Comes one day climber. more dar.
ing than others before him. The icy
fastness where she hides her lowell.
ness is invaded by him. Having been
seen by him her retreat soon is, in
vaded by many men eager to behold
her and. from the thrill of behold1ng
her, doomed to love her hopeIessiy.
She is kind, but cold to all. Unable
to endure the sight of one SO beauti-
full and still not possess her. her ad.
mirers Join In prayer to. heaven.
They ask that since they may not
claim her for their own they may at
least be spared the sight Of one SO
lovely. The prayer is answered. The
angel is taken back to heaven. She
leaves behind her human heart in the
edelweiss as memento Of her earth
ly residence.
And so from an object of love itself,
the edelweiss has come to be the
symbol Of love. The Swiss maiden to
whom some swain mas brought the
edelweiss knows that he has risked
his life to gather the tiny blossoms for.
her. Receiving them, she under.
stands, because the mute appeal OF
the edelweiss is stronger than words.

Lucerne.-When the warm spring
sun kisses the rugged slopes OF the
Alps the snow will gradually disap-
pear. In the hooks and crannies Of
the rocks here and there will appear
thes shoots, Of tiny plant. 1t will
push its soft, velvety stems upward
few Inches. Upon these fragile stalks
later will appear dense clusters OF
white howers-so white that they al
most appear greenish in their purity
of color. The heads of the flowers are
covered with a fieecy substance, soft
rs down to the touch.
This modest little blossom is the
edelweiss.
Every summer season intrepid noun
taineers give up their lives to gather
the edelweiss. It is precious because
IT Is rare. It is desirable because it
Is difficult to obtain. For the edel.
weiss grows, generally In the most in
accessible places. It nestles in the
steep sides of the precipice and the
chasm. Invigorated by the mountain
, air. intoxicated by the scenery, the
climber behotds the blossom in its
dangerous. crevice. He determines to
make his way to it and bear 1t away
with him. Sometimes he succeeds in
the quest, only to fail as he attempts
to return. A loose stone that he has
trusted as foothold slips away. His
