Chapter 19 OUT OF THE FOG Two mornings later, at her camp 40 miles up river Sonya awoke at daybreak, parted the tent-flap and looked out. Ralph and the two guides were still rolled up in their sleeping bags. Through the gray smoke mist ris ing Irom the cold waters of the Lll luar, pairs of nesting teal and ducks zipped overhead, their swift wings whistling long after the birds were swallowed up in the mist. Overhead in the tall pines little vlreos and flame colored warblers, flitting, through the branches and darting, out into the air were already busy with the fledgling problem. Stepping down to the water edge, she propped her mirror against a stone, bathed her face- and hands, and braided her hair. Back at the campfire, she raked some coals out of the ashes, got a fire going, and cooked bacon, trout, scones and cof-, fee. Ralph and the two guides still ' showed no signs of waking, so she took a small bucket and started up a mountain torrent to a thicket of ; red raspberries. Not long after she reached the patch, she happened to glance back k- 11 sA ALMOST TIME By Mary Graham Bonner 1 d9 need something to keep my n back," sighed Willy Nilly.

Santa gave them lichen, or moss, which they liked better than any thing, and patting them, said: 'It's almost time, my fine Rein deer." When Santa and Great Boy went back into the shop the Puddle Mud dlers were awake. "Don't you want to join the pa rade?" Santa asked. "What parade?" they replied In surprise.

They glided ashore, beached the craft and walked up to her fire, with their rifles in the crook of their arms. And then she recognized them as Curt Ralston and his young part ner! They were a welcome surprise, out of the fog. For several reasons she was never gladder to see people than those two. But what were they doing up the Lllluar? They hadn't mentioned that they intended to come north from Russian Lake. Through a screen of boughs she watched them a minute. They did not wake Ralph or the guides. Curt pointed at her breakfast keeping warm in the ashes, and looked around for her. evidently knowing , she was up. She stepped out to the timber edge. Curt saw her then and came up along the torrent. "You're awake eariy," ne greeted with his likable smile. He was casual enough, as though just meeting some chance acquaint ance; but Sonya saw the man's tribute to her in his eyes and no ticed how his glance clung to her face and hair. She felt sure he had not come upon her camp by acci dent but with, some definite pur pose. I couldnt sleep with a morning like this just outside the tent," she answered. "Your breakfast looked so good that Paul and I almost grabbed it A RHlt m uk hit htad Synopsis: Toyland Is upset because Its favorite doll, Christina, Is made Invisible by a bracelet given her by a queen. They try to help her, but only one person knows how to take off the bracelet. The bracelet hints who that person is. Chapter X THE QUEEN OF FAIRIES The white woolly dog was so eager to help Christina, who had been made invisible by a magic bracelet, that he just scampered oft across the snow fields without saying where he was going. Christina ran along behind him for a while, and then she stopped and said, "Woolly Dog, where are we going? Whom are you hunting?" "Thats right," he barked, "I was in such a hurry." He looked unhap py so that Christina laughed and scratched his ear. He could feel her but he couldnt see her. I tell you, It's funny talking to someone you can't see. But the bracelet said the person who can make me visible again lives at the roots of a tall pine tree," said Christina. "Where is there a big woods?" 'That's it,1 said the dog. "That's where I was going. I know. Come on," and off the dog went, faster than ever. Soon they saw a dark pine woods ahead of them. When they came to the first tree the dog said, "Now you knock on each tree and see if any one lives there." t. Resolves Into grammatical elements T. FertalDlng to a historical period t. Emblems 9.

"You will stay and have break fast with us, wont you?" "If yonll let me give you hand with that berry-picking." "All right." He took up her bucket, and they went back along the torrent to the patch. "1 dldnt know Paul and you were Intending to come up this way," she remarked, bending down a tall briar. He answered her unspoken ques tion. "We're prospecting up the Lllluar." Sonya did not know whether to believe him or not. Ever since meeting him she had been trying to figure him out. He certainly dldnt appear to be a prospector. He was miles above the type. Except for her father, she had never met a man whose quiet effi cient power Impressed her as much as his. She hated to think that he was Just a drifter, leading a care free existence. That was all right for the men at Russian Lake, but he had better stuff to him. "Paul and I are going up as far as the pass," he volunteered pres ently. And then he came out with the purpose of his visit. "If there's no objection on the east side of the fence, our parties, could sort of be neighbors. In this country people usually throw in together that way." His offer, as fine as it was unex pected, nearly took Sonya's breath. She wanted to snap it up Instantly before he could change his mind. Two days of river travel had showed her how little she and Ralph knew about the Strong-Woods and how worthless those lazy guides were. With Curt leading the party she could feel safe, and if anybody could get on good terms with the ut affiirf.''Wh So Christina Knocked on this tree and that tree. But they didn't hear a thing. They walked and walked until they were too tired to go on. Dear, dear," said Christina, and the woolly dog could hear she was crying. It made him so angry at the queen who had bewitched her, that lie just barked and barked and jum ped around. But as he jumped his little collar of gold bells said, ' Tin kle, jingle, Tinkle, jingle." Suddenly there was a silver flash and the Queen of Fairies stood be side them saying, "You are calling me, arent you? The bells on your collar are ringing." Then the dog remembers the Queen of Fairies had said she would help him if he jingled the bells on his collar. He told her their story and she thought for a long time. Then she said, "I think I know whom that queen meant. Come with me." They followed and soon they came to a big pine tree, and sure enough, there was a little door in the trunk. Christina rapped, and a little mole stuck his head out, calling, "Who's therer Why that's the person who can't see," exclaimed the doll. "Mister Mole, do you make gold bracelets? "Yes, Indeed, very fine ones," said Mister Mole. "I have one here' said Christina, "Can you take it off? Can you see it?" Yes, Z can always see my own work." said Mister Mole. "Come Into my workshop and I'll have it oft In a minute." vWyi &&h wG'l czMb ss&'ss?-- SWH? 'r7xMv$ ssllel MUTT AND JEFF MUTT MEBDBP NO TRAFFIC LIGHTOTO HNOW WHERE HE WASNft.

"If the idea doesn't appeal to you," be said, "please don't be best tant about saying so. Too mustn't let us break into any of your plans. "Oh, but it does appeal to mel" "You like It, then?" Sonya hesitated. In Curt's tones and hi manner she could see that be was Interested in her. On lengthy wilderness trip together where they would be thrown into constant intimate association, he might come to like her a very great deal. It wouldn't be right to allow mac. "But you'li be traveling so much raster than we," she objected. "Oh, no; we'll be taking it lei surely, scouting for float as we go. To be frank, I dont believe you and Ralph are use to water-dogging on a mountain river. Till you get on to tne nang 01 tmngs It mightn't be a baa Idea to have a couple of experi enced people along. Also, if those guides dont prove dependable you wouldnt be left to the lurch."' "Your offer Is magnanimous, Curt." - She stumbled just a little over his first name. "I don't know anybody else who'd have made it. But we'd be a positive nuL.mce." "Your company and Ralph's would be a real pleasure to us both. Talk It over with him, won't you?" Still wavering, sonya looked down into the torrent, where a number of tiny trout were darting about In a pool like little flashes of sunshine. She knew that the safe unselfish thing was to refuse. But then she thought that if she steered their association carefully she could guide it into a comradely friendship. And she did need his help so badly, with her It might make all the difference between success and abject failure. We might we could try it," she assented finally. "At least we can start out together, and if it doesn't work we can always split up." As tney went on filling the nail Curt congratulated himself on hav ing neatly solved a tough problem.
