So they planned 1t, and after his
employer had gone back to England
Gaspard found IT hard TO tear himself
away from Zermatt.
The other guides were jealous or him.
What business had he in zermatt, they
asked, doing work that by rights belonged

ice. 1t was impossible to get such a grip
on II as a man must have II ne would
climb hand over hand; and this, the last
way Of safety, failed.
There was a fresh pause. while both
the French guide and the English tour
list looked death in the face and racked
their brains in vain for some device by
which the imminent end might be avert
ed. Everything was still; the clouds
were blackening, the snow had begun TO
fall, and there was no chance that any
one would bring them help.
Then the voice of the Englishman was
heard calling from the chasm:

THE GUIDES SACRIFICE.
Though Bound By LOve's Ties GaSpard
Preferred Death to Disgrace.

They shake their heads with unpleas-
ant significance at Zermatt II you ask
them about Gaspard Lafargue and what
befell him. For one thing, Gaspard was
Chamounlx guide; and ChamouniS
guides are no more popular in the Ger
matt Valley than on the Overland. For
Inc rest-but that is the story / have to
tell.
An English tourist, who has no other
connection with the story, brought Gas
pard to Zermatt, much against his will,
IN the beginning Of July. Before July
was over Gaspard had made up his
nlnd that the longer he stayed at Ter
matt the better he should be pleased.
II was all through the laughing eyes

his reception; the question what he had
done with the Herr; the inevitable an

be expected to direct; the awful dis

down upon the very verge OF the frozen

cold stiffened out his limbs, and the
snowhakes fell on him and formed his
canopy. And so he lay when old Chris

Then there was silence-a silence
as Of the grave-whlle Gaspard Lafargue
battled with himself. He was no cow
ard. All the Swiss guides are brave;
and he was among the bravest Of
them. At ChamounIx and at Courmayeur
there still lnger stirring stories OF his
pluck. He had stood in just such peril
as this once before. The watch he
carried in his pocket had been given TO
him by an English Alpinist whose life
he had saved at hideous danger
TO his own; he had been covered
with glory for his courage in the coll
umns OF the Alpine Journal And he
had been brave without thought OF
glory. merely because 1t was his duty
as mountain guide.
Now, too, he could be as brave as
ever, but for a single thought-the
thought of Nannette, with the laughing
eyes, waiting for him at the Mont Cervn
and wondering why he did not come.
Through the mist and the snow re
seemed to see the smile of mingled love
and pride with which she always vel

cursions. Again he pictured her anxiety
deepening into terror as the hour grew
later and he did not return; her sobs,

wards Harry Richards took Gaspard
Lafargue with him on all his more difti-
cult excursions.
But 1t is only with one OF these excur-
sions-the last OF them-that this story
is specially concerned.
1t was In the English travellers mind
II the weather should be favorable. TO

tion, and, to a party OF less than three,

expedition that they never undertook.
though they fixed a day for II. In the
course of a preliminary walk, TO make
reconnaissance OF the route the inevita-
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 a long story
OF the excursion. In truth, there is hard
ly anything to be told about 1t. They
reconnoitered, for II was a dull, gray
day, with clouds and mist drifting
hither and thither and a dark sky con-
tlnually threatening snow. And at last
the moment came, when high up on the
Monte Rosa Glacier the English travel
Ter slipped through a snow bridge into
crevasse and mis- guide held him dan

out OF II.
Gaspard Lafargue could just sustain
the weight. and that was all, His COM

nearly pulled him on his feet. Dropping
on to one knee. that he might the better
bear the strain. he shouted such direc-
tons as he could.

1t all rose through a certain sporting
offer that Gaspard had made to Mr..
Richards on the afternoon on which he
walked into Zermatt from st. Niklaus.
Gaspard acosted him. as Is the habit of
the guides, showing him his book OF tes-
timonla:s. and proposed that they should
make an ascent together Harry Richards
stood talking with him, and the names
of many peaks were mentioned. The

Richards said, land two guides Is more

you can make the FINAL Rothhorn

The Englishman expressed surprise
Baedeker said differently. Gaspard re-
newed his Offer
Yes, Monsieur. / will take you up the
Final Rothhorn by myself, and you shall
not pay me 4 centime unless We get to
the top"
Decidedly It was a sporting offer, for
It was made in utter ignorance of the
Englseman's climbing powers and
rested only on the rash generalizatio
that all Engllshmen who climb at all
climb we'll. Moreover. there is a certain
awkward rock traverse on the FINAL
