least a trace of danger.
Automobiles passed Pilgrim. but he
disdained them. He had read that
Thoreau, the sage of outdoor New
England, had said, ut requires
direct dispensation from heaven to
become a walker" He gloried in the
strength that showed in his city legs.
and he tramped along firmly, now and
then, it is true, shifting his pack to
ease his shoulders a bit. So Pilgrim
held his head high as the motors
passed him. Had he been offered q
ride, he would have politely declined.
One lady, riding alone in closed
car, gaZed curiously at the tramper
and then her look of curiosity chang
ed to one of usefulness. Pilgram
knew that she. too, would like to
strike out afoot for the freedom of
the mountain paths. unrestricted by
the limits of smooth highways.
BY and by Pilgrim needed refresh
ment. He thought cup of coffee
would be just about right. He re-
solved to stop in at the next restau-
rant, and then he remembered there
were none such. and bethought HIM
self of his collapsible cooking outfit.
and that it probably was time to be

he detected himself through field

man he meets in the woodlands.
When q man has in his heart the
nature love that sends him to the
mountains there is little room in his
heart for evil. To be in the high
lands seems almost guarantee that
a mans mind Is clean and that the
fear Of God is in him. At least. that
is the way it seemed to Pilgrim.
X X X X
First off, Pilgrim went to Gorham
N. H., where is located the White
mountains Office Of the forest service,
and one of score of places from
which the mountains may be entered
handily. From Gorham. the forest
supervisor told him. he could take
any one of numerous routes that
would lead him into the inner fast
nesses. Pilgrims mind was set on
Mount Washington. the chief of the
peaks named for Presidents, and the
highest in New England. so he chose
the most direct route from Gorham
to that famous height. 1t was day
of chilly rain, but Pilgrim decided
to walk the eight miles to the base
of the mountain in order that his
legs might have a chance to prepare
for later and greater tasks.
The eight miles to the glen, which
lies serenely at the foot Of Mount
Washington, are as easily covered
afoot as any other stretch of similar
length in the country. But the state
highway curves on a gentle grade
through a panorama of beauty that

enough for the inexperienced tramper
to lose himself, even though most of
the paths are marvelously we'll mark
ed. And on a long. hard climb, or
when doubt as to the right course ex-
lists. there is no greater encourage
ment than that from CHEEKY counsel.
So Pilgrim, Brown and Gray start
ed in the middle of the morning to
climb Mount Washington. The sky
was clouded and mist hid all but the
minor peaks. but a telephone message
from above said the weather there
promised to be fair. Without such a
message Pilgrim would have hesitat-
ed long, for he already had learned
the reputation Of Mount Washington as
breeding place Of sudden and
violent storms in which more than
one climber had died from exhaustion
or cold, even in the mild weather of
summer. He was to learn more of
that later on.
They followed two miles of the
eight-mile carriage road that twists
from the base to the summit. and then
struck off on the Raymond path that
cuts two miles from the distance.
Sometimes the path had gentle grade.
sometimes it assembled sharply. severa;
times it crossed streams, but always
1t was plainly marked and easily fol-
lowed. The trampers halted beside
waterfall for "chow"-they cooked a
can of beans and some coffee-and
then pushed on with new vigor that
was betokened in the putting of their
pipes. In good time they reached the
Tuckerman ravine. one of the pre-
cipitous gateways to the summit, and
began the ascent whose difficulty and
beauty challenges the repeated efforts
each year of the most experienced
climbers. Clambering over rocks,
grasping at the low shrubs that had

them from perspiration, and they
seemed useless.
Here was a beautiful pickle, in
deed! But somewhere Pilgrim had
read that IL wet matches are rubbed

head was dry, and the artifice work.
ed. But the canned heat, having
been left exposed to the rain while
the matches were being attended to,
likewise was balky. Pilgrim wiped
off the water with his handkerchief,
and soon got results-coffee Of the
kind that can be made only outdoors.
1t was one of the few times that
Pilgrim depended on the canned heat.
1t seemed too artificial. too civilized.
Having obtained from the forest su-
pervisor permit to build camphres
in the national forest, he learned how
to build them and found them much
more satisfactory from the rough
ing it" standpoint.
Returning to the highway, Pilgrim
passed through a pretty field in
which were certain evidences of i'm
provements being made. Spring
water was being piped in, a great
stone fireplace was being built and
sanitary conveniences were being
constructed. At the forest ranger
station, farther on, Pilgrim learned
that this was one of the public camp

forest service They will be open
throughout the season for campers,
trampers and automobile parties.
Located in sheltered valleys and pro-
vided with most of the conveniences
of city parks, they represent one
activity OF the federal government in
opening the national forest for rec
reational purposes. The camp ground
that Pilgrim saw is on the state
Gorham. Another is being installed
on the Profile road about six miles
from Twin mountain and about seven
miles from the Old Man Of the
Mountain, which was the theme of
Nathaniel Hawthorne's Great Face"
Other public camp grounds also are
to be developed as the need and OBJ
portunities arise.
Clouds vejled the SUBMITS Of Wash
ington and the other presidential
peaks when Pilgrim reached the glen.
He was content to turn in for
long sleep before the climb that he
planned for the morrow. He could
have taken the Carter Notch path at
this point and reached a hut of the
Appalachian Mountain Club before
nightfall, but Pilgrim, being a tender
foot, reckoned that one night in n
hotel would not delay him long in
qualifying as mountaineer In the

appeared soon after the passing of tim

seemed to exist, they got above the
headwall. and paused for rest before
attempting the final effort up the cone
of the mountain. The clouds parted
and for the first time that day they
saw the sun as it bathed in splendor
the steep walls of the ravine.
Far above the floor they watched
the shadows of clouds chase each other
across the slopes, and vowed the sight
was worth all the effort it had cost.
But suddenly they noticed low, thick
cloud pushing through the entrance to
the ravine. They watched it approach.
and then arose the fear that it would
enshroud them and hide from them the
cairns-low piles of rock-that marked
the path to the summit Hastily they
slung on their packs to make the sum-
nit before the cloud should reach them.
But turning their faces upward. new
danger of the same sort threatened. A
thick cloud was blowing over the sum-
init toward them. Sure that the two
clouds would meet and perhaps force
them to spend hours on the wind-swept
rocks, they struggled upward to get
as near as possible to their goal, where
would be warmth and. safety. ,...
