Edith and Lois laughed too, and took
the pennies and thanked Uncle Ben. Then
they started across the fields to Aunt

Dewitt Clinton was the first city In the
east to extend the right OF equal suffrage

owning quite as many farms as the bows

alive to the privileges and duties OF citi-

right that the vote of the new municipality
should be without sex limitations. and that
the Offices should be equally divided be-
tween the boys and girls. All laws per-
tanning to the government OF the little
community are made by the mayor, city
council and borough presidents, at gravely
decorous meetings which are held on the
first Tuesday OF every month, and which
are largely and Enthusiastically attended.

 It was this trail that Alvarado de termined to ascend. The difficulties in his way even under the most favor able circumstances might well have ap- palled the stoutest hearted mountain. eer. In the darkness they would be in- creased a thousandfold.
 Along the base of the mountain the trail was not difficult. although it was pitch dark under the trees which, ex- cept where the mighty cliffs rose sheer in the air like huge buttresses of the range. covered the mountains for the whole expanse of their great altitude. Alvarado made his way upward with out trouble or accident at first. and he made good progress for several hours tn spite of darkness.
 It had been long past midnight when he started, and it was not until day break that he passed above the famil- far and not untrodden way and en- tered upon the most perilous part of his journey. The gray dawn revealed to him the appalling dangers he must face.
 Sometimes clinging with iron grasp to pinnacles of rock he swung himself slong the side of some terrific preci- pice, where the slightest misstep meant a rush into eternity upon the rocks thousand feet below. Sometimes he had to spring far across great gorges in the mountains that had once been bridged by mighty trunks of trees. long since moIdered away. Sometimes there was nothing for him to do but to scramble down the steep sides of some dark canyon and force himself through cold torrentiaI mountain streams that almost swept him from his feet Again his path lay over cliffs green with moes and wet with spray. which afforded most precsrious support to his grasp Ing hands or slipping feet Sometimes be had to force q way through thick tropic undergrowth that tore his cloth ing into rags
