Company could use It. 1 knew It was
a good thing the Instant I looked at

himself when tho rheumatism nips
him."
"1 know, daddy."
"Well. 1 gave him to understand
that we didn't want hi device. Hut
I offered to buy It from him nnd de
stroy It. He wouldn't sell. Somehow
I felt sine he would come back and
accept my offer. 1 wa positive he
couldn't get the capital be neoded to
start a plant and manufacture the

Somebody let httn have the money."
"Who was It. daddy?"

The girl suddenly laughed.
"Why. that a fine, daddy. And
what did the g'fted young mn do?"
"The gifted young man never turn

There was a little silence.
"Daddy," said the girl, "I want youi
advice."
"Hut I know nothing about hat or
gowns."
She softly laughed.
"It's a money matter .this time, dad
ry. I bought a h.ilf Interest In a
manufacturing plant a year ago and
I've been offered 400 per cent profit
on my Investment If I sell out."
The old man stared down at ber.
"That sounds good. What' the
plant railed?"
The girl hesitated.
"It's the Andrus Transmitter Com

"What!"
"Yes. daddy. I'm the partner who
must be consulted."
"You:"
"Ye, daddy. What do you advise
me to do?"
"I .el me get my breath, you ras

"All right, daddy. Take your time."
She looked toward the door. "Rob

entered the room. "Here la my part

The old man stared at the newcom

"Well, well," he muttered.
"And. daddy, Robert's price ha
gone up. I I found It out this after
noon. He wants me. too!"
The old man stared from Robert to
the girl. Her arm stole around his
neck.
"Say It's all right, daddy." ,
He sank back with a algh of resig

SISASTEK3 ON MOOT BLANC.
fa Worst f Mmmr Oeerre4 la 18T0
and foot Klexrea Live.
In the long list of disasters which
darken the history of Mont Blanc the
worst, according to Edward Whymper,
the famous mountain climber, oc
curred to a party In 1S70.
The amateur alpinist were two
Amerl nns. Mr. Randall and Mr. Mo
Bean, and a Scotch minister, the Rev.
(J. Mct orklndale. of GourocK. -iney
took with them as guide or assist
ants no fewer than eight perron from
Cham.mlx. a quite aufflrlent number.
Aa Is uaual. they passed the night In
the Inn upon the rock which are
called the brands Mulets.
On the next day, write Prof. Whym
per In the Strand, a number of per
sons below watched their progress
through telescopes. They were seen
to arrive on the summit and to begin
the descent. Ry that time the weather
had changed. The wind wa some
thing frightful.
Even 12.000 feet below It wa een
whirling the snow about bo that th
member of the party were obliged
to throw themselves down to avoid
being carried awny by It. Then th
summit became clouded and was not
seen again for eight days.
No one came back and on September
7 fourteen men from Chamonlx start
ed out to try to learn something. Had
weather came on again and It was not
until tho 17th that the fate or th
party was ascertained. When the
rescue party got up they found Mr.
M-Cnrl;lhdnle and two of the porters
about 7"io below the top, with their
head rl-zht way up, but with their
clothes somewhat torn, as If they had
slipped and fallen.
About three hundred feet higher up
they . time upon Mr. Mcllean nnd an
other porter sitting down, the former
with his head leaning on one hand
and the elbow on a knapsack, rope
colled up, batons, axe and knapsack
round nUiut them still containing a
little food.
I pon Mr. Mcllean a note book wa
found containing several entries In re
spect to the occasion. All the five
corpses were hard frozen. They were
put into sack and dragged down to
Chamonlx. It took three days to trans
port them. The bodies of the six
other have not yet been recovered,
but they will probably come to light
In the course of a few years.
One of the earliest avalanche acci
dent on Mont Wane occurred In 1S20.
when Dr. Hamel, a Russian, set out
on Aug. 1$ to go up Mont Hlanc ac
companied by two Englishmen and
eight guliles. They had ascended tc
a height of more than U.OuO feet
with live guides In front, who were
cutting or making step., when all at
on.-e the snow above them gave way
and the entire party was carried dowr.
a thousand feet over the slopes Uf
which they had tolled.
Snow again broke away above and
more or less covered up the whoU
party. Some of them struggled out
but three of the lea. ling guide vveri
hurled Iiko a crevasse and burled un
der an Immense mass of snow.
Ten year afterward, when conduct
Ing another tourist up Mont Plane by
the same route, one of the surviving
guides pointed to the crevasse nnc
said to his employer. "They are there.'
He wa wrong. At that time i lSJoi
the bodies were no doubt a consider
able distance from the spot where t lie
accident occurred, for the dismember
ed remains of the three unfortunate)
commenced to reappear at the lowei
i lid of the Glacier des Hnssons in 1861
more than four miles away In a direr
lino from the place where they perish
