Manuel Lisa, a Spaniard, figured
largely in the early-day history Of
what Is now Montana. He built the
first habitatiOn in the state. Lisa
was a resident Of St Louis which
had been the river capital Of Leu
isiana, when that great stretch OF
territory was Spanish property.
When Lewis and Clark returned
from their transcontinental won
der trip, they brought back to civil
izati0n stories Of the fur wealth OF
the country which had just been
ceded over TO the United States
and every adventurer in the Miss
issippi valley I0nged TO so into the
new country.
Lisa was a man Of some means and
much ability. He knew something OF
the possibilities of the fur trade. he
resolved TO investigate for himself anc
organize a small expedition to go into
the wilderness. In this expedition were
such men as George Drouillard, who
had made the great trek with Lewis
and Clark. In the spring of 1897 Lisa
and Drouillard, with a small number
Of backwoodsmen, left st. Louis in q
5man boat for the untracked north

 Mrs. Gregg" Hiatt said, "this is Toby Ryan. Toby-Dick Alper. You three make up the company today. We'll be ready to leave as soon as Frazier shows up."
 Frazier, Toby learned, was the art editor of the magazine for which the photographs were being made. They were to illustrate a short story that would appear months later. Toby was to be the heroine and Dick Alper the hero. Mrs. Gregg was to be Toby's mother.
 Where are we going?" the girl asked.
 Out on Long Island. There's house there, belonging to some friend of Frazier's, and bay where we can get the shot of you and AL per in the boat. How about ward robes? Have you all got everything you were to DrlngI
 The suitcases were opened and the costumes checked. While they were doing this Dwight Frazier ar- rived. He was short, square faced, individual who spoke in a slow, low-pitched voice. He looked at the costumes, said they would do.
 Presently they set off in Hiatus car-Hiatt and Frazier in front, Toby with Alper and Mrs. Gregg be- hind.
 Toby liked Mrs. Gregg at once. The older woman was pleasant and friendly. She asked Toby about her work and seemed interested in the answers. Alper told them he was studying art. The year before he'd had 8 job as commercial artist, he said, but had discovered he could earn more and make better use of his time modelling. His wife was in the chorus of a musical show. Some day." he said, "she's going to be real actress"
 Alper told them about the "real break" he had had a few months before when he and dozen other models had boarded a cruise ship for a weeks trip to the West h. dies, enjoying the deck sports and swimming pool, summing themselves by day and dancing by night. Ca mera men had been making pic lures meanwhile to use in cruise advertising, but the models enjoyed themselves and were paid for their work.
 It was after one o'clock when they reached the location" The house, set apart from those about it, was on the edge of the bay. It looked like an old-fashioned farm house which, Frazier told them, was what the story called for.
 They left the car and went up to the house. We'll take the porch | shot first" Hiatt announced.
 This was to be a picture of Toby and Mrs. Gregg. The two went in- to the house and servant showed them the room they were to use for dressing. Toby slipped on her sweater and white skirt and Mrs. Gregg put on a simple cotton frock | She put on spectacles, changed the

CHAPTER XXI

There was no time next day for Toby to sit at home waiting Tor messages from Tim Jamieson. Al 8:3O call came from the Models League. Marty Hiat wanted Toby to pose for some magazine illustra- tions and the job was to be Ion lo- cation"
 Toby knew what that meant making pictures outside the studio, some place where the background and surroundings were exactly what they were supposed to be instead of studio props.
 You're to be at Hiatt's studio at Il o'clock" Sally told her.
 Yes"
 Now I'll tell you what clothes you'll need. Got a pencil?"
 Toby reached for one, said she had.
 "You1l need thin summery dress mot an evening dress, the sort you might put on on a summer after noon if you wanted to be a little bit dressed up. It should have ruff 1les or lace, something sort of fril- 1y. The color doesn't matter, so long as it's light. Have you any, thing like that?"
 "I'll get it." Toby promised.
 White shoes and light hose, of course. Then you'll need sweater that will photograph dark and a light skirt. That's all. Remember you're to be at the studio at H."
 Toby said she'd remember, and put down the telephone. I've got to have a frilly summer dress" she told Harriet. Where on earth do you suppose can find one?"
 How about my lowered organ aie?"
 Toby shook her head. "No, it isn't supposed to be an evening dress. It's to wear in the after noon. I'll have to buy something, I gus3s, but where can find dress like that at this timer"
 It was the last week in March too early for new summer dresses in the shops, months since the last from the year before had disap- peared.
 That's the way" Harriet grum- bled. They always want summer clothes in winter and winter ones in summer"
 Toby dressed hurriedly and set of on her shopping trip. She went to fouy stores before she found 8 dress that was summery- looking, with short sleeves and frills at the neck. It was in the home frocks" depart ment-too big but it could be pinned over in the back. The dress was crisp and fresh and in a photograph it would look like a delicate voile or organdie.
 But the shopping had taken time. Toby, glancing at a clock on a building across the street, saw that she had less than an hour to get back to the apartment, press the new dress, pack it with the other things she must take, and reach the studio.
 She did it, though. She stopped to buy fresh light hose and then rushed home. Five minutes before Il o'clock, carrying her worse-for- wear suitcase, she pushed open the door of Hiatus studio.
 Marty greeted her cheerfully "H'are you, Toby?" he said. Going to give you boat ride today. How'd you think you'll like that?"
 Isn't 1t a little cool?"
 Marty grinned. Might be-" he said. "See that you don't rock the boat, will you? We don't want to have to put on any rescue acts"
