old volcano Of Orizaba, with its snow
covered top.
II will not be the first time-that is
If Funston finds it impossible to pro-
ceed on steam trains--that an army
has clanked its way through the Mex

century these same passes rang with
the rattle OF the armor Of Cortez's
Spaniards. There was only a hand
ful OF them and thew had heard only
as a vague Indian legend that a great
and rich city was ahead of them be-
yond the mountains. A few years
later Cortez fed by these same passes
