'No, the wind is sweeping it across the river,

IF l 90 III return" Ierrold answered, noticing
the suspicious ring in the mans voice.
And you'll go?"
'Yes, in the morning if the snow has stopped
falling"
Fifteen minutes later Terro1d walked away from
the fOreman's cabin to rest and prepare for the
long journey. When he reflected, he smiled
little. He had entered the cabin to throw up his
job and he left it with harder duty to perform than
any assigned to him that winter. but it will be
a sort of holiday he reasoned to himself 4
love to skate, and if the wind doesn't change I'll
have it at my back all the way down"
The wind had not changed by morning. Jerrold
was up before sunrise to study the sky and clouds.

storm gone. He ate his early breakfast alone,

and within half hour the ice.
The wind had swept the snow from the river,
and it was clear skating ahead. errod had tried his
skates scarcely once all winter and he flung himself
into the pleasure of the exercise with all his energy
1t was an ideal scene and day for the sport.

Il must make up for lost time now,' he said
finally buckling his skates. . | must get back
to the camp before dusk"
He started to skate forward; but in some peculiar
manner the sled which he had been dragging swung
around in front of him. Jerrold tripped it,
and fell sprawling the ice. When he got to
his feet again, he found of his skate-runners
broken in half. He picked it up and looked
fully at it. If only it had been a strap he might
have fixed it; but the steel runner could not be
repaired.
How shall I get back?" was the first question
that occurred to the boy He asked himself this
with little frightened quver in his voice
Then, if to answer it, he added: "I must
hurry up, or it will be dark before | get there.

but does not make much progress thereby.

If | don't appear at camp by dusk | wonder
if some of the men will part of the way to

back to-day, and that there is danger from wolves
the river after dark"
With this somewhat forlorn hope in mind he
made desperate efforts to slide and run along using
both the sled and the one skate. The wind for
tunately had shifted since the previous day and it

and ice. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty,
miles were covered before Ierro1d even
stopped for a rest. Then he sat down
IN the sunshine and ate his dinner.
He rested long enough to renew his
pleasure in the exercise, and then once
more skated over the smooth ice. Long
before dusk of the early evening he was
in Ottawa. There was no need to hurry
about his purchases, for he was to rest
one day in the city, and return early the
following morning. Among his pur-
chaseS for the foreman, besides the medi-
cine to allay the pain of his rheumatism,
was ten yards of unbleached muslin to
be used for bandages. When he gath
cred all of his small packages together,
JerrOld found that he had a formidable
load
Il ought to have sled for them,"
he murmured
As he said this he passed a store where
brightly painted seds and bobs were
displayed in bewildering array. Jerrold
was only seventeen, and therefore not too
old to appreciate the pleasures of coast
ing. When he saw the sleds, and thought
of the fine coasting he might have on the
river banks by the logging camp, he
oCOppCd ctlld pOllOlClCO 1lIC lOlcIlldI
had given him five dollars to undertake
the trip. Why not buy sled and carry
back his purchases on it?
The following morning bright and
early, solitary skater left the city of
Ottawa, dragging behind him a brightly
painted sled, which were strapped a
few packages. Often Jerrold would turn
his head to glance admiringly at his
sled. Every ten or fifteen minutes he
would propel it forward, and take a
flying leap on it to coast along on the
smooth ice.
In this way he proceeded up the river,
making pleasure of his trip, and covering
nearly as much ground as if he had
skated continuously. With cheeks
flushed and eyes burning brightly, he
soon forgot all about the hard times he
had been through the past winter.
At noon he stopped to eat his lunch.
He spread out his simple repast on the
sled, and sitting on the trunk of tree
enjoyed himself hugely. The tempta-
ton to linger there was great, and he
was a couple of hours later on the return
on the down journey.
