John blew a cloud of smoke and his

will release me. How about it, Jane?"
Jane looked over Johns head at an
inhnitesimal crack in the wall. "Of

voice sounded cold and remote. 1T

washed up"
Alan crossed to her side and looked
down at her. "And you'll marry me.
Janey; we'll forget this nonsense"
Marry you?" she asked. II don't

You've changed yours once or twice.
I'll never marry you - never"
Alan f1inched and moved back

over to where she stood. Jane" he
said, "now that our pseudo engage
ment is broken, will you marry me?"
Jane looked into his deep-set eyes.
She liked what she saw there but there
was still a question in her mind that

Small stones would have come out
much more easily, but the market
price for emeralds the size of the thick
ends of hens eggs made it worth the
three or four minutes spent on each.
Two or three men appeared on the
ridge within ten yards of me, but l
still worked on: l only had to throw
my toboggan down and jump on it;
I'd everything ready. l was working
at my fifth emerald.
Il just got it out and then six of
the men came up and all bowed to-
gether. 1t was time to be off. So I
bowed too, and lifted my toboggan
over my head as bowed and laid it
down on the snow, watching them all
the time. They all had knives. and
some had bows and arrows, but fam
cied that, if they started shooting, the
pace of my toboggan would beat them.
And one of them, only two yards from
me, said something about honoring
his village, and said: No. I'm going
this way and threw the chisel down
and kept the hammer, and clutched
my parachute against my ribs and
was off.
1T was a perfect surface for a
toboggan, just that touch of ice that
makes it slip along almost without
leaving track; the radiant mountain
air rushed into my lungs and sang
screeching past me; there was one
shout from the little men, and then l
came to the edge, and I saw my
toboggan floating with the air of
tired butterfly. while dropped like
stone. l pulled the cord, and then
| felt the parachute tug at my shoul-
ders, and soon after that saw my
toboggan swoop past me. The two
things had worked in admirably to-
gether; the toboggan gave me speed
to get away from those men at any
moment l liked, and. a second or so
later it gave me just that clearance
from the precipice without which one
could never have worked parachute.
"And here | was with five emeralds
in my pocket, the smallest of which
would scarcely have been hidden by
form. Did I say six? Well, l didn't
count the sixth: it was scarcely larger
than pea. I had other things in my
pockets too. and began to regret that
/ had brought so much; the hammer,
for instance, to drive in nails in my

"Well, to make long story short,

that they did not come for me l

just as he said. After the funeral, and
when I'd paid all expenses, and come
into sum of thirty-three pounds eight
shillings, which turned out very
handy, | did good deal of thinking
1t occurred to me that with a tobog-
gan on a snow slope of two hundred
yards, and then precipice of two
thousand feet, it stood to reason that
should require parachute.
"A parachute" muttered one of us.
YES" said Jorkens. "You see. what
would be the use of a toboggan, when
you had only two hundred yards to 60,
and the precipice sheer for two thou
sand feet? 1t would be no good without
the parachute.

so as to have plenty of pace left when
the little men came after me; the more
time had to myself at the top, the
more emeralds I'd get. l took three
days over the climb.
'On the morning of the fourth day
l came to the villages, little houses
with big thatches, lot OF them at the
same level just under the snow-line.
And then saw the round one-storied
house of brass shining right in the mid
die of the nearest village, with plenty
of space all around it, and remem-
bered my fathers words. l began to
hurry my pace.
But very soon horn blew, and
out they came from their huts and
began to come after me from the
village l had just passed, and two
more villages were doing the same.
Little men in warm coats, carrying
bows and arrows, as far as could see.
