Tbe next day he deserted hi assistant aad sought the frosea pool with a pair f akatea slung over his ahoulder. Be vii kneeling on the bank fasten lor hia akatea when be heard the aound of light footfall oa the thin crust of anow. lie looked uPv ! A girl waa coming down the wood' land path, awingtng shlulng akatea ever her shoulder. lie could see that be was dark, with soft masses of curl lng black hair and large black eye; a lovely rose color bloomed In her cheeks and tinted her tender lips. She wore a bright red skirt frith a Jaunty fur Jacket, and on her head waa perched, a cap of eomethlng soft and fleecy. The girl did not seem to see Oliver as aha came lightly down to the edge f the pond and knelt down to adjust the akatea to her pretty russet ahod feet . For aa instant ahe poised on the edge of the ice like a bright hued bird. Now ahe auddenly dashed toward aim with fur gloved band outstretch- est IastlnctlTely he dodged her em brace, and aa he ellpped at she ut tered a soft chuckling laugh. There ensued the moat startling ex perieoce in Oliver's career. For a half hour he waa pursued about that small try space by tola girl of the fairy form and lamlnoua black eyes. Not a word did ahe utter, but now and ... v. H.Hen. ji BODoo au buskac" ' then that low, delk-iou laugh broke from her Up as her Dnger tlpa brush ed hi aleere. Oliver, puzsJed and quite a silent aa hia fair pursuer, doubled and turn ed and twisted and found difficulty In evading the grasp of her hand. There was no aound In the forest save the ring of their akatea upon the Ic and 'the occasional fall of some frost laden twig. In the distance btne Jaya were screaming, and occasionally the call of a crow came down from some altitude. AU at once, when Oliver had again slipped through her little fingers, the girl stopped and pressed her hand over her beating heart "It's not fair. Oliver." she pouted. Ton have decidedly the advantage of me. If had not been handicapped I would have canght you long ago." Oliver Buy caught bis breath sharp ly, what was this girl saying, and why did she call him Oilier? Again sne spotte, tni time with sn acute note of anxiety In her sweet voice. -uont tesse, Oliver. Wont you speak? Tour alienee frightens me. Again her bead was beut In that lis tening attitude, only the eyes turned toward the yonng man were pitifully eager. "I wonder If you have not made a mistake" began Oliver gently, when the sound of bis voice startled her Into a terror that carried her swiftly to the other aide of the pond Oh. who-Is It? Where I Oliverr If his own ajajet tone bad resssurssf her. ahe wast oa: "I waa not bar blind. I could aea aa well a a ay body until a year ago, aad then oue day I fell through the k In this pond and contracted a form of rheumatUm that the physlclaea say reused the km of my sight." " But It la not Incurable. 8urely you must recover your eight some day pro tented Oliver. clear wbrstle sounded through the wood, and, following the crash of froara branches, a youth of alxteea came running toward them. "Oh. there you are, Elsie! Are you all right?" be called anxiously. yea,"-abe said severely- -Where have you been, Oliver Lew is J I didn't think you would' be down so soon. Elsie, and I ran en to chin a little with the surveyor beyoud here. aad I forgot all about you. Wbeu I did remember I didn't lose any time getting here, you can betr lie looked curtoualy at Oliver Itay, and the girl Introduced them with a reetltlon of that delicious laugh. "I waa afraid you might fall lu." said the boy after shaking baud with the tall young waa. "You don't want another void bath.'t "I eacad that." eaJdmt,be; gjrl.

I chucked a atone in yesterday, aud It went In kerplunk. It Isn't growing any colder either. Be sides, who wanta to skate In there anyhow?" -I would." said the girl dariugly- "that Is. If I thought I would fall lu. Perhaps the shock of the k-y water would restore my sight." 8be turned her soft appealing eyea toward the two Olivers. Don't you dare try, tinier' cried the boy.' "You might catch pneumonia and die. and what would dud aud 1 do then V But I am so helpless," half sobbed the girl, putting ber hand In-fore her sightless eye. All at once, without warning, the Ice upon which they stood separated Into one cake which capsized them into the icy waters of the dark pool. It waa Oliver Itay who bore the brunt of tbe rescue. Kllse lost i-on-sclouxnens at once, and hor brother gave ber Into Rays stronger gruop while he tried to fight for life. lu the end It was Rsy who saved them both. Afterward he nerer could tell how It happened that be lay panting' on the surface with tbe uiM-onrlou form of the girl beside him. while young Oliver puffed and Mowed and ollil over hi sister.

Then at last came tbe day when Oliver Ray was to take farewell and rejoin his party of surveyors. Mr. Lewi, who had lieeome warmly attached to tbe young man. Invited him Into the library to say farewell to Elsie, who was now sitting up. At her feet aat young Oliver, brimming over with the joy of renewed health. "Here is your rescuer. Elsie." said her father. "Mr. Ray is leaving us now, and perhaps yon better tell blm the good news." Ehtie turned ber head very slowly to ward Oliver Ray. and her large dark eyes met hi with a different expres sion In their melting depths. Slowly they wandered over his face, at first wonderingly and then gladly, and at last, as If conscious that she was be traying ber pleasnre In his exceeding good looks, she blushed and turned her head away, but ber band remained In his.

If It had not taken away my sight I would not have known the blessedness of Ita restoration." "And If Ood had not sent Mr. Rsy to the pond I might now be childless." said Mr. Lewis with emotion. Oliver Ray went away with a dlxzy light In his eye and a recollection of the happiest three weeks be had kvef spent. Today hsd been Its crown of Joy. He walked through the woods cast tbe pool, which had melted nor and lay dark nnder the afternoon sky.

Iterore or Colllna once they get started, but they lack tbe fast starting ability and are therefore on an average at least a second alower In going from base to base. One point tbat la generally overlook ed In commenting on a hall player's ability to get down to first quick Is' tbe knack he baa of getting rid of hia bat with tbe least low of time By care fully watching the bs tiers It will be aeen tbat no two drop the willow the same way.

Just aa a Jumier win use weights In making a broad leap. Tbla matter of bat droning Is one of Importance, and many players devote hours to acquiring tbe knack of doing It properly.
