published the news to other na
tives, which played havoc on the
way. It made no difference to
thn others that this man had hecn
of such service to us, I had given
more than the usual wage and
they expected what they never
received. We had a tiresome walk
that day, the views were not no
lovely and we had left the rice
terraces and it meana just forg
ing ahead, making time. The only
interesting occurrence was the
wading of two torrents of streams
had to be done my dear. Three
days from Baguio, the solos of my
golf shoes became disjoined from
the body of the shoe and I had
to walk liko a high stepping
horse in order to keep that flap
on the remaining piece of leath
er. Oh, it was maddening, made M)
much effort to walk. When we
got to camp 88, Just 45 miles
from Baguio, we met an acquaint
ance we had made In Bontoc nnd
the said gentleman was worried
how I would get home, even half
way. There were no horses In
this neighborhood. The shoe did
not worry me particularly, I had
had so many aches and pains, this
seemed very inconsequential, but
he fussed a great deal and ending
binding up the shoes and cover
ing the lot with his stockings. I
looked lika an old gouty woman
on the way. I swear to you I
did not see anything more allur
ing in the liquid line than the
jade green diamond streams tu
the canyons. How lovely they
were and how tantalizing. Per
haps 2000 feet below, these
streams dashing over the white
rocks, forming iridescent pools
and we hot from our walking,
could think of nothing more per
fect than a dip in the water. 1
never saw mountains with more,
cascades, perhaps not so high, or
as much volume as our water
falls, but every crevice lurked
with water and every stream had
to be waded. What cares the Igo
by tearing up his oilcloth and rot with his bare legs about ankle
deep water. It serves as a cooling
lotion for his knotty feet. But to
walk with wet feet only aids blis

successful ones. I certainly be
came disgusted with my feet be
fore the end of the trail was
reached. From Halgl I was able
to get a pretty good horse, Mr. H.
rode down the mountain with me
and all he had to do to make the
horses go was to apeak to them
in an ordinary tone of voice, then
they would fly, but juat see m
alone, if he happened to be in the
rear. My horse would begin to
atumble and could not possibly
get over rocky paths without my
guidance )f pulling the reins nnd
incidentally coar ing and pushing
him besides. These horses cer
tainly know how to fake. Lillian
got along fine, excepting boing
very tired, but I think eh0 was
remarkable on the entire trip for
one unaccustomed to walking.
She did not have a blister. The
morning we rode ahead of her,
before the four separated, L.
went on by herself, thinking we
would catch up quickly, we rode
all the way to Bontoc without
seeing her and when we got to
the rest house made inquiries and
she had not appeared. Wo became
alarmed about her and Mr, Hard
ener went to the constabulary to
have an officer scout the country
for her. He finally got trace of
her, it seern she took the wrong
trail going to a place called
Baunce, instead of Bontoc, the fail
ometer post having "B" on it and
she did not realize her mistake
until she got : this little town
8 miles away, 8 miles return and
then had to walk to Bontoc. Ye
Gods, the poor girl. We got the
only car,-and the first one ever in
this country, and rode DacK tin
we found her, hot, tired and
dripping wet as the afternoon
rain had come on before she could
find shelter. I lost five pounds on
the trip. No wonder, I do not see
how I even weighed t pounas.
Besides the walking, I had no ap
petite, the food was repulsive to
me. We had ohickens and eggs
three times a day for ten days.
Well, anyway, it was a magnifi
cent trip, I would not miss it for
a million dollars and would not
do it again for like sum just
now. It was always my desire to
go, Mrs. 8. staid here alone while
we were gone and l tains: sne ana
Montague, he in Vigan, and ahe

in the rain which we did not.
