 ' Two weeks from the day of her ill-fated journey to Glenn's cabin, she set out on a new and hither- to unexplored trail. She tramped along rapidly, absorbed in her own 1 fancies, turning off at every skit- tlsh little bypath that waved a hand at her She stopped for lunch beside a tiny, ice-cold noun tain stream, and after nap re- sumed walking.
 At mid-afternoon, she came to an abrupt halt. For the first time in her ramblings she knew that ] she was lost-dire humiliation to a budding mountaineer! She looked about her, intensely annoyed. There was not one landmark to go by. She drowned at her predicament and finally sat down on log. She drew out a small volume from her knapsack, "The Wood craft Manual and examined it's pages.
 The first thing to do is to get up a tree or other high lookout and seek for some landmark near the camp" she read and smiled wryly as she noted the nearest branches of the pine under which she was citing were certainly not less than 30 feet from the ground.
 Chin in palm, she concentrated her entire attention on the book. There was a little frown between her brows. Her lips were set in a firm, red line. Suddenly loud report smote the air The earth trembled under her feet.

 Some days, Anne took along a bite of lunch which Jarvis put up for her and spent the whole day in the woods. Morse was seldom at the Lodge any more, save in the evenings, and often he and Doug las were away for several days at time.
 Anne was content, but Mrs. Will mot chafed restively under the de- lay and the threats of constantly more importunate creditors, and blamed Anne The girl took the blame in silence. She would be glad enough when their tiresome financial matters were settled, but not even that pleasing prospect could rouse her to any enthusi- asm or regard for Leon Morse.
 Often she spent hours stretched flat on a bed of moss and pine needles. Under the spell of the mountains she found she could look at her life with some measure of wholeness and detachment. She discovered surprising things; not the least. that she could feel such keen pleasure in very simple things.
 Of Glenn and all that had passed between them, she deliberately set herself not to think but unbidden memories started her tingling some times with shame and rage; occa- sionally perhaps with something

 Anne cast a puzzled glance at the sun and as she did so, stumbled into a tangle of brush and briar that left it's mark on her pink cheek. Glenn disentangled her hair.

LOCAL FANS
 TO SEE TWO
 HOOP GAMES
Douglas and Juneau High Schools Open Channel
 Series Tonight

Juneau and Douglas high schools viii battle through a double-header basketball schedule at the local schocl gymnasium tonight, with the girls game due to start at 8 pm and the boys game immediately following
 Little is known of the compara- tive strength of the teams Juneau was beaten last week by the quin- tet from Ketchikan, which in turn lost to the Islanders in a game played in Douglas.
 Comparative scores so far indl- cate about an even break for the boys teams, with neither having any particular advantage. The visitors in the tilt tonight have coach who is new to Channel sports, and can expect to see something different in basketball while Dun- ham, local coach. supervised the Douglas outfit last year.
 Juneau Lineup
 Nelson and Brandt will probably start at forward for Juneau, with Bayers in center and Berggren and Masser guarding Hurley is first choice for substitute forward and Rodenberg and Lagergren, guards.
 No information was forthcoming today concerning the official line up of the Island team. The way things have been lining up in prac tlce games it is probable Gair and w Cashen will open in the shoot ing positions, with J. Cashen in center and H. Lundell and F. Petty grove guarding.
 Girls In Dark
 Nothing whatever is known about the ability or comparative strength Of the girls teams, for neither has been seen in action this season. If the teams arc up to the usual standards the game will be good one.
 Douglas has much the same team it has had for two years past, with Fraser as forward, Wahto and Carlson in the center of the floor, and Sey doing part of the guard work.
 The locals have not had such good fortune in having the same players season after season, but strong lineup is anticipated with Jensen and Waldron forwards, Meade cen- ter, Jackson side center, Rogers and Stewart guards, and Jackson, Messer, Baldwin and Gillard, subs.

DOUGLAS HOPES TO COP
 II. s. HOOP TOURNAMENT

Douglas dcpesters are looking forward with considerable optim- ism to the series beginning to- night Of the first neau-Douglas interschoolastic basketball game of the winter. One enthusiast has delvcd into the records years back and finds that cut of @ or 50 games played, all but IS were vic- tories for Douglas. Comparing the current records of the two teams, l929-3O, it is pointed out that the opportunities arc. greater for Douglas than many @ time be- fore when her teara has taken the series.
 School authorities state tlst they are playing in spite of the lack of agreement with the Juneau men over eligibility They are also hopeful that in the event of a fifth game, it will come to the Douglas floor, inasmuch as no odd game has ever been played here that any one can reeollect.

It was not unexpected that a woman with the inherent clever ness that Anne possessed would manage to emerge unscathed from the storm that followed her noun tain escapade.
 This she did by assuming the role of the injured party and ef- fecting a compromise with Morse and her Aunt Emily. She consented to carry a small revolver and never go far from the Lodge alone.
 Tacitly she pledged herself to avoid the trail to the "hermit's hut but that was hardly neces- sary-after her experience with the two women-haters wild horses could not have dragged her in that di- rection.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. % GIN.
S.1.--In an effort to find out if
any members of the Crater house
hold know anything of the strange
disappearance Of Justice Joseph
r. Crater, of New York, county
Attorney Frank e. Southard, of
Kennebec county, today moved to
question Mrs. Crater and several
employees.
He said he would send Capt. Jo-
seph F. Young, jr.. Of the Maine
State police, to the Crater summer
camp at Belgrade Lakes today to
question the missing jurist's wife;
her mother, Mrs. +. w. Wheeler;
their chauffeur, Fred Kohler. and
Margaret Lynch, maid.
Southard said the questioning
Is at request Of Thomas G. r.
Grain, district attorney of New
York. Southard said If Mrs.
Crater and others refused to talk
to Young, it was possible she and
her servants would be called be-
fore the county grand jury here
next week.
The attorney said District At.
torney Grain wrote:
'SOme Of Judge Crater's
friends and associates think he
had been the victim of foul
play and possibly Of some crime
In your jurisdiction"
This was the first time it has
been intimated that Judge Crater,
who disappeared on August 8,
may have met his death in this
county, Of which Belgrade Lakes.
where the Crater summer home
Is located, is a part.
It vas considered likely that
state police may search the Cra-
ter summer home and possibly
drag Great Pond, body Of wa
ter near the home, for the body
Of the missing jurist.
