little on the sunny side OF forty, was
sitting on the cosy porch. He arose

glimpse through the doorway OF

girl OF perhaps sixteen or seventeen
years.
After little verbal skirmishing I
drew from the rancher the story Of
which tho memorial was the visible
reminder. Here it is:
The rancher was n yale man." as
he expressed It. As prominent
figure in university athletics he had
injured his health After graduation
he developed incipicnt tuberculosis
and was advised by physicians to lose
no time in getting to Southern Cali
fornia and adopting the "close to ma
ture" life in the dry atmosphere near
the mountains. He homesteaded a
quarter section Of seemingly worth
less hillside land and built shack
on the site Of his present cottage.
The change of environment soon
restored his health, and he was so
greatly pleased with the new life that
ne returned TO his Eastern home for
a life partner. TO whom hc was en-
gagged when in his senior year at
Yale. Back ia his mountaiu-odgo
home he came with his bride, sem
sible Yankee lass who shared his lovc
for the "closc-to-nature" idea. In

OF them were unpleasantly sociable.

The theatre Of my last summers
outing was the eastern boundary Of
San Bernardino Valley. II Is the
most picturesque section of Southern
California. The lofty and rugged
Sierrss form horseshoe, studded
with three peaks, each more than
two miles high - San Bernardino,
San Groganio (Grayback) and San
Antonio Gold BaldO. A fourth peak
that tops the two-mile line Is San .Ja-
cinto, score OF miles southeastward.
One afternoon | was strolllng lazily
In the foothills at the base of San
Bernardino peak. IT was near the
mouth Of Santa Ana Canyon, whence
flows the river whose water irrigatcs
the larger part OF the great orange
belt. The foothills thereabout are
uncultiVated mainly because of irri-
cation difficulties. A few energetic
ranchers surmount the obstacle, how
ever. by developing water in gulches

AS l reached the cottage my atten-
