To Doug- nas the prospect of a habi- tation and a bed after two nights in the forest was Pleasant, He had enjoyed all his new experiences, and his interest had not begun to flag, but @ little touch of aiviligation would not come amiss mow. Even primitive man’s first thought after food was of a shelter and something soft to rest upon. Aleo he was getting a tittle less enthusi- astic about a fish diet. He wondered if they would have as good a larder in yonder cabin as Kaufman had ex- hibited. ‘In the trip across the lake his fa- tigue left him. He took off his cap and let the fresh breeze fan his un- kempt hair. He thought with a #mile of what a bedraggled appearance he must present, and wondered what his friends at home would say could they see him now. As they neared the island a man came to the cabin and stood looking eut over the water. George instantly gave hie halloa of greeting, and the man turned his gaze on the canoe for & moment, then walked to the wa- ter’a edge and waited. Ae they drew near, Douglass noted that he was a tall spare man, about sixty years of age, with white hair 4 oldierly bearing. His face and mien were not exactly in keeping with the locality. He was brown and active looking, but the face was more that of the eoholar than of th@ woodemen, He did not speak un- til they were almost to the beach, then in a deep, pleasant voice hi “You came over the Wildca' it la a dong time since si have entered ther ‘The words, the accent, and the ease with which joke told Douglass was @ gentieman, The knowledge surprised and pleased him; he felt that the presence of such a man in this solitude promised a new experi- story. ped upon the beach a extend. ir” he said, less because you were unexpécted.

Above the freplace hung @ pair of magnifi- cent antlers. Bhelves filled with books covered one side of the room, but save for these and the argand Iamp which Rung above the table, everything was @ product of tho forest. With keen appreciation, Douglass noted that not a single piece of ‘trumpery spoiled the congruity. The réom was the work of an artist. “Ho suddenly became conscious that his host was eying him quizatcally. “You must pardon me,” Douglass sald. “This room astonished me so much I forgot my manners. It is the most perfect thing of its kind imagi- nable.” “I am gratified to hear you say 80; it 1s a great pleasure to me to have the place surprise people; it is the pride of the archtitect, for almost , everything here I made with my own » > hands.” Then Douglass became suddenly aware of his three days’ beard and his torn clothing, for a door opened and a young girl entered. She stopped at steht of the stranger; she was sur- ‘prised, but not embarrassed. /Why, we've got company.” she cried in a clear, sweet voice, andcame ‘at once to Douglass with extended f°) daughter, Mary,” Harrison au ‘Mr. Douglass, dea * Douglass could not decide whether «ine was a child or a woman.

Dougiass said not a word; he wae too saturated with wonder to talk. He sat down on the bed and stared atraight before him for a few min- pieend. then said half aloud: “Well rn damned,” and as he sha and made such alterations in his ap- pearance as he could, he had re- course to that satisfying expression some twenty times, At supper another pleasant surprise awaited him. The girl had donned a dress of soft, white material, and colled her hair in @ mass upon her head. These simple changes seemed to transform her, and he was unde- cided which was the more entrancing, the little maiden of the woods or th: beautiful young woman. ane he was clear titie well 5 @ guest sal It but Ustoned with pleasure to Harrison's deep, musical voice as he talked of the cabin and its environments. The young girl chatted merrily and win- Ringly and asked questions with a charming frankness and naivete, By the time the meal was over Douglass decided that she was a child after all; there was about her « total lack of artificiality or embarrass- ment, but, despite her innocence and edi he felt that she was discern- ing. i She looked full in bis eyes when he addressed her, and two or three times when some conventional compliment or phrase was on his lips the words remained unuttered. After supper they returned to the large living room, and Harrison pro- duced some excellent cigars, As they smoked Douglass said: “I cannot help telling you what @ ¢ monumental si everythii about this place hed naturally expected to find the cus- tomary surroundings of the forest rise to dweller, and I cannot bring myself Mary to realize that such appointments as you have are possible in this remote district” jarrison smiled. “As I told id ho sald, “T have a weakness for ob- @erving the effect of my arrange- ments on the chance visitor, but in truth there is nothing emtraordinary T have simply taken from Spufinene ate plying the I make brief pilgriineaes aS} Mant- towlsh every two or three weeks, and order, or bring back, whatever ap- pears necessary to my comfort, pro- vided it is something which I cannot mnycelf Manufacture or procure here. t wish to exercise my inventive genius and also to Leaag busy.” "You Bare live here mney Te en years.

The speaker paused and reflected for @ little and then con- tinned: “My daughter was born here, but the time will probably come when’ she will want to see the world, and when it does, I will take her into it.” “But she has alre: been away? Bhe appears"—— Douglass stopped; it was not the right thing to say, The older man relieved his embar- Tassment promptly. “She appears educated? So she ts: I have been her constant and only tutor. One naturally jumps to the conclusion that education and culture are products of the cities only, but that assumption will not bear analy- sis, The child is unlearned in many things, but they are for the most part things which it is best for her not to know. She is innocent and honest. With the exception of the two times when she accompanied me to Manitowish she has never been away from the island, Knowing nothing of the world, she has never cared for it—she is happy here, but the world may call her some day.” Douglass sat silent and interested. “T said she was born here,” Harri- son continued: “her mother died a short time after her birth and is buried on this island.” At this moment Mary entered the room and, seating herself on her father’s knee, threw her arm about his neck. Douglass was at a loss as to how ould address her. ‘Miss Harri- * did not accord with her or her ary” was out of the question, and “Miss Mary" was worse than elther; so he avolded the name together, “How long are you going to att she asked, and both men smiled at the direct question. hink we will push on to-mor- “Oh, you mustn't think of such a thing, you must stay ever so lon) Father likes you, I can always tell in a minute when he likes people.” Then artlessly: “Father, make him stay, I like him, too.” Both men laughed aloud at th! and her clear voice joined in the mer- riment. “Where are you bound for?” Har- rison asked, “We met map maker who told us of a wonderfu' he had dis- In covered and named ‘Lost Lake,’ and Wwe set out to find it.

Bhe kissed him, gave Dougiass her hand and bade them good-night. From her room she called out to her father, “May I take Mr. Douglass over to bay Mary?” “Yes.” “To-morrow morning?” “Yes, yes, if he wants to go.” “Do you want to go?” she called to Douglass. He did want to go, and sald so. ‘When he lay down to rest that night he told himself that this red-letter di E gratifyin Tid scholarly who lived in the woods, read Horace, and smoked imported cigars, and a girl who c and ease of a young woman of the t; world, and who tramped in the forest alone, and told a strange man she Uked him, and invited him for a trip in the woods with her. It was all novel and very delightful. He thought of her for a long time that night—she was a revelation to him. Let him not be misunderstood. In his admiration there were no foolish nor dishonest thoughts. He knew himself, a world-worn man of forty, and she was a child, not more than She trusted him in her in- and moreover her father trusted him, for he had unhesitatingly given his consent to their expedition the next day.

Do you like to shoot?” “I have never used a rifle to any extent, but I belonged to a gun club once, years ago, and became quite expert with a shot-gun.” “There are wild ducks over in my lake, lots of them; if you promise to kill only two for our dinner, you may take father’s gun with us this mornin, Douglass promised. He was very glad of the suggestion; in fact, he bad been a very good shot at the traps, and he was delighted to be able to demonstrate himself not wholly ignorant of all the things he; these people knéw 20 well. After breakfast they prepared for trip which bad been suggested the night before. Harrison handed his guest @ shot-gun and ammuni- tion, and as he took it he noticed that it was a hammerless gun of high grade. As he walked with hig host to the beach Mary preceded shen; she was bare-headed, and looked charming in @ white waist and dark blue serge skirt, made quite short; her small feet were encased in high russet walking boots, and she stepped with a light- ness and grace that bespoke at once her good body and happy mind. “We'll go in my canoe,” she said, @hoving it off before he could offer to assist her, “It goes easier than the big ones,” Douglass eyed the diminutive craft dublously. ‘Will it carry us both?" he asked. ‘Oh, yes, if you alt quietly. Father made it small so I could ec it” “Suppose you let me paddle?" “No, you don’t know the way, a: I want you to be a sightseer to-day, He stepped obediently into the carne, and Harrison shoved the boat the beach.

The stream wus narrow, and the branches of the trees met overhead and formed a leafy, half-lighted tunnel of green. There was no perceptible current, and #0 amooth waa the surface of the weter that every detall of the over- hanging trees was reproduced below them, In the dim light, the clear water itself was almost invisible save where it rippled gently about the prow of the boat,.and they seemed to float in mid-air.

At first he could discern nothing, but on a lit- tle closer inspection he saw an ant mal lying on the log asleep. It was about a foot in length, and its heavily built body was covered with long, coarse hatr. He lald his hand on the gun, but she cried softly: “Don't shoot; wa never kill porett- pines. They are the only food a man lost in the woods can get without a gun.” As they passed the log she raised the paddie and gave th nim: slap on the back, and {t lumbe: know, hi heavily along the log toward the shore. She held up the paddle for his inspection—the hard wood was stuck full of the sharp spines. But the morning #0 pleasantly passed was to end in disaster, When they were half way across Harrison's Lake on their homeward trip Doug- Jase fumbled in his pocket for his pipe, Just as he brought it out it slipped from hig hand. He made a grab for it, and in another instant they were both floundering in the water. His first thought was for the. irl, but she cried out to bim at once: “Don't try to come to me, I'm all right. Can you swim?” N “A little,” he gasped. “Are you sure you are safe “Perfectly; don't let the cance drift; you get in first.” He took @ few strokes toward the boat. It had righted itself, and he laid his hand on the side. It spun over like @ teetotum and he went under the water in, When he came to the surface Mary was at one % end of the cance holding it. “Now,” she said, “don't touch the aide; swim to end and lay your bands on it and jump astride.’ He did so easily and was in the boat in an instant, “Now I'll get the paddle,” she said —it had drifted to some distance; she Jet go the boat, and swimming easily on her side, recovered it and returned with it to the canoe. “Bit steady,” she sald, and epring- ing easily upon the end of the boat, alipped into her w Douglass looked, as he felt, cha- @rined and contrite.

The day after George left, Douglass was looking at the birch-bark pic- tures. which hung about the walls of the cabin. They were all good, but one of them attracted him especially, It was a picture of a lone brigand standing in a long sweep of roadway; he was muffled in # long cloak, his id arms were folded, his slouch hat drawn low on bis brow, and a black mask covered his face. “I think this is about the most eat. fefying brigand I have ever seem ¢ Dougiase said. ‘ “I was waiting to hear you expredy ome such opinion,” Harrison te- plied. “Do you know why It strikes you so?" ‘ pane atudied the picture a few he replied, “I cannot explain it “he ‘es a concelt of my own,” ‘Hass Fleon said, “and I will explain the secret.

In my Imagination I had paintad the monster in blood and car terrible voice t! roar of battle, ‘A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse’ iT conception and possibilities, excellent an I afterward knew them to be, were very tame compured with the picture T had conjured up.” Douglass laughed. “The same thing happened to me, and I suppose bap- pens to every man “Not to every man, but to every man of Imagination, I drew this pic- ture we have been commenting on for the express purpose of testing my theory; I am greatly gratified at the result.” On another occasion Douglass spoke of Kaufman and his rude simile of the chtpmunk and the corn. “He wag right,” Harrison said. “Perhaps the greatest error of the world to-day, and an error which Is particularly prevalent in our own country, is @ total misunderstanding of the uses of money. The man who accumulates an enormous fortune, past all reasonable limita, should be blamed and pitied, Inatead, he is locked up to and envied.
