Surely there must be a place where it would be all right for you to stay." "Oh, yes," replied Carley, eagerly. "Glenn wrote me there was a lodge where people went in nice weather right down in the canyon not far from his place. Then, of course, the town Flagstaff isn't far.... Aunt Mary, I think I'll go." "I would. You're certainly wasting your time here."
To enjoy this trip aright, one should drive there, and arrange to sleep in the amphitheatre, returning on the following day. Extinct Volcanoes. Or, if a more extended trip is desired, one can drive on to the many cinder cones and extinct volcanoes that lie to the north and east of the San Francisco Mountains, including Sunset Crater and O'Leary Peak, and then into Flagstaff.
A ranger from the station near there visited us, and two young ranchers, who told us that the influenza epidemic was waning. This was news to be thankful for. Moreover, I hired the two ranchers to hurry us by auto to Flagstaff on the morrow. So right there at Mormon Lake ended our privations.
"Is that the best opinion you have of us, after the way you've been praising us athletes for two years?" laughed Prescott. "I'll toss you for it, Dick," nudged Dave. "What's this?" demanded Mr. Macey. "Prescott and I are going to toss for it, to see who shall have the first chance to climb the spire and flagstaff," replied Dave. "Nonsense!

"As the representative of Roland Clewe, Esq.," said Samuel, deliberately and distinctly, "I take possession of the north pole of this earth in the name of United North America."

Not a flagstaff, nor a church tower, nor a chimney?" "Nothing but space." As he uttered the words the door opened. A man appeared on the threshold. It was Robur.
Whether he stood still, leaning with both hands on the flagstaff, or, bearing it upon his shoulder, paced slowly up and down, the careful arrangement of his poor dress, and his erect and lofty bearing, showed how high a sense he had of the great importance of his trust, and how happy and how proud it made him.
