 It was between Shafter and Proc tor. Utah, that she turned into prospectors' trail for a short cut. The trail faded out and when she turned and would have gone back the way she had come, she found that Lady Ellen's hoofs had left no marks on the granite mountain surface.
 She rode aimlessly until night without food or water for herself or the horse and after suffering all night from the bitter cold, she tied the horse the next morning and climbed to the top of peak to try to get her bearings. l. was no use, and in re turning she missed Lady Ellen and wandered about the mountain side until the mare. becoming impatient. neighed and Miss Aspinwall was guided by the sound.
 Throughout the second day she led the horse, 10 spare it the burden Of her weight. Toward sunset she de termined to risk everything on the sagacity of Lady Ellen. Giving the mare rein. she followed. The animal led her up a peak and down the other side, where il was so steep that they slid most of the way, and landed her in railroad camp
 She collapsed when there was no more need for endurance, and the railroad men carried her into camp, more dead than alive, and cared for her and Lady Ellen.
 Wherefore, Miss Aspnwall says, get a thoroughbred if you are going to ride across the country Tt was Lady Ellen that saved my life" she said. When l was getting ready for the ride everyone told me I wanted bronc. l knew better l wanted thoroughbred An English magazine had negotiated with me to make the ride. but when l asked them to stake me to at least the price for horse feed they got cold feet. But l wasn't going to be a piker. so l started on ny ON II IOoh. Anu hiii S'iIlS '' finish the trip.
 She crossed the White-Death des- ert, sixty-tive miles, in one day. The desert is of chalky whiteness, the horses hoofs make no noise, and there is nothing to drink but fatal arsenic water, and nothing 10 eat but sage brush. On other parts of the journey she sometimes rode ninety miles in day.
 She shot up the town of Mitchell, at the top of the Tennessee Pass. but she says it was not because she wanted 10 be cute or funny She was angry She had knocked on front doors and back doors and nobody had called to her to come in and nobody came out So she blazed away at every window she saw. The town woke up and she left hurriedly
 That story got around, she says, and after that l could net draw my handkerchief without starting pan ic, so 1 quit carrying the gun.
 Miss Aspinwall has been l22 days on the way From San Francisco to Denver she averaged forty-one miles q day. From Denver East she has been averaging twenty-seven miles a day.
