again, and busy himself with pouring
the tea which All Foo had brought in.
In the nature of things the tea
drinking in the stuffy "dinkey" draw
ing-room was not prolonged. Time
was flying. Virginia's errand OF mercy
was not yet accomplished, and Aunt
Martha in her capacity Of anxious
chaperon was not to be forgotten.
Also, Miss Carteret had feeling that
under his well-bred exterior Mr.. Nor
ton p. Adams was chatting like any
barbarian industry captain at this I'M
warrantable intrusion and Interrupt
ton.
So presently they all forthfared into
the sun-bright, snow-blinding out-of-
door world, and Virginia gathered up
her courage and took her dilemma by
the horns.
81 believe l have seen everything
now except that tent-place up there, "
she asserted, cropping purposefully for
her opening.
Adams called up another smile OF
acquiescence. THAT is our telegraph
office. Would you care to see it?" The
technologian was of those who shirk
all or shirk nothing.

Lake Quail In Mats.

Netting quail-for market is busi-
ness of considerable extent along the
northern shores of the Mediterranean
sea and particularly in Egypt.
The first netting takes place in the
autumn, when the birds pass from
their northern breeding grounds to
spend the winter in the south; the
second is in the spring, when they
journey from their winter resort back
to the familiar breeding grounds.
Made of gray twine, so as to be as
near invisible as possible, these long
nets are spread across the line Of
flight of the birds, the quail are at
tracted to their doom in various ways.
Sometimes artificial calls are used
with great effect.
In certain parts of the Greek archi-
pelago the first victims are made to
entice others into the nets. These
early captives are blinded and set in
cages in the sun. They begin to
sing and the great focks that follow
hear the song and seek to learn its
sources.

It was the invitation she would have

II was the invitation she would have
angled for, but she was too wise to
assent too readily.
"Oh. no; | think VIC mustn't. I'm
afraid Mr.. Winton might not like it,"
Not like it? If you'll come he'll

Ought we to go, Cousin Billy?" she
asked. shifting. not the decision, but
the responsibility for 1t, to broader
shoulders.
why not, If you care to-" said the
athlete, to whom right-of-way fights
were mere matters OF business in no
wise conflicting with the social ameli-
orations.
Virginia hesitated. There was a
thing to be said 20 Mr.. Adams, and
that without delay; but how could she
say it with her cousin standing by to
make an impossible trio out of any
attempted duet confidential? A will
ingness to see that Winton had fair
play need not carry with it an open
desertion to the enemy. She must not
forget to be loyal to her salt; and,
besides, Mr.. Somerville Darrahs right
eous indignation was not lightly to be
ignored.
But the upshot of the hesitant pause
was a decision to brave the conse-
quences-all of them; so she took
Calvert's arm for the slippery crossing
of the ice bridge.
Once on his own domain, Adams did
the honors Of the camp as thorough
ly and conscientiously as If the hour
held no care heavier than the enter
tainment of Miss Virginia Carteret.
"Oh, how comfortable" she en-
claimed, when he had shown her all
the space-saving contrivances of the
field Office. and this is where You
and Mr. Winton work."

rected Adams. "And speaking of eat
ing: it is hopelessly the wrong end nf
the day-or it would be in Boston,
but our Chinaman won't know the di /
ference. Let me have him make you a

before she could protest.

Then let us send a message to Mr..
Winton," she suggested, playing the
part of the capricious ingenue to the
very upcast of pair of mischievous
eyes. "Pll write it and you may sign
it,"
Adams stretched his complaisence
the necessary additional inch and
gave her a pencil and pad Of blanks.
She wrote rapidly:
Miss Carteret has been here admring
your drawings. She took one of them away
with her. and l couldn't stop her without
being rude. You shouldn't have done 1t
without asking her permission. She
says"
"Oh, dear! l am making it awfully
long. Does 1t cost SO much a word?"
NO" said Adams, not without an
effort He was beginning to be dis
tinctly disappointed in Miss Virginia,
and was wondering in the inner depths
OIL him what piece of girlish frivol.ty
he was expected to sign and send to
his chief. Meanwhile she went on
writing:
81 am to tell you not to get into any
fresh trouble-not to let anyone else get
you into trouble; by which l infer she
means that some attempt will be made to
keep you from returning on the evening
train"
There, can you send all that?" she
asked, sweetly, giving the pad to the
technologian.
Adams read the first part OF the let
ter-length telegram with inward groan-
ings, but the generous purpose of 1t
struck him like whip blow when he
came to the thinly yelled warning.
Also 1t shamed him for his unworthy
judgment of Virginia.
IL thank you very heartily, Miss
Carteret," he said, humbly. 1T shall

Reverend Williams benefit: "Winton
deserves all sorts of a snubbing for
taking liberties with your portrait. I'll

not, as the hostess chooses. The deco
ration should be simple-autumn
leaves or dahlias would be good for
this season of the year.
AS the guests enter they should be
given SMALL keys tied with a bit of ribbon
which may carry the old meaning OF
giving the key of the city to an hon
ored guest-a means of expressing that
during the visit the city belongs &c
him. These keys should be of many
sizes and kinds, duplicates to be given
the men and women-the way for find
ing partners for the dining-r room later
in the evening.
After the new home has been seen,
paper and pencil should be furnished
each guest. The men are requested to
draw plans for their ideal house and
the women are asked to write out a
description of the furnishings for an
ideal home. OF course in this the
number of rooms in the house must
be designated. The papers are mum
bered and collected, and judges whc
rave been appointed will pass upon
the merits of every paper.
For the man who wins the prize
for the best plans for a home, doll 5

who is given first place in the furnish

doll furniture.

Cold Job for the Under Man.

Some years ago an Irishman, not
long from the old country, secured a
job cutting ice. The foreman gave Pat
an ice saw Qce in those days was cut
by handD and told him to go on the
pond and go to work cutting ice. Now.
Pat had seen a crosscut saw that Is
used in cutting logs, that requires a
man on either end, and, as the saw
that the foreman gave him resembled
the crosscut he had seen, he supposed
1t required two men to work It; so,
seeing another man standing near,
when he was to commence cutting, he
said: Say, friend, I'll toss up a cent
to see who goes below"
