 to pick bunches of the beautiful purple and 

 blue lupines and admire the view, and my 

 sister, in the goodness of her heart, insisted 

 that I ride on the front seat where I could 

 see more. To tell the truth, there were 

 times when I saw nothing at all, for my 

 eyes were tightly closed with fright. Lov- 

 ing the mountains as I do, I always accept 

 any invitation for a mountain drive, and 

 always shall, but the way the drivers in 

 the West take the mountain curves fills me 

 with awe at their daring. I don 't see how 

 they can be sure they are not going to meet 

 another machine coming toward them 

 around the curve, with disastrous results to 

 one or both, and even without a collision it 

 would be so easy for a machine to shoot 

 off into space. We climbed so rapidly that 

 we could sometimes see one or more sec- 

 tions of the roail which we had just tra- 

 versed below us, and we twisted around the 

 hills until I had no idea of direction and 

 little idea of whether we were going up or 

 down. Several times I feebly remonstrated 

 with my brother-in-law for driving so fast 

 down a dangerous grade, only to be in-

 changes from a very steep grade to one 

 less steep, or because of the steeper hill at 

 the side of the road, it is always difficult
