o. Then we turned our backs on it, and walked in the
opposite direction. Higher and higher we climbed, and I found a
wild rose, a white one, growing by the path, and some
butterfly-weed further on--a veritable breath of America. The path
is only wide enough for mules and donkeys, and people single file.
We met some negro women with fruits on their heads, and the ground
was covered with mangoes, green and yellow, some with large bites
in them, for all the negroes eat them. Parts of the river crossed
our path, sometimes with occasional little waterfalls; and we
drank, partly from thirst and partly from pure pleasure in
drinking water so clear and sweet and cold.

We passed a coffee-mill with big barbecues, and men spreading out
the coffee on them with shovels. There seemed to be a great deal
of it, but there are only a very few people here who have
succeeded in making their "pile" by raising coffee. The big
mill-wheel was silent; it is turned by water power, and was
probably out of order. I never heard of anything Jamaican that
wasn't the latter. It was deliciously cool up there, with a strong
wind blowing, and occasional small patches of shade from
thick-leaved mango-trees. There were plenty of banana-trees, but
only a few palms. Palms grow better further down. The mountains
were becoming misty already when we turned to go back. They
generally do in the afternoon.

The Helping Hand.

Another memorial stone is promised for the School Building. It is to
bear the name of J. Paul Charlton, who was a Canadian Knight and a
Founder of our Order. His uncle sends $10 to the Fund, and says he will
provide the stone as soon as the size is given him. The stone will cost
$3 to $6. The Table will be glad to hear from others who may wish to
place memorial stones in the building. It is not necessary that the
person belonged in life to the Order. We hope most of the Chapters will
also give name stones.

What do you think of Mr Munroe's appeal? We agree with him that _every
member ought to be represented_ on the Honor Roll. Have you forwarded
your dime yet? Let us raise the balance of this Fund and crown our
efforts with success. Ten cents from _you_ will do it. We have received
since last report. Josephine Howard, 10 cents. A friend, $1. Kirk
Munroe, 10 cents
