set with wide-open arms. A few hours
with business men through the day
and long evenings of dining, dancing
theaters and cabarets.
Freddie" declared pretty Mrs
Huntleigh, you have saved my life.
Toms niece is visiting us and we need
an odd man for her. We have thou
sand things to do in the next two
weeks and 1 am going to expect you
to see US through" So Freddie was
helping them out to the best Of his
ability.
One night at the theater, a party
came in late and occupied a box quite
near them. At the close of the act
Fred leaned over to Isabelle. What
do you think of it, Miss Murtland?
Good music, eh?" For answer she
merely nodded her head toward the
newcomers. Il was wondering" she
said, who that stunning looking wom-
an is talking to Cecil Frampton. They
are with the Warrens.'
He followed her glance and started
with dismay. For it was Beatrice
whom Isabelle Murtland had noticed
Beatrice, so bewilderingly beautiful
and looking so wonderfully happy and
animated that he had to look again to
be sure it was She Beatrice did not
see him and he drew back into the
shadow Of the box
In the next week, he saw her four
times with Frampton and the War
rens, at different places of amusement,
but he always managed some way to
remain unnoticed.
My wife's the best looking woman
in New York. he cried, savagely one
evening. 81 don't know how she hap
pens to be here, but l know she isn't
going to f1irt with that fool any long
er." And he called up the Warrens on
the phone.
Beatrice went home this morning."
said Evelyn Warren in answer to his
inquiry. She tried to find you every
where when she was here. She wars
so sorry and disappointed.
Heavens" she exclaimed when he
had rung off If that man ever finds
out how we worked and contrived to
follow him about and how the Hunt
leighs helped us out, he'll shoot every
one Of us. The silly man did need
lesson, though, and hope he's got it.

Yes, Tommys a dear boy" said
Marion, penitently. 81 believe he's

The count stared at her. That is
not the young man who assembled
Grundelwald this morning and refused
a guide?" he asked.
II don't know: it would be just like
him." said Marion, struggling her
shoulders.
The count got up abruptly and left
her. Marion. looking after him in as
constituent and indignation, presently
saw him talking with Hofer, the head
guide. and pointing up the mountain
side. Presently the two men set of

1t was not until ten at night, under

turned. Tommy, in state Of exhaus-
ton and frostbite. was wrapped in
blankets and put to bed. All the hotel
was talking about his foolhardy ex-
plot. But in one hand he clutched the
edelweiss.
The count. at his bedside, opened his
heart in indignation.
1T is monstrous, Mr.. Griswold," he
exclaimed Indignantly. Had / known
why, should have told you the dan
gers. Love does not set tasks like that
She is worthless"
Tommy opened his eyes feebly.
Much obliged to you for saving my
life. count" he said in weak voice,
but I'll say good-by to you now"
The count, whose temper had been
soured by the receipt of an adverse de-
cision from the court that afternoon,
on his return, looked at Tommy for a
few moments. Poor fool" he thought
Then he shrugged his shoulders and
left him. Perhaps he had never cared
for Marion. At any rate, he passed out

WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS
Manner In Which Shadows Fall VIII
Show to the Initiated Where
tho Sun 10.

Few persons become lost in the
woods when the sun is shining; but on
cloudy day or in a snowstorm it is
easy to go astray, the Youths Com
panion states. A familiar piece of
woodland will look strange when the
trees are overloaded with snow and
their branches hang close to the
ground.
1t often happens that you find your
self in the woods without a compass.
To meet such an emergency, those
versed in woodcraft offer many rules
and suggestions, but their advice is
not always to be depended upon. A
sign that is correct in one part of the
country is often misleading in another.
All signs depend upon one of two
things-the sun or the wind. Winds
are likely to follow up or down water
courses or along the valleys. There
fore they vary in different localities.
Likewise. in hilly country the sunlight
does not fall evenly upon the trees and
plants, and often leaves misleading
signs.
Since you will probably have fairly
accurate idea as to what hour of the
day it is. you can easily lay out your
course for home or camp if you can
find the position of the sun
Find a place where the light is
even, that is, not in the shadow of
large tree. Then place pin or a
sharp stick, point down, upon your
thumbnail, or other polished object.
A dim shadow will fall away from
the sun. At any time before sunset
the pointed end of the shadow will
show where the sun is, no matter how
heavily clouded over it may be, or
how thickly the snow may be falling.
This method of laying a course has
led many man to camp many times
when all other signs had failed. When
you are lost, it is important not to get
excited. AS long as you keep cool
! you are not very badly lost
