Lucy never waited to make a closer acquaintance for after one agonizing moment, during which the power to move seemed to have left her, with a shriek of terror she fairly flew down the trail. Once she stopped and looTted back to see if the dread object still nursned her and when again she caught a glimpse of something through the trees, she redoubled her efforts and with a wail of fright, sped into the farther woods.

She next pro ceeded to prepare a substantial and somewhat bulky lunch for Lucy in tended to make another and she hoped) a more successful effort to reach hen home once more. So with a farewell glance at the cabin and its rude sur- roundings, she again set forth a very j footsore and heart 8ick little girl, and she thought with regretful longing t oi tne safety and shelter of the little school house so lately scorned, she wandered too, what had become of Edna, had she only escaped from the clutches of the bear, to . wander off into the deeper woods and perhaps fin ally perish. Starving to death must be a very distressful way to die, but then perhaps she Could eat roots or berries: though to be sure she knew of no berries that would be growing I in the woods at this time of year, and it must be painful as well as very la vrJfvis wrV to dig roots with your hands still if. one were starving one might dig very well indeed. Oh dear! how tired, how very tired she was and how her head ached. The sun was so high it must be nearly noon and to iudge from her appetite it must be way past dinner time, so she sat down and ate very sparingly of her luncheon and after restinc a while enheartened and refreshed she plodded, on. How rsyiicJ f-nd dry her throat felt. If h could only come across a little pool or spring. But hark ! listen ! what i's that faint musical tinkle she hears, she listens again and then starts for ward in the direction from which the sound comes and is overjoyed when she finds herself beside a dashing splashing crystal clear little mountain stream. Oh how good the water taste; Vvas every anything better, and joy of joys; just ahead of her is a rude shelter, nerhaps erected by some summer camping party. She approach ed cautiously and finding it empty she dropped in a weary little heap in the sunny doorway. She was very tired and thought she would rest just a few minutes before starting on, it would o -in pnsv matter t follow the stream down into the valley and though it might not bring her out near home yet it surely would get her out of thii lonely, horrible woods. It might be the little stream thai ran through the home district not far from the school house, how she wished it was: the cabin and its surroundings tallied exactly with the description she had Clearance Sale of All Oxfords and Pumpjj LOST Bunch of keys with Fair store tag attached.

The night air was cooler than usual and she crept shivering into the cabin. She had decided to spend the night there and journey on in the morning. She opened ud her package of food and ate greedily of it for now that it was a certainty that she would rench the valley, she decided to enjoy the lux ury of a full meal. The place was filled with innumerable night noises of the woods and these gave her a frin-htened feeling and though sht tried to banish them from her mind the thought of various tales and leg ends c.-nnected with the Ioca,;tv kept recurring to her mind. Principal among these was the story of an old miner who had been murdered for his treasure ; which had been buried or hid le " -veil t.hp.t his murderers had not found it. lt was said he made fre quent visits to the scene o the crime and to the hiding place of his riches and undoubtedly great wealth awaited Vo r.r-e with onoueh courage or tem erity to trail the ghostly guardian to '." l'1'ng place of the gold.
