OUR forefathers, moved by dis- content, blazed a trail to the West. XVe of today, also, have the desire to make Daths 'into new and strange places. THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY All were ready for the starting signal. The women had given their farevvells, and with tear-stained faces, were seated among the girls and children in the Covered wag- ons. The older boys had rounded up the cattle, and the men had set- tled themselves in their saddles, The signal! XYhips cracked!
