The note of a horn, the snap of a
Whip, and the great coach swayed out
upon the winding road, gay atop with
bright steamer robes and trunks be
decked with multicolored labels; in
side, the blase ' Interest of middle aye
and the bright alertness of the young
girl, reaching out eagerly for new ex
periencesstrange scenes.
Jane and, the Elderly Ones mailt? a
comfortable party of three, and had
settled themselves for the journey.
But a few miles on in the valley', an
they stopped at the little town of An
dermatt, the empty seat waB filled a
man had stepped' In upon 1 horn' with a
courteous word of apology for his In
vasion. . .lie; spoke in German, y.-'
young and. goud looking and carritj

The great .shoulders drooping ever S'
little In thcir.loug cape Co! it. spoke ni
the student, and his cavernous potiCL'ts
bulged with fat volumes to be read e.i
route. ' ' '
But the calm eyes of the German
met Jane's shadowy orbs at the second
mile, and forthwith the wicked little
blind god began his mischievous worlt
It was frank and open love from the
first with meinherr. Jane parried at
first as best she might. But after
awhile her round American chin weni
up, and she snared her bird with de
liberation, while the chaperons looked
on with amazement. That the youn;
student knew no word of English and
Jane not a word of German lent a cev
tain ninuancy to the situation, but
proved in no way an obstacle. The El
derly Ones at least understood and
spoke in the foreign tongue, and tc
them the young man addressed him
self, while to Jane the dark, expressive
eyes had a language all their own.
Never was such a gallant and cour
teous traveling companion. He toiti
anecdotes of the country through whirl-
they were traveling, smothered the la
dies with edelweiss and the alpine rose'
which the peasants sold at the ro:il
side, and at the various stops ordered

road the coach seemed a Speck on tin
bare, brown face of the mountain. Tl:c
valley lay like a toy below, the rod;
llfted gaunt peaks into the unnatunt'
air and huge feathery tufts, of clou
hung sluggishly in the shadows.
The young man drank In Ion;;
breaths of exhilaration and drew tin
robes more cozlly about Jane's shoul
ders as the atmosphere grew colder.
And suddenly a -great wave of syt.
pathy, of unspoken tenderness, swepr
subtly between the two. They seentei:
alone together in thlB uncanny upp-v-air.
The world was beginning, and
this ragged, rugged bit of earth abou
them was pregnant with strange thin: s
unutterably sweet Just once to httvA
drawn near to her, to have wrapped
her close and felt those perilous tawn;'
waves of her hafr against his lips -that
would have been worth a life.
Once the Paris veil came loose anil
for a moment his long, strong finger"
fought with its little Jeweled pin and
ed ever so little In the shadow of the
dictionary, and knowledge of each oth
er grew apace.
That the girl was under their careful
espionage was enough for the Elderly j
Ones, and when the young German pre
sented his crcdientials the name was
found to be a very old and Illustrious
one, so they were content
The descent on the farther side of the
pass, the stupendous panorama of the
Rhone valley, with its weird, glittering '
mystery of virgin Ice, were clearly lost
upon two of the passengers, for the lit
tle straggling village of Gletsch lay a
spot Just below Gletsch and a parting
of ways.
The sepulchral looking hall of the
Glacier hotel made rather a gloomy
setting for the end of the little drama.
The young German must take his own
way, while Jane must go hers with the
Elderly Ones. The two clasped hands
for. several long minutes while they
said goodby wistfully and without the
dictionary, and when the blue eyes
looked away from the brown ones they
were suspiciously bright. But the great
broad shoulders stooped suddenly over
Jane, and their owner whispered'teiider
ly a magic word into her waiting ear.
It was "Auf wiedersehen."
That Jane should be snapped up un
ceremoniously in her first seasonally a
bold and unknown foreign count was a
matter of much comment and iio little
regret among her friends at hdine. It
Was in vain they tried by various
means to learn the romantic details of
her short engagement. But the broad,
distinguished figure of the foreigner
certainly made a handsome and strik
ing background for Jane's glistening
wedding gown. And they were mar
ried with the aid of the dictionary too!
Suicide Prevented.
The startling announcement that a
a preventive of suicide had been discov
ered will interest many. A run down
system, or depondency invariably pre
cede suicide and something has been
found that will prevent that condition
which makes cuieide likely. At the first
