
they came To tho hill that is above the
dwelling place of the Hilarityites.
And they were sore and distressed at
heart. For the way was long and the
u was of great heat. And they muir

thereof"
And. 10, IL was as he had said. For, as
they journey thither. they found much
rest and ii was the rest Of the cooling
shade and OF the clear waters. And
there was great comfort and IL was the
comfort of the ginfizz with ice therein
and the deep comfort Of Pahst And
they rejoiced and We're of good cheer.

they who dwell In the city that is build
