CHAPTER XXII.
FROM DENVER TO CHEYENNE.
Having completed our travels, aid given as
lengthy a description of that more southern section
of our country as our space will permit, we return
again to this place, and begini our more northern
wanderings. Being now hardened by journeyings and out-door life, in pure air, we can easily anticipate twenty hours' pleasure under warm sun and
the agreeable coolness of evening, and the most brilliant starlight, equaled only in any other land, but
never surpassed. Tile skies send down their greatest beauty through the thin, pure air of evening,
new and very interesting to those who come here
the first time.
While waiting for the branch road to be completed
from Cheyenne to Denver, we travel this hundred
miles in a stage coach. Could it be done wholly by
daylight nothing would be more agreeable. The
road lies along the base of the mountain ranges,
through low foot-hills, over rolling plains, divided
occasionally by a vigorous mountain stream mingling
with the plain below, with lines of trees marking
their course from the mountains to the gently-sink
