BY JERRY WILDER

Time. had become a meaningless symbol to Anton spread-eagled against the icy rocks. Like word repeated an infinite number, of times, it had lost it's. significance, it's measure.
 Some time, whether cons or hours ago, he and Louis had climbed the peak of the Grandes Jorasses. They had started the al- ways more difficult descent roped together. Only short way from the top Louis, edging out along a narrow shelf, had failed to test a handhold and a silver rock had peeled off in his hand. Louis had balanced wildly, clawed frantical- ly for hold. then toppled off, strik- ing his head heavily on the edge of the shelf as he fell.
 Anton had thrown himself face down at right angles a sizable rock fingers gripping a much less secure hold, before Louis had actually taken up the slack of the fifteen feet of rope between them. Louis, apparently stunned. dangled soundless and motionless with a sheer drop of a thousand feet to the glacier below him.
 Now, clinging limpet-wise on the edge of eternity, Anton faced the hardest decision that comes to an honorable man. Upon his decision hung the lives of two men, the wei fare of a woman and two chil- dren, his own integrity.
 At his belt was knife easily accessible. It would take but mo- ment to sever the rope that held Louis. It was beyond human pos- lsibility for Anton to draw him up to safety. There was an element o1 risk in even loosening one hand to reach for the knife. Louis life was already forfeit. It had been Louis carelessness that had precipitated the catastrophe.
 But there was one slim, fantastic have witnessed the accident and

 it was too late. To cut the rope now
 while strength was fresh and hope was possible, would brand him as a coward and murderer in his
 own eyes. To send his friend to his death perhaps hours early would
 be an act of blackest treachery. But decision had not been reach ed-only> postponed.
 The rope around his waist was dragging a little to his left. With his feet secured against the rock as a pivot the upper part of his body was being moved toward the edge of the precipice as imperceptibly asrthe- hands of a clock. &

 A sudden thought struck him. l Perhaps Louis was dead. He was dead. He must be. He had made one sign all this long time. Then he could cut the rope. 70, God, give me sign. Give

 How much longer was he to endure this agony of indecision?

 will at last gave consent. But now the power of obedience
 was locked in his body. Will might

 would not obey. A subtle sense of frantic effort came to him along the rope.
 Suddenly, terrifically, he was torn loose from all holds and flung
 to safety away from the edge. He clawed frantically, regained ball. ance and lay relaxed in the throes of dreadful nausea, conscious of
 only one thing-the rope had brok- en.
 When at last he was able he sat up with his back to a rock and
 drew in on the slack rope. How far down it must have broken, he
 thought as foot after foot came up
 and still no frayed broken end ap- peared. He rested a moment and
 began again. At last the end came to his hand not frayed <. not broken but cleanly cut. (Copyright 1884, The Chicago { Daily News, Inc) Tomorrow: "Going Blonde', by

Realism and Idealism.

BY seeming contradiction the Amer
lean people are at once the most
realistic and the most idealistic
branch OF the human family.
Throughout the world they are cele-
brated for their practical genius and
for their sympathy and charity. They
are considered both "hard-boiled'
and easy" And countless examples
of the anomaly might be cited in
support of the accuracy Of such
judgment.
Even within the limits Of a single
individual character it is possible
to find the two extremes. David
Harum. for instance, was a keen
trader of horsefesh and had no
patience with deacons, but he also was
possessed of an instinct to protect
widows and was not above being per-
Euaded to substitute for Cupid and
act as matchmaker. The popularity
Of his figure in the pageant Of
Yankee fiction is comprehensive only
by recognition of the accuracy with
which he reflects his type.
Perhaps it would not be too much
to claim that the average American
is simultaneously sharp and soft,
pragmatic and sentimental. In some
regards he will be patriotic. in others
almost anarchiStic. He will fight for
the franchise and forget to vote, argue
for liberalism in religion and embrace
Intolerance, approve large grants for
the maintenance of schools aid make
a joke of college professors, praise
Shakespeare and patronize the movies,
laud good music" and tune In on
jazz, hate foreigners and initiate
them. believe in square deal" and
tolerate graft and corruption, give lip
service to law and order and applaud
lynching. be aggressive and cultivate
an inferiority complex
But the diagnosis is not finished
when only the plus and minus values
of the American species are named.
1t is their relation that Is important.
In some strange manner balance has
