 And to whom, more than all others, is our deliverance due?

over the Casitas mountains; it is very
narrow and rough and the turns are
abrupt, but the scenery is wildly beau

In Los Angeles we went to all the

saw more than 500 live alligators of
all sizes from the monstrouS ones, 13O
years of age, to those a few weeks old.
Some were trained to shoot the chutes
and all would come at their keepers
call.
We visited Riverside and Redlands.

no farther south. Returning to Los

day made the run home to Berkeley.

like to have a ride on some mules. We
said yes, of course.
We'll, then, come along with me-" he
said. We followed for about a quarter
of a mile. when he stopped in front of a
house and told us he would go and get
the mules. When he brought them we
got on and began to ride. The man came
along with us.
My mule began to kick the first thing

On July is, 1908, about s o'clock in

and bedding. We travelled in the cool

see the roads, then we pitched our tent
for the night.
At about o'clock ON the morning
of the 18th we were wide awake, ready
for our breakfast and anxious to be

breakfast was over, the stakes all
pulled and we We're on our way again
TO my grandfather's beautiful mountain
home, which is called the Sky ranch. "
We arrived at our destination at
about 10 o'clock in the forenoon. While
we were very tired travelling over the
mountain roads. the scenery was SO
beautiful that it was well worth the
trip
Having pitched our tent and fixed our

ready, after a few hours rest for a
plunge in the. clear stream that
winds its way through the beautiful
valley about a half mile from our
camping grounds. In order to tramp
over the mountains and get the best

wore Mexican hats and overalls. Off
at distance it was pretty hard to

out on the trail over the mountain in

of hunters. tired and hungry, that came
stfoiling into camp about 4 o'clock in
the evening, with a fine big buck
bound to each side of our faithful

our supper of venison was relished
by all.
With the delightful trips of hunt

playing jokes on each other the end

with the sun shining on their branches.
