termining of altitude it was forced to
yield pride of place to Ben Nevis, the
summit of which, dominating the At
lantic seaboard Of Scotland, stands
Just over 4,40O feet above sea level.
In reality Ben Nevis has great su-
periority in height over the f1rst-men'
toned hill, for at its base 1t Is no
more than 100 feet above the waters
of the Atlantic, whereas Ben Mac
Dhui takes its rise from the high
ground of Mar at an elevation OF
quite 1900 feet. It was early after
noon when we left Glen Nevis with
the object Of spending the night on
the summit of the Ben. After long
spell of cold and misty conditions, an
Atlantic anti.cyclone. which had some
time been struggling to dominate our
weather, at length gained the upper
hand over a series Of sman depres-
sions, and a succession of magnificent
days was the result.
1irches on Lower Slopes.
The walk up the lower slopes OF
Ben Nevis is comparatively uninter'
esting, though We noted that up to
the 1,500-foot level struggling birches
clothed the hillside, and we were in
terested in comparing the limit OF
their growth with that attained by
them on the Cairngorm hills. AS we
gained the upper reaches Of the hill
the starry saxifrage (Saxifraga stel-
laris) and also Saxifraga hypnoides
were common, and an occasional plant
of the parsley fern (Allosurus crispus)
protruded its delicate foliage from be-
tween the rocks. For the last 1000
feet Of the climb, however, vegetation
was quite absent, hundreds of acres
of volcanic "scree"' covering the hill
as far as the eye could reach. AT
an altitude of 1000 feet the writer
watched for some time number of

Such a sight as we we're pr1vilegoo
to look down upon Is one which ~
extremely rare In this country, and
during an extensive and varied wa1t
dering on the Cairngorms at every
season of the year the writer had
never once experienced similar condt1
lions, when, more than at all other
times, the lover of the grand and
lofty in nature has instilled into HIM
the charm of the hills in its most I'M
spring form. Prior to the rising oa
the sun the mist was of = cold gray
tinge. Then gradually, almost imper4
ceptibly, a rosy hue was impaired to-
the clouds beneath. and soon AFTER
sunrise the shadow of the Ben was
projected on the mists for many miles,
to the southwest. Scarcely breath
of wind stirred on the summit OF the
hills, but far below the clouds were
being guided westwards, and during
their silent progress assumed IN
places the forms CT gigantic pillows.

BY ten o'clock the sea of cloud was
as yet unbroken and now reflected
the rays of the sun with dazzling brill
lance. High above the mist to the
eastward the Cairngorm hills were
visible, Cairn Toul (4,241 feet) being
specially prominent across the 80
miles of intervening country. Its con-
tour was clearly seen-even the corrie
of Clais an Toul, and, further north.
the slopes of Braerisch, with the

ravens, apparently brood OF the
present season accompanied by the
narent birds. They were feeding on
a spur of the hill, and as they rose
gave an exhibition of soaring powers
little inferior to those of the eagle
himself. It was near sunset as We
reached the summit cairn. Even with
the summer half gone, the winters
snow still covered the plateau, In
places to a depth Of quite four feet,
and cornices of snow projected over
the giant precipices. Though the sun
had already set In the glens below,
the plateau was still bathed in its
soft rays, the snowf1elds in its glow
taking on a faint pinkish tinge, Arc
tic in it's effect. Lower and lower
sank the sun in the northwestern sky.
Passing just above the tops of the
Coolin hills in the Isle Of Skye, and
throwing out their jagged peaks in
strong relief, 1t ultimately sank be-
meath the horizon across the hills Of
Knoidart at exactly four minutes to
nine. For full three-quarters Of an
hour after this time it's rays still shot
high into the northern sky, and at
no period Of the night did the dull
red afterglow disappear entirely from
the horizon. A short time previously
we had seen the light of the sun re-
flected on the waters of the far At
lantic. and now the hills on the is
land of Rum-the home of heavy
stags-stood out sharply. Near by
we could make out strip of the
low.lying island Of Eigg, and the He
brides, with their conical peakD,
prominent among which was Hekla,
were distinct on the horizon. To the
east all was haze, save where wan
ing moon struggled, just above the
horizon, to pierce the mist with her
silvery rays.
Sea Of Mist.

ocape had changed. During the brief
hours Of darkness Ii pail of white mist.
whose place of origin was the cold
waters of the North sea, had crept
silently and rapidly over the hundreds
cf miles of country dominated by the
hilltop. From this vast sea of mist
the tops of the highest hills stood
clear and sharp in the morning air.

very we'll, then to the advocates. And
Papa Schweizer found himself defend
ant in suit for the amount due. $4,000
in all, up to January 20 last. He hur
ried around to his lawyer and demand
ed what to DO. With him he brought
the papers-yes, there was the sum
mons and complaint and in plain Eng
lish they referred to the marriage set
Element Of ten years and more ago and
the promise that he wouldn't break his
will.
To Sue Papa-in-Law.
Papa Schweizer found, too, that the
count and his American wife had as
signed their joint claim. to Attilio de
Chico, who was suing in the Supreme
Court of New York, and that the agree
ment entered into by the trio of inter
ested parties four days before the we'd
ding was to be Exhibit A."
Mr.. Schweizer promptly denied ev'
erything in his answer except that his
daughter was married to the count.
He offered to leave her $4,000 and pay
her half of $4,000, or $3.50 francs a
year, if they would drop the suit, send.
ing around another agreement to that
effect.
Not for a moment will I consider
that" declared Michael Schneider.
mann, the Gulirellis counsel, Of No.
A Pine street, New York, when he re-
ceived the new agreement for his eli
ents to sign. 1--WE are suing to test
the validity of the marriage settle
ment, which holds under the New York
law, no matter what happens. The
marriage itself is sufficient considera'
ton to make it binding. If this one is
not, then all ante-nuptial contracts are
void. 1t Is the same sort of an agree
ment which all rich men make when
their daughters marry foreigners.
And the father cannot now abrogate
it by will or in any other way. II 1t
is valid, then he cannot relieve him.
self of its obligations, and that Is
what we are suing to find out.
I'VE expect Mr.. Schweizer to try to
test the legality Of the agreement, of
unnecessary drain upon him, especial
ly as his son.in-law is prosperous, but
that is no concern Of ours. He can.
not set aside so lightly as this a for.
NAL ante-nuptial contract, regarded in
law as among the most binding Of doc
uments.
Say He Must Settle.
Death itself cannot abrogate such
a contract, as many decisions already
hold. The count married Miss Schwei-
ger as he agreed to and now Mr.
Schweizer must live up to the end Of
his bargain, just as he agreed to.
I'VE will win and then Mr.. Schwei-
ger cannot change his will. His daugh-
ter must get her share of her fathers
estate, which is what we want. The
count feels that his being well-to-do
is no reason why the payments be dis
continued or his ia .her-in-law's will
be altered to his wifs's disadvantage.
The case Is on the calendar for trial
and the Count and Countess Gulinelli
will be here to give their testimony.
And then Mr.. Schwei3er will find
out that he can't make a marriage set
Element and then forget about it when
he gets disgruntled. They don't do
things that way abroad, and folks
won't be allowed to do it here"
And so-unless Papa Schweizer re-
lents-we shall soon see whether or
not Yankee fathers must live up to
marriage settlements just as foreign
fathers have done.-New York Sunday
