and loved sleeping amongst the pines
ard playing all day with Pete. But the
father soon found his small fund of
money getting low and wondered what
he could do to support his family until
he got entirely well.
Knowing that the mountains were
fun of mining camps, and wishing to
find gold mine for himself, he began
to spend days climbing amongst the
huge rocks, looking for the peculiar
stone called quartz, through which
run veins of gold like tiny. silken
threads. But every evening he would
return tired out and emptyhanded.
Even Ada noticed the worried look
on his face and her mothers tears,
though she could not understand the
trouble. But at last. one evening, a
terrible thing happened.
For when the father came he said
sadly that he would have to sell dear
old Pete because his money had all
been spent. And they would have to
go down to some town and the father
find work, though il he could stay a
few months longer on the mountain he
would be a well man.
Ada knew that her father was to take
Pete away to sell a noon the next day,
SO directly after breakfast she put on
his bride and climbed on his back.
Then with her chubby legs humping
against his sides she set out. following
a path across the mountain. winding
through the pines until they stood at
the top OF high rock. Just below was
grassy bit Of level ground hidden by
towering trees. She meant to hide her
pet so her father could not find him.
So she climbed down from Pete's
back and began to pull on the bride
as she slid down the rock. But the
tiny feet slipped and the child fell. roll
ing over and over down the slantins

but not hurt. on the grass at the bot
tom. In falling she had jerked Pete,
too and he fell, but not in exactly the
same direction as Ada. Kicking and
knocking rocks about. he came bounC-
ing down to the bottom, then scrambled
grass.
But little Ada commenced to cry.
Then at the top of her voice she
screamed for her father, but no sound
came in answer from the big, silent
mountains. The sun rose higher and
higher and she knew it must be dinner

Women to Ask Congress
To Publish Old Records

Congress soon will be petitioned to
publish all records of pensions, land
grants, and land rights granted Ameri-
can soldiers prior to the Mexican war.
The request will be made by a commit
tee of the Daughters OF the American
Revolution headed by Mrs. John Miller
Horton, of Buffalo.
Publication of these records is asked
not only as matter of convenience in
genealogical research, but because these
old official records are in danger of fire
as they are now stored in the State.

and because frequent handling tends
to wear them out.
