 had crisp ten-dollar biN for $, Ter, and the butler proved disloya4 his mistress, just as she had figured ] that he would.
 A grip was packed and the "bossy" young man .hied him to a mountain re- sort. He hadn't planned that he 1 h11t od Tl1o him. With a railroad time table and a lead pencil and thirty minutes to fig ure in she was sure even of the train i he would arrive on. And half an hour before the arrival of that train, Miss Dora Thurston took to the woods. In other words, dressed for walk on the 1 hills, she left the hotel and took a path leading upwards among the trees and powders and outcrop.
 MT. Wells tried to arrive with his dignity, but it was rather failure. ] He hunted up Mrs. Thurston and ex- plained that he had been granted a few days off to cure his hay fever, and that he had arrived at the Bald Eagle quite by accident and she had the courtesy not to smile, was all of three minutes and a half De ore hs. carelessly inquired for Miss Dora and learned that she had gone for walk. Then he carelessly said he would look her up, as sine would probably be quite anxious to know that the weather in town was so hot that truck horses were falling like autumn leaxes be- fore it's fiery blast. Young ladies do take vivid interest in these things! I Miss Dora met a boy and she met a man, and she met two romantic girls, and she took pains that they should see her take a path marked: "Dan- gerous-Beware of Avalanchesi" Up that path to a spot where there had been a slide of rocks week before, l and then she dropped her handker- 1 Chief, removed her hat and tossed It from her, and then went into hiding.
 Miss Dora had figured time as close as a train dispatcher. She had not been in hiding ten minutes when Mir. l Wells came up on the run. He saw l the hat and handkerchief and uttered a groan and shout He was not up on avalanches, and he took this for 4 new one. Under it would be foYhd the dead and mangled body of thg fTirl he had tried to boss! N/
 Off came the coat and hat 5ad vest of the frantic lover, and hegwent to work like a dog digging oY. a wood chuck. Help could have been had half mile away, but he felt he could not stop to summon 1t. No hero ever toiled harder for quarter of an hour. and he was still at it when Miss Dora slid gracefully down to his feet and scrambled to remark:
 Now, then, if you have changed your mind about cads and other things we will sit down and talk If you work any longer you will have lame back tomorrow!" 1 "Oh, Dora, I-I-!"
 "The girl bosses before marriage you know, and the husband after wards"
