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

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

It is all nonsense, for never was a road

“I have here a work which ought to

This did not surprise the other, and he
proceeded as from force of habit:

no book of its kind in the same class
with it. Everybody knew that its an

statesman of the day.
“You are the kind of man 1 ought tc

seemingly to himself. “You may send
