letters, pictures and various editions
of his works. We can easily imagine
1t as 1t must have been on that day
when the two friends were talking to-
gether, and Milton produced the poem
he had lately written, asking Ellwood
to read 1t at his leisure. 1t was as
Ellwood says, that excellent poem,
entitled Paradise Lost" and then he
continued:
After I had, with my best atten-
ton. read il through, made him an
other visit and returned him his book
with due acknowledgment Of the
favor he had done me In communicate

WOMEN IN CLIMBING FEAT
Dangerous Trestle-Aseent Was
Result Of Wager.

Bretten Woods, N. H.-Climbing to
the summit of Mount Washingtou
over the dangerous trestle of the
Mountain railway In the darkness,
Mrs. w. g. Honford and Mrs. Beatrice
Recknadel of New York accomplished
feat never before undertaken, It Is
said. by their sex. The ascent was
made as the result of wager.
With high wind blowing and no
lights to guide them, the task of the
climbers in crossing over the lofty
Jacobs ladder trestle was regarded
as extremely perilous. AS soon as
roalroad officials heard that they had
started up the mountains, men with
lanterns were sent after them to
dissuade them from the attempt, but
were unable to overtake them until
they were close to the summit.
The two women reached the noun
tain top about ten o'clock, making
the distance of FIVE miles In four
hours and half. They remained at
the house there until morning, when
Mrs. Honford's husband arrived in his
motor car and took them back to their
hotel.
