Cavendish turned aside impatiently
"I-dO very much ask 1t. RATHER

1t over"
Wonderingly, she wrapped the geray
mum wool scarf about her shoulder
and started for the woodland path.
1t would soon be time to close
up Elsmere and go back to the city
apartment with it's marble surround
ings. Sometimes she played here an
other game, which since childhood
never lost its charm, secret game
never shared.

Kitty, free as the winds, gathering
nuts with her little hands that must
be carefully creamed afterward, dig

their beds Of leaves, or swinging out
upon b0ugh, with the little cur
barn dog barking beneath her-the
yellow cur dog was with her now, as
she hurried down the woodland path
to think out her problem. Her mo-
dish couture had been much disar-

pling loosely and charmingly about
her small head. She was going to SIT
down upon fallen log to dispense
the troubling question of her future
state, when the cur dogs bark again
lured her on. He was leaping before
the entrance to log cabin house,
and as Kitty followed a mans voice
called from within.
"Come in, whoever you are" called
the man. II need help"
Pain trembled In the voice. Kitty
went in. He lay there on a cot bed,
a long slender figure. with an arm
helpless and red stained at his side;
the face turned toward her was fine
Of feature and pale beneath It's tan.
"Quick," begged the man, "get a
bandage. The bleeding is making me
faint--there is no one else to help"
The faint had come.
Lady Kitty worked quickly, as he
had asked her. A founce from her

Jagged cut, and antiseptic on the
wooden dresser; water, too, to battle

at last to look up at her gratefully.

"All right" Lady Kitty said, cheer

Her eyes rowing about the room fell
upon a small cupboard.

But the problem of her future and
the. problem Of the wounded arm,
were as nothing in this new problem
Of cookery. Everything in the cup
board seemed to be contained in cans.
She hurried one can labeled "soup"
to the cot.
"How," she asked interestedly, "do
you get at it?"
The young man WINGED with pain
as he attempted to show her.
"Oh, I will MANAGE" she assured
him with confidence, she was far
from feeling. But when one ham,
