CHAPTER III.

Picture 20 yourself, il the pigments
en- your palette are bright enough. a
landscape blazing with primary colors;
stainless skies of vivid blue, dazzling
ribbon of white surf, red sandstone
cliffs, and, in the foreground, a field of
cloth of gold embroidered lavishly
with millions of yellow peoples.

sanctuary, the home of the Gerards, a

ceived me. My first impressions of
this remarkable man are worth record

no clew to his character. He stood be-
fore me n colossus. impassive and i'm
| pressive, reminding me, absurdly
enough, of the Matterhorn as I saw It
first from Zerfnatt. How sharply that
grim peak pricked my fancy! And yet
its profile alone was visible. The love-
liness of the lower slopes, the glory OF
gorge and glacier, the horror of
crevasse and preciplce, were shrouded
with shadow, obscured by distance. I
| knew from hearsny what lay between
me and the summit; but between the
| Greek and me, between experience and
ineNperience, was an abyss not lightly
to be bridged.
"Glad to see you, sir" he said, re-
| specially. There was no trace Of a
foreign accent. "I had my masters
telegram, and your room is prepared"
He led the way to comfortable
apartment, simply but admirably fur
nished, and began to unstrap my valise.

head.
