FortunateIy the weather had changed, and shortly after 2 o'clock a gray streak appeared in the cloudless east. The party consisted of a MT. Bowers. an American stopping at the hotel where the excurslonists had put up, two porters and Dyckman leading the way.
 About half past they reached the ridge where the accident had oc- cured, and Bowers, taking the ad- vance. climbed 1t. sitting on it with leg on either side. Looking down, he saw that the tourists must have fallen into a gap, but how deep 1t was he could not tell. The rest of the party, being informed of what he was about to do, all advanced, he descending to an icy ledge not far below. The men in falling must have struck this ledge and, unable to stop themselves. had slid into the gap. .. ..r ... When all had crossed the last man threw the coils of rope over to them and Bowers volunteered to be lowered to discover whether the men could be found and whether they were dead 1 or alive. A rope was placed around his body, and, code of signals having been arranged, he was let down. When he had gone some forty feet. the rope Rlackening, it was evident that he had struck bottom. He was then heard to call, and a faint response came up. He signaled to be raised and, reaching the party, said that the gap was filled with soft snow; that he had called and received an answer. When being rals- ed he looked for the owner of the voice and saw him some fifty feet away. The point from which he had been lowered being altered to meet the new conditions, be went down again with another rope. Presently signal was given on each of these ropes, and Bowers and Brouwer were both hauled up. Brouwer was well nigh gone, but WAS able to point out where Pendleton could be found, the two having conVersed after their fall,
 Bowers again went down with an extra rope and struck Pepdleton lying apparently unconscious. though if Bow CTS had not been immediately over him he would not have seen him. so deeply buried was he in the snow. Then Bowers and Pendleton were both drawn up. Pendleton showing no sign of life. But glass being placed over his mouth showed moisture, and the party, going to work on him with a will, pouring down liquor at the same time, finally revived him.
 Neither of the men had been injured by their fall into the snow. They were on the eve of perishing by cold As soon as they were able to prnceed the party descended to Scheidig.
 Great was the rejoicing at the hotei when the two men who had been con sidered lost appeared walking with their rescuers down the mountain When they came up to the porch it was crowded with people cheering and waving to them. Then some one ask ed, Where's Lord BoyinghamT' An attendant replied: His lordship went down to Interlaken an hour ago. He received 8 telegram calling him away
 ' Della Denton was far different from their parting. The title that had tempt ed her had shriVeled since 1t must be taken with a man who was at once and a coward. Not only that, but the accident had revealed to her her own heart. The belief that Pendleton had been killed gave her a shock that surprised her. One glance from Pendleton at the woman he loved told him that he had won.
 When something of the excitement had, sslhaidnd the landlord asked Pen dletOn to come into a private room. The rope with which the climber had started the day before was still about his waist. The landlord took up the end and, looking at it, threw it from him.
 ''What is it?' asked Pendleton.
 "It was cut" was the reply in a scathing tone. '"The dog feared you would drag him over and cut you of Before his return he -frayed the edge by rubbing 1t between stones"
 Pendleton was thunderstruck. The landlord continued:
 His lordship wrote a telegram to himself stating that his mother was dying. He did it for. an excuse to get away and left before your return. He dared not face your end of the rope"
 Keep 1t to yourself" said Pendleton after a moments thought
 Pendleton kept the secret till few years later he heard the Britisher was trying again to marry an American fortune, when he sent his lordship an order to keep of. an order that was speedily Obeyed.
 Della Denton did not know the SC eret till she had been Mrs. Pendleton \ several gears.
