DOWN THE MOUNTAIN
A man directed ua to the trail
that led down the mountain side
and We bravely started down I
shall never forget that night
Soon daylight was all gone and
we had to depend on the moon-
light to see the trail When 1
think of it now it makes me
shudder How fortunate for us
that - the moon was shining:
How fortunate that all of us were
not killed or crippled or lost in
the mountains! Coming over
the mountains down an unknown
trail the last and most difficult
part of the way after night fall!
What a risk it was! But ignor-
ance of what was before us gave
us courage for the undertaking
On we went in blissful ignorance
meeting new surprises at every
turn Sometimes the trail led
almost straight down for thirty
or forty feet where we would
slide down clinging to the bushes
beside the trail Sometimes we
would miss the trail for a little
ways and wander about until we
found it again Sometimes walk
ing erect sometimes sliding and
clinging to the sides of the moun-
tain for two long long hours we
descended the mountain that we
had expected to descend in fif-
teen minutes at most At times
we could almost give up feeling
just like lying down and having
a good cry doubting if we would
ever be able to reach the bottom
but always we would think the
bottom must be just ahead and
we would push on At length
tired out completely exhausted
every nerve and muscle all
aquiver at eight o'clock we
reached the foot of the mountain
- at the terminal station Two
hours before wq "would have
ipurned a ride down themoun-
’? tain at fifty cents apiece but long
before we reached the bottom we
would have' given many times
that Sum for a safe quick land-
ing at the foot of the mountain
It was a hard lesson but we
learned it well Though the
mountains looked small and dis-
appointing at the first we learn-
ed they were about the biggest
works of God we had yet seen
It took just such experiences as
we had for us to comprehend
their greatness Do we think
$500 for the round trip up Pike's
Peak or $100 for the round trip
up Mt Mahitou is unreasonable?
No far from it Both trips are
cheap as dirt and money well
spent In the morning no man
could have told us these things
Even in the evening when we
stood on Mt Manitou looking at
the twinkling lights of the cities
nestling in the valley at our feet
if some man had told us it was
a terrible descent calculated to
try well the powers of a strong
fresh man and one that would
take two hours to go down we
would have branded him as a
man void of reason or on an
equality with a lunatic But we
learned it all How valuable the
lesson has been to us! As for
myself a man with a wooden
leg I could not have walked
another mile for the price of
diamonds The others seemed
to be just as tired as I Little six
year old Zollars went through it
all and never a whimper Part
of the time he led the way down
the mountain and we could hear
his voice calling out reassuringly
to the rest of us behind His
grit and bravery lent courage to
he feat of us
