When a mans borne about all a man

Were you brother of his when the time

DID you offer to help him or didn't you

Jimmy Leigh got out of the train al
the little station and shouldered his
suitcase. Declining the approaches OF
the solitary porter, he stepped out
briskly along the sve-mile trail that
led to the Trudgeon camps beside
Lake Yellowhammer. 1t was fad OF
his to travel lightly, and in the rea
sonably heavy suitcase he had an ak
a fishing rod and accessories, five OF
six days provisions, and the minimum
of clothing that he would need for the
very brief vacation that he had al
lowed himself.
He was hardly out of sight of the
station when he perceived an excited
looking individual yelling and gesticu
lating at him from the high road
which here turned from it's parallel
course along the trail and wound
away beside the line.
/ Jimmy, who had constitutional OBJ
lection to being shouted at stepped
off at pace that defied pursuit. He
heard the shouts grow more and more
distant; then he was alone in the
heart of the wilderness. Presently
the lake came into sight. Jimmy sat
down his bag and rested.
The air was very still. A thrush
was singing in the underbrush. In
little pool he saw trout leap. His
heart leaped too. He rose, shoul

briskly forward.

when at last he reached the point he
was amazed to find the whole place
desolate and bare, except the single
second cottage, standing forlornly
among heaps of debris. A fire had evi.
IDENTIFY destroyed the rest. How No.
had escaped was beyond his powers
of computation
He whistled moment, then stepped
up to the door. Another surprise
awaited him. Upon the threshold,
wide-eyed in wonder and appeal, stood
the most beautiful girl, in Jimmy's
opinion, that he had ever seen. Jimmy
stared at her.
Thank heavenw exclaimed the girl.
Il beg your pardon ?" asked Jimmy.
Are you going to let me go homer"
the girl demanded.

The girl stared at him again.

said Jimmy.
The girl burst into hysterical laugh

manded. Don't you know that we are
quarantined here? Didn't they try to
stop you coming?"

piled.

leave it there. / don't know when 1

the girl start and look at him intently.
1t had only just occurred to her that
this man might be a gentleman.
What are you going to do?" she
asked.
why. / guess we had better take
the next train" Jimmy answered.
ooh. it isn't possible" said the girl.
Pack, and Wen try" said Jimmy.
He shouldered her bag and his own.
and they tried. At the place where
the trail and the road united stood the
excited individual, waiting for them.
Between them and himself were the
two barrels of a shotgun. Keep
back" he yelled
Il tell you we're going to the train!"
shouted Jimmy, enraged.
Il guess you amt. / warned YOU.
but you wouldn't listen to me. Quar-,

back! The winds blowing from you

Unable to move him, Jimmy took
the two bags again, and they trudged
back to the cabin in doleful procession.
What are you going to do?" asked
the girl tearfully.
i guess I'll stay" said Jimmy.
"But you can't stay here!" she
breathed
Il guess can make myself COM

ak.
AS the girl watched him he proceed
ed to chop down the spreading
branches Of the pines. Within an hour
he had constructed, out of stakes and
branches, comfortable little cabin,
which, If not wind-proof, was at any
gate rain-proof, When he had finished
