Dorton gave a gasp "] of pnln an hi* skate Htruok something : snnggly in the snowy ice, then stag- ( geringly recovered bin balance, aided by n tituely grasp from the fur gloved | fiaiul of l?r. Melford, who had been do- | ing n neat outer edge alongside and i grumbling heartily the while. ; "What rotten luck!" he had been way- t lug every live minutes as the merry i skaters whirred l?y, always in satisfying pairs. "And we linve had our shingles up a whole month In this con- i founded burg, nnd still don't kuow a i single, solitary girl in nil tills giddy ( phantasmagoria of whirling skaters"? ? Then he wns interrupted by Dorton's | fall. "Arc you hurt, old man? Whnt've ( you hit?" ho demanded, anxiously peer- i in# through his frosted glasses at his disabled friend, who stooped painfully \ to pick up something from the chipped i lee before hobbling shoreward. "Struck 7" echoed Dorton, sinking ; on to a bench under a lamp post and nursing Ida ankle. "The United States i ateel trust, 1 think, by the feel of my | foot! Here It Is!" And he held up to ] view the obstruction which had Interrupted his fantastic gyrntlons In the center of the lake where the figure skaters had been performing. It was a good sized No. 10 boy's skate, of tho club variety, and its polished nickel blade shone like frozen moonbeams as he surveyed It critically. Melford glanced at It with Interest nud put the laconic query: "Gender masculine, feminine or neutral?" "Feminine," promptly decided Dorton, holding It closer. "It's got some Initials engraved on It?'J. M. T.' No boy was ever so sentimental as that. And no cliapple ever wore clubs, so by the process of elimination We arrive nt the remaining and only possible sex of Jlruty, Its owner.

"If you have quite finished Sherlock- \ Ilolmeslng my skate," broke in a high, 1 cool voice out of the black region be- | yond the rtm of light rays from the arc ] lamp, "will you be kind enough to re- | turn It to me?" "The devil!" ejaculated Dorton under j his breath, starting guiltily and drop- < ping the unlucky skate to the ground. It fell clattering under the bench, and i the doctor dived after It with ostenta- | tious haste. , "You fool!" he swore In Dorton's un- | comfortable ear as he went down on , all fours in his quest. "And this was , our only chance?first woman's voice ] that's ever addressed us since we cnine | west. We might have scraped an ac- ] qualntancc, but now you've made a | mess of it." I "Hlggcr fool you!"

"She's not , llflt UAPf At oil I nn?* ? ?V?? Ml. Mia. a van irn If j UCI voice." "Well, even nice girls sometimes uu- i der such circumstances"? began Melford In an Injured toue, but Dorton i cut blm short, having found the skate ; and held It out toward the voice In j question. But the young woman belonging to It made no move to recover her property, remaining obdurately In the friendly darkness. "Will you be bo good as to bring It to me?" Her tone was as silvery and distant as the strains from the band stand on the other side of the lake. "I've got to see her face," thought the big fellow to himself, "and gain time to square myself somehow." He took a step forward and suddenly measured his full length at her maligned feet, with the skate still clutched In his hand. "My ankle," he moaned when she bent over him, all womanly solicitude, her momentary pique gone. Only tin*- i Ity and pity were visible In her lovely face?quite the loveliest he had ever Rcen, Dorton thought, as he closed his eyes. "Oh, I'm afraid he'B fainted I He's hurt, and It's my fault!" cried the girl, tearing off her mittens to rub snow on the cheeks that looked so nale.ln the white light. "Can't you do something for him? lie wouldn't have been hurt If It hadn't been for my skate!" she quavered, feeling In some woy to blame. "Please go for a doctor." "I am a doctor?a recent arrival In the city," replied Melford. "If we could get him somewhere and cut his shoe off and bandage his foot"? "Yes, yes," put In the girl eagerly. "Call a cab and take him to my home. It's Just around the lake yonder." "Janet Tuttle, where are you? We're been looking for you?and your skateeverywhere! Did you find It?" The girl wns still explaining, amid furious blushes, to her friends, who had gathered In a eurlons circle around her. when, to her relief, the doctor approached and announced that a cabman wns waiting. With the help of Janet's brother, who was In the party, Melford got his disabled chum Into the carriage. Janet gave the driver her address and seated herself with a sort of defiant shyness. At the door of the big house where they drew up her mother greeted, with consternation, her early appearance with two strange men, but this quickly turned to motherly concern when she > beard of the accident. She hastened to supply liniment and bandages and hovered outside the closed door of the wide, old fashioned bedroom whither the injured man had been conducted and waited anxiously with Janet while the doctor attended to the injured ankle. "Now, doc, do be careful," they heard Dorton groan as the door closed, but they eould not hear the rather curious dialogue which begau a moment later. Mel ford got up from his task nud faced his friend with accusing [ yes. "Pnul! You aren't really hurt at all! Pay. whrtt's your game anyway V" Aud lie glared at his pseudo patient, who jat In state, propped in pillows. That roung man's audacious gray eyes dosed geutly, while an ingenuous smile wreathed his smooth countenance. "Sh!" he wild. "I'll tell you my game -the old, old game of hearts, and rou've got to help me. Mum's the word. There was 110 other way. Oh, lon't look so savage! I mean business." \ud the level Hps sjielled grim deterninatlon as they also dosed tlrmly. "You don't mean you want to marry 1 clrl vou'vo never seen In vniir life jeforc toulght?" "That's exactly what I do mean," returned the other genially, "if she'll lave me." "Well, I'll be?hanged!" ejaculated Melford, dazed. "No, you won't?at least I hope not? t>ut that blessed skate will be, and that n the most conspicuous place on our library wall. I said our. Did you lotlce It?" he ended, with large prophecy In his excited eyes. "Mighty certain, seems to me," gruntid Melford. "You're got to square rourself for that break you made about the size of her feet"? "By Jove, I forgot!" Paul's face fell, ind a haunted look came Into his eyes, ivhereat the doctor said, with sympathetic wonder: "As bad as that al eady? But I always said that when rou did get It you'd have It bad"? "She'll have to forgive me and marry ne. I'll love her so she can't help It! \nd anyway." he added innocently, his face clearing, "I don't believe that her dioe Is more than a four and u half, though she's juo Cinderella, I admit, iveu nt that." "You'll do," grunted the doctor. 'Guess you'll get the girl." All of which rash statements were rerifled In the course of time. A Ca*tan-ar Tracedr. Beginning due west of Point Conception, on the California coast, and continuing at irregular Intervals as far south as the bay of Todos Santos, in Ixjwer California, lie the Channel Islands. In this ideal region for the f-achtsmnn, the fisherman and the linnter one comes to feel like a new rusoe on his primitive Isle. And, In eery truth, Cmwe's semlmythlcal story was enacted uj>on one of these name stands, though minus the man Friday ind the happy ending. The castaway In this case was a woman, a Danish emigrant, left ashore through some niscbance by the crew of a vessel that aad sought shelter behind San Nicholas durlug a storm in the early fifties. l-*or over seventeen years the lone creature lived unsought and forgotten, though the time at length came when on the days the mist clearing north wind blew she could climb to the Island's highest point and view the ranchers' herds grazing upon the mainland. And at last, when hope and reason had both long died, the poor, wild, gibbering creature was fouud in her wolfs burrow among the hills by the advance guard of the otter hunters' fraternity, who had long wondered at the mysterious footprints they marked upon the lonely sands. ? Field and Stream. The Waya of Premiers. Queen Victoria oace wrote to Lord ralmerstou, then premier of England, expressing the wish that she could speak from his place In the house of commons. I'almcrston replied: "Vis coaut I'aluierston presents his humble duties to your majesty and has had the honor to receive your majesty's communication of yesterday stating what your majesty would have said it your majesty had been in the house of commons. Viscount Palmersteu may, perhaps, be permitted to take the liberty of saying that it is fortunate for those from whose opinion her majesty differs that your majesty is not in the bouse of commons, for they would have to encounter a formidable antagonist in argument, although, on the other hand, those whose opinions your majesty approves would have had the support of a powerful ally In debate." Disraeli when premier hod a more direct way in dealing with women. One of them once attempted to get a certain piece of Information from him. He listened to what she had to say and then answered, "Oh, you darling!" Hla Serioa* OCcbm. In one of the missionary schools ol China the ages of the male student! range from nine to thirty-five.
