Bran became anxious about o'clock when the outline OF
the quickly hidden under thick band Of fog
Cross Donphan had not yet reappeared and the mist
completely hid the eastern shore
"Ths is just what afraid off, said Briant How
will they find their way back?"
Sound the horn sound the horn >. shouted Gordon
The Washington times., 1936-09-25

Three times the horn sounded
Perhaps it would be answered by
a shot. Briant and Gordon lis
tened, but no sound reached their
ears.
The fog had gained in thickness
and now stretched across the lake
a quarter Of a mile from the shore.
It was blowing higher and in a
few minutes the lake would have
entirely disappeared.
Briant called all those who had
remained in sight.
"What shall we do?" asked Cor.
don.
Everything we can to find
Cross and Doniphan, before they
have completely lost themselves
in the fogl" said Briant. lone Of
us must 60 in the direction in
which they went and try to get
them back by sounding the
horn. -"
"I'l go!" volunteered Baxter.
"Me, tool" added two or three
more.
"No! I'll CO." said Briant
"Let me, brother!" begged Jack,
with my skates I'll be quicker in
catching them"
"All right, Jack. Listen care
fully for shots. Here, take the
horn"
Jack disappeared in the fog
which was becoming thicker every
moment. Distance soon deadened
the sound of the horn.
Half an hour passed. No news
of Cross or Doniphan, nor Of Jack.
What would they do if night fell
before they could return?
"If we only had a gun!" cried
Service, perhaps -. ="
"a gun?" cried Briant, "there
are plenty at French Den! .
There isn't q moment to lose!. >.
Let's go!"
The most important thing now
was to let Jack, Doniphan and
Cross know which direction to
take to find the others. In less
than half an hour they had COW
cred the three miles to French
Den.
This time it wasn't a question
Of economizing powder. Wilcox
and Baxter loaded their guns and
fired towards the east.
No answerI No shot. no sound
Of the horn!
It was already half past three.
The fog thickened as the sun went
behind Auckland Hill. It was i'm
possible to see anything on the
lake.
"The cannon!" cried Briant.
A cannon was dragged to Sport
Terrace and charged. Moko sug-
gested putting handful Of grass
rubbed with grease on top of the
cartridge to give more strength
to the detonation.
The cartridge was shot in such
o calm atmosphere that it Ger.
tainly would be heard for several
miles.
They listened nothing!
For an hour the cannon was
fired every 10 minutes. Doniphan,
Cross and Jack could not possibly
mistake the significance of these
shots.
At last, a little before 5 o'clock.
two or three gunShots, still far
away, were heard IN the north
The Washington times., 1936-09-25

east. Baxter answered by an
other discharge of the cannon.
A few minutes later two
shadows were seen through the
fog. Soon, hurTahS were heard on
Sports Terrace. They came from
Doniphan and Cross.
Jack was not with them!
One can imagine the anguish
felt by BriantI His brother had
not been able to find the two
hunters who had not even heard
his horn. Without the cannon
shots they could never have found
their way back.
Briant, thinking only Of Jack
lost in the fog, had no thought
even to reproach Doniphan for
his disobedience, which was
threatening to have serious re-
suits. If Jack were obliged to
spend the night on the lake in
temperature which might drop
to IS degrees below zero cent?
grade, how would he be able to
resist such intense cold!
IT should have gone." repeated
Briant to whom Gordon and
Baxter vainly tried to give hope.
A few gun-shotS were again fired.
# Jack heard them he would
answer by sounding his horn.
But when the last roll died
away the shots remained un-
answered.
Already the night was begin
ming to fall; darkness would soon
cover the island.
However. the fog seemed to be
lifting. The breeze. which had
risen after sundoWn. drove the
fog towards the east, leaving
Family Lake much clearer. Soon
the difficulty of finding French
Den would be due only to the
darkness.
There remained only one thing
to do. light a big fire which
would serve as a signal. Wilcox.
Baxter and Service were piling
wood when Gordon stopped them.
The telescope to his eye. Cor
don was carefully looking north
east.
"I think I see a spot that
moves" he said.
Briant seized the telescope.
Thank God!" he cried. "It's
him!. Its Jack. II can see
himI"
And all began to shrek as If
the boy could hear them at that
distance, not less than a mile.
He was getting nearer and
nearer. Jack slid on the icy
surface Of the lake with the
speed Of an arrow. A few min.
utes and he would be there.
"Tt seems that he's not alone, {"
cried Baxter with great surprise.
Closer observation showed two
other points coming a few
hundred feet behind Jack.
What is it?" asked Gordon.
"Some men?" wondered Baxter.
mol. 1t looks like animalsl
80" cried Gordon.
"Wild animals, perhaps!" said
Doniphan.
He was right. without hesita-
ton, gun in hand, he rushed to-
wards Jack.
In a few moments Doniphan
Joined the young boy and fired
twice at the wild beasts which
turned and fled.
They were bears which GER
ta1nly had never been expected
to appear on Chairman Island!
How was it that the hunters had
never seen trace Of them be-
fore? Had the bears by cross
ing the ice, found their way to
these parts? And did not this
seem to indicate that there must
he a continent in the neighbor-
hood Of the island? That was
something that gave food for
thought!
Be that as it might, Jack was
saved, and his brother gathered
him in his arms.

Finger-tip towels--it'S q delight
fully appropriate name-are usual
~ smallest towels that are placed
in our bathrooms. They are really
guest-towelS, for the use Of guests
who are given the hospitality" Of
our bathrooms. These, "quickie"
towels. to dry the finger-tips, are
not only decorative, but are a
great saving of our larger hand
or face linen towels.
They come not only in white,
but in the loveliest Of pastel
shades, or in deeper shades, if
you wish to carry out a certain
color7Scheme, or color-accent in
your bathroom. They are often
monogrammed, or they come too
with pert rows of flowers or other
decorative motifs at the edge.
Often now, as q cotonary of these
finger-tip towels. we have lipstick
towels.
Very sensible, too, as we house
keepers have found out! These
are of sheer, very dark red linen,
with the word "LipStick" stitched
on them, just above the hem.
Cocktail napkins should be
given to men guests as well as to
women guests. They needn't use
'em If they don't wish to! As a
matter of fact the correct way of
distributing cocktail napkins is on
the small plate that is first passed
to each guest.
This plate may be the six-inch
plate, the bread and butter plate
size, Of china or glass, or a slight
ly larger plate. These plates are
stacked as are templates, with the
cocktail napkin on the top Of the
first plate, and between every
other two plates. These plates,
with the napkins, are passed to
the guests before the cocktail
glasses are passed.
This means that the guest has q
plate for the cocktail glass and
for the food-acceSSories that are
served. Service correct, convent
ent, gracious.
