The Huron Expositor, 1891-09-11, Page 2FAINT II4A.RTNEV1RWON FIR :LADY. BY CAROUNE EARL WHITE. ! 1 III. (contintied from last week.) Entranced arid wellnigh bewildered by all this splender, the girls at silent,hav- ing exhausted ;their repertory of expres- sions of aclmitation, but their guides telling them trlaey Must not wait any longer,they stoped only a few moments more to partake of ' some refreshment, aped again took up their march. After leaving the Vi ocher Glacier they came to a plain or v lley, which they crossed, andbetween seven and eight o'clock reached the ha 0 of the Finsteraarhorn. The ascent, hicle now began in ear- nest, was at ar8t over solid rock, but after a while t ey came to snow, which was frozen 8 hard, and t e path so steep,that steps had to be cat, in it. The axes of the fOur guidea were brought into requisitioa. They worked with a will, but the scent, which before had been comparatively easy, now became laborious and difficult. The girls found that they had to make constant use of their spiked poles to steady their steps and keep themt from slipping upon the ice. As they meunted higher and higher they were impreesed with a sense of the awfulness of the perfect silence around them. No aotieds of the lower world from which they had come, and which seemed now so far beneath them, pene- trated to this timmense height. The solemn stillness 'vas never disturbed by lowing cattle, by flight of birds, or any sign of animal life. Occasionally the roar of a distar‘t avalanche was heard, but that was all? The sound of !their own voices was a relief to the party. They laughed and joked, and made an effort to talk inces- santly, as much te keep up their spirits as for any other Ireason, but Max did not enter into their gayety. He did not like the look of the tweather, and appeared anxious and abstracted. The aun,which had risen so brilliantly a fewthours be- fore, had now gone under a cloud. The heavens were asiuming a grayish uni- formity of colore and the wind was be- ginning to rise. 1 It was intensely cold, and the whole party would have suffered greedy had it not been for the violent exercise they we taking. They were now approaching a most difficult portion a the ascent. The way led over a narro •• a uttress of rock, with a precipice on eit er hand. On one aide a sheer wall of ri ck went down thou- sand's of feet to the glacier; on the other, the descent though lees precipi- tous, was quite; as terrifying, as it bristled with ja ged, uneven stony points. Max decl• red that the danger was too great of 'lowing them to go any longer unprot cted, and they must be roped together for fear of falling. The guides took the ropes which they had brought with; them, and proceeded to rope three together in three different groups. Johann Muller took the lead, with Gretchen in t e middle, and behind her Efelfenstein ; L1rich Stamm had be- hind him Clara Knab&I and Ernest Lauber; and Max, with his usual solici- tude for Lena, and thinking she would be safer between two guides, placed himself before and Carl Bender behind her. Steps were cut in the ice as they went up the slippery incline, and they were soon safely past the dangerous spot, much to the relief 4f Max. But now a new solicitude assailed him. They had gone but a short dis- tance farther when it began to snow. He said nothing at first, hoping it might prove a mere flurry, and would be over in a few moments, but as they kept on and on, nearing the summit of the mighty mountain, which for some time past had well merited its name of Fin- eteraarhorn, so deck and gloomy had been its aspect, the white Hakes fell thicker and faster, 'obscuring the view of everything around them. Max at length stopped, held a colloquy with the three other guides, and then announced it as their unanimous decision that they must turn back iminediately. "It was dangerous to proceed any feather," he said; the snow would soon obscure their landmarks, and prevent them perhaps from finding the ri ht path, and then f what was to becoi e of them ifthey were lost in a snow ;storm at an altitude of 12,000 feet ?" The girls, who were beginning to suffer intensely from fatigue, from the driving snow in their faces, and from the piercing cold, e nsented at once to turn around, alttiou h expressing some disappointment at tI.e failure of their hopes. They consoled themselves, how- ever, with the reflection that their at- tempt was not an entire failure. They had gone more thah three-quarters of the way to the top, aid until the snow begau to fall they had had a magnificent view of the surrounding country. The snow, which fell faster and faster, facil- itated their doecent es it had by this to a considerable leas likelihood of the same time it time covered the ice depth, and there wan their slipping • at added to their danger, as in some places it obliterated their foilmer footsteps, and rendered them less elerta.in of the way they ought to take. 1 When they came a ain to the narrow buttrese which veae t 0 most dangerous part of their route, ited over which they roust pass in single file, Max, with Lena and Carl Bender, wer in the rear, the i , rest of the party bein in front of them. 'All passed over safely ill it came to Max and his two companiOne. The former,in his desire to keep as fir away as possible Ifrom the side which went down to the l glacier, pressed rather closely to the op- posite side, where the brink of the precipice was hidden py the anoiv which clung to the rock, e d made the path seem wider than was reaily the case. Bender, misled by the now, put his foot too close to the edge, ! nd it went over; attempting to recover I imself,l'e slipped and then fell entirel 1 over the brink, dragging Lena with ihirn. • Max, when he felt the firet press re from behind, iiii instantly planted the spike of i his pole so firmly in the ice the he was enabled to hold his position, b t the tope, not beiug strong enough tC bear the weight of two persons, brokel just behind him, and Lena, with Ben dr, went :over the precipice.

Yo will be dashed t death against the sharp edges and poin s of the rock. We sha I never see you a ive again." " It is not so dangerous as all that," rej ined Max. "An even if it were," he 4dded, with a littl sob in his voice, "why should I care t live if Lena is gone?" "You have your mother, though, Max," she pleaded. "You are her maiastay and the joy f her life. You have your young si ters also. What would they do without you ?" "I do not mean to lace 'my .life, Gretchen," he returned; "orto take any Inneceasary risk; but 1 rr ust satisfy mye If as to the fate o Lena and Bender. I thilfik that I shall be able to keep my- self teem being aeriou ly-injured by the sharp projections of t e rocks " "Is there no way, t ough, by going down lower on the mountain and around, by which you•could reach the foot of the precipice ?" urged pi-retchen. "There is none, h replied. "And evetqf there were, it is not there 1 wiele to go. If they h ve fall n to the foot cif the precipice here is no hope for them." Ileffenstein and the there tl en united in endeavoring to dies ade hi 1 from his rash attempt, but they soon eaw that it was of no avail.

He rem mbered hive noticed 41 previous asc nts of Finsteraarhora that at this very poi tbe.rocky buttress, on the side n THE HUR 14.1.D2OSIT which Lena and Bender had gone over, at some distance below, there was a rocky ledge running around the moun- tain; but just haw far down it was he could not say, or whether it was wide enough to retain enY body falling on it from above with a tendency to re- bound. He could only trust in God, and breathe an inward prayer that all his efforts would not prove to be in vain. But what Was that which he felt? Sure- ly he had come to a stop, and although his feet sank in the snow, that must be solid ground which he touched. Yes, it was indeed solid ground, the very ledge of'rook which he had conjectured • must be somewhere about thia spot, and an emotion of devout gratitude filled his breast. His first care, as soon as he recovered himself, was to seek for'Lena and, Carl Bender. The snow had covered every object as with a shroud, but stooping down and feeling his way along care- fully, he soon came to two white moueds, which, when itthe snow was pushed off, he saw were their two eager- ly sought companions, He tore the rope from around his waist, so that it might be drawn up as aiignal to those aboye, and then went to work with feverish heste to ascertain the condition of those 1,Ying there so cold and white. The first one he came to was Ben Max stooped down, and taking hold him stiddenly, was surprised to see open his eyes and stare confusedly him.' He hastened to raise him to a ting position, and after brushing all snow -from his face, to give him a g dose of whisky from the bottle he ried in his pocket. In a few moment savethat he was becoming consciou his surroundings. Leaning him aga the wall of rock for a support, leaving the whisky to do its work warming him into life and activity, hurried to Lena„ every moment seem to him an age until he could attend her. He brushed the snow from face and figure, and bending down look at her closely, he felt .sure that was dead, she lay there so white beautiful, with noSign of life visi In an agony of apprehension,. he haat ed to tear open iher shawl and jac and drees, in order to put his ;hand her heart, which he thought be f faintly beating. He took hold of wrist, and this time he was sure that detected a slight pulsation. He rui .her up, and resting her against his kn he rubbed ' her palms briskly; th melting snow by holding it in its han he sprinkled her face with the water had obtained. He soon had the exqu ite delight of seeing signs of returni consciousness., She sighed faintly, a opened, her eyes. Taking the flask whisky and putting it to'her mouth, succeeded in getting her to swallow a sm portion of its contents. 'Before long a breathed regularly, and gave tokens returning strength and auimation. M saw that she was making an effort speak, and beet down lower to hear he In a very low voice; but slowly and d tinctly, she said, ", Am I in heaven?"
