waiting for him when he poled into
the Little Misery, looked at his knife,
then at his rifle, and finally into his
somber eyes.

He nodded, muttering that he had
missed; but that night she caressed
him, taking his curly head into her
arms, and wept over him till day
break crimsoned the world.
After that they were almost gay.
He notched logs and built hut and
rammed moss into the cracks. Lois
brought clay from the sweet water,
and cut balsam until her little hands
were stained to the palm. Twice he
passed the three carrys to the C. P. R.
and hung to a freight as far as Sainte
Croix. He bought salt and pork and
flour and cartridges with the pro-
ceeds of Hale's ring.
= They knew that happiness that is
bred in haunting fear, that fierce,
that intense love whose roots are
imbedded in terror.
Snow came and Skeene lugged
more deer hides into his hut.
The lake froze and Skeene dragged
his canoe into the hut and daubed it
with white lead, while Lois crept close
to his side and strung snowshoes. At
times she sang. He listened, lying
beside the canoe.
Snow fell on the frozen lake; the
Little Misery was mantled, the carrys
choked. The deer yarded on the ridge,
the moose on the slope above; the
black bear buried his feeble nose in
his stomach and dreamed.
AS for Lois, she learned that men
are brutes, and that Skeene was all
the world to her. She learned that
he went hungry that she might eat,
that he, shivered while she slept I'M

And so it came about that Skeene;;
laughing up at Lois in the hollow
swamp-oak, glanced over his Shout
der and saw six black dots clustered
upon the frozen lake to the south
ward. He said nothing, but looked
into the north. There were more
dots there, more also on the ice in
the west. For a moment he thought
the east was still open; after while
he heard the scrape of snow-shoe
very near. Lois also heard and her
face was like death as she reached
down and took the rifle frcT
Skeene's hand.
When he had climbed up into the
hollow tree beside her and looked out
from the hole above the great branch,
he saw Hale peering at him from a
dead-fall.
Come down." said Hale.
Skeene clapped his re to his
cheek and fired. > ~t.
Come down." repeated Hale from
behind his dead-fan. Lois, trembling
at Skeene's feet, shrank at the SOM

bent and kissed her and caressed her,
muttering things she could not un-
derstand, but she caught his hand in
hers and tore OFF the fur mitten and
pressed it to her lips, moaning and
sobbing. i
Come down for the last time, Jim
Skeene," said Hale slowly. Suddenly
a rifle shot rang through the frozen
forest. The hand that Lois held
frightened against her lips, quivered,
relaxed. Something outside fell clink-
ing and gathering to the ground at
the foot of the tree. It was Skeene's
rifle; and Skeene. sank forward,

presidential yacht than when they are
ushered into his presence from the
heat Of blistering Washington streets.
Democracy in our official life is desir-
able, but there is no need to be rabid
on the subject, and the comfort of our
presidents may even have a practical
value.
The presidents yachts, however,
have grown TO be something of a So
ciai institution in Washington, not
limited TO the summer months. and the
dances and suppers given aboard them
by the officers seem to have become
events much relished by a small and
select circle. But what Washington is
now counting on is that all this will be
much curtailed, and that as a result
of Governor Wilson's finding yachts
less necessary to the conduct of the
government. society will find these yes
sells and their gallant officers less
available for its entertainment.
Another matter Of grave concern is
| that of the White house aids. These
are young officers of the army and
navy, chiefly selected on account Of
their social qualifications, and quite
properly so since their service is social
who are on duty at the White house at
formal receptions and the like Natur-
ally they are regarded as eligible il
the highest degree and are the young
men most sought by Washington host
esses Among the White house aids
/ of recent years there have been a
number Of youths whose names are
/ household words. since their fathers
or grandfathers have been among the
/ most celebrated of our generals and
sea captains. And these young men
have occupied their temporary prize
posts, and enjoyed the incidental So
cial distinction, with a mOdesty which
/ in more than one instance has given
{ promise Of a career which should lend
. further credit TO an illustrious name.
But latterly the number Of the aids
who are not to be confounded with
! the presidents personal aid, whose
more eNaCting duties were filled by the
late Major Butt. and ROW by Major
4 Rhodes-has been increased 10 y,
which sayors a little of passing a good
time around rather generously.
II seems to be the feeling that Gov
ernor Wilson will find it possible 10
get alonE without so many aids. as
well as without so many yachts. The
outlook is distinctly for distressing
decrease in the available supply OF
brass buttons at the capital also IN
the extent to which the presidential
establishment, both in the White house
entertainment, and those made avail
able for entertainments elsewhere, has
been a convenient adjunct TO the
Washington social world. Such changes
as these will cause more permanent
regret than the omission Of the in
augural ball.
