FOR over an hour he cautiously moved
hither and thither in search of game, but
saw no sign. At last he came to the foot of
mountain, and, thinking it worth while to
make the ascent in order to learn something
about the surrounding wilderness. began the
climb. Higher and higher he went. until he
had almost reached the line where the growth
of trees ended. He was podding upward.
deep in thought, when he was startled by
something flashing by. and a whirring sound
grouse disappear in the upper branches Of
tree. He faced about again. and carefully
approached clump of trees before him.
As he neared the place, he saw six or seven
grouse perched on the limbs of small spruce.
watching him with their beady little ewes.
Taking aim at the head of one of the lower
birds, that in its fall it might not disturb
the birds above, he was about to fire, when he
remembered how little need there was for
ammunition with creatures SO tame. Return
ing the revolver to its holster. he picked up a
long stick and approached the grouse. When
within about fifteen feet of them. he made
sudden rush at the tree, and as the stupid
birds. which were all facing his way. flew out
after another toward him. he knocked
them down. chased the less wounded ones
about the grass, and killed five in less than
minute.
Tying their feet together. he strung them

mountain, which commanded excellent
view of the surrounding country He observed
that the river marked with white water
in many places. as it took its winding course
down the distant valley; SO he concluded that
to descend it on raft would be endless
undertaking. because new raft would have
to be constructed between every two rapids.
and besides the river would carry him miles
and miles out of his way. He determined.
then, to strike out almost at right angle to
the river. and travel across country in a south
erly direction until he came upon some stream
that would carry him nearer to his destination.

She even had couple of quick firing guas

Lady Maud looked at the gondola and as it
came still nearer. she saw that 1t brought only
one passenger, and that he had a fair beard.
She quietly opened her cabin door and went IN.
Meanwhile Van Torp had completed his
toilet, and asked Stemp to send for the Captain
and to find out when the ladies would be ready
for dinner.

"Oh. WELL don't know l wanted to say
few words about that, Captain. Do you hap
pen to know anything about yacht called
the Erinna. belonging to a Mr.. Logotheti. a
Greek gentleman who lives in Paris."
Yes, sir" answered Captain Brown. for it
was part of his business to read the yachting
news. one was at loves when we one

having entered the Mediterranean after taking
fresh provisions, owner and party on board.
We'll" said Van Torp, Il have an idea

one of your young men to say you want to know

SO Captain Brown went off with his in
structions, and in a few moments his owner
heard the distant sound of the chain coming in
over the most noiseless of modern patent steam
capstans. the side lights and masthead and
stern lights shone out as the anchor light went
down: the twin screws began to turn over
slowly, well below the water; and the Lam
cashire Lass under way. But while the
Captain was silently looking ahead into the
warm dusk he was considering how he might
most quickly find the Erinna. But he not
at all disturbed by the orders he had received,
and was only anxious to get all the speed he
could out of his vessel as far as the Straits of
Messina. through which the yacht he to

saw Van Torp and his man departed, just as
Potts appeared. accompanied by very neat
looking English stewardess IN smart white

smiled pleasantly at what Margaret said, and
the latter made up her mind to drown her anger
against Logotheti, and at the same time to be

ers yesterday afternoon defeated Nc
Quade and Bowers, in the semi finals
of the contest. The scores were Pills
21-17. Both teams were playing from

Ned and Dick Mclean put up an
exhibition of handball that was well
worth the seeing and their opponents
proved no mean adversaries. In the
first game the former pulled out after
their opponents had a long lead. Nc
Quade last year won the singles cham

second, and both their partners play
classy ball. The games were clean and
