Thibet, the Forbidden Land. We had
plenty of good fights, but we carried
good rifles and reyolvers, and always
came out best. The Chinese emperor

an open sesame everywhere in his

To-day, because of his experiences,
young Greenlee is not the enthusiast
he used to be. In fact, his sufferings
have made him all but physical
wreck. And when one listens to his
tale, it is hard to realize how he could
have done all this and come out of IL
alive.
I'VE went on NORTH said young
Greenlee, while he was in New York,
from German South Africa up
through the Congo Free State and
through British East Africa to Alden.
A short time before we left Alden,
Jones and Ryan went ahead a bit, and
it was a few days before we came up
with them-they were in a fight with
band of tribesmen. Neither had
guns because of their religious scru.
pies. We were too late.
The moment we came up we start
ed firing on our common foes, but the
assegais of the natives killed both
poor Jones and poor Ryan before we
got the range with our rifles. Then we
had to fight to save ourselves. When
at last the tribesmen fed-no match
for our long range rifles-we counted
90 dead bodies. We had TO burn the
bodies of our friends to keep the saw
ages from eating them after we were
gone.
After that 1t was pretty gloomy,

Dance at The
Preside

y APTAIN THOMAS Q. ASHBURN,
I U. S. A, and Mrs. Ashburn gave
one of the most delightful dances
ever given at the Presidio last evening
and perhaps the pleasure of the occa-
sion was due in part to the prominence
and popularity OF the three compli-
mented guests. Miss Marcia Fee shared
the honors with Miss Anna Weller and
Miss Floyd of Kentucky, who has been
entertained frequently during her visit
here from the southern state.
Mrs. Ashburn was assisted in receiv-
ing by this attractive trio and a num-
Der of other friends, among whom
were:
Mrs. John McAiullen Misses Morrison of San

Mrs. Charles S. Fee Miss Eliza McMulIen
The decorations at the officers club.
where the dance was given, were
among the prettiest seen this year at
any of the dancing parties. The domi-
nant color was red, the artillery color,
with an effective background of green.
The green was furnished by tall palms
and wreaths of ferns, while brilliant
red flowers were much in evidence
The clusters of red carnations We're

or in the arrangement for the pleasure
of the guests. More than 100 enjoyed

Mrs. Ashburn wore a beautiful crea-

gown was made with the new square
