me rock was found dead on the path below the rocks. What caused
his fall is not known. No wonder Aunt Sarah says it makes her dizzy
when you boys skip stones across the river while standing on the
rock."

The beautiful view of the Delaware River and the scenery on the
opposite side was something long to be remembered. While the party
were going into raptures over the beautiful sight, Professor Schmidt
turned to Mary and remarked: "In those rocks which rise in
perpendicular bluffs, several hundred feet above the level of the
river, are evidence that prehistoric man may have inhabited the caves
in these same walls of rock along the Delaware. From implements and
weapons found, it does not require any great effort of imagination to
believe the 'Cave Man' dwelt here many centuries ago."

Fritz Schmidt was much interred in his father's conversation, and
from that time on called Ralph Jackson Mary's "Cave Man."

Leaving Top Rock, the party wended their way back to the waiting
carriages in the road, and drove to the "Ringing or Musical Rocks."
They had been informed that their nearest approach to the rocks was to
drive into the woods to reach them. Passing a small shanty at the
roadside, where a sign informed the passerby that soft drinks were to
be obtained, the party dismounted and found, to their surprise, a
small pavilion had been erected with bench, table and numerous seats
composed of boards laid across logs, where camp meetings had formerly
been held. As the large trees furnished shade, and a spring of fresh
water was near by, they decided to "strike" camp and have lunch before
going farther into the woods.

Aunt Sarah and the Professor's wife spread a snowy cloth over the
rough wooden table, quickly unpacked the hampers, and both were soon
busily engaged preparing sandwiches of bread, thinly sliced, pink cold
ham and ground peanuts, fried chicken and beef omelette; opening jars
of home-made pickles, raspberry jam and orange marmalade.

"Oh!" said Pauline, "I'm so hungry for a piece of chocolate cake. Let
me help shell the eggs, so we can soon have dinner."

"Here's your fresh spring water," called Fritz, as he joined the
party, a tin pail in his hand, "We had such an early breakfast, I'm as
hungry as a bear."

The party certainly did full justice to the good things provided with
a lavish hand by Frau Schmidt and Aunt Sarah. All were in high
spirits. The Professor quoted from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam--
