Two were insGold creek basin and the third near Thane. The one on the Thane road almost cost Alex. Kloh, IT,, his life. Heswas driving to town when he heard the .rozr of the approaching mass of snow, ice and debris, and a rock coming ahead of the slide blpcked his path. He hur- riedly abandoned theecar and was able to get out of the danger zone. The car was either covered deeply by the slide or was carried out into Gasti- neau channel. The waters of the channel were covered with ddebrfs sal- most across to Douglas Island, .sand snow and debris were carried overt to the old TreadMell dock.

 "Perhaps 1t is-for you. But I'm used to it."

 Of all people. Lois Kayne was rare. ly accused of showing off. being "beach walker" as the term goes. She raised her eyes in . bit of sur. prise.

 "T'vs seen demonstrations of all three, Lois And they should be ex- hibited whenever reasonable. But l still think 1t is far too cool for water stuff today"
 "Ta-ta," chirped Lois. "I'll just take . running leap into 1t and see who's right"

 Lois, just the same, divided her time and interests her own way. If it was too cold for tenderfeet to swim. that didn't stop her; if no one else could manage 2 craft in that maelstrom, she went alone; If Lois craved fish, she put on the dear old hipboots and went a-angling. Nobody had to do anything in that place. Hospitality was broad minded.
 Lois had her saddle horses. Usually Central Park-trained equestrians took her for . ride. She didn't laugh-out loud. Her horses understood her in nine languages. But che didn't make the to-be-stiff brokers and consuls and bankers and bluebookers feel their un. importance. She helped them unob. trusively and guided them over road. as soft a she could select.
 Thus. since she interfered in no body's choice of pastimes, she felt that she should b. allowed her own prefer ences and predilectiona But Barry. being by nature . general manager. thought she should stay around the house and entertain him.

 She knew the trick of getting into a moving canoe without upsetting or laundering it. The water was too deep where they were to settle the whole di- lemma by turning the craft over and giving Barry . swell ducking. He reached to "help" her in, and almost foundered everything. -
 "Wh-why didn't you swim for the paddle?" he asked. "We can't catch it with nothing to steer us."

 "Your shirtv she cried. Every little bit helps-your trousers-"
 He was ripping his shirt to bits and fighting the trick buckle of his belt. The oar was zigzagging tauntingly out of reach. The canoe was near the deadly turn. He bent to speak again to Lois. She had disappeared. He tried to stand up but the inexpert at- attempt tumbled him on all fours. When he managed to see again, Lois was climbing into the canoe with the paddle.
