In the Sierra 



ibove : " This man, you know, came down 

 out of these huge, trackless mountains, you 

 know, to find his friend Professor Butler 

 here, the very day he arrived ; and how did 

 ie know he was here ? He just felt him, he 

 lys. This is the queerest case of Scotch far- 

 sightedness I ever heard of/' etc., etc. While 

 my friend quoted Shakespeare : " More 

 "hings in heaven and earth, Horatio, than 

 ire dreamt of in your philosophy/' "As the 

 >un, ere he has risen, sometimes paints his 

 image in the firmament, e'en so the shadows 

 >f events precede the events, and in to-day 

 ilready walks to-morrow." 



Had a long conversation, after dinner, 

 over Madison days. The Professor wants 

 me to promise to go with him, sometime, 

 on a camping trip in the Hawaiian Islands, 

 while I tried to get him to go back with 

 me to camp in the high Sierra. But he 

 jays, " Not now." He must not leave the 

 General ; and I was surprised to learn they 

 are to leave the valley to-morrow or next
