When Ket ring's footing failed he fell 1(X f.el, hit snow-bauk and slid "11 feet His body was found irusheiag.iiust the risks on that wild slope at whose base lies lonely Chasm Lak. long's Peak, in Uoc'y Mountain National Pari, Colorado, is one of the coun'ry's most famous r.omntains, and is regarded as the "big climb'' of that section.

It is frequently scaled by inexperienced persons along the conventional route by way of the Kevlmle and of the western snd southern faces, hut the east face still all but the hnrdieet or the most experienced elimliers. The east face is a aheer, snow-streaked granite pr-elpioe of almost architectural symmetry and grace, but whose hardness and nm'siveness impart a dour and threa'eniiig aspect. On its lower elopes, just rbove Uoulder Field, a year ami Icilf ago was found the frozen body of Miss Agnes Vaille, who had nndcr'aken to be the first woman to scale the east face. She had, while a blizzard was blowing snd the thermometer 14 below rero, succeeded in doing so with the aid of Alpine guide. Itut the effort had left her exhausted and delirious and, on the way down, ss guide west for help, (-he succumbed to the fury of the win I and the cold.

Ionj's Peak, towering 14.2.".") feet above sea level, is the gathering place for storm clouds, which wreathe and envelop it. And the negot ation of the east face can be accomplished only after the most arduous and breath-'aking labor In places here the preca ions grip of few hobnails on granite is all that stands between the climrxr and the chasm. Hut the fatnlif ie-4 caused by the east face have only spurred the inter-ft of men of sporting instinct.

F.aeh year, as hundreds take the easier trail, a few hardy souls begin the uncertain and gruelling grind -ip ling's catlie-dral like facade. Ketring's death is unfortunate, hut as a youth living in the mountains, lie undertook the east face wi'h the full knowledge of the terrible penalty and the mountain has exacted of those ho tail to conquer it.

There are people, who enjoy sar'ng money for no other reason Ihan the pleasure of saving money. It Is a passion like drink, and a hobby like collecting chins. 'flits the old-fashioned view of thrift. saving Is at bct no mere than a defense sgslast life's uncertainties but It provides nothing for a rlclier ami more fruitful living than money wisely s'iU can give. Mere hoarding Is not enough.

It is as unproductive reeklcs spending. Hefwecll the two extremes lives the course that Is profitable to the Individual and the Htnte equally. Kvery act of spending encourages some form of hutosa ac-llviiv.

The fishermen wer speeding homeward before the favoring hrcere. Itehinil the rim of the mountain, a dark silhouette against the son-down, the eky was streaked with the peculiar greenish gold tone so often peen on summer evenings. On th" other side of the lake, just above "nii-Fuji." as the rone-shaped peak Is lovingly called by the residents of this region, hung the thin erewent of the moon, barely visible in the gatlt-eting twilight. We had spent the day on the lake. We had sped about in (he high-powered nieed' hoaf.

running from Chiku-busbimn, picturesque island of volcanic rocks at the far end, skimming along the easterly shore, past Kntata with its wild geese, and under the famous Seta bridge, to I.shiyama, a mile or so down the river. Here we h-id eiptored the temple and ita interest i up outbuildings, and then steered hack to the lake, past the town of Otsn nnd on to Knrasnki and the giant pine tree that sprawls Ita gro-tcsoue length on the Jutting point. This pine tree is one of the ir-boreal monstrosities of Japan, where, by some queer freak of nature, a seeming delight is taken in the cultivation of these deformed trees. It is less than fifty feet in height, hut its thick ami stubby trunk measures more thn thirty feet in circumference. From It rnoiate three hundred or more huge ungninly horizontal branches, so heavy that they must be supported by pillars of wood snd stone leet they break of their own weight.
