"Well." she announced noon when they at last halted for lunch, establishing themselves upon a grassy plateau divided by a tiny stream that later cut past the camp. Both were hungry and the sandwiches quickly vanished, but neither made a move to go. Below, the lake glittered briskly, "we are all alone for the day.

Edmond, "but It will be easy going down, dear." It was not an easy matter, however, for presently the sun sank below the line of hills and the trail through the woods was dark and lonesome. Nan had Insisted that Mrs. Edmond take her arm where the trail made It possible, and though the elder woman tried not lean heavily upon the girl, Nan's shoulders ached. Suddenly Nan stopped and clapped her hands. "They're back," she cried.

"Wlnt was horrid last night," she said slowly, her glance directed toward the tiny Indian island out in the lake. "He was so certain that we could not do without him that I told him not to come." "And then," a soft hand fell lovingly upon the girl's soft hair.

"An then he said he would come anyi way, because he knew I never could run the camp alone, and I told blm I was perfectly able to run the camp and care for you, and that I didn't care.

A woman who is given to carrying the burdens of others has recently passed through an experience that has left her temporarily hard hearted.

She will get over that in time because she is built on sympathetic lines, and lunch. Mrs. Edmond noticed that the girl kept scanning the lake and guessed the cause.

Notwithstanding the absence of the artificial safeguards that a conventional society has ordained, circus performers are, as a class, the most moral folk on the face of the earth. An old circus man expressed the fact In this way: "For two hundred years there has not been a domestic scandal nor a divorce among us when both husband and wife were from recognized circus families. In every case where there has been a scandal, either one or the other has been an outsider." Everybody's. have gone across the lake had they not supposed that Leland would be there to do squire duty.

The woman's needs were pressing because she was a wage-earner and had to work hard for her money, so she took what she could get, a stop-gap as she knew, and the prize she drew was a foi lorn-looking woman with a pretty little daughter ten years old. Both wore shabby winter clothing and the mother did not have enough money to pay the office fee. The woman who took her paid both fees, securing the trunk belonging to the pair and took them borne with her.
