into view the other morning to grace

rose it was noticed that majestic
| Longs peak was marked with a cross
as perfect as though chiseled by a
mighty hand.
Thousands of people sought points
of vantage from which they could

rugged face of Longs peak, one OF
the perfect mountains OF the range,

two miles long and two thirds of
mile wide, as Longs peak is nearly
