rocks, the. assures and the fallen timber; put
along in March and April, when the snow Is
settled solid, so as to cover up the rough
places, you can get along pretty well. Then
there's sort of knack about picking your

bred feet, and ended in dense forest of tail
frs that filed a valley several miles wide.
To the north was quite a large lake. On
tn. side of the valley opposite me, the forest
extended nearly as high up as the ridge
stood on; above it rose tremendous preci.
pce, and on the top of that was glacier OF
green ice, hundreds of feet thick and reach
ing far up the mountain, how far could not
tell, for the clouds had fallen very low.
'"Ihe sun shone where l was, and to the
nolti, the sky looked bright enough, but down
to the south the air was filled with clouds

wind came in an uncertain sort OF way, but
died as quickly as they came. | was in for
a storm; but did not feel much alarm, as the
thought never entered my head that it would

my own tracks and S Sc make better time
down in the valley-the mountain was almost
all hidden-I started back on as near an APP
proach to a run as was safe. had not gone
ten rods before strnng gust of wind came
up suddenly. It did not last more than a
few seconds. but was followed by another,
and that by another. The last one brought
a little snow with it.. Without knowing why,
turned and looked back at the valley again.
Il shall never forget the sight. Along the
side of the mountain, just where the growth
of trees ended, cloud was sweeping with
speed that startled me, and great whiriing
mass of snow was falling from it. The fir
trees, far below, were writing in the wind.
The cloud, that had hidden the top of the
mountain, seemed to have fallen. to join that
which was advancing up the valley, and left
the white peak cleaning in the sunshine.
81 think that towering pyramid of snow
frightened me more than the. coming storm
1t looked terrible, rising so calm and solemn
like out of the tossing clouds, and, when they
shut in and hid it, / felt relieved, though |
did not know what would happen next.
"Ihe storm came as suddenly as an explo-
sion. After the three gusts l have spoken
of there was a calm spell, during which the
leaden cloud-wall to the south became grayer
and grayer, as it shut out first one object and
then another from my sight. There came a
rush OF air that almost lifted me from my |
feet: then a swirling, furious SNOWFALL so
dense that l could not make out anything
ten feet away.

titles of snow were falling that it seemed as
II | would be buried where I stood.
1t was hard to make any Roadway. When
came over the burn before. there hadn't
seemed to be very many fallen trees, but now
they, appeared like network, and l would
hardly more than get over one before having
to climb another.
Then the storm made it quite dark, so that
couldn't always make out where | was
stepping, and got good many falls in con-
sequence.
Once / fell very heavily. and for a few
moments | lay upon the snow, feeling too
discouraged to get up. 1t seemed as if any
further effort was useless. To lie still and
let the snow cover me appeared much easier
than to rise and struggle with the storm.
while | was thinking this way, one Of
my arms, that was stretched out on the
snow became nearly hidden by the fast fall
Hbilty OF being completely buried, and what
my feelings would be when the last glimpse
OF daylight was shut out.
This frightened me so that / gasped as

Then came a thought Of the danger of falling

still IN perfect agony of doubt.
Afraid to go on, afraid to stand still, for
a little while / was nearly beside myself.
Then / dropped to my hands and knees and
grcped my way along; but this way of prog.

and called for help at the top of INV voice.
Why | called is beyond guessing. Alone,
in the midst of a snow-torm and miles from

reach any ears but mine.
Indeed, | scarcely seemed to hear my own
voice, for 1t appeared to be caught by the
wind and scattered into nothing.
Then slowly trying every foot of the way,
moved on.
After what seemed a very long time, but
could not have been, my progress was block

my strength did not feel equal to climb
ing them, and, as their ends were not within
sight because of the snowfall, | was afraid
to try and go round them. 1t was only the
thought that there might be shelter on the
other side that gave me courage to try and
get over.

long distance apart, and between them IS
great valley, hanked on the far side by a
precipice hundreds of feet high.
These white patches you see on the side
OF the horseback-which is not horseback
at all, but iat-topped ridge-are great areas
we call them 'burns'-from which all the
trees have been burned off. Some Of them
are hundreds of acres in extent. though they

well, our camp was down at the foot OF
that ridge, and it was up through the forest

climbed that day. Being pretty fast
walker, and able to strike straight line
through the woods, Just after noon was on
the top and had good view of the noun
tain slope opposite me.
II could not see the summit of the peak,
for it was hidden in the clouds, and down to
the south was. great lead-colored mass OF
vapor that looked very threatening.
Il ought to have turned right about and
gone back, but large bare space, covered
by hard snow, was too tempting after my
uphill climb through the trees. 80 | made
up my mind to hurry over to where l could c
ing the ground over, to come back as quick
ly as possible.
and once within the shelter of the forest
again, if storm did come. on, it would
and, if it did, to have to, spend the night in
the woods would be no killing matter.
$50, sticking my rife into spht stub,
where it could be easily seen, and without
stopping to eat the lunch in my pocket, but
munching it as l walked, / set out over the
snow. .
"The walking was good for half a mile
or SO, but after that there were good many
fallen trees, and every now and then would
come to deep, narrow ravine. Some OF
them were only a few feet wide, and IN
places had crust OF snow over them. l
could generally find a way. around. though
once or twice | came to places where they
were bridged by fir trees that had fallen
across them.
"This sort of thing took up good deal Of
time and the distance to the other side of
the burn was further than it seemed at
the start.
"'The clouds on the mountain came down
lower and lower, and those toward the
south seemed very much nearer. | knew il
was risky to go on; but you know how it is
when you've begun thing you like to 60
through, especially if you know you never
should have started on it,
"Eoon saw ahead of me long row OF
tree-tops, showing that the ridge fell off very
sharply on the side next the mountain.
These trees probably grew two or three hun
dred feet down in the valley, and the view
from the edge of the burn would be sure
to be very fine Perhaps there might be a
spur extending across the valley to the main
peak. So, without thinking any more about
turning back. hurried on.
