If the reader of this has never been
in a mountain thunderstorm at un ele­
vation of 7,000 feet or ui«e he has
missed an experience that will doubt­
less should be ever pass through it add
several gray hairs to bis beud. To me
a thunderstorm back east held no ape-
clal terrors, ami frequently I have lieen
out lii such a demonstration without
feeling any especial nervousness. Up
here on the Rocky mountains things
ure different, and I confess now to live
in awful, ubject terror of a thunder­
storm, especially at night. In my tent.
1 suffer this terror notwithstanding
the fact that so far tbe storms have in
every Instance except one gone around
or beneath us without even raining
enough to wet the ground. But it Is tlie
"going around and beneath” that gets
on to iny nerves. In tlie first place Im­
agine what it Is to tie one and one-half
miles nearer a rip roaring thunder­
storm than one is at Pittsburg. There
you have occasional Hashes of lightning;
here It Is one continuous, dazzling,
awe inspiring performance. The light­
ning strikes, too, for It Is no uncommon
thing during a storm to hear the rocks
splintering and cracking where one es­
pecially vigorous bolt has landed.
Add to tills nerve racking exhibit the
most awful detonations of thunder that
you I'lin Imagine and a “straight blow­
ing” wind tiiat sometimes makes tlie
flaps of your tent play a ragtime mel­
ody, and you have some idea of a
mountain thunderstorm. The thunder
is worse than the sound of a mighty
battle. It bangs up against the nioun
tain side and reverberates and rolls off
into one ear splitting concussion after
another until you, lying quaking in
your tent, fully believe that the next
“boom” will split the mountain and
valley in twain and land you in China
or some other seaport town.
I lay one night and with chattering
teeth counted five distinct thunder­
storms come up to the edge of the pla­
teau on which my tent stands and
eaeli time go through with an electrical
performance tiiat would give a stone
man a dumb ague, and through it all
not a cupful of water fell on my tent.
Later on in the night, when I liad
about regained something like my
usual majestic calm of mind, it began
to rain steadily, and the thunder anil
lightning didn't even whisper. They
had doubtless gone off down the can-
you, scaring some other poor tenderfoot
half out of liis wits. These electrical
displays are not seemingly much dread­
ed by the people who live in high alti­
tudes. They comfortingly declare tiiat
a tornado or cyclone is unknown in tlie
mountains. But sometimes these moun­
tain storms go off through a canyon to
tlie foothills and the plains. Then
there is something doing. Pittsburg

Are you a lover of nature? Then

lover of nature who could have taken
the trip over the California Northwest­
ern Railway just after tbe last big
storm would have reveled in the beau­
ties of the scenery that unfolded to you
as the train crept aroumi curves and
over bridges, through the shadow» of
tlie tunnels and out iuto the sunlight
where all nature seemed to wear a
smiling face. Past the Russian river,
m the most tempestuous mood Polly
lias ever seen it, usually trilling along
m the eveu tenor of its way, except for
the little eddies that whirl angrily over
tlie rocka and crags occasionally, but
this time all tlie brooks and streams in
the country were overflowing their
banks and rushing headlong to Join
tile big river, and tlie latter seethed and
boiler!, a raging torrent, carrying drift­
wood before it and piling it up in little
coves biglier tiian a man’s head. In
some places the current was so swift
and deep tiiat it would have been an
impossibility to ford it. There were
treacherous places in this great river;
to the uninitiated it seemed to be
rippling along in the most peaceful
way imaginable, but “still waters run
deep,” and there wasa}suit up force un­
der the gentle surface that would carry
death and destruction before it. A
good deal like some peopL’s lives,
thought Polly, fair to behold, and the
ty|>e, as far as appearances were con­

evil trio that battles faith, hope ami

you will never regret seeing it at its
beet, which is right after a big storm.
But you say you are afraid of land­
slides and of the curves and twists and
turns of this road from Cloverdale up.
It is all nonsense, for never was a road
lietter managed; there are fewer acci­
dents oil the California Northwestern
Railway than any road in the Htate.
There is more care taken for the jier-
soual comfort of the traveler and the
little courtesies shown that help to
make travel a delight. There is noth­

of being thrown ojien by some cold
and livefied minion, disclosed as it
turned on its binges a gentleman of
slight frame and student-like black
whiskers who apparently had hap­
pened to be near at hand.
“I have here a work which ought to
be in every «w ell equipped library," be­
gan tlie caller. The black whiskered
gentleman made as if to close the disir.
This did not surprise the other, and he
proceeded as from force of habit:
“It is a history of the Revolutionary
war, the best written and most author­
itative now on the market, Lodge's

The man at the door seemed less in

spirits went up like tbe thermometer in

the work was extravagant. There was
no book of its kind in the same class
with it. Everybody knew that its an
thor was perhaps the most scholarly
statesman of the day.
“You are the kind of man 1 ought tc
help along," murmured tlie gentleman
seemingly to himself. “You may send
me your history.”
And the book agent, wondering great­
ly on tbe mysterious force that had
been evoked, nevertheless retained pres­
ence of mind enough to poise a pencil
