THE ONLY WAY.

 TTHE shades Of night were failing
 fast
 (As has been mentioned In the pasO A When through an Alpine villag
 blew A climber with retInuc. He did not bear through snow and ice A banner with strange device Nor did he roar "ENcelslor!" GAS has been mentioned heretofOre). But tended strictly Co his job, Which was to galn the mountains mob. Behind him on the weary jog There toilcd a faithful blond stenog: Likewise there pufrcd a not'ry pub, Provided by thC Alpine club, Who saw the climber did not cheat And swore him every thousand feet. Roped Co a yodellng Alpine guide. The trio sealed the mountainside. At dawn the climber topped the crag And waved the Climbers union flag, Dictated Co the blond stenog The final entries In his log. Made affidavit "Shelp me BobH That he had gained the mountains mob. And Blll, the guide to make things sure, Was witness Co his signature That ought to hold the Show me bunch, The climber murmured.
