and having for handle an implement which WIN

Jack entered into conversation with the
young man, and found that he was going
across the Rhone Glacier to the Grimsel hos
pice.
1t occurred to him that it would be bright
idea to keep the pair company for awhile,
and witness little genuine glacier climbing.
At the same time, he could maintain sharp
lookout for Walter as they went.
He suggested his idea to the young English
man, who assured him that he was welcome
to join them.
The trio, therefore, strobe gayly onward to-
gether till they reached the second sharp
turn, or zigzag, of the road.
This point overlooked the glazier, being op-
posite its widest and most confused portion,
while it commanded view of the majestic
ice torrent from its lower end nearly to its
summit-a stretch Of several miles
The guide pointed out the windings of the
road, where they were visible in its descent,
and the Rhone Glacier Hotel at the extreme
lower end of the glacier
Jack looked eagerly over the wonderful
spectacle. He was amazed by the vastness
of the ice-feld with the lofty, snow-crowned
peaks of the Bernese Alps on the other side.
He was especially astonished by the gigantic
ice waves of the glacier at the point opposite
their post of observation.
They had now left the main road, and were
standing upon steep, rocky hill which COM
manded better view.
Amid all his wonder and delight, however,
Jacks thoughts constantly returned to one
question: What had become of Walter?
1t was not singular that they had not passed
him on the road, but now he was nowhere
visible along the descending zigzags of the car
riage route, nor on the glacier itself, where
Jack expected to find him.
A vague sensation of uneasiness began to
take possession of Jacks mind. The carriage
had not yet made its appearance, and so he
had no opportunity OF finding out whether
Walter had reioined his parents from some
unnotced footpath, or from some hillside or
cump Of trees which might have attracted
him.
The Englishinan and guide now began to
climb down the steep and rocky descent to
the ice. at
Perhaps, after all, Walter might be upon
the glacier, hidden from view by some one
of the enormous blocks and pillars of ice
which were tossed up everywhere in wild
He would 20 ahead short distance, at any
rate, and ascertain. With this determination,

was that the driver was cracking his whip
beneath their windows in the gray of the
morning.
After Swiss breakfast of bread and honey,
with coffee, and some of those glorious trout
as an extra, the party climbed into the car
riage, taking with them a substantial and
weIl-tlled lunch basket by way of luggage.
The road was tolerably level for about six
miles, following along the edge of the treeless
valley Then it began to wind up the heights
toward the lofty Flrka Pass
Walter and Jack alighted from the carriage
and pressed forward on foot. They could go
much faster than the vehicle, especially as
they, were not compelled to follow the zigzag
OF the road, but could take to the footpath
across the grassy slopes.
They walked ahead in this manner, leaving
the carriage far behind, till they had nearly
reached the summit of the pass
Then Jack took it into his head to sit down
IN IN pleasant, shady spot, to rest and enjoy
side of the valley. He also wished to arrange
some Of the wild flowers which he had gath
cred for Mrs. Bird
Walter, however, had just settled Into good
waking trim. He demonstrated with Jack
for what he called his laziness, and finding
him proof against arguments, declared his in
tentlon to push on alone to the glacier
"Al right" said Jack, carelessK' E'yVe'll
catch up before long. Take care and not pitch
into an ice hole, my boyl"
"G9od,bye, Lazybones! Don't go to sleep'
was Walters only rejoinder, as he strobe to
the SIDE of the hill where they had halted, and
disappeared over its crest.
Jack continued to arrange the flowers till
the bouquet met his approval.
| Then he followed leisurely up the footpath
on Walters trail
In few minutes, he reached little inn
at the summit of the Furka, where tourists
are wont to halt for refreshments He hailed
a porter, and inquired if he had seen a bow
pass by within short time.
Yes, one went down ter pass like donder
and blitzen ten minutes ago" was the response
OF the servant.
This appeared to describe Walter and so

They made their way slowly over the gla-

less humpy, was very much like promenading
on the top of New England stone wall COW
cred with CLASSY ice. But the guide used his

che others got on without much trouble.
Jack enjoyed the climb hugely, and for the
time being almost forgot Walter. Indeed, he
mad all he could attend to to keep his bal

But now they reached spot of genuine diff
hculty. The crevasse, as has been said. was
narrow: They could easily descend to the

One of the boys began to reflect. The
second, who was stout, rosy-cheeked lad,
cleared his mouth with two or three vigorous
gulps, and replied:
"Ihese mountain trout, by all odds Bring
me another, waiter, will you"
The party at the table consisted Of Mr. and
Mrs. Bird, their sons, Walter and Elmer, and
family at Lueerne. They had zigzagged up the
St. Gothard Pass from Lucerne.
Although it was only the last OF August,
the air is crisp at evening In these lofty Al
pine nests.
After few moments of chat, Jack broke
"What pity to go back to Lucerne to-
morrow! Can't we manage to stay here day
or two? ! should dearly like to try cast at
those trout"
Elmer shouted an enthusiastic approval of
this sentiment.
'I say, father" interrupted Walter, who
had been busily pouring over his guide book
for Walter was the director of the family ex-

splendid trip. Can't we go?"
"Wel / was thinking that myself" replied

The three boys hugged each other with
delight, as Mr.. Bird departed in search Of
their Jehu. He soon returned with that wor-
thy, good-natured SwitzeT, who spoke just
English enough to confound and battle every
attempt to understand his meaning. A parley
was at once begun.
Yes, he would go to the Rhone glacier. He
could give an extra day for that, provided he
enough for such a heavy days work.
Mr. Bird, after consulting the guide book
suggested that they cross the Furka Pass and
descend to ,the Rhone Glacier Hotel for din
