had been brave without thought OF

Now, too, he could be as brave as

he was an amateur.
1t all rose through a certain sporting
offer that Gaspsrd had made to Mr..
Richards on the afternoon on which he
walked into Zermatt from St. Niklaus.'
Gaspard acostei him. as is the habit of
the guides, showing him his book of tes-
tlmonla.s, and proposed that they should

Richards said, "and two guides Is more

"You can make the Final Rothhorn

Baedeker said differently. Gaspard re-
newed his Offer
"Yes, Monsieur, I Will take you up the
FINAL RotAhorn by myself, and you shall
not pay me a centime unless we get TO
the top"
Decidedly IT was a sporting offer, for
Il was made in utter ignorance OF the
Englisemans climbing powers and
rested only on the rash generalization
that all Engl!shmen who climb at all
climb we'll. Moreover, there is a certain
awkward rock traverse on the FINAL
Rothhorn. where an inexperienced climb

Lafargue with him on all his more dim
cult excursions.
But 1t is only with one OF these excur-
sions-the last of them-thst this story
is specially concerned.
1t was in the English travellers mind,
il the weather should be favorable TO
climb Monte Rosa a toi!some eXpedi-
ton, and, to a party OF less than three,
Tcre than little perilous. But Il is an
expedition that they never undertook,
though they fixed a day for IT, In the
course of a preliminary walk, to make a
recon ioisance OF the route the tnevita-
BILE happened. For, as all the world
knows two men cannot go alone on a
snow-masked glacier without the risk
of accident
There is no need to make long story
Of the excursion. In truth there is hard
ly anything TO be told about 1t. They
reconnoitered. for 1t was dull, gray
day, with clouds and mist drifting
hlther and thither, and a dark sky con-
.lnually threatening snow. And at last
the moment came, VIXEN high up on the
