"Owl Ugh!" 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. And, by Jove,

clla cither. It fits a No. 5 foot, or I'll
eat my hat. IJIrls are so emancipated ^
these days," he went on whimsically,
"even their feet are throwing off
trammels and spreading out of all"?
"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!" Dorton rejoined ,
fiercely, bumping heads with his colleague
as he, too, stooped to recover |
the bone of contention, hoping In some |
measure to retrieve himself In the eyes |
of the Invisible unknown. "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!"
