The Bohemians came very nearly collaps-

acted as self-appointed interpreter felt very
much like crawling under the table. After
much whispering and giggling, the girls
scrutiniZed the menu, which was got
up in the most approved style of modern
American restaurants, and selected some
Chinese dainties their share of the sup

ones, one on either side, In front, made by
the hind feet, which are thrown outside

Here and there, there was a break in the
line, showing where the squirrel had

dark particles the snow indicated the
branch on which the little nutcracker had
eaten his breakfast.
Between two tiny holes, one under a stone
wall and the other beneath the roots of a
tree, ran two distinct trails, showing where,
for some purpose. a white-footed mouse had
gone and returned. These trails were fac

ing that the mouse, being light, had not
sunk deep enough to obliterate the deli

another difference. too. for here and there
along the trails between the footprints,
there was a fine line as though made with
a pencil point. where the tail of the mouse
had occasionally touched the snow.
And nearer home l saw the tracks of tree

meadow, and the round holes made by a
cat which had been stalking the birds. But

young men feeling that some heroic action

the establishment, followed by the others
of the party. The girls gazed about them
wonderingly. They. found themselves in
a small, narrow storeroom, confronting two
small glass showcases, one filled with cigars
and the other containing Chinese orna-
ments. In the rear OF the apartment was
a funny little calico curtain hanging In a
doorway-the entrance to the Oriental
restaurant. Each girl held her breath as

the visitors to pass into the mysterious
chamber.
