We didn't have any more wind left, anyway. As we sat there panting I tried to rack my brain as to where I had been in a similar situation. At last I remembered it. It was in a sum- mer amusement park years ago. There had been a depression in the floor of one of the concessions called the "Soup Bowl," out of ‘which it was very dimeult to extricate your- self after you had once got in. There was a trick about it-the trick was the only way you could ever get out. Thursday, June 27, 1929 "keep a little bit to one side," I told' Hemmingway, and wondering, but docile, he obeyed. . I racked my brains to remember that trick. At last I did. _ . I ran up. the "side of til“? liitrv1'as far as I could and then turned and Eucstrtrieht_do3egt, gggigngggngg P1t the other side. I repeated Tm; 13rd: cess several times, the impetus car- rying me higher each tfifte, until at last by a supreme effort I scrambled over the edge into snow that was only moderately deep.' . A few moments later, Hemmingway worked the same trick. After we had put on our skis and snowshoes we started otr once more. F . "We were theie so long,? I said, "that/we have probably missed the train." " _ . ."I suppose so," Hemmingway as- sented gloomingly. "But there will be anotber traGhsome time, I guess, and if we hurry Me may be there' before it goes." - "a a little doubtful about our directions; but as soon as we emerged we found the sun again and headed in that general direction, bearing a little to the left as before. ' _ So we pushed on. We had. been traveling in the woods, sdAwe’were I was getting hungry, but Hem- mingway vetoed the idea of stopping at a farmhouse for lunch because, as he suggeSted, we eouWprotmb1y get a better meal in town. He thought we must be almost there, as we had beep traveling quite a while before We found the soup-bowl, and it was only about eight miles all told. So we pushed fun.» A the top of every hill we expected to get our first glimpse of Fair Oaks, but every time we were disappointed. It seemed incredible that we‘had not come eight miles. ‘We had beep walk.. ing for hours and were an worn out. Still we were headed in the right direction, due east, toward the Bun. It was only when the sun set that we realized our blunder. While 'we had been in the soup-bowl the sun had passed overhead; and when we had taken our bearings again after com- ing-out, we must have headed south- west when we went toward the sun and a little left. It was absurdly simply when we fame to think about it, but I doubt if any one not trained in woodcraft would haste done differ- ently than we: _ We had been going ever since noon in exactly the opposite direction; and by this time were three or four' hours' trivelintr from Pair Odie! .(Continued from preceding pugs) Jingle Bélls (Contiitued Next Week) Coroner, Urges Care to Avert Big Death Toll During Summer A plea for the eo-operation of all citizens of Lake 'county in avoid- ing the usual summer tragedies, death by drowning or automobile accidents, was made by Dr. J; L.
