Take Your Choice of Morals.

Escape of a student who fell down j the Lutschine gorge in the Alps but' was caught on a rock and remained 1 suspended for two days and nights,' recalls to the London Chronicle an-; other grundelwald escape of which Leslie Stephen tells. Returning from; the chalet above the Bismeer, one of Stephen’s guides, Michel, reached the edge of a cliff where a wooden rail guarded the path. Unfortunately the rail left off prematurely, and Michel had been drinking. So he stepped over and fell on hard rock nearly 100 feet below. He lay there alii night and next morning «ot up and walked home, sober and whole. Stephen submits two morals for choice: “Don’t get drunk when you bave tOTvalk along the edge of an Alpine cliff,” and “Get drung It you are likely to fall over an Alpine cliff.”
