Bisbee daily review., 1910-11-25
By CLARISsA MACKIE


 l The mountains lifted blue green summits to the soft blue skies, and their shadowy slopes were reflected in the cool depths of the lake at their i feet In the two storied pavilion that overhung the sheet of water three young men watched the hotel bus roll ing up the incline to the many win dowed hostelry perched on the eastern | mountain.
 | Dick Faneher lifted a pair of field | glasses to his eyes and scanned the
 tiny objects emerging from the bus. | Girls, girls. everywhere. and not a man in sight," he misquoted complain | ingly.
 Lester Pennington leaned back in his chair and yawned widely; then. as if i suddenly reminded of something i'm portant. he jumped up and found a seat on the railing. Did you see the masculine young woman that came with the Bowker party?- he asked. with animation.
 They nodded assent. I good looking girl will get herself up to look like a half baked dude? Did you note the dinky panama hat. the stiff | collar and four-in-hapd tic. the white shirt waist and black cutaway coat? !, Who could make love to a girl of that sort?''
 .I couldn't" said Dick bluntiy. I'm l fond of fluffy rufiiy. lacy sorts of , girls
 50 I've observed" chuckled Billy Satterly. knocking his pipe agninst the railing.
 "You haven't expressed your opinion of the mannish young woman. Billy" suggested Pennington
 "Mafl's in Are you chaps going up after our share?" asked Satterly fir relevantly.
 "Going after our own letters: then we shall sit on the piazza with the Bowker girls. Come up and get your own mail you lazy beggar." / Penning- ton poked Billy suggestively as he saun- ! tered past. Come on. Dick. Perhaps we can ring in game of tennis. So long. Billy boy" Great Scott, it's hot here. believe i I'll climb up to the peak where the wind must be blowing some miles a minute Billy pulled his hat down over his eyes and set forth on the 1 narrow trail that wriggied up the | mountain.
 The wind was increasing. and the pines and cedars rustied and whisper i ed noisily. All the wild scents of pine and hemlock and trailing sassafras and other more elusive odors assaiied his nostrils as he climbed upward. stop ping now and then to rest and gaze over the view that widened below as I he went on. The long afternoon was before him, and he outlined a vaguely delightful period of repose on the peax with nothing above him but the tender blue sky and the feecy white clouds
 sailing along toward the south
 ..If none of those giggiy girls from the hotel break in on me I ought to have a bully old tirne.' panted Sat terly as he toiled up the last steep ascent.
 He cramned his hat down farther
 over his eyes in defense against the gale that was blowing up here Brac- ing himself against the wind. he turned
 to look down into the valley below
 when he became aware that he was
 not alone on the peak.
 Near him. and apparently oblivious to his presence, was slender, boyisn : figure. whose black cloth skirts whip ping back in the wind accentuated the
 masculine appearance of what proved 3 to be a girl, and mighty pretty girl 7 at that" thought Satterly as he looked ae her.
 ? This was the girl who had arrived
 with the Bowkers-the one Penning-
 ton had been making all sorts of asi. g nine remarks about Billy maneuvered
 himself into her range of vision and
 barred his head
 .stifish gale" he remarked pleas , antly.
 The girl swept him with contemptu-
 ous eyes from which all the softness
 had fed and bowed her head so very al slightly that Billy admitted it would
 have been better if she had made no [ sign of recognition whatever.
 His brow darkened under the brim of his hat; then he pulled the hat ofi
 again and stood bareheaded in the , wind. He would make her speak, he . vowed
 , "Stifish gale" he said again | No reply this time. The girl had el dropped her hat and framed her eyes e with her hands. looking fntentiy at tbe al figures like mannikins dotted about VI the hotel grounds below. s .'Stifhsh gale" repeated Billy obsti , nntely, stiIl looking at her. !, She made no reply to this original t remark, but the young man thought
 he detected a quiver of the sensitive i mouth.
 d .'stifhsh gale- he yelled angriiy, just e as the gale took her light hat and
 swept it with stinging force againsi Y his face .I told you 1t was q stifdsf
