A Sensitive
Lover
By SARAH BAXTER
Barnard was walking tbe floor.
When a man walks tbe floor with a
knit brow It is evident there in some-
th In k on bis mind. And there was
something on Barnard's mind—u good
deal, in fact. He was a worshiper of'
kfiss Brayton, and Miss Brayton was
very ill. Barnard hud beard that the
doctors were desirous of making the
experiment of a transfusion of blood,
but had not tbua far found any beafty
person who was willing to give up bis
or her blood for tbe purpose.
Barnard bad offered bimself to Miss
Brayton, and she had refused him.
He was now ready to give ber bis
blood or his life, if necessary, but
would not this be placing ber under an
obligation wblcb might cause her to re-
consider ber refusal 7 11 seemed to him
like taking an unfair advantage of ber;
that it wotld be an obtrusion, an un-
gracious act, rendering Ulm liable to a
charge of trying to win her by unfair
means. Besides, Barnard bad alwnys
suld that unless tbe girl he wanted
wanted him, and that very badly, be
didn't want ber.
How would it do for him to give ber
bis blood without ber kuowlug from
whom tbe gift came? Barnard stup-
id short in bis walk and tugged ot
bis mustache. Then be took up bis
hat, crammed it down on bis bead
nud hurried away to Miss Brayton’^
physician.
After uu Interview it was settled
that the Invulld should receive Bar-
nard's blood without knowing It. This
could be done by performing the "op-
eration in u room dimly lighted, with
Barnard’s face covered. No one but the
doctor and tbe couple operated on need
be present, and tbe identity of tbe
blood given need not be divulged.
Tbe opera Hon was i*erformed, and
Miss Brayton regained ber health and
strength. Barnard had the satisfac-
tion of having saved her life, but saw
no more evidence of n predisposition
for him than before. Indeed, it was
not long after the operation that be
beard sbe was engaged to a man
whom be had feared as a rival. This
threw Barnard Into despondency.
One evening at a young persons'
gathering, at which Barnard, Miss
Brayton and her fiance, Mortlake, were
present, Barnard heard a young lady
near him say that there was a very
pretty romance between Miss Brayton
nnd Mr. Mortlal a. Barnard pricked
up Ills ears, but failed to learn what
the romance was. But a week later
he met a friend who asked him why
he had not got In nhead of Mortlnke
when Miss Brayton was 111 and offer
her his blood. Thus it came out that
Mortlake had saved his fiancee’s life.
Tills was a romance with a venge-
ance. Mortlake had undoubtedly won
the girl by claiming to have saved her
life at the risk of his own.
That evening Barnard was walking
the floor in a more disgruntled state
of mind than before. Ills rival bad
beaten him by a lie, and he was not
In a position to set the matter right.
True, he had only to refer the matter
to the surgeon who performed the op-
eration. but this would be interfering
between a girl and ber lover—a dog in
the manger business that was far be-
neath a man of Barnard’s sensitive
honor. On the other hand, whnt right
had he to permit the gtrl he loved to
marry a man who had lied to get her?
Barnard, being In a quandary, remain-
ed In a quandary. These sensitive fel-
lows who keep themselves In the back-
ground are usually overlooked by girls
who. did they know the fuels, would
most assuredly prefer them. Barnard
was too refined in feeling to save ei-
ther himself or the girl he loved.
But one morulng Miss Brayton, be-
ing indisposed, sent for her physician.
During Ills visit she told him that
there was a certain secret which she
knew he wus pledged to keep, hut she
knew It all the snme. Then she an-
nounced tp him her engagement
“I congratulate him,” said the doc-
tor. “He took Considerable risk for
you and deserves you."
“How he must have loved me!”
“I fancied he wns doing it for love.”
"It would have been ungracious for
me to refuse him after the sacrifice
he made for me.”
“You have got a flno fellow. I took
h fancy ‘o Barnard the moment I laid
eyes c .m."
“Ba rd!"
“Yes. Barnard. You're engaged to
Barnard, uren't yon?”
Miss Bmyton's eyes grew as big as
butter plates.
“Wns It Mr. Barnard who saved me?”
"Why—yes—I thought you knew.”
The cut was out of tbe bag.
Soon nfter this revelntlon Mortlake
received a note from his fluncee stating
Hint she must break her engagement
with lilm, since she had discovered
that she could not love him.
Barnard heard tlint the girl he loved
wns free, hut since she hnd pledged
the doctor to keep mum he hnd no Idea
of the cause of the breaking of her
engagement. One day he received a
note nsklng him to call. He did so.
nnd Miss Brayton frankly told him that
In refusing him she hnd mistaken her
feelings. Barnard was not alow In giv-
ing her an opportunity to correct the
mistake. They were married, nnd It
was not till tbe day after the wedding
that Ids wife told him the secret.
“Why didn’t you tell me that be-
fore?” he asked In an injured tone.
“Because I didn’t propose that you
should Indulge In any more nonsense.”

A Farewell to
the Mountains
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN
Jerry Whitcomb, a young American,
had a hobby—mountain climbing, On
several successive summers ba went to
some one of tbe principal mountain re-
gions of tbe world and scaled a peak.
But hta favorite location was Swltser-
laud. Indeed, that la tbe favorite moun
tain country of moat persons. Whether
or not it is finer than tbe others ia a
question, but there is oqe thing about
it that gives it sui>erlor attraction. It
is in the heart of Europe and In tbe
line of tourlsta.
Whitcomb bad a favorite guide who
lived at Sclieldegg, a point from which
climbers have been loug used *o start
to ascend tbe Juugfrau. This was
before a railroad was projected to car-
ry tourlsta to the top of tbe mountain,
and Schmitt, tbe guide referred to, had
a chalet not far above Heheidegg.
One day when Whitcomb bad passed
the crest of middle age be appeared at
Sc-heldegg and found bis old guide
smoking his pipe in front of his chalet.
"My old friend,” said the American,
“I huve come for a lost climb. I will
soon be old and not able to make tbeBc
ascents. 1 wish you to pilot me once
more.”
“Ah, herr,” replied the guide, “don't
talk that way, I am several years old-
er than you, aud yet 1 must go on
climbing, else I and iny family will
starve.”
There was a sadness in this reply
that made Whitcomb sorry for what he
hud suld. “Ah, well, Schmitt, you
have bccu used to climbing nil your
life. You will alwnys be at home In
the mouutuius.”
Schmitt’s little daughter was play
lug near HDd at the moment she called
out:
"Pnpa, who Is that woman over
therer
“What woman, my child?"
“The womuii on the glacier.”
Schmitt turned to Whitcomb and
asked him If he could see a woman on
the glacier, his own eyes being not so
good us they hud been. Whitcomb
l>ccred in the direction of the glacier,
but said he could see no woman.
Schmitt turned pule.
“Something troubles you,” said Whit-
comb.
“It Is the spirit of the mountains.
She appears only to children and never
even to a child except she Is going to
claim u victim."
The fact that the two men were to
climb the Jungfrau made this state-
ment a matter of concern to them.
Whitcomb could not bring himself to
believe that the child snw what she
claimed to have seen. Some one of
the cracks in the tee or a rock must
have uppeured like a woman’s figure.
He said ns much to Schmitt, hut tbe
latter shook tils head.
"Many children," said the guide,
“have seen the Juugfrau and never
except that one or more persons have
boon killed on the mountain within n
short time after the nppeurance of the
specter."
They set out uhout 3 o'clock In the
morning Intending to make the climb
during a single d. - Whitcomb had
forgotten the vision of Schmitt's little
daughter and was \ ry cheery. His
guide was quite the reverse, seeming-
ly being much cast down. On the way
they picked up another guide, muking
a party of three, aud when they came
to the dangerous part of their climb
they Joined their bodies by a rope.
Schmitt In the lead. Whitcomb In the
center, the other guide, whom Schmitt
addressed as Ilnus, In the rear.
They cllmljj'd till noon before reach-
ing Hie summit; then, looking out on
the expansive field of snow peaks.
Whitcomb gave way to rhapsody.
"Goodby, old friends," lie snld. “It’s
many a day’s comimnlonship we’ve
had, but now we must part. You who
have existed for ages In your present
form doubtless will exist for ages to
come. Your snow covered rocks will
endure for millions of years after my
puny body has mingled with the dust.
My friends, farewell.”
"Acli! Herr, do not talk that way.
There Is something prophetic In what
you say.”
"I don’t mean," replied Whitcomb,
“tlint I am going to leave this world
Immediately. 1 expect to live to be nn
old mun. But I'll do no more climb-
ing.”
“No, herr, you’ll do no more climb
lug," replied Schmitt, with a solemnity
that passed through the other like n
chill mountain breeze.
They spent an hour on the summit,
then turned to descend. They had not
gone far before one of those sudden
snow squalls that come on so frequent-
ly out of a fine day enveloped them.
Schmitt was In the advance aud halt-
ed, ns though lie had lost Ids bearings.
Then lie moved on, but staggered.
Presently the snow gave way beneath
him, and he went down, dragging
Whitcomb with him. Hans threw him-
self In the opposite direction. The
rope snapped. Schmitt and Whitcomb
slid out of slght'with the snow, liana
fell Into a snowbank not a dor.cn feet
below.
The storm soon passed, nnd nuns,
making his way back to Scheldegg, re-
ported the accident nnd the disappear-
ance of his companions. A searching
party went out to look for the bodies
and found that tbe two men hnd gone
over a precipice a thousand feet deep.
Descending, the searchers saw that
they had doubtless fallen Into a
crevasse. The American sleeps among
the mbuntalns he loved nnd to which
he bad bidden farewell.
