Professor Carbutt was now in great demand. LEvery-
body wanted to be taken just as they appeared at the
breaking up of the camp. The Professor finally suc-
ceeded in obtaining some excellent groupings, as well
as camp and landscape views before the train started
eastward.

At about ten a. M., the whistle of the engine gave the
signal for the start homeward. Although every one
seemed delighted with the trip, and satisfied to return,
yet many longing eyes could be observed looking back-
- wards, as if, other duties permitting, they would prefer,

having started the other way, not to return until they had
obtained a view of the Rocky Mountains, and the fabu-
lous mines of treasure which are hidden in their embrace#
