time the girls were as completely lost
as Mr. Dangerheld; but Miss Frank
Fairfellow was no novice at camping |
out, and with the aid of her compass |
and Rover they finally, after a labori- |
GUS trip with the lame stranger, reached |
their cabin. They learned that Daa-
gerfield had left his camp TO do some |
quiet sketching. and, being perfectly in |
experienced as n woodsman, had, In
stead OF regaining his friends, wan
dered for some forty-eight hours with
ont a mouthful to eat, during which
time he had sprained his ankle.
Through IL all, his little Scotch terrier
was his faithful companion.
After satisfying the pangs Of hunger,
Dangerfelds first thought was TO get
word to his friends, TO relieve their
anxiety. The guide said IL would be
like hunting for needle in haystack
to seek for the camp; so messenger
was dispatched TO civilization, TO for
ward letters to his friends nearest
post-office address.
While Dangerteld was lying around
during the next few days. regainiug his
strength, he found that Miss Frank and
he had many mutual friends; so, In n
short time, he was on the familiar foot
ing OF a first cousin.
The first exploit after his recovery
was q fishing party. Now Dangerfield
hated fishing; but he realized that
Miss Fairfellow had saved his life,
therefor he accepted her invitation
with polite eagerness. On arriving at
the lake, the others threw their lines
coutentedly from the shore; but Miss
Frank was determined to go out in
canoe. Dangerfield always had dis
like for girls with masculine proclivitics,
and Miss Frank, with her many manly
accomplishments, constantly grated on
him; but he certainly would have per.
ished in the woods If 1t had not been
for her spirit of adventure in pushing
out that morning without guide, and
no one could deny the fact that Frank
was very handsome young lady
what the boys would call simply
stunning!"
So without limiting at his total igno-
rance of the art of swimming, at her
invitation he boldly climbed into the
rotten old canoe, and ordering both
Rover and the terrier to remain on the
shore, they pushed out. This suited the
Newfoundland very we'll; he was per-
) fectly at home in the water. and he
quietly proceeded TO follow them. To
be thus abandoned was too much for
i the other dog, so he boldly followed
= Rover; but he lacked the latter's good
: Judgment, and made frantically for the
boat, which was drifting not far away.
{ They attempted to order him back, To
: push him off, but without avail. Final
" he got his fore feet clawing at the
sides of the frail craft, and Dangerfield

Il themselves in twenty feet of clear
