The Ascent of Chief Mountain 



returned to the ranch in the St. Mary's Val- 

 ley, Billy, who had preceded us, met us with 

 the mien of the prophet who is denied by his 

 own, and told us that his cousins, the Bloods 

 from across the border, had suggested that, 

 when next he returned from a trip to the 

 range, he should bring them a likelier story 

 than that he had climbed the east face of the 



Chief Mountain.
