 Chamonix is little village in a val ley of the same name surrounded by the Swiss Alps. The chief occupation of the young men of Chamonix is that of guide to tourists.
 One of these guides. William Lubken. came home one evening from conduct ing stranger on q mountain climbing expedition without his charge He re- ported that the stranger had been caught in an avalanche and carried over precipice. Lubkin at the begin ming of the snow's movement, which was slow, had succeeded in reaching a rock, to which he clung. The rope by which climbers are always united broke and the stranger had been borne away from him. The broken part of the rope he showed in evidence of his story
 Albert Twingle started suspicion that Lubkin had cut the rope to save himself that Lublen had frayed the cut part to show that it had been bro ken This suspicion grew till it was believed by many of the villagers, though the guides who at any time might be liable to the same charge would not hear of it. Lukben never recovered from the obloquy cast upon him. He left Chamonix. and the place knew him no more.
 One day twenty years later a tray eler with white hair and beard came to Chamonix All the guides were anxious to be employed by him, but he engaged none of them. He sat all day looking up at the mountains and the glaciers. apparently suffering from melancholy. While he was at Chamo- nix traveller appeared and asked for a guide. Albert Twingle, now nearing an age when guides usually give up calling requiring both nerve and strength, was engaged. He started with the traveller to explore the Mer de Glace. In the evening Twingle re- turned and reported that while the stranger was attempting to look down into crevasse the ice had broken and he had fallen between the cold jaws. When he told the narrowing story to the assembled people the man of mel ancholy-a name given to the unknown stran~e--was sitting, as usual. on the
