EMBRACING OPPORTUNITY

Elizabeth was not exactly Old a NJ,

show. Yet she had much more money
than Elinor. She was among the very
few whose names frequently axure
in connection with momentous M.
tional speculations as to the medium
of circulation.
did You hear what has happened
to Gustave?" asked Elinor, turning
companionably to Orson as Elisabeth
mounted beside her.
Orson's face had already taken on
something resembling a smile. Gus
tave had been Elizabeth's Chauffeur.
"Oh, yes" replied Orson. "Gustave
told me about it before 1t happened" !"
-And why didn't you warn me?
asked Elizabeth, smiling at Orson
candidly and almost sveetly, although
she had told Elinor over the phone
that she should hereafter hate chauf-
feurs.
'"I-you see, madam-ah! It was in
confidence" stanimered Orson, who
was plainly embarrassed. Elinor
never before had dreamed that Orson
could look that way.

On the way Elinor and Elizabeth
chatted and laughed as the dearest
friends viii chat and laugh, and Or
SON was ignored. That was part of
Orson's business Yet he seemed deep
in thought most OF tho way.
Orson was missing from the garage
next morning when Elinor called for
her favorite machine. He had gone
the night before, one Of the helpers
said, and Elinor, with whom he Had
INDUCED some conversation, said she
had no idea as to his whereabouts.

ing no noisy parade Of the grief they felt.
We asked them whether they wished
to go up and bring down the bodies
for orderly burial. They preferred
to leave them where they were. For
my part. 1 was glad of this decision.
What better burial could they have
than to lie in the snow where they
fell? In their honor a large cairn
was built at Camp III.
A few words must be added with
regard to this accident. No one will
imagine that we had pushed on reck-
lessly disregarding the new condi-
tions of fresh snow. Three members
of the Alpine Club. with experience
of judging snow for themselves,
chiefly, OF course, In the Alps, had
all supposed that tho party WAS safe

ropes. soon came up with the leading
party. We should have been glad to
stay where we were for a long rest
but the hour was already late, and
as Somervell was ready to take the
lead again We decided to push on.
WE were now about 400 feet below
" a conspicuous block Of ice and
COO feet below camp four, still on the
gentle slopes Of the corridor. Somer-
veil had advanced only 100 feet
rather up the slope than across it,
and the last party Of porters had
barely begun to move up in the steps.
The scene was peculiarly bright and
windless, and, as we rarely spoke.
nothing was to be heard but the Ia
bored painting Of our lungs
This stiffness was suddenly dis
turbed.
We were startled by an ominous
sound, sharp, arresting, violent, and
yet, somehow, soft, like an explosion
OF untamped gunpowder. ] had never
before on a mountainside heard such
a sound. but all Of us, ! imagine, knew
instinctively what il meant, as though
we had been accustomed to hear 1t

= \ FTER two attempts and two
a failures to climb Mount Everest
by the great British expedition under
the command of Brig. Gen. Hon. G. G.
Bruce, third attempt was still de-
cided upon, notwithstanding the un-
propitious character. of the weather.
The two previous attempts. while. not
successful in reaching the summit
itself, were nevertheless remarkable
in attaining attitudes never before
touched by the foot of man. The
first venture, u AR George H. Leigh
Mallory (the author OF the present
artfcle), without oxygen. arrived at
a height Of 1856. feet before being
obliged to retreat, while the second
attempt. under Capt. George Finch
through the use OF oxygen. reached
the unprecedented height OF 21,3Q0
feet.
Mount Everest itself rises TO an
altitude Of 29,002 feet, the highest
point in the world. The extreme tip
of the Andes is but 23.290 feet: the
highest point in North America, co.
800 feet; in Africa, 1890 feet: in
Europe, 1896 feet.
This is the third and concluding
article, describing "The Assault on
Mount Everest" AS the expedition
approached the base of the mountain
in the summer of 1922 1t consisted
Of no less than sixty to seventy-fi
men, Including porters and other EN-
ployes, and more than 900 pack ami
mails. In order to prepare for this
prodigious undertaking. a renaissance
expedition. under Lieut.. Col. c. X.
Howard Bury. ID. S. o., had been sent
out the year before to explore the
approaches to the mountain.
After such extensive preparations.
therefore, it can be easily understood
how a third attempt was determined
upon after the failure Of the first
two to reach the top. even though
the weather was exceptionally men
acing.

@ HE project Of making third
attempt this season was
mooted Immediately on the
return of Finch and Geofrrey
Bruce to the base camp. There in
hours of idleness we had discussed their
prospects and wondered what they
would be doing as we gazed at the
mountain to make out the weather
on the great ridge. We were not sur
p-ised to learn when they came down
that the summit was still uncon-
quered, and we were not yet prepared
to accept defeat

or the six who had been already en-
gaged only one was obviously fit for
another great effort. Somervell had
shown a rccuperative capacity be-
yond the rest OF u.s. After one day
at the base he had insisted on going
UP again to comp in case he
might be of use to the others. The
rest were more Or less knocked out.
Morshead's frostbitten fingers and
toes, from which he was now suffer-
ing constant pain, caused grave anxi-
ETY. of most serious consequences, and
the only plan for him was to 60
down to a lower elevation as soon as
possible. Norton'S feet had also been
affected. He complained at first only
OF bruises. but the cold had come
through the soles OF his boots. His
trouble, too, was frostbite. In any
case, he could not have come up
again, for the strain had told on his
heart, and he now found himself left
without energy or strength.
Geoffrey Bruce's feet also were so
badly frostbitten that he could not
walk. Finch, however, was not yet
to be counted out He was evidently
very much exhausted. but an exami-
nation of his heart revealed no dis
order. 1t was hoped that in five or
six days he would be able to start
again. Ny own case was doubtful

publican, all things else being equal,
because a situation would develop
making their help necessary. They
both assured me that the national
politics Of the candidate should make
no difference in the city primary
which was non-partisan, their being
only one ticket.
We had republican parade and a
republican rally. brought out a
drum that l had used on similar oc-
casions some thirty years before,
marched and drummed in the parade
and spoke denouncing LaFollette at

the rally; held up the hands of the
party and those interested but alien
ating at the same time the voters of
LaFollette followers. ] explained
to these two men that my opponent
under the circumstances would get
all the democratic and all the La
Toilette votes and that / must have
all the republican votes in order to
win. They answered as l have said,
that mans politics made no differ
ence on the citizen ticket.
Now one Joe Leibee, a candidate
for mayor on the citizens ticket did
the same as only he marched in the
LaFollette parade. 1t made some
difference too with these republicans
of whom / speak, finding no candi-
date to oppose him they wrote in the
name of one in an attempt to defeat
him.
Here is what happened: In the first
ward there were 95 Coolidge votes,
received 95 votes; in the second ward
there We're 155 Coolidge votes, I re-
ceived 104; in the third ward there
were 81 Coolidge votes and received
33. In other words, SO republicans, af-
ter my marching and speaking for
the republican party, voted for my
opponent. If i had received these
votes would have been nominated,
and that even though / lost perhaps
a hundred votes by speaking as / did
against LaFollette.
Nor will this make any difference
with my future actions, have been
a republican for 81 years and will
probably remain so.
