There was a pause and some one out of the darkness asked, as the guide knew some one would ask: "Why Is 1 hut?" A chuckle came from the custodian of ihe gasoline lamp as he prepared to lead 4 he ay to some new wonder: "A man went down Iheah last year and be brought up two feet." Ignoring the gtjpan occasioned by Ihe atrocity, the guide led the way lo a spring li-re venturesome souls enjoyed the experience of drinking from basin of water 200 feet below me ground. "This might to be called Bird Spring." said the, guide when he had his party within the sound, of his voice. "Why?" "Because there are so many swallows." And that was that. A Guide of Another Sort.

In Yosi mite Valley Is a guide of another sort. His surname is Wilson and be has been a guide there for many years. Once he escorted small parties through the mountain trails and some of the greatest of American explorers know him and call him friend. Now his job is to sit on the lecturer's seat of a. sight sceine, automobile and tell the story of Yosemlte to the visitors.

A slight, lameness may account for the less romantic (although perhaps more profitable) position from which he talks. is a little disappointing to learn that the lameness is due to a skidding auinmobile on a wide road Instead of to a fall from a mountain trail or a hand to hand combat with a bear. Wilson combines I net soul of a poel wilh the occupation of a guide. He has a 'hard time seemingly, In persuading his tongue to act as the tongue of a guide hen it wants to net ns the tongue of a poet. Thu poet In him worships the 'God of the Great Out Doors." and tells him' I hot that God put all of the beauties of nature on the earth for men to admire and to Inspire men.

A Poel al Times. The poel In him tells him lo enlist every visitor in the love for ihe crags and the waterfalls lest, In sime unhappy day. Half Dome may be torn down to make granite tombstones or the slogan nf 11 chewing gum manufacturer may be thrown across the broadsides o. El iVrpitan. However, obedience In the traditions of his calling of guide warns him thai In everv party are those who must know Dial one cliff when looked at In the proper manner.

Is a giant replica of nursing bottle and that the disooloratb.ui on another rock Is an (iilniost) pcrleei outline map of the Fulled Stales Florida, Lower Call-lornia and all. A picturesque guide is Leo Leo of Gallup. New Sl.ira. Just go to Gallup and nidi the first man you nice! for 1 Ii is unnecessary -to know his surname ror no one In Gallup or the gr.al countryside knows him by anything save his first name, if you inns know it. however, it is Lai der.

The Pel I'ect Cowhuy. Leo Is the perfect cowboy in appearance. As a mailer of fad, he dees most of his guiding in an n-l his neighbors declare I hat lie has nut an equal as a mountain driver and that from those who are mountain drivers is compliment enough. Leo's garb Is thi.t -'live chaps which are hard.y desirable In an 1, ut omoblle- of the cowboy of Zane Gieyi novels and 11.1 western movies. He wears a soinbrei 11.

He wears, at all a silk Around his neelt a gay silk kerchii is knotted. His vest is ever unbuttoned. His trousers Hie -wvll there isn'l much lha! is picturesque about trousers nblalnable in Gallup's leading stores, in one upper vest pocket he wears a fountain pen. That's Leo. You'll know him la Gallup for be its one man who believes in living up to Hp- traditions of the wild west, I vou see his auinmobile a simple little Pierre-Arrow you'll s-'e the rifle holster snapped lo the hood.

Leo has spent many years trading with the Indians and he knows the lore of the count rv side better than any of his fellow escorts. He knows the Indian's faults and the Indian's virtues. He knows Easterners, too, for has guided many of Ihem. and he knows the things they want to know. Fashionable Bar Harbor, Sept.

These property owners and rent payers point out the fact that the head of a- large Manhattan depart, ment store vis.it il Flatbush recently with a view of determining the advisability of establishing a branch department store there, and hen he found that there was hut one cross-lown line, thai of Church he daily refused to consider the department store unkss better crossiown facilities were piovided. The East Flatbnshites that the luck of transit crosstown Is detrimental to Iheir section and also glands in the way of many important improve-tut nts as well as iw property valuations. The Kings Highway residents anil business people are practically us-sured of bus service and I lie civic bodies of that have approved a line running through Kings Highway.

The proposed route of a line reaching to East Flatbush would also be of great benefit to the residents of middle Bono Park and Bensonhiirst. The majority of residents have ex. pressed themselves in favor of a bus line because It would not mean as much noise as a trolley line would make and would assure more rapid transit from point to point. The hoard of directors of the Flatbush Chamber of Commerce will lend all the aid possible to the East Flatbush residents lo bring about transit relief. It is not belied much opposition will be i along the proposed rote.

are very ninth alike. You'll Hud that the man who tells, you all about the homes of the. millionaires In Manhattan as seen from a "rubberneck" wagon lias vei I much the same ideas, the samel outlook on life as the more pictur-i esque individual who guides you 1 through the gloom of a Mammoth; Cave or identifies the mountains In the wilderness of Colorado. A great deal has been wrillen about America's scenery, but mighty little, has been-, written about the men who make it possible for those who write the books lo give approximately the correct names 10 the things they se. The true guide worships at the altar of the god "Name." Every thing must have-a name.

It Is as essential from the standpoint of the guide who takes his profession se riously that he must know lh-j' names of the tilings he points out as it is that he must know the alti tude of eacli crag and the depth of each "bottomless pit" or the number of gallons per minute which tumbles down in each waterfall. The true guide is a literalisl. H- thinks In terms of exact quantities. Knows Exact Figures. I.jtf the visitor rave.

If he will, over the beauties of the prospect, the grandeur of a mountain range, the awe inspiring depth of the canyon. That Is his privelege, but for the guide it Is sufficient to know thai yonder cliff is the second highest mountain in the State and thut several millions of dollars worth of ihit, or that kind of ore have been taken from Its broad sides and honeycombed Inwards. It may be thai the guide, having conquered his first feeling of astonishment and bewilderment al the beautiful' scenes which contribute to his livelihood, has given up trying to put his feeling in words. For Uiose who ran appreciate Hie beauty, it is there to see. For those who chu-nol, words cannot help.

A Snow-i-lad Mountain. One Colorado mountain pushes Its snow-crowned, head far Into Ihe blue sky. Meeting snow makes sireams. mere threads in the distance, which tumble down sleep cliffs, and are whipped Into delicate mist by the winds as they drop over the sides of precipices. At lie foot is a mighty chasm, lis sides covered with tirs and pines.

An Eastern girl visitor saw the mountain as Ihe motorcar in which she was riding turned one of Hie sharp curves which characterize the knife-edge roads. For a moment she was silent. Then she exclaimed: "Gosh!" Her companions laughed and she joined in the laugh al the inadequacy of term. Bui the tcuide didn'l laugh. II-knew, for he had long been under the spell of the mountain, how inadequate were any words lo de.scriiie the scene.

One Coloradan. a business man who volunteered with a number of his friends to help a party of Easi-erners through a couiury. innjestic In its beauty Inn only this summer easily accessible lo tourists, made ft confession lha! showed thai he felt somewhat the same way about things. "When 1 first came oul here," he said. "1 Hied to describe the country.

In Mammoth Cave the b-ading guide is a negro youth. Seemingly he had been brought up in the cave and folks who know that enormous bole In the ground declare that he knows every inch of iis murky passageways. "This heah." said Ihe guide, holding his gasolyie lantern over pit in the floor of the cavern, "is ti deepest pit In this hoah part of the cave, it used to he 41 feet deep but It ain't feet deep any more. It's only 47 fee deep." on Aug. 23 Mrs.
