through the next awful plunge. They
lost little time In this way. but there
was no choice To win the race with
no breath in their bodies would have
been no better than a grave under the

as they were quite despairing the
great body of snow, now close be-

sheltered by huge rock and, parting
into two great slides. went thunder

Their brains were in whirl. The
danger from the slide had passed but
they were powerless to check their
own heart-breaking speed. so on they
flew until at last they struck the soft
snow at the bottom of the canon. A
