Oliver had discovered the forest In.
closed pool as he tramped through the
woods on his survey Of the territory.
The ice was thick and dark and smooth
as glass, and 1t invited him to test It.
The next day he deserted his assistants
and sought the frozen pool with pair
Of skates slung over his shoulder.
He was kneeling on the bank fasten.
ing his skates when he heard the
sound Of light footballs on the thin
crust of snow. He looked up. 49,.
A girl was coming down the wood
land path, swinging shining skates
over her shoulder. He could see that
she was dark, with soft masses Of curl
ing black hair and large black eyes: q
lovely rose color bloomed in her cheeks
and tinted her tender lips. She wore
a bright red skirt with a jaunty fur
jacket, and on her head was perched a
cap of something soft and feecy. +
The girl did not seem to see Oliver
as she came lightly down to the edge
of the pond and knelt down to adjust
the skates to her pretty russell shod
feet.
For an instant she poised on the edge
Of the Ice like q bright hued bird.
Now she suddenly dashed toward
him with fur gloved hands outstretch-
ed. 1nstinctively he lodged her en-
brace, and as he slipped past she ut
tered soft chuckling laugh.
There ensued the most startling ex-
perience in divers career. For q half
hour he was pursued about that small
Icy space by this girl Of the fairy
form and luminous black eyes. Not

then that low, delicious laugh broke
from her lips as her finger tips brush
ed his sleeve
Oliver, puzzled and quite as silent
as his fair pursuer, doubled and turn
ed and twisted and found difficulty in
evading the grasp Of her hands.
There was no sound In the forest
save the ring Of their skates upon the
ice and the occasional fall of some
frost laden twig. In the distance blue
jays were screaming, and occasionally
the call of crow came down from
some altitude.
All at once, when Oliver had again
slipped through her little fingers, the
girl stopped and pressed her hands
over her beating heart.
"It's not fair, Oliver" she pouted.
"You have decidedly the advantage
Of me. If had not been handicapped
I would have caught you long ago."
Oliver Ray caught his breath sharp
~. What was this girl saying, and
why did she call him Oliver?
Again she spoke, this time with an
acute note Of anxiety in her sweet
voice.
'Don't tease, Oliver. Won't you
speak? Your silence frightens me-"
Again her head was bent in that lis
tening attitude, only the eyes turned
toward the young man were pitifully
eager. ..t
II wonder If you have not made a
mistake"- began Oliver gently. when
the sound of his voice startled her
into terror that carried her swiftly
to the other side Of the pond.
"Oh. who is it? Where is Olver?''
she walled.
II am Oliver Ray" said the owner
Of that name apologetically. II am in
charge of the surveying party, and I
took the liberty Of enjoying quiet
skate on this pond. I am sorry If I
frightened you, but I thought you

II thought it was my brother Oliver.
He came down to skate, and I was
following him. Sometimes he tries to
tease me by keeping very quiet and
pretending that he Is not here. Have

to escape the police. Our work was

So long as we had no traitors among

since we were all doing the work as
matter Of duty the only danger from
traitors was that some spy should come
among us for the express purpose Of
betraying us. The other dangers were
that the police should get word Of our
