CHAPTER III.
The News At Ripley.

Miss Molly Mcdonald had departed
for the carefully treasuring her
fathers detailed letter of instruction
filled with interest and enthusiasm
She was an army girl, full Of conf
dence in herself and delighted at the
prospect Of an unusual summer.
Moreover, her natural spirit of ad-
venture had been considerably stimu-
lated by the envious comments of her
schoolmates, who apparently believed
her wondrously daring to venture such
a trip, the apprehensive advice Of her
teachers, and much reading, not very
judiciously chosen, relative to pioneer
life on the plains. The possible hard
ships of the long journey alone did
not appall her In the least. She had
made similar trips before and had al
ways found pleasant and attention
companionship Being a wholesome,
PLEASANT girl, with eyes decided
W beautiful, and an attractive person
aiity, the making of new friendships
was never difficult Of course, the
stage ride would be an entirely fresh
and precarious experience, but then
her father would doubtless meet her
before that, or send some officer to act
as escort. Altogether the prospect
appeared most delightful and alluring.
The illness of the principal of Sun
nycrest had resulted in the closing of
the school some few days earlier than
had been anticipated, and it was SO
lonely there after the others had de-
parted that Miss Molly fastened her
packing and promptly joined the ex-
odus. Why not? She could wait the

Budapest. which is fairly cut in two
by the broad expanse of the river, ac-
cording to D. N. and A. S. Iddings in
the National Geographic Magazine.
Formerly two cities, Buda on the
right hand struggles up picturesque
mountain, and here on high terrace
is the magnificent palace of the king
of Hungary, with wonderful outlook
over the river. Pest, on the opposite
side of the river, is the modern city
and commercially important. It's To-
cation is upon a fiat, so characteristic
of the rich Danubian plains.
The population Of the combined cit
les is about 100000, and here is the
center of all Hungarian activities,
Hungary as a nation having little real
culture, no manufacturing to speak of,
in short, naught but a pastoral ex-
istence outside of its capital city.
The rich fertility of the Danubian
plains has always made agriculture
the natural exertion of the people, just
as the plains themselves constitute
the principal area of the kingdom. But
the life of Budapest is compensatory
for the dullness that pervades the rest
of Hungary. Budapest is Paris, vi
emma and London in one, a combiha-
ton of the gayeties of the capitals of
the world with a little distinctive Hun
garian paprika thrown in.
The "Corso" along the Danube in
Pest is the promenade and whose
group of open air cafes and restau-
rants form the hub of the gay Magyar
life. Throughout the city almost every
other building houses a cafe, SO impor-
tant a part do these establishments
play in the national life.

his early breakfast of coffee and rolls,
