FROM FOOT TO ELBOW.

The hills rose before us, small
and mean it seemed, and near
the top was Devils Elbow.
We wondered why people
thought it so hard to climb
from foot to elbow. The elbow
stuck out of the hill in irregular
lines, and inside was cave
made almost entirely of beauti-
full yellow sand. We thought
we could reach the elbow in
about fifteen minutes, but when
we started it was a different
matter. By clutching at
bushes and trees and generally
sliding back again, we
reached Devils Elbow. My,
what a climb it had been from
the foot to the elbow!
But once there we were re-
warded. The cave looked
gloomy inside, SO we did not
venture in. But outside the
sand was a golden yellow; ini-
tials were carved on the bank
and we added our own to
the numerous ones there.
Then we stood on the summit of
the elbow and looked down on
the country. It looked just
like a plate with hills all
around for the rim and the
valley for the plate. We saw
the beautiful Lake Wenonah
with the bridge across it; then
came the city, the buildings
clustered together in the center
and Stra ceiling at the ends Sill
