In 1924, when Virginia extended from the
Atlantic into the unknown West. few of her
colonists had crossed the Blue Ridge or the
Alleghenies. So full of dangers from savages
and wild beasts and 50 full of natural difficult
ties the passage of these terrible heights,
that Governor Spotswood. setting out to dis
cover a pass. looked on the expedition as so
hazardous that he took with him guard of
soldiers, gentlemen, and pioneers, armed
and carrying provisions. These scaled the
pass with great hardships and perils, and re-
turned after the Governor had cut the name
of King George in the rocks on the highest
peak.
He then constituted the society, or order,
of the Golden Horseshoe. Each man who
had scaled this high pass was made member
of it. and to each one he presented golden
horseshoe. On the side was inscribed in Latin
SO it peases him to cross mountains.
ANY men thereafter who could prove that
he had read with his own eyes the name of
the King on the height was entitled to become

Great Men and Their Cats

that Muezza was fast asleep. Muezza's slum-
