his voice was choked with sobs and was

AZ the old hat fringed with icicles, like
frozen tears. and the old snow-laden coat.

yes. l will" said Jimmy Scarecrow,
and he tried hard TO bring one Of his stin,
outstretched arms around to clasp the doll
baby.
Don't YOU feel cold in that old summer
coat?" asked Betsey.
"If had a little exercise l should be
warm" he replied. But he shivered. and
the wind whistled through his rags.
"You wait minute" said Betsey, and
was off across the field.
JIMMY WAITED.
Jimmy ScarecrOw stood in the corn
stubble with the doll baby under his coat,
and waited. and soon Betsey was back
again with Aunt Hannah's crazy quilt
trailing In the snow behind her.

quilt around the Scarecrow and pinned IL

she ran across the field and left Jimmy

The bright fash OF color under Jim

the quilt was warm. and he dismissed his

but he creaked his joints a little, and
that amused II, and he heard II cooling

Jimmy Scarecrow had never felt so

only that but his coat and the poor doll

the women wanted them narrow.
so positive WAS the veteran guide in his
opinion that while the resolution was all
right it wouldn't add anything to the
skirts that some OF the woodsmen. led by
"Cass's" sturdy son. got together after
the formal meeting To talk over ways and
means to save heir own boats and tackle
and the lives Of the women despite their
tight hobbies"
one guide suggested that tough hickory
derricHs might I've set up AT canoe landings
and rugged with blocks and falls by which
the women could be safely hoisted into and
out Of the boats. Another guide. whose
speciality lies more in taking parties up
and down the rough mountain trails than
in boating. thought il might be good
scheme to lay planks along the trails.
provide roller skates for the women and
push them up and coast them down "on

one Of the younger men At the confer
ence wanted to know why the women
couldn't rely on their escorts TO pick them
up and carry them. But this idea found
no favor with the other guides. who
couldn't see where they came In under
such an arrangement.
The meeting broke up without any de-
cision as TO what was best 10 be done. the
general opinion being that they had better

nv Telesraph 10 The tribune.

Saranac Lake. y. Y. May The guides
Of Rainbow Lake and vicinity passed
resolution to-day condemning the narrow
skirts worn by women.
Several woodsmen assembled al the
Garondah, elected SOB" Carr chairman
and expressed their views.
Pill" Wardner was opposed 10 the mar
row skirts because a woman angler who
hired him to go fishing on Sunday tipped
over the boat and spilled its contents into
the lake when she tried to step to the
land. He had much difficulty in saving
her life. but instead of getting thanks he
was told that his boat was not a safe
craft anyway and ought to be built to
meet the latest demands Of womens
fashions
Bill believed the guides should pro-
tect themselves and the lives Of their
parties by condemnng narrow skirts. His
sentiment was Endorsed by all the guides,
and the resolution 20 declaring was
adopted without one dissenting voice.
Vt the same time s'ne OF the older
guides. who have been taking care of
