The Huron Expositor, 1891-09-04, Page 2, t4 I ' • 'A Ir 4 4 FA INT HEART NEVER WON FAIR LAIYZ- o " BY CAROINE „EARL WHITE. In one of the llovely green valleys of Switzerland, in the neighborhood of the village of Gritidelwald, lived a maiden named Lena Walbach. She was much superior to the ordinary peasantry in position; her father owned a small piece of ground and about fifty sheep, as well -as several cows and a horse. Lena lived with her father and mother and little brother in a pictureeque chalet, She had attended the village school at Grindelwald until sixteen years of age, when her parents deemed that she had all the book -learning eecoseary for. a " Madchen," iota that she must devote herself to the affairs of the imam This she had done now for four years, though not to such an extent ae to prevent her joining in all the amusements of her young companions and he festivities of the neighborhood. She Was equally ready to work or, to play. Into -every- thing which she attempted she threw the whole warmth of her ardent, sym- pathetic nature. She Was, as might be supposed, the. pride of her parents' hearth, who did net believe there was a better or a prettier girl to he found in all Switzerland. Pretty she certainly was, with her black hair, which she wore in broad braids down her back, joined together by a silver arrow; her dark blue eyes 'veiled by long black , lashes; her featuees almost classical in their outline; and a brilliant color in her cheeks, bet kening the splendid physical health w ich she possessed. Not far from t e Walbach domicile lived Lena's moat btimate end faithful friend, Gretchen Hirschfeld, Gretchen's father was not se blessed with worldly goods as Franz Welbach,but that was a circumstance never dwelt upon for a moment by the generous Lea, who full of affection for the oompanion of her sehootclays, as well as of her maturer years; had scarcely a thought in her mind or a feeling in her heare which she concealed from Gretchen. There was another schoolmate living in the neighborhood, for whom Lena en- tertained sentiments of a somewhat mix- ed nature. This Was' Max Ritter, a young Man who liVed with his widowed mother in a modeat dwelling on the road between Lauterbrannee E aid. Grindel- weld, and whose business was that of guide to the moat celebrated tspd moat difficult ascent of the surroueding moun- tains. There was uot a more, worthy young min in all the country round, nor one of finer physique, than ' Max. Ac- customed from boyhood to accompany his father, who was also a guide, for a portion of the way at least, in his ascents of the mountains, exercise in the opsn air had given him a sinewy and muscular frame of great streegth, as well as a beautifully shapeci and perfectly deve- loped figure. His face, which was not critically handsome, was yet extremely attractive from its frank, honest expres- sion. Short brown curling locks clus- tered round a brow I naturally of great whiteness, but which by means of ex- posure to the sun had, like the rest of his face, put on a sotnewbat darker hue, while his bright blue eyes beamed with an expression so captivating as to be well- nigh irresistible. His nose and mouth though not those of an Adonis, were by no means ill -shaped, and suited well the rest of his open, ingenuous countenance. The tout ensemble was Ouch as was calculated to find favor in the eyes of many women, but whether one of those women was Lena she was herself scarce. ly able to decide. There never was a time since she could remember that Max had net been her devoted admirer, her faithful "cavalier servant." When children together she was never allowed to carry her books to and from school, unless Max was kept at horee by illness. The first fruit and nuts of the season, with specimens of the eggs of all the various birds of the country round, and the fairest and fragrant flowera, were all laid at her feet as trophies of his prow- ess, and as proofs of the unalterable affection with which he regarded her. When no one else could procure the beautiful delicate Alpine I flower, the Edelweias,Max knew whereet was to be found, and thought no fatigue too great if he could -obtain the coveted rarity for his beloved Lena. He even went so far upon one Occasion as to capture and bring to her a young “Gemse," or chamois goat, thinking to please her by bestowing upon her a pet of a different nature from any that she had; ever pos- sessed ; but the wild untamable creature proved so intractable that, after many unsuccessful attempts to establish friend- ly relations, Lena was, glad to reittore it to its native fastnessee and unapproach- able crags. Frans Walbach and his wife beheld this youthful friendship without appre- hension, nor did they !Beek to place any barrier to the intimacY of the • two chil- dren as they grew to tnan's and woinan's estate.. They had a sincere respect for the widow Riter, and knew how well she had brought up her only son, and what ample root her virtuous instruc- tions had taken in the rich soil of her boy's ardent, generons nature. They knew what a faithful eon he had been to lher in the sup - i her, and that since he death of his father, which had °cc rred 8ome years before, he hed assiste pert of herself and his , two little sisters. Lens's parents kneti that a good mon would be likely to melee a good husband, and. although they thought their darling daughter might have lookedbigher in a worldly point of view, they felt perfect- ly satiafied that if Lerta's affections cen- tred themselves upon eke no obstacle should be placed to tileir union. But did she love Maxwith that fervor which would lead her to prefer him to aIl the world? She could scarcely have given a reply to that question herself. There were times when she thought that she did; but then there were other times when she was by no means cer- tain. It was now three years since he had firat asked her to be his wife—when she had reached the age of seventeen, and he had realized that she was grow- ing into womanhood—and yet she had never given hirn a positive answer. She had neer said " Yee " ; but, on the other had, she had never ' distinctly and emphatically aaid ' No," and that fact afforded him some encouragement. She had felt sometimea inclined to make use of the latter monosyllable, in answer to his appeals that she would engage herself to him, and to tell him that he was wasting time in coarting her,and he would better look elselhere for a wife, • r • but whenever she apo resells the stib- ject with the severit and d termination necessary to give hi so deo ded a dis- missal, her heart fai ed her when she saw the misery depioted up'n his coun- tenance at her -first 1 timati n.of what she was about to say. In tr th, she was a little spoiled by hi consts t and un- wavering tenderness, not su s ciently so to permanently injur her oh raoter, but enough to prevent er full realizing the treasure she pose seed in the entire devotion of such a n ble n Sure.

Still, she did not feel satisfied with her- s If. She had yielded in some degree to •t e promptings of conscience, but she as not yet prepared to do, what -she et peoted was the right thing. All with- iiher was in a whirl, and a demon of u rest seemed to pongees her. She gladly welcomed any diyersionor any adventure that promised to take her out of herself One evening at a reunion of all he ung friends at the house of a neighbor ax, who had been absent for several d ys acting as guide to some Englishmen iz the Recent of the Juneau was re - c untink their adventures, when Lens abruptly exclaimed: ," How exciting that must be! How I should like to try it! Why can't we make up a party, Max, and climb the Jungfrau !" ' "Climb the Jungfrau 1" repeated Max, ae if doubting the evidence of his senses. "What on earth, Lena, could put such an idea into your head ?" . '" Whatever put it there is of little nsequence " laughingly replied Lena; l' ' but one thing is certain, it has come t stay. I want to Climb the Jungfrau, a id I think there are others who will b ar me company. You are a splendid c imber, Clara," she said, turning to 0110 o her friends, named Clara Knabel ; " wouldn't you like to try it ; and you, arie ; and you, Frieda ?" addressing a Term others. " And you, Mr. Helfen- et in, would like to be of the party, w uld you not?" It was Helfenstein's cue at present to do everything to propitiate her, as he w s uneasy at the change he had re• m rked in her behavior toward hirn ; a d besides that, the idea of the aseent of a high mountain rather pleased him so he answered • promptly, and in hi m st gallant manner : "Certainly. a •ould be most happy to make the ex c rsion in such company.", "Ernest, would you not like to go to. ; and you, FritzV' continued Lena, , a dressing Ernest Lauber and Fritz H. ;isee two of the young men living near b , whom he had known from child hod. hey both replied that if they could sp re the time from their work they w uld very willingly join the party. "` Now, Max, you cannot refuse,, ' she pelmisted. "You see how many of us aro ready to go." "` But, Lena," urged Max, "you don't know what you ask. No woman has ever gone up the Jungfrau." 1' If no woman has ever done it yet, that is another reason why I wish to show that we can do it," gayly rejoined Lena. ' You have no idea, though, of the fa igue," he continued. "It tires out st ong men who are accustomed to cli bing." . 'But you forget Max," sheturged, hat we are not unaccustomed to climb - in . We have been often to the glaciers of the Gr,indelwald, and there is not on of us who has not been up the Wen- ge n Alp. You will not object any lo ger, will you, when you know that I want it So much?" This last was uttered in a lower tone an with an air of mingled archness an tenderness that it proved quite irre- sis ible to poor Max, who had only str rigth enough left to contend, that ins ead of the Jungfrau the ascent eh uld bs made of the Finsteraarhorn. Th t was, he said, higher than the Jungfrau, but not BO ditiicult to cllimb, and if Lena desired the glory of reach- ing the summit of the highest moun- tai , that was the best suited to her pu pose. o this change Lena finally assented, an. it was decided that some dey in the following week should be selected for sta ting upon their excursion, provided the consent of the girls' parents could be •btained. ranz Walbach and his wife did not reg rd the project with approval; but the4 were won over, as Max had been, by ena's wiles to giving her the neces- sar permission, atter hearing that the par y would be provided with an ample nur liter of guides. a I I he parents of some of the other girls ref sed point-blank, BO that there were left finally only five—Lena, Gretchen, Cla a Knabel, Helfenstein, and Ernest Lauber (Home not being able to get aw )—besides Max and three addition. al g ides, to so nstitute the company. ax had engaged three of the best gut es that were to be found, Johann, Mu ler, Ulrich Stamm, and Carl Bender, wh were as well, or nearly as well, ac - qua nted with the high mountains of the ernese Oberland as he was, which was saying a great deal, since he was mos accomplished in his line of busi- ness ax said that he thought it would be bett r to make the ascent by way of the Aag•ischhorn, to which the other guides &gni d, and the following Tuesday, the 51h •f August, was fixed upon as the tim for starting. • It 0 the appointed day, all their pre. par tions laming been completed. they set ut early in the morning for Vieech, whi h they reached in time to ascend the eggischhorn as far as the Hotel Jun frau the same afternoon. All the is were provided with mountain dree es, and long poles, or batons, with shar -pointed ends, and the men with pole terminating in spiked axes, the axe ids, for cutting sieps in•the ice, and the pikes for securing a firm hold. A they climbed up on their way to the . otel Jungfrau, the girls were in rapt res at the wonders spread out be• fore their astonislaed gaze. They had a fine iew of the Marjelleu See, lying in solit ry beauty among the mountains, bou ded on one side by a vertical wall of ice sixty feet in height, a portion of the great Aletsch Glaeier. The quiet depths of the lake, undisturbed from any other cum., were from time to time stirred by the fall of large pieil.es of ice from -the glacier overhead. The Jung - frau rose before them, its splendor un- dimmed by any cloud or mist, and 80 nearthat it seemed as if they might easily attempt its ascent instead of that of th;)Finsterearhorn, but Lena knew that t would be of no use to propose it, as Max evidently considered the attempt so dangerous. They remained at the Hotel Jung- - frau until the following afternoon, when they set out immediately after their mid-day meal for the place where they were to pees the night. This was a grotto formed by clefts in the moun- tainseand was called the Cave of the Faulberg.
