in the Mist

CHIPS, of Brookfield School, is refused pro- motion, after 20 years. On a Tyrol holiday he goes climbing, and loses his way. Suddenly ho bears a girl calling in the fog.

AFTER an hour of climbing in the fog, feeling every.

step of his way, often loosening stones that bounded and rumbled into some hidden abyss below, Chipping drew himself carefully up on a narrow ledge.

Mist floated thickly past. Above his head was one of those mountain monuments begging the traveller to pray for the soul of one who had perished there.

Giving it a grim, sidelong glance, Chipping continued on the slightly ascending ledge, often obstructed by outjutting rocks.

At one of the bends he halted to utter a sten- torinn "Hel-lo-o}"

"Hello!" answered a giri's voice so close that Chipping gave a startled jump.

"Why, well-or---I don't see you," he said. stepping around the bend.

"Here I am," said the voice quite close to him, He saw nothing but mist at first, but as he advanced slowly, the form of a fair, beautiful girl, Wenzing suit, Ecarf and a feathered hat, took phone.
