La frozen to death before I will help

to assist him in any way, tell Pierre
that am in hurry to get back, and

To this he answers, "Here are two others
coming" 1t has nothing to do with my
getting back, but, nevertheless, ask
where the others are.
""ThereW And both he and Jacques
point out the direction. I can't see the

lose them again Immediately afterwards.
They are much nearer the next time they
appear; near enough for me to discern
that one of tlron is tall. and thin, and,
though he is walking quickly, has an
awkward, clumsy step. That is quite
enough. L am certain who he is; but
after finding Firth at ''Le Jurdin,'' am
not surprised. 1 take it quite philoso-

portion of the luncheon, joins the other
two. Mr.. Bolt scrutinizes my corpus;
again fails to recognize me, but suspects
me to be English, so he keeps his dis
tance. Peeping under my hat, I see
Pierre and jacques presently compare
watches and then rise. The latter, how
ever, moves away alone and goes to the
boulder. At his first words the odious
boots disappear entirely, but he begins
to remonstrate; shows his watch; points
to the sun; and after little while bends
forward to help Mr.. Firth to rise.
That gentleman then emerges from be-
hind his friendly rock, shaking his legs
and settling his coat, and, without look.

didn't know was there. Not so jacques.
He speaks to Pierre, who comes to my
side, and jacques fingers, seeing that I
do not rise. Meanwhile Mr.. Firth, by
his crab-like movement, nearly tumbles
over Mr.. Bolt, without seeing him.
"Halloa," cries the latter, "you here!'
Whereupon Mr.. Firth turns round and
staTes, with open eyes and mouth, see
