snowshoes going down that decline j
leading to Ganes. The crust, how- (
ever, was hard, making thfe'Qse of !
snowshoes impracticable. To top it (
all off, with a shoe ih each itahd, he
got a premature, unexpected start—j
and -just had to keep on going, fcover-!

posture. The descent might,*for him, ,
be termed somewhat disastrous, for a!
portkur.’of his wearing apparel ;re- ! >
ceived rough treatment. - He,.* how- |
ever, retained a smile and his usual'
'excellent front as he- reached theJ
bottom of the: trail; about- twh- and a
half miles from home.*
