(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

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

A deadly horror fel [upon all the rest

into tears and lamentations, bewailing

retchen, who had ceased weeping
and sobbing long en ugh to lieten to
this colloquy, exclai nod: ' Oh, Max,
I beg you not to thin of sum a thing?
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

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.
"I will tell you ust wh t I want
you to do," he said, speaki g to the -
four men, who gath red ar und him [

which Lena and Bender had gone over,
at some distance below, there was a
rocky ledge running around the moun-

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

him stiddenly, was surprised to see
open his eyes and stare confusedly

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

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
