of the lofty peaks Of the great range.
A level stretch of grassy land where
a mountain brook Joined the creek
was dotted with clumps Of pines and
great boulders rolled down from the
everlasting hills-half an acre OF open
clearing. On the opposite side OF the
brook the canon wall rose almost
sheer for perhaps five hundred feet,
ending in Jagged, needle-edged pin
nacles Of rock, sharp, picturesque and
beautiful. A thousand feet above ran
the timber line, and four thousand
feet above that the crest OF the great

ment which had cleaned so brightly

campfire. It was the evening Of the

pitched their tents and the perma

was abundant, the water at hand was
as cold as ice, as clear as crystal ant
as soft as milk. There was pas
