Goodbye, Mr Chips.
BLUE
THIPPING, a master at Brookfield CHE
School, for 20 years never attained popularity with his boys.
In the Tyrol on holiday he is lost in a mountain fog. A girl's voice calling loads him to find Katherine Ellis.
THEY met a searching party, headed by Max
Staefel and Kathie's friend, Flora, and several guides coming to hunt for them.
The girls fell into each other's arms, while Max shook Chipping's hand again and again. Kathie told of Chipping's climb up the moun- tain in the mist, going, as he thought, to rescue her when she was in danger.
The Tyroleans knew the dangers that beset a traveller overtaken by the treacherous mists of the mountains, and the story of his action soon spread among them.
After getting thoroughly warmed, they were invited into the bar, where a dozen or more persons were gathered.
The landlord poured a glass of cognac for everyone and then raised his own at arm's length.
"To the health of the hero of the mist," he said, "the honourable Mr. von Chipping!"
Everybody raised their}
glasses and drank, shouting, waile Chipping and Kathe smiled at each other in an
