A Climb Upon Peaked Mountain.

(By Katie Chase, ii, Townshend.)
II was a pleasant day in July when
a friend and myself had a day OF from
our work. We decided that we would
take stroll mp on Peaked Mountain.
After We had decided what We would do
we began TO put up our dinner and
other things that We wanted TO take mp
on the mountain. About . o'clock We
started. On our way up We stopped at
a house. We got to talking until We saw
that Il was getting late. SO We thought
that We would 20 on, As We got up the
road a way we saw that we had missed
where the path goes in from the road.
So we went back down the road a mile or
more until at last we got to the path. 30
We went up the path.
After long walk, climbing hills
and going through the woods, we came
to the top OF the mountain II was about
~ o'clock. We unloadcd our baskets and
set up place for our fire to cook our
dinner over. We heated some water for
our potatoes and eggs Ia boil in. We
found nice rock for our table, and as
our dinner was cooking We looked around
a little and after a little while We looked
down a little farther and saw beautiful
view and. as We had our camera with Us,
we took picture of IT, We took quite
"a few pictures as we were up there
After going down the side of the noun
tain way we found some flowers. We
gathered few Of them. SO We went
back up the mountain and found a little
bottle and put some water in II and set
the flowers ON the table. At the top of
the mountain we could see the beautiful
trees which were SO green and pretty, and
also besides the trees we could see the
dear old village OF Townshcnd. Then We
went TO see about our dinner rs II
was done We put il on the table and sat
down to eat. We had sandwiches, which
we brought already made with Us, and
potatoes and meat, and We had hot
coffee for drink and good many other
things. We had good hearty dinner,
SO / guess we did not Starye. 1t was
about | o'clock when we sat down To eat
our dinner. We ate until about o'clock
and then got up from the table and took
care of our things. Then we took our
fishing poles, which we had brought with
us, and went down the mountain a way
to the water and began to fish We sat
there about fifteen minutes when some
thing in the water pulled on the line and
pulled it up out of the water and |
saw that | had caught a fish. SO
pulled it off the line and killed It and
put il in my basket. Then ] put my
line in the water again and in a few
minutes my friend pulled a fish out
She took care OF it, as | was fixing my
line We sat they awhile and no fish
came near, so we went further down the
stream We caught only few fish here,
so we decided that We would go back up
The mountain, as we did not have much
time before starting on our homeward
tourney We gathered some flowers and
other things that we wanted to take
home. After little while we thought
that we could start home, though 1t was
a little early. 1t was nice and warm
When we got down as far as the house
that we stopped at on our way up, we
saw the girls out in the yard playing
crouuet They called MS over, 50 we went
over and we all played, We had a grand
time. After playing a little while, they
asked us to come into the house to eat
some ice cream and cake with them.
We went in and ate some. 1t was very
nice and was frozen 50 that it was real
hard. Besides the ice cream and cake we
had popcorn We.ate until it was getting
about 5 o'clock and we went out and
PLAYED croquet some more. After play
ing a little while we started to go home
When we got in sight of the village It
was about o'clock. We both decided
that we had spent very pleasant day
