He saw it and redoubled his efforts to get out of range. With fiendish perversity the'skis turned also. I was almost upon him! He made a supreme effort-and stumbled. I shut my eyes. (Continued Next Week) He was blithely unconscious that I was overtaking him. He is a large man and so am I. The result of an impact was terrible to contemplate. Horror of horrors, my runners, which had hitherto glided straight, as if on rails, now swerved sharply to one side in the direction which he was going! The speed, increased. I looked about for some way of slowing up. There seemed to be no brake. It appeared inadvisable to turn sideways as one does on skates in order to stop. Even as I thought, my pace accelerated to such a degree that I abandoned all idea. of (icing anything, but pray. A? Intuition made him turn around. He must have read in my eyes that I had lost control because he started to scramble hlsti,ly out of my way. I tried to cry out to him, but my voice left my dry throat as only a harsh crackle. The only word I could think of was "Fore!" It was an exhilarating sensation and very restful. I was suddenly glad that I had skis instead of snowshoes. I had been envying Hemmingway the superior traveling qualities of his equipment, but now I could see that the advantage was going to be all my way. While he walked down the hills I would be sliding gracefully and rest- ing myself for the climb up the next one. Wrapped in pleasant intros, I had scarcely noticed that my was increasing a little. Now a difficulty in balancing called I tention to it. I leaned forward a trifle to 1 my equilibrium. As I did so I a sharp swishing sound as the ri glided swiftly over the snow. The speed, increased.

I tried to steer in some other direction. It was no use. I flew toward him as a filing to a magnet, - I gained the summit. It was not very high, but afforded an excellent view of the country. Under the snow it was beautiful. A group of fir trees over at the right with branches borne down with a tremendous load of white was a graceful picture. 'Come on," yelled Hemmingway, half way down the hill. "We have to catch that train!" I wrenched myself away from my contemplation of the beauties of na- ture and considered the matter of pro- gressing further. I started to walk after him. Soon I was relieved of, the necessity of effort. The gentle grade was enough to cause me to slide over the surface of the snow. On the few occasions when I de- flected them from the outward angle they turned the other way and I got my runners crossed. "If you’re trying to make me laugh," said Mr. Hemmingway sar- castically, as I got up and dug the snow out of my eyes and ears, "you may as well give up. I'm not in the humor for it." I made it somehow, but Hemming- way on snowshoes beat me to the crest by several minutes. He waited there until I got nearly to the top and then he started down the other side. behind I was able to keep still, thank Heaven, although it would have given me great pleasure to have swatted him with the flat side of a ski. My egotism melted away when we came to the first rise. It was a gentle slope, but I found it very difficult to climb. I had to tack or else I found myself_ slipping backwards. The country round about was slop- ing. This is ideal ground, they tell me, for ski running. It was fairly level from the Old Soldiers' Home, how.. ever, for a distance of several blocks. I tried dismounting from the skis, but found that the snow was up near- ly to my waist and well-night impos- sib}e to,flymder _through, A I was glad of that because it gave me an opportunity to sort of find my ski legs.
