It was a beautiful morning after the storm and in the light, crisp air of that great altitude every object stood out as clear and distinet as if all natifre rejoiced, and no thought of death was possible. The green branches of the many pines were heavily weighted with the late- ly fallen snow, and the level expanse of Meadow Lake with its white cov- ering glistened in the bright sunlight like an immense mirror. Not a word was spoken nor a sound heard in the still air, except the swish of our snow shoes, as we glided rapidly toward Carlton’s cabin.

The body was wrapped in blankets and tenderly carried to the hotel, and prepared at once for burial. The grave was dug near an old pine tree through twenty-four feet of snow, and steps had to be cut to lead down to the ground. There was no minister in the camp, but one of the women brought out a prayer book and the burial service was read and probably each one of us sent up some sort of a prayer, that he might make a hap- py landing on the other shore. Over a hundred men and women on snow shoes accompanied the body from the hotel to the grave, the wind singing a soft requiem as we laid the body away in that great white sepul- cher and commented upon the-singu- lar fatality that had carred him safe- ly through years of bloody strife, to at last meet his death in that strange manner 8500 feet above his home of | early days on the rock-bound shores of the Atlantic. rr eet —— Briefs from Everywhere.
