At the window a view of the linmovabl pliant of moutitalna set me straight. The I'lii'n, cuoi niKht winds blew from their chilly altitude, and, biens Heav yen! t litre was no moatjuito, no sand fly there, Next morning we were oft before 6. Up the river and round Its baHln iv e rode all the forenoon, and looked bark from , height to height to the tar picture of the place where we had lodged In. the valley, until the river dodged our gase and hid among the mountainx. I tried to tmprena on my memory the details as . well as the whole, In order to draw upon It In evil,-Inglorious days. And those fine companions, to whom the scene was familiar,' had the remarkable dellca ry to withhold the natural queotlon "What do you think of it?" They pointed out places ana gave Inrorma tlon. but let the tenderfoot think his own thoughts and cherish his own 1m proaalona. ' , , It was out of our way and aside from the bustnena in hand, but the boys decided that 1 muat not go horns and have to admit that there had been any evasions: they must stand me. aa the guide expresed it, "on the top of the world." It was easy enough, to take a lower- road around, but. up yonder was a knoll, the crest of the ttlue Ridge mountains, and wa must take time and endure toll to reach it So we air ragged up a fallow field covered with brown' pebbles and wild clover, let down a gap in a fence of cheat nut rails, rode half a mile along a beaten path through a forest dense with old. giant chestnuts, poplars, maples,. white oaks and : red oaks. : locusts .' and white . pine. and a very swamp - undergrowth of laurel fifteen or' so' feet high. We were following the backbone. of the ridge then, but could not see out in any direction, and, - with the sun straight overhead, tt was almost a twi light on the ground. I describe this because of Its beauty and because of tha lowlander's notion that the me'un- taintops are not fertile. Here was a tropical luxuriance of vegetation, kept rich- and green by frequent showers. The guide knew his bust ness and worked for effect He led to a spot where the unobstructed land scape broke suddenly on the eye from all the four winds. There were the Black Mountalna. where he pointed; yonder was South mountain, yonder Mitchell; on our back track loomed Llnville, and to the left of it Table Rock; there was 'Grandfather,' the Hawk BilL Roan, and so on. Had. the Tompkins ' tower been targe enough to bring into focus -we could have seen It The Creator . was lavish of beauty when He made this . country; for here are met grandeur and sub limity with the little familiar things- old Jtttle friends: our horses stood on and among crabgraML . seeded timothy and crimson clover, beggar-lice, sas safras bushes.-ragweeds, and turkey snout ' The umao had lit its rich red lamp and .the, goldenrvJ bespangled the slopes It - was a pity to - turn away. One feels, In some far-off way, when standing there as did Peter when he said,: t'Let us build Ubern&elea.' ' I From Alta pass we rode backwards on an engine to Spruce Pine. There a- motor cr took us. -The guide, Mr. Gardner, had left us now, and steered his mule back toward Marlon.- From Spruce Pine to Johnson City, Tenn., the' railroad -dogs the . Toe river,, the moat tortuous - stream I ' have ever seen; queesea -right along Its banks, on a ledge blasted out from the tnoun tain aide, and at a breakneck down grade, a bundred feet to the mile, That motor car simply flew, Some of the curves were so quick that it look ed aa If the thing waa bound to leave the track and plunge Into the foam lng current., but It stuck; on, and. the driver ywas 'very nonchalant'.- The breeie it made waa exhilarating, and Imagination could not construct finer scenery than Its con rue led through. The afterglow was richer and stran ger than on the evening at bonon a. It waa weird, like a dream of what Is lovely and unreal. . The . mountains were not precipitous here, but sloped backward softly, clad in radiant green of Interspersed-corn and sward and forest And every curve had new dellfht In store. The river Itself la like a painter's fancy, choked here with rocks and there divided by gras sy islands. - ' ,.-'-- .'.'- .--. -But while, we 'waited on a siding for a train to paaa, night darkened down. The driver lighted his flickering headlight, and we went plunging through the dark . at the same dis tressing speed.- The little lamp- cast Its glimmer hardly a , hundred yards ahead and made monsters of every bunh and tuft of weed. Nobody said a word. Every eye waa strained for ward and every mind fascinated with the daredevil situation. We shot by a summor hotel,' gay with lights and women in white dresses. we shot through a long bridge, aped down the other tide of the river, took a curve and plunged into a canyon. Here the great Smokies on both sides went up abruptly and. It seemed. Interminably. Anyhowi they were so high as to shut not the light, and the place was like the valley of the hod aw of death. As we careered around a Jagged, wall of rock,-right before ua stood a bov. winging a lantern over the track. The driver -stopped aa soon . as he could and waited for the boy to come up. "I thought you might want to know that there are rocks on the track on yan side of the saw mill," he said. That was all that panned. The machine took Its old speed for half a mile, poeaed a dark saw mill, slowed and stopped. There, , Juat , ahead a block of granite as Mg as a man lay with one end on the rallt- The In terpreter laughed, for he knew not what eUe to do. That boy was the only one we met after nightfall, and the incident or nia warning wan all that-had-saved' the. four of ua-from being hurled thirty fwf over the brink to where the river stormed its way among the rocks. "F 1 knew nat boy's name," shivered the interpreter. 'I'd buy 'm a suit o' clothes, coat, trouacr, vea", stockln'a, 'neckytle, an' nhoeal" But we got to Johnson City In' time to crawl on the Southern train, where It stopped at the crow ing, and so made Hrlntol (hat night This story is a mile' too long now. but since we're In, " let's . plow'i fhroueh.
