THERE is a curious mass of rock

Peak or the Devils Tower. While for
long time II was claimed that 1t
could not be climbed, finally ranch.
man named Benton scaled the cliff
1t cost him several weeks of hard
labor to prepare for the ascent. He
drove cedarwood wedges, one above
the other, into a vertical crevice where
one of the basaltic pillars had split
away. To the outside of the wedges
he spiked Exc joists, and so built a
ladder that reached straight up more
than 200 feet to a shelf in the rock.
From that shelf he built in a similar
way shorter ladder that reached the
summit. He hoisted his materials by
means of pulley attached to one OF
the wedges. One can realize the diff
ficulty of the exploit If he will picture
Benton standing on the perilous sup
port of one of his wedges $50 feet
above the ground and swinging
sledge hammer over his head to drive
the next wedge into the crevlce. 1t Is
a marvel that he did not fall to his
death.
He finished the ladder just before
the advent of the Fourth of July. An
Independence day picnic was held that
day at the base If the tower, which
people from all over the surrounding
country attended. They saw not only
Benton but his wife ascend the peak
and lnfurl the American flag on the
summit.

sat before the campfire, watching the
fat pine knots spout red pointed
flames up into the early black night.
The fearful runaways had merely

but now they could take their ease

The head of the Dunklin family felt
vaguely that the conversation was on
dangerous ground; not because he dis
believed in the existence of the saint
of childhood, but because the circum.
stances were certainly unusually un.
propitious. So he fell back upon the
ancient trick of avoiding question

Well, he knew there was no ade-

her head into the fire.
Now, buddie, tell whut you want

Peruna that the great visitor would
have any truck" with stockings not
freshly Numbered, so in a bucket of
water she washed hers and Kilmer's,
standing barelegged in her shoes and
shrieking at the GOODNESS OF the water

Kilmer planted two forked sticks
close to the fire and placed pole on
