Cbc timing our ; im-y. always :n a walk. the sun was very Lot. My horse fell :: his knees and broke my paper Japanese parasol. My Eat would nt stay on ar.! I tied it at my saddle-bow and tied my veil ■.-r my head. But one don’t care for appear ances on such a trip and I really didn’t get as ladiy tanned as ?- the others. I forget to say that M.ss B. and Mrs. E. the elder, hid their horses led also. At one point we looked down into a deep gorge at the foot of which was a small stream, the Brook Cberith. and a spot was pointed out where Elijah was fed by the ravens I Kings 17 ;3 ' A monastery marks the spot. Going down the last long hill, my horse having fallen to his knees twice, he was smooth shod.) I dismounted. not oaring to risk further danger, and walked down the steep hill. At the foot we turned aside from the main road to visit Elisha’s fountain II Kings 2. > I shall always remember the Brook Cberith. The first time I crossed it on stepping stones with the assistance of the boy leading the horse. The se. &d crossing was too wide and the water too deep. I had fallen behind the rest of the perty Me at the sM7.«_w. Oue of the muieteers bail stopped to let his donkey drink The little dookey had a broad pack on his

back composed of baggage, valises, Ac., covered with a piece of canvass. The man set me on the donkey, astride the pack, insisting that I sh >uld ride that wav or I'd fall off in the water, and I crossed easily. I put my dress down over my feet and you could hardly tell I was astride. So I continued, in my barehead. with the veil . over my face, with my escort, one leading the d nkey. the o''..er riding the horse. Preseutlv Go rge, the dragon.au. came galloping ;a y to lok after me. The muleteer. Essy. said something to him in Arab: and he laughed and repeated to me that , he said I 1-xked like a muleteer going along to take care of the horse-an : donkeys. We were quite merry and -- it - ■ ’ ' the site of ancient Jericho and the fountain whose waters Elisha sweetened. The others were already there and I alighted before I g : up to tire:::, so they wouldn’t laugh at me. We ’ tasted the water, which was gxd. and now furnishes the supply fbr modern Jerich which stands on the site of ancient Grigri From there to the village, another mile.

Tne next nrorning we made an early start : n tbe return to Jerusalem. But Miss B. and I had >•: return t tn- I. rses as they were better f. r us to climb the mountains. And mine did very well indeed. Never stumbled. H.- fresh shod shoes were worn a little and tbe I vng rides had worn out h_’< friskiness. We stopped at tbe "Good Samaritan Inn” to rest a half hour and went on to the i *lnn cf the Apostles Fountain" for lunch. It was i verv hot then. Starting again at one i o’e. :• kwe went on t< the village of Beiliatit am. Lazarus' »■.<—■.). We left the roaa and took a path and had a . very steep climb. As we climbed tbe

last ascent we bad a beautiful view of the Judean Mountains, the Jordan, the Dead Sea. the mountains of Moab, with Mt. Nebo, the highest, and Mt. Pisgah blue in the distance. We stopped and walked about the Mt. of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, the place where Christ wept over Jerusalem, the church of the Pater Noster, .the L, rd’s prayer in al. language.-. the t mb of the Virgin s parents. Ac. We rode back t the citv. climbing the hi’.’., past the Damascus gate once more and around to o iir io. tel whi. h is with, ut the wa..s and near the Jaffa gate. It was a little afterfive o’clock when we arrived. We had tine weather and a lovelv trip. S manv fine views. I like the country best'here. It is not plastered over taudry buildings. The sacred places in Jerusalem are sometimes spoiled for me bv such things. And often thev must keep Turkish s Idlers at such places to preserve peace among the different reugious sects worshiping there. But the mountains, the river and the sea are left as they were. We were net so tired as on the pre- . eeviing days, though we had ridden !*> miles, but after dinner at 9 we left the table I had to gi> t? bed instead of writing, as I wished to. I was so | enthusiastic I wanted to write right awav. Yesterday we had a very hart day.
