such thunder and lightning as we seldom have
in the East. and not infrequently by hail that
made the ground as white as a snowstorm in
winter, were sure TO make the campfire smoke,
at least Something waterproof was needed be-
tween the sleeper his bed of boughs and the
wide and starry sky" 1t is a popular falIacy
that flies accompany civilization, but the truth
is that they flourish far from the haunts of man
and are ready to swoop down by the millions on
the luckless camper who cooks in the open Let
Us not speak of mosquitoes.
In our establishment and despair the Prac-
teal Man and 1 took a horse and started on
tour of investigation, for a camp like house
hold cannot be properly organized without
woman's superintendent. We drove straight
away from the town, going uphill most of the
time until we came to a ranch that we had In
mind at the start After passing through gate
that marked the beginning of private property
fenced in with wire we drove several miles along
a winding road bordered on either side with tall
pines and scrub oaks. Here and there in the
clear spaces we saw brilliant patches of painters
brush. with now and then a spike of the grace
full yucca clothed with its waxlike bells from
top to bottom. AS the beauties of the SPOT I'M
folded themselves we said, Perfect Almost too
good to be true. If they will only agree to it.'
For fear OF disappointment we kept most of our
thoughts to ourselves.
At last we came to clearing where stood the
ranch house. the Mecca Of our pilgrimage. The
proprietor showed about the place, and with
each step our spirits until the Practical
Man put the matter TO the test and boldly stated
our desires. From the moment the ranchman
knew what wanted he seemed TO be of one
mind with us He anticipated wishes
by suggesting to put up for more tents like
the one he had. Good, substantial tents they
were to be- with wooden floors, screen doors and
well stretched flies that would turn the rain
This remarkable ranchman was SO accommodate
ing as to have more remarkable wife who ap-
peared to be delighted at the thought of furnish
ing Us three well cooked meals a day of our own
ordering.
Because everything went so smoothly the
thought occurred to me that this ranchman had
prepared for just such people we. and in
tended to increase his income by catering to .he

needs of campers who wanted the fun without
the discomforts of camp life Thes Practical
Man felt 50 sure that the idea had originated
with him, and was blissfully content with the
success OF his scheme that I had not the heart
to impart TO him my distressing doubt. And
then why could not the same brilliant idea have
come TO them both at once?
With one accord our friends said Let US start
at once for this newfound paradise" SO. on
June >, burdened with only the few clothes
actually needed we set forth for our
summers resting place. Everybody agreed that
the spot was ideal! The lofty moutains rose
abruptly on the west. making such a formidable
barrier between us and King Sol that he disap-
peared fully hour earlier than on the neigh
boring plains. We told that in the short
winter days he said good night at half past two
in the afternoon. On the east the level plains
stretched away to the horizon. 1t took little i'm
aginaton 10 see the blue ocean away off in the
distance, and when the wind sighed through the
pine trees that were all about us the illusion
was perfect. Much has been said about the
beauties Of the mountains, but not half enough
of the wonders of the plains They change with
the passing clouds and shifting lights When
the big red orb of the full moon rises over the
prairie it is comparable only to moonlight on

moment I could get up much enthusiasm
over anything. but as she was the KIND that

Since our party sought rest rather than
recreation ii was natural that had no MINI

had guns While they had no desire TO meet a
grizzly bear or a mountain lion, they found
much pleasure lying under the protection or

Our ranchman considered himself fine hunter
and used often to amuse with thrilling tales
Of his exploits Several times we were awakened
from our afternoon maps by rifle shots in the
vicinity of the chicken yard. We knew that 1t
meant that COYOTES were about and when we
asked if he had killed one he would reply
pompously: No. I didn't kill it, but could tell
that I hit him by the way he Off fine,
