in hill air on a long tramp. After
tea We made the necessary arrange
ments for supper, washed out som:
of the dirtiest tea towels | ever saw
Took our pioOlWs steamer, rugs
embroidery, crochet, sewing, kodaks
gun, etc., and oh! yes, we took Kip
ling and had delightful evening.
Meal time was always a merry
time for the Teheri Ten who were
better acquainted at this stop in
the journey. One member of the
party had not been Informed of the
urgent need of taking cup, knife,
fork, spoon and plate along. Three
! others had not been impressed with
the need of plates, and only took a
cup and saucer with the knife fork
and spoon, so it fell for each men,
Der of the party at some time or
other to eat from saucer five inches
in diameter, deghshi cover, or q
biscuit tin lid. This of course was
always source of amusement, but
never forgot, 1--WE are roughing it. :
After supper in Kauria Mrs. Allen
had charge of our prayer service, 6
custom we started out with to have
prayers before setting out in the
morning and after supper in the ev-
ening. She used some thought ,
from an address of Bishop ---
she once heard in America in re-
gard to the value of Christians, and
he said if we were all per cent
Christians the whole world would
be Christians in very short time.
The question come to me, am l o
per cent Christian? These prayer
services were always helpful and the
close association with group OF
strong Christian workers has been
great inspiration to me.
Mrs. Allen, Miss Lee, Miss Jack
son and l always coupled one room
and Miss Hessel, Miss Atkin, Miss
Copeland and Miss Mac Kenzie the
other. Miss Jackson and l had only
one roll of bedding and slept OH
the floor every night during the
journey. We often became conscious
of bony pominences, but sleep US
ually came and with it we were al
ways refreshed and ready for the
onward march. We left Kauria
Tuesday afternoon. After sub
stantial chhota Hazari of boiled
eggs, bread, butter, jam and tea,
and had we known we would have
nothing more unit: {: p. m. we might
have crammed our pockets with pea
nuts or something
The third and last march ia:o
Teheri was tWlive-mile march

out chaperon had proceeded us so
far that we could net see her in the
far distance around bends of tie
road. The party on foot felt the
intense heat and longed for good
shade and breakfast. After finish
ing the ninth mile we found our
chaperon asleep on an excart UNI
der the shade of some grand oil
trees. She had a box of biscuits and
we all sat around on oxcarts and
refreshed ourselves with the contents
of this bicuit box. Emitted surahi
of water and decided not to wait for
the luggage coolies but to go on in
to Teheri and have our breakfast
and tiffin all in one meal and then
rest. After resting while we
started out on the three remaining
miles of the journey. The MONDAY
glare on that stretch of plain was
something dreadful. We feel burn
ed as it were, but journeyed on and
soon came in sight of the pretty lit
tie town of Teheri at the left. There
were three or four pretentious build
ings, the most pretentious of, these
we later learned was the Raja's pal
ace, situated on a very high hill ov-
erlooking the Gangese. Two others
a boys government school and a
large dormitory also a very pretty
clock tower Of Indian architecture
graced the pretty little town. We.
crossed the Gangese before going
into the town. It is very narrow at
this point. but the gorge is very
deep, and the water rushes like mad
as II II wanted more room 10 which
to swell.
