Mason had begun to speak. asking
some further questions about his
brother. when Coch Tai. who was now
walking by his side, called out in q
warning voice:

And then Mason turned sick and al
most giddy, as he fell back q step.
For not many inches from his feet he
suddenly perceived narrow chasm,
not more than five or six feet across at
the top. but some so or go feet deep. It
was followed out and half choked
with snow. And at the bottom, foam
ing and swirling among sharp pointed
green and gray rocks, ran a mountain
stream, milk white with froth and
foam.
Here's one place." went on Coch
Tai energetically, where stranger
might come by his death without a mo-
ment's warning. And can show you

lost In these hills since I've lived here,

CHAPTER XII.

a N45AON OF DEsAIds
The sight Of the chasm. sprung upon
his vision so Unexpectedly, had had SO
great an effect upon Mason that at
first he was inclined to take the view
suggested by Coch Tai and to believe
that his brother had met with his
death in some rash exploration. under
taken at his own risk and against the
advice of his guide.
Granville, though frail of physique,
had been stubborn Of purpose. difficult
to advise or to lead. But then, on the
other hand, there had never been In
his character any taste for wild or rash
adventure: he, in his delicate state of
health, was the last person who could
have been expected to lose his life in
mad attempt to climb to an inaccessi-
BILE rock or to dash forward with such
precipitancy us to lose sight Of the
fact that chasm lay across his pro-
posed path.
Besides. the farmer had said dis
ttnctly that Granville had come up to
explore the ruins, and then that Mer-
rick had "set him on his way"
And was 1t conceivable that a guide
would warn q man that the path he
