Ill TIIS CXIEVASSE. ; The glacier will not he safe to day," .suiil tho old )i:ud Bhaking hU bead jjravcly. " Thrre is a yollow mlat ovtr the cap of old Heingen Alp, and iliat means u thaw." ""Well, and what of that?" asked tho younger man, whom I had chosen for my guide. " Neither one day's nor one month's thaw Is going to melt the Mer de Glaco." " No," said the old man, " but a thaw nometimea aplits tho glacier into cre vasses. I've seen tho Mer do Glace as full of cracks as the bottom of a dried up pond In summer. Many a good fellow has lost his lifo at the bottom of those chasms." "It's not a crack In the ice, nor a crack in an old man's brain, that is going to scare Franz lorg," said tho young man, laughing. " I've been guide hero, boy and man, these fifteen years, and I never heard of even a goat being loft In a crevasse." " Well, well, have your own way," muttered the old man, " wisdom is learned by experience. Happy foryou if you live to profit by it." i was somewhat' disturbed by the old guide's ominous words, but not de terred from my original purpose. I had come all the way from Geneva ex pressly to see the glacier, and it was not the prophesyings of a doting old man that was going to interfere with my object. I had but one day to spare. Tho weather was beautiful. The sky was brilliantly blue, and tho snow crowned caps of tho mountains "sparkled liko gigantic prisms in the sun." I, for one, could not see the yel low mist to which tho old man had re ferred, and was greatly inclined to at- . tribute his warning, as my guide had done, to & nfegrim of his old brain. Our preparations, consisting or nign boots, shod with spikes, steel-tipped staves and a wicker flask of spirits jipleee, were soon complete AVe set out at 10 In the forenoon, and by 12 ftiad reached the left bank of the great . ice river which we proposed to cross. I paused a moment awe-struck at lhf magnificent spectacle. Imagine a V.trantic river, perhaps two miles J broad, whirling between vast snow capped hills, suddenly frozen to a slow, ' ;moving torrent of ico. Vast heaps of ' 'j now lay upon it, and hero and there L, litres of rock, weighing tons, de ft iched from some gorge far up the fnpa.ssable ellits. Verv eiear us a narrow nssure or eft ra' diagonally across tho body f the iM; the sides, smooth as glass id of a dwp lustrous green, descend 2 sheer intyimpenetrublo darkness. 'Rfcoh a crevasse M this, the guide said, was Utvay to be found in the glacier, and only the most ordinary care was BfcoKsary to avoid it. ; We Hcrambled down upon the Ice and began to make our way cautiously acres it. Owing to "various obstruc tions, such as heaped up snow, or soft spots in the Ice, our progress was very slow. After an hour of hard work we bad not accomplished one-half of the distance. I sat down upon a cube of rock to rest and look about me. "A change had already taken place In the weather. The sun was obscured by a doneo, leadsn-colored mist, and the valley of thjn glacier Itself seemed to be choked with masses of whirling vapor. My outside garments were wet, and all around us the Ice kept up a cold and benumbing steam. As I sat In a far from comfortable frame of body and mind, I was startled by a far-off, dull, booming sound, the echoes of which seemed-to be repeated interminably among the hilh. "What was that?" I asked the guide. "Most likely an avalanche on the Heilgcn Alp," he replied. " They are always falling there " He was Interrupted by a repetition of the sound, much nearer to us. ac companied by a tremendous shock that seemed to shake the ice beneath us. I looked at him Inquiringly, and ob served that he was slightly pale. " A crevasse," he said, answering rny look with an air of unconcern that I could see was not wholly real. "When the ice parts it makes a noise like a cannon. It is nothing. However, we had better be moving. I don't like the looks of this fog." We arose and resumed our Journey, the guide directing our course by occa sional glimpses of the Alps through the wreaths of fog which every mo ment became more dense. We had not proceeded twenty steps, however, when the guide suddenly paused and mo tioned rae back. At that instant there came another report, so loud and sharp that I was absolutely stunned, and right in front of us a long. Jagged line ape.re4 In the ice, widening rapidly, until two sheer walls faced each other more than ten feet apart. Tfiough the chasm lay directly In our way, to cross it was out of tho jueetio. The guide turned quickly to the right, and we followed the brink of the crevasse, hoping to find a point where it ended or was narrow enough to spring over. The fog had now bocome so dense that we could not see a dozen steps before us, and we were forced to move at a snail's pace in order to avoid falling into some unseen abyss. We had gone on in this way perhaps fivo minutes, when there came another report, followed by a series of weaker shocks. The guide and I paused and looked around us. The situation had become, to say the least, embarrassing. During a momentary lift of the fog we saw all around us a perfect network of cracks, intersecting one another ut every angle. Then, as the vapor closed in again, we could hear on every side tre mendous crashings and grlndings, as the huge masses of ice approached or receded from each other. What to do now was a serious ques tion. To proceed a single yard rmight be to prncipitato ourselve to tho bot tom of some frightful chasm, and to remain where wo were might be merely .waiting until the ice should open beneath our feet and engukf us. Hut wo were 'speedily forced to a con clusion. bile we stood a few feet apart anxiously discussing our posi tion, there was another shock,. nd I was blinded by a shower of srrli par ticle of ice. '! When I cleared my eyes Jsaw. that another clttt had opened ircUy at my feet, between myself Nutd the guide. It was rapidly widrning, and in a few seconds would separate me from my companion. Without hesi tation 1 sprang across it and stood be side him. . lie looked at ma with a grave face. " We are In great danger," he said, simply. "Yea," I replied, as quietly as I could. " but we must do our best to get out of it. What do you advise?" " We must not stop here," ho said, peering into the fog; " we are evidently in the very center of these crevasses. If we could get nearer to cither bank we should be safer. I think we had better follow one of those cracks until we can cross it. We shall have to feel our way, lor tuis log maes every' thing." i "Very good, 1 replied; "lead on and I will keep close behind you." Crouching almost to our hands and knees we preceded slowly onward, keeping the main crevasse, a cleft some twenty feet wide, on our left. For nearly an hour wo went on in this way and still tho awfiH chasm yawned be hind us. Indeed, iy seemed to me that we had not moved lit all, and that I recogniied certain peculiarities in our surroundings as siniilat to those. I bad noticed at our point of departure. While I was pondet-ng this dis quieting notion, I saw tht guide stoop and pick up some object fiom the ice. lie turned and looked at ine with a white face. " We need go no further,' he said, holding up his apirit-lla.sk. " I dropped that an hour ago on the ine beside the crevasse." "la other words," said I, " we have been traveling in a circlo for the last hour." " Yes, the crevasse is all around us," he replied, with a drooping bead. " We are imprisoned upon an island of ice." I was Pilont for a moment, strug gling with my own dread. "Well," said I, " we must make the best of it and wait until the crevasse closes again." He shook his head sorrowfully. " The mass of ice we are standing upon will be more likely to split up and we be B.qt to the bottom." . " The casw is hopeless, then," I said. "We can do no more. Let us meet death as bravely ns we can." "Old Kobcr wa right," he mut tered. "Ha warned me and I have led you to your death." Let us not spetfk of that, I an swered. " I do not blame you, Franz. Let us shake hands, then sit down and wait for whatever Providence sees fit to do unto us." You are a brave man," he said, grasping my hand. Deairing to 'prepare myself for what was to come as well as I might, I withdrew a little distance from him, and sitting down covered my eyes with my hand. Meantime the grind ing and crashing went on all about me. The fog had settled down so heavfty that it was almost like night. Suddenly and without warning.there was a roar like a thousand thunder peals, a blinding dash of ice particles, and I felt as if I had been seized and hurled bodlfy Into the air. Thon.with Franz's wild cry in my ears, and the sound of a furious wind rushing past me, I seemed to be sinking down, down into unfathomable depths. Then came a violent jar and I knew no more. V hen consciousness returned I found myself at the bottom of a tremendous gorge, one wall of which receded up ward at an anirle. It was by sliding; down this incline that I had escaped being dashed to pieces only to await death in a more lingering and horrible form. The gorge was lighted by a pale-greenish glow from the polished faces of the ice, and far above I could see a narrow streak of outer day. My shock and fall had aroused a temporary resentment against my cruel fate. I looked around for some means of escape. One wall of the crevasse asolutely leaned over me, and this a cat could not have climbed; the other, as I have already said, sloped upward at a considerable angle, but it was so slippery that 1 could find no foothold upon it. I had with me ndthinsr bnt a stronsr clasp-knife, but with this poor tool I began desperately hacking niches for my hands and feet in the ice. It was slow and painful work. When at the end of four or five hours I found that I had not progressed more than ten yards upward, my heart sickened, I re laxed my hold, and slid, numbed and despairing, to the bottom again. I3y this time night had come upon the world above, and in the chasm it was perfectly black. I wrapped my coat about me and lay 'down In the crevasse, perfectly careless as to the end of it all. Some time toward morning, worn out with fatigue and excitement, I fell asleep. It must have been late in the day when I awoke. I started to my feet and looked around rae. A significant change had taken place in the condi tion of the crevasse. When I had fallen into it tho chasm had been fully twenty feet In width. It was now less than six. The cleft of sky was reduced to a mere white line far above The walls were approaching each other the crevasse was closing again. In the course of a few hours 1 should be crushed to pieces between the meeting masses of ice. The thought had now no terror for me. Mentally and physically I was benumbed and callous. I sat down upon the bottom of the crevasse, stol idly watching tho slow approach of the opposite wall, until it began to press against my feet; then I'arose to a standing posture and continued to eye it vacantly as before. Another hour went by; it might have been a moment or an age, so far as my dulled comprehension was con cerned. The walls had now approached so closely that 1 could touch the oppo site ono with my outstretched hands. At this juncture a small object struck me sharply upon tho head. I supposed it to bo a fragment of ice detached from the Ice-walls above, and paid ne attention to it. But the blow was re peated more violently, and I looked up carelessly to see whence it came. It was with a sense of ahsolutepain, so great was the revulsion from de spair to hopo, that I saw tho end of a knotted rope dangling before me. Some one had discovered my situation, who it was or how I did not (stop to Wiink, and had come to my rescue. I seized the rope and hurriedly knotted it under my arms, and, utter ing a shout to those above, was slowly and painfully drawn up through tho fast narrowing cleft. A dozen strong arms lifted me out into tho sunlight. Eager faces, among which I recognized those of Franz and the old guide, bent over mo; then I knew no more. My fainting- fit lasted only a few moments, but as I opened my eyes and sat up, the crevasse out of which I bad been drawn closed together with a terrific crash. I learned that I had been engulfed alone, and that Franz had been left safe upon a detached block of ice. At early dawn, finding the crevasse clos ing around and the glacifcr becoming passable again, La had hastened back to the village and procured ropes and assistance, with the hepe that 1 might still be alive at the bottom of the cre vasse. They had trailed the rope along the crevasse, knowing that if I was still alive it would attract my at tention. Fortunately for mo, the de vice succeeded, and I was rescued at the very last moment. 0 If, as they say, wo measure time only by our emotions, I should be at a loss to calculate the number of cen turies I passed through during that terrible night in the crevasse.
