around as mans arm at the biceps, rising
to height Of Is OF 20 feet and buriting out
into lace-like green fronds at the top. There

The blossom of this on its long stalk was

pulled some now and then. The scent was
delicious.
Among the floral beauties were the or
chids and other air plants. There were tens
of thousands of bushels OF these aristocrats
OF the plant world to be had for the taking.
They covered the dead limbs and nestled in
the joints of the live ones. Many OF the
trees were entirely covered by them and in
some places the orchids were in flower,
forming mass of purple, yellow or white
blossoms Of the most exquisite shapes.
There were also lianas, which we'll straight
from the branches hundreds Of feet and
rooted themselves in the earth. There were
thick vines which wrapped themselves
around the huge trunks as the snakes wrap
the LAGOON in the famed statue at Rome.
Some Of the vines and vanished leaves like
the holly and some bore flowers.
The mist added to the beauty Of the
woods, and the perpetual dripping from the
trees reminded me OF the wonderful rain
forest of the Victoria falls on the Zambezi,
the African Niagara. There were also open
places during the ride, and at these the sun
came behind lis and painted little rainbows
on the mist. Some Of the rainbows were
not more than 200 feet long, and felt like
whipping up my pony to find the bags of
gold at their ends.
Coming down the mountains we stopped
at the Lecheria, outside which we had ex-
pected to sleep in our bags or, in case ~
rain. to have taken bed on the boards
within. 1t is lucky that we chose San Ped
TO- The rooms were filled with dirty cows
and the floors were unspeakable. A suck
ing calf was tied on the porch OF the shed,
and near it a razor-backed hog slipped slop
while we slipped our coffee. The milk was
scarcely sanitary and the shed was not as
good nor as clean as the ordinary pig pen of
Our country.
We made our way from here down to
San Pedro. and there had fairly good din
ner. 1t consisted OF soup. an omelet, roast
chicken custard and cup of hot coffee.
The soup was of cheese, macaron, rice and
eggs all mixed up together, and the omelet
was somewhat flat and bit leathery.

and then concluded would rather die OF

on again and thrashed my steed into action.
Then the saddle girth broke, and slid down
to the ground. Floeckher lost first his hat,

After while we got the horse and started

OF the woods after many climbs over logs
The wind had now died away and the guide
used candle, by which he finally brought
us through gullies to shed known as the
Lecheria, perhaps two hours from the era

1t was now daybreak, but the clouds were
thick on the volcano and the mist fell in
drops like rain. 1t is strange how ones

For Thou art with me. and Thy rod

which seemed to fit into the occasion:
! to the hills will lift mine eyes,
From whence doth come mine aid. :.
My safety cometh from the Lord.
Who heaven and earth hath made.
Thy foot He'll not let slide.
Nor will He slumber that thee keeps

He slumbers not nor sleeps.
Indeed, it would need the Lord to keep
