"KIT CJLRSON - Avenger"
CHAPTER IIHI -tit's
Taos men ware weary of
Fremont's strict army methods.' It
was lata in September now and very
stormy. It would be a bad winter,
the seasoned scouts said, looking at
the Rockies that the Indians called
'Vie Shininf Mountains." Many of
them had been west, and balked at
tho thought of the passes, evil
enough in summer, impenetrable la
winter. ; '".:
"Why, well be blocked with sev
enty feet of snow," Basil Lajeu
nesse protested to Fremont.
" Fremont was white-lipped.- "Ner
ertheleBsylgo.' Kit reasoned with him.
Basil 4a right. Lieutenant We
know these mountains. We've
trapped la them."
Til show you mountaineers,'
snapped Fremont, "that X can go
where I choose to go.
Kit looked at his men the Car-
eon men. . t"'-v
"Well go If you make us," said
they. , - --- -
Tm going with Lieutenant Fre
mont," Kit said. "I can't ask you
to go.
He would not urge them. Some
had families who would Deed their
protection this hard winter..
: T11 put every man under arrest
who refuses to go, said Fremont.
"Arrest ua then,"- said - Oliver
Wirrins.
"I declare you all under axresti"
stormed Fremont.
- Fremont set oyer them Serjeant
White, the unfortunate officer Oli
ver had thrashed at Fort St. Vrain.
Fremont ordered them ahead up the
first mountain pass. in White's
charge, The Indian trail was thick
. with brush and the baggage could
not go through.
- Fremont sent word to the prison
. era, "Return and help clear the
- road." 1
."Clear it yourself." they sent
back In answer.
- Fremont and Kit stared in dismay
. trp the pass. - Miles ahead the men
ef . Taos were joyously galloping
. their horses up the pass, while far
behind the poor Sergeant struggled
, to keep up with his exuberant pris-
i oners.
Fremont gave up- the attempt to
" discipline Kit's wild mountaineers
and ordered them back to Taos.
"It broke us all op." Oliver re
ported later in Taos, "to .leave Kit
to the whims of Fremont, but we
. couldnt go any further with Fre
They left with neither food nor
. blankets. Kit did not worry about
them. He knew Carson men. They
would reach Taos
Kit led the rest of the party along
the Oregon trail to the Snake River,
along the Columbia, to tbe Dalies.
That winter they fought starvation,
- icy wind and snow. Kit remained
at the Dalles, repairing equipment
. and making saddles, while Fremont
.went by horse and canoe to Van
couver and returned to the camp at
the Dalles.
Fremont had fulfilled his mission.
; lie had explored the Oregon Trail
aad Oregon. - His notes were teem
ing, his coast-to-coast maps In com-
tletion. His work was finished and
e might turn home to Washing
ton, the triumphs of the conqueror,
the love of his adored and beautiful
Jessie. And Kit, to Josef a and Taos
and his dreams ef a home.
But these two talked together.
"Calif ornia is like a paradise,
Kit said to Fremont, as he had to
Cutter Tears before.
Fremont felt the blood quicken in
. Lis heart. " ' rir
"I am ready for anything!'' said
Fremont. "Even California."
Their glances met Carson's and
Fremont's. Their eyes challenged.

Germany's Threat
NEW YORK, March 2H)
Profit realizing baited a promis
ing stock market rally today and
losses replaced gains in many sec
tions of the list. While worry over
Germany's threat was much less
in evidence than during last week,
traders maintained a cautions at

But California!
Fremont's thoughts closed on the
enchanted name. -
He had no right to think of Cali
fornia. Fremont had his orders and
being a good soldier had fulfilled
them alL California belonged to
Mexico and what right had he. an
officer of the United States Army, In
that Latin territory! This snowy
Christmas or 1843, in the wilds of
Oregon, Fremont came to a decision
that would change the face of the
world.
We will press through to Call-
fornia."
Kit was willing. Kit might quail
at a boat but nothing on land could
faxe him. After all, had not his
stories of California fired Fremont
I have a friend in the Sacra
mento Valley" Kit said, "named
Sutter. I told him about California
and he josied ever the Rockies.
hear he's built a regular palace on
tbe Sacramento River.
"We will call on your friend Sut
ter," said Fremont with decision.
And he was off In a flurry of snow
with his strange, strong band of
twenty-five, youthful adventurers.
Americans, Germans, French-Cana
dians, the colored boy Jacob, and
several Indiana. They had one hun
dred and four mules and Indian
ponies, the latter purchased from a
rich Oregon chieftain who owned
tea thousand horses..
"We are ready." said Fremont.
"for whatever peril or privation
may lie ahead."
The beginning; of the year 1S44
found the Fremont men toiling
tnrougn snow and log above Kla
math Lake. Black silk handker

Erotected their eyes from snow
lindnesB. The icy edges of drift cut
their animal's legs to the bone. The
back trail was neaped with their de
serted baggage. Through pine for
eats black as night, through snow
and storm, over buried trails and
frozen wastes and icy steeps of the
mountain chain, they struggled, led
by a Klamath Indian lured into
guiding them with presents of fine
blankets and scarlet cloth.
"Tah-ve!" the naked shiverina-
Indiana ox . Klamath Lake bad
warned the explorers, making the
sign of deep snow, telling the white
men . act to enter the mountain
passes.
But Helo. their guide, had as
sured them that beyond the moun
tains was California, land of tall
grass and much sun.
"These things I have seen." he as
sured Kit, with Indian words and
hand talk, "with the whites of my
own eyes." ,
But as the snow deepened Melo
showed increasing fear. Evidently
he had never braved these moun
tains in winter. At night when he
slept in a small tent, a white man
slept on either side of Melo, and Kit
slept outside the doorway in the
snow to keep their guide a prisoner.
Melo would sit in his fine blanket
of blue and scarlet that had bribed
him to this undertaking, like an
Indian in mourning. :
"Toa no get over." he lamented.
"I leave my owa people. I come see
whites not die with whites."
Then he would lift the edge of his
blanket, peer about at white snow
and : black J forest, and rock in
lamentation, r : ,
The Fremont men toiled en. At
last no food was left, not even tal
low to stem their hunger. One
one they killed and ate the starving
mules. with reluctance they killed
and ate in silence a beloved dog that
had wandered into their camp some
months before with a rifle ball in its
side, from no one knew where.

his finery by the fire. Fremont, pit

tne splendid scouts were helpless.
"We are only certain." Kit said.
"that beyond lies California.'
And to cheer the others, Kit talk
ed of California, while, afoot, on
crude skin and wood snowshoes such
as the Indians had worn for cen
turies, they dug paths in the snow
with wooden shovels, felled trees
and made sledges, and all but car
ried the floundering animals up the
icy trails. - He told of the magie .
world he had seen as a boy, when
first he rode into the Mexican prov
ince of California with Ewing
Young. Kit told of beaver and .sal
mon and otter, and flowers opening
in sunlight under a snow-tipped
Sierra. He told of deer and elk and
bear to be had for the shooting and
baked to juicy brownness over
manzanita fires. He told of sweet
berries and wild grapes until he
spurred their weary feet over the
ice toward the promised land.
Emaciated, footsore, frozen, near
ly blind, in February they reached
a high white peak at the summit of
the pasa and Kit cried out at the
sight of another mountain far away.
"There it is! Fifteen years since
I've seen it, but I recall it as plain
aa if it were yesterday.'
Between that remembered peak
and this cheerless height lay the val

Fremont cheered them en.
Through the spyglass he could see a
ong fiat green valley where a river
flowed.
'Think of it, men, the promised
valley I Why, it's summer there, and
Sutter will greet us with open arms,
with fires and food, beds to sleep on,
wine to drink. We are victorious.'
It seemed to the exhausted men
they could close their eyes, reach
out and touch this valley. They did
not note the black, broken passes
tying between and the menacing
danger ox tbe wintry mountains
fencing California from Oregon,
They spoke only of Calif ornia.
They struggled on, over miles ef
broken, icy ridges, burning stumps
in the deep snow to -clear resting
places for their exhausted animals,
while the men drew the sledges by
band. Charles Towne went, mad
and muttered strangely as he
worked.
Fremont and Carson led the war.
With axe and maul they forced their
way through the snow. They earns
to a river flowing like black ice be
tween sheer walls of granite Kit
sprang lithely from rock to rock.
Fremont leaped after him. The
rock was ice-coated and his mocca
sins slipped from it aa from glass.
The Pathfinder shot down into the
icy torrent.
The second he Struck the surface
Kit was after him. They fought the
current together and clutched des
perately at the ice linins- the river.
Kit caught at the green moss
frosting the granite. For an in
stant it held, long enough to enable
him to lunge upward and catch at
a crack in the rock. Fremont was
clinging to his buckskin collar. A
brief second they rested and their
glanees met ever the torrent.
After this moment." that dance
promised, "comrades forever I"
There would never again be a mo
ment's doubt between these strange
ly assortea companions.
' And when at last the Fremont
party straggled down through the
last of the snow and saw trass
again, they nearly wept in thanks
giving. For grass meant life to their
horses and their own safety. And
after the forests of black pine they
greeted like old friends the gentle
green of oats. . , :
r And beyond, only, a few miles
away, lay the principality of Johaa
Sutter, the leading American ia
Mexican California.
They could not dream what new
torment awaited them in these pas

Lamb Quadruplets
And Tnplet8!Art3
Reported in Polk
DALLAS When It comes to
record lamb production Carl De
Armond of the Surer section
would probably take the prise. De
Armond has a purebred Lincoln
ewe that produced quadruplets, all
of which were saved. Three other
purebred ewes of the same breed
produced triplets. All are alive.
" Triplets are unusual and quad
ruplets are much out of the ordi
nary with sheep. The - average
number of lambs per ewe usually
ranges irom one to two.
