A DAY AND NIGHT ON MOUNT ADAMS By Walter Albion Squires. r I 'O the nature student a glacier-clad mountain is a source ?*- of never-failing interest and inspiration. Whether he sees it catching the first tints of the coming day, or lighted by the sunset glow, or lying- cold and still under the midnight stars, it has for him a call and a challenge.

At last the time came when I was free to attempt the scaling of the vast and rugged old volcanic cone. Guides and riding animals were to be had, but I chose to go alone. I knew from former experiences that Nature yields her best to us when we are unhindered by human companionship. As for riding horses and pack animals that stray away at night and lead you a weary chase ere thev are recovered, I wanted none.
