And yet, it shocked and unnerved him not to find | ber. Ho called to her at te top of his lungs, twice, then thrice, and to Fred- {dle. He had no answer. To continue shouting was a waste of breath. He would need all his breath perhaps to { catch up with Stilliter and Celestia.

At about this time Prof. Stilliter waked from that sleep in which he had asked this question: “How will I know when it is day?’ He had got up and groped about in the hut until he had located the door. He opened this and went out. The doof was on the shady side of the hut; no warm rays of the sun fell on the professor to tell him that it was day. It was as cool as night in the shadow. One hand always touching the hyt, he felt his way along the side of it until he had turned the houses which they had bullt, It was far better than Prof. Stilliter Do You know That should be found than that hs should go through the dangers and agonies of seek- ing.

A blasted pine staning alone was the first landmark to which the goddess of chance directed Freddie the Ferret. “We're not lost now,” he sald, and he helned Celestia to her feet.
