Iv. "Put down your head or I'll take you on'my lap and Jake jou put your arms amound m ,' the man threatened, in heaven's name, got over the idea that you're the one abused. We're in a tight place, and I'm doing the best I can to get us out. But the fuss if you should be found in my arms would be nothing to the celebration if I should be found frozen in your arms. The darling lit- tle fire-eater! Yes, I'd much better be dead when Belle hears of it!" "You mean that Hiram wouldn't care--if I were--1?7" "Of course your Hiram would care ~--in his way. But not in Belle's way." There was silence for what seemed a long time. Finally Ruth was obliged to speak. "The water runs down your face and just drenches me!" she complain- ed. "That's gratitude!' was his ironical comment. "Instead of thanking me! for warming up this water which reaches me first, mind you, you're peeved that you get it at all. I'm afraid you're no sport, Miss Goodnow." "I"don't care to be a sport" she answered back like a child. Childishly, | too, she was close to tears. "Well, if you don't like this, climb, into my lap, little one." He spoke be- tween his teeth. "Double weight will! be blissful on a soft stone cushion like this under me." | Detesting him as she had never be- fore detested anybody in her whole placid life, she was still glad to obey. She was numb to the knees and he had almost to lift her to his lap. "Put your arms around my neck-- tight" He wrapped his arms about her--tight. Ruth remembered the story o° the lovers bound breast to breast and thrown into a river. She appreciated now the flendish penetration of the punishment. It bad become quite dark, and the splashing of the water, multiplied by the cavernous recesses, was the only sound. "I'm nearly starved!" whimpered at " She could feel the man shake with suppressed laughter, ! the girl "Well, blubber is perfectly Food arctic food," he chuckled, "and I'll bet you could supply us both." ° Ruth 'had felt herself pretty brave up to that point. And this coarse creature on Whose lap she sat, freez- ing, hed scoffed at her first sign of weakness as "bl ing." But. she choked back her anger with her tears. Again there was a long interval in which they heard only the rush and echo of the water. "Doesn't it seem after dinner-time to you?" he asked. "It seems like day after to-morrow to me," she replied forlornly. "If it were day after to-morrow it would still be to-day." He seemed to be going out of his way to be dis- agreeable. "I fancy it's about nine o'clock. Time to take my own rescue | measures." Ruth sat up and looked at him. She could not gee him, but one couldn't ask a vital question burrowed in a man's neck, "You mean you can do anything?" "Possibly, It will be pretty ay on you and on me, so I didn't want to try jit except as a last resort.. But this is the last resort--the last resort I ought to have come to for a holiday, eh? Holiday!" he groaned. "I'll take jail for choice, next time. But we ought [fo do"our darnedest for the sake of Belle and Hiram. Can you stand up?" She felt for a footing among the stones, wondering dully at the manner of man that could pun in the closed jaws of a glacier. The pull of water told her that she had thrust her foot into one of the many trickling brooks, but her foot was too numb to feel the water. She tried again, and would have fallen except for Hastings' arms. His voice showed his anxiety. "Phew, I hope I haven't waited too long! Belle is always fitter than I at the end of a jaunt, and I judge other women by her. Back to the stone pile for you" He lifted her to it, and she managed with his help to adjust herself as he prescribed. "Sit on one head, put your fect on the other.

There is no mystery about paper- hanging, An amateur can do the work as well-as a professional. This saves a good deal of money, for rooms can be papered very cheaply if you do not have to pay for the labor, and nothing brightens a house mere than well-chosen wall paper. Before selecting your paper it is of course necessary to measure the walls so that you can buy just what is need- ed, with perhaps a little extra for future repairs. A double roll of wall paper containg 70 square feet; a single roll half this amount. ¥ ..A wall that has never been papered should first be covered with 'a good size, otherwise the paper will peel off. This is made by adding six quarts of hot water to one-half pound of glue which has been softened by standing all night covered with cold water. Walls that have been painted should be gone over with ammonia water-- one part ammonia to six parts water. Cover board ceilings with cloth be- ¥ yO ART Wv J] stirred, for the color settles when standing, and unless it is stirred 'the color of the paint at the top will be several degrees lighter than that at the bottom of the can.' Put the first coat on lightly, wait until it is dry, and then add the final coat. Never paint unless the air is warm and dry. If the day is fine, have the windows and doors open, so that a current of air will dry the paint. For the ceilings & coat of milk whitewash or quicklime whitewash is a splendid finish. It can be tinted or used dead white, the latter being so soft and leas ut it is generally considered to be better than the tinted whitewash, The surface to be treated should be free from dust, and if there are any cracks in the plaster fill them in. The plaster should be sifted into a bowl, and then mired with cold water until it' is about the substance of very soft dough. - This is easily worked into the crevices with 'a small trowel or a knife blade, either of which should be dipped in cold water, So that the plaster will not stick.
