and enlightenment and sorrow before
her, had greater choice to make.
How fortunate we are that the flu
ture is yelled, that the psalmist's
prayer that he might know his end
and be certified how long he had to-
live Is one that will rot and cannot
be granted; that it has been given to
but One to foresee his own future,
for no power apparently could enable
us to stand up against what might be,
because we are only human beings
not stuff GENTLY alight with the spark
divine. We wait for the end because
we must, but thank God we know it
not until it comes.
Nothing OF this appeared to the girl
that bright sunny morning. Fate hid
in those mountains under the guise OF
fancy. Lighthearted, carefree, fitted
with buoyant JOY over every fact OF
life. she left the flowing water and
scaled the cliff beyond which in the
wilderness she was to find after all,
the world.
The ascent was longer and more
difficult and dangerous than she had
imagined when she first confronted it,
perhaps it was typical and foretoid her
progress. More than once she had
to stop and carefully examine the face
of the canon wall for practicable
trail, more than once she had to ex-
ercise EXTREMIST care in her climb,
but she was a bold and fearless noun
taineer by this time and at last sur
mounting every difficulty she stood
painting slightly, little tired. but
triumphant upon the summit.
The ground was rocky and broken,
the timber line was close above her
and she judged that she must be sew
eral miles from the camp. The canon
was very crooked, she could see only
a few hundred yards of it in any di-
rection. She scanned her circum-
scribed limited horizon eagerly for the
smoke from the great fire that they
always kept burning In the camp, but
not sign of it was visible. She was
evidently a thousand feet above the
river whence she had come. Her
standing ground was rocky ridge
which fell away more gently on the
other side for perhaps two hundred
feet toward the same brook. She
could see through vistas in the trees
the uptossed peaks of the main range.
bare. chaotic, snow crowned, lonely,
majestic, terrible.
The awe of the everlasting hills Is
greater than that of heaving seas.
Save in the infreouent periods of calm.
the latter always moves; the noun
tains are the same for all time. The
ocean is quick, noisy, living; the
mountains are calm, still--dead!
The girl stood as it were on the
roof of the world, solitary human
being, so far as she knew, in the eye
of God above her. All, but the eyes
divine look long and see far; things
beyond the human ken are all re-
vealed None of the party had ever
come this far from the camp in this
direction she knew And she was
