Ninn ,Z nlf, ze or as M, f' f f 5.22 ERTRUDE Zink rode on her horse, looking for signs of life of the time before Noah and his famous Ark. Frequently she stumbled upon some bleached skull, a relic of Indian wars, and would examine it very carefully to see if it did not possess features like those of the ancient Hittites. Arnold Pearce kept the wagons cluttered up with excess pieces of furniture. He was always making weird looking objects, which he told us we could use in our homes when we finally reached our destination. Everyone suspected that he would be pretty generous about helping us furnish our nests, but that he would be sort of backward about using any of his handiwork in his own domicile. One of our wagons always drew a large crowd of interested women and girls. This was the wagon of Zelpha Bates. She was known far 'and wide for the ecstacy provoking dishes, which she prepared as no one could. - The most matrimon- ially inclined women sought the knowledge of cookery from this master artist, be- cause they were firm believers in that saying, The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. , Karl Cunningham was interested in astronomy. At night, after the rest had crawled into their blankets, he was often found by the guards out looking at the celestial bodies. If anyone wished to know anything about these shining wonders he merely had to mention the name of one and Karl would talk to him for an hour or longer. Besides knowing so much of this science, Karl gladdened every weary heart when he flashed his sunny smile. ' In Nina Cullen, everyone had a good friend and a helpful advisor. She was always cheerful, and showed the very keenest interest in every small happening. Often during the day's travel her clear voice could be heard, singing a vigorous song, which plainly showed the courage with which she faced each day's trials. Carrie Skillman was a puzzle. The younger members of the train were often thrown into spasms by her reproaches, and many of the most courageous men were known to shiver and quake when she reproved them by the wagging of a persuasive finger. In spite of her few rebukes, she was a mighty helpful guide. Her wagon contained numerous books, the contents of which delighted both old and young. When we were sad and longing for peace and quiet, we went to Carrie's wagon and found solitude in the various stories. Oh, it's true that Carrie snapped a little when we became too boisterous, but how soon we learned to know that her snaps were all fake, and that her small body contained a heart of gold. Shirley Feather was a good guide to call upon when a small exploring trip was being arranged. We also relied a great deal upon her when we ran into any Spaniards, because she was indispensible as an interpreter. Tiny Lennie Mae Ledbetter joined the train after it had traveled quite a lar e part of the entire distance. Although she was not as well known as some of the old-timers, she was well liked. The men hovered near her in order to protect her from the least hardship, and the women flocked to her side because she was so sweet. Even though she looked small and helpless, we learned that she was quite capable of managing all of those members of the train who were under her guidance.
