some experience on returning. While
she was In Pendleton a heavy rain
fell which made traveling In a car
very hard. But Miss Hturdivant not
being easily discouraged, started for

reached the summit ot the Yellow

foot of snow. Here the car refused
to go further and, while debating
what course to pursue, a lone horse
man rode up and she asked him If
he could assist her. He kindly said
yes. and having a long lariat on his
saddle, he soon had the rope fastened
to the car and around the saddle horn
