THE NORMAL RECORD. marked, "What an enjoyable drive this is, Mr. Rawlston. I am forced to believe, however, that the greater part of the delight lies not so much in the natural beauties of the driveway as in the agreeable company." Miss Stuart gazed at the linen lap robe and fumbled with her dainty gold watch chain. She did not see her gallant smile. "Ha! Ha! You flatter me, Miss Stuart, indeed you do. Ha ! " "Oh, no, I am quite sincere; you must not judge me an idol of the Blarney Stone. Do you intend to remain here long? " "That depends upon the kind of time I have. My time's my own for a whole year." " Isn't that fine ! We can have such fun! I suppose you cannot endure to stay from home a very great length of time, for surely you must have left a lady fair. But forgetting her at present, what do you think of our girls? " "Miss Edna—ahem, pardon me—Miss Stuart." "Oh, that's all right, call me Edna; it seems as if you knew me." "Then, Miss Edna, as you have compelled me, I must tell you that I admire them very much for their beauty, brilliancy and manners. But there is one—one maiden who surpasses all the others in all her virtues and beauty as the light of the sun surpasses the glow of the firefly." "Now, Mr. Rawlston, I think you really mean to tell me of such a beautiful girl when I'm right here." Here Edna managed to pout real prettily. "Why, my dear, can you not understand that I did not live until I met you, until I gazed on your saintly face. Now I realize the meaning of my poor fluttering heart, the electric thrill that fills my soul whenever I see you. Now, I know that what I thought was fancy is more than that; Edna, I love you ! "Fred !" The horses walked on under the glistening leaves of the tall poplars, and as they tramped in measure, the glimmering moonbeams lit the down-turned face of Rawlston and the pouting lips of Edna. ******** "Well, Jane, of all the geese, the Dude is actually in love with me; get me the candy, quick." ******** "What's the matter, Rawlston, you look as if you'd been hypnotized?" "Jim, I think I have. Of all the fools I ever saw Edna Stuart beats them all ! Get me a physician, please." Our Trip to Cinder Cone. GARRISON C0STAR. Training Department. /5)INDER CONE is an extinct volcano Vu about one hundred miles north of Chico, It is so called because it is a small mountain of cinders about one thoasand feet high in the shape of a cone. It is estimated that this volcano has not been extinct more than eighty years or less than sixty. Some of the older Indians around Prattville can remember when this volcano was smoking and throwing out fire. Geologists can tell how long it has been since the volcano became extinct from the trees which are around there. The trees on the edge of the cinders are cut down and the rings counted. This tells how old the trees are. and that is estimated to be the age of the extinct volcano, One morning early in August, our party consisting of Mr. Drake, our guide, mama, papa, my brother and myself, started for Cinder Cone. We had to ride horseback because it was ten miles to the volcano, and the trails were so narrow and steep that a wagon could not possibly get over. The first mile or two of our trip was the roughest because we had to go almost straight up (?) over a mountain. Every little way the horses would stop and rest, and it took us an hour or two to get over it. We went on for six or seven miles through ever-changing scenery until, on rounding a turn, we had our first view of Cinder Cone rising in a black cone about two miles away. The trees began to get thinner, and we now came to within the limit of the cinders which surround the cone. These cin- ( Continued on Page Tbirteen j
