But Miss Rathbone remembered that while the elder man is tot ag- gressive be is vulnerable. During her trip abroad Miss Bath - bone met bachelors, but found them confirmed celibates. They seemed to her like wild horses that had never been broken to a bit or a saddle. Their' own comfort, their independence. were their gods. As for giving up any of their privileges, they had no such idea whatever. They were like the crow. which, utterly worthless for game. keeps carefully ,out of the huntsman's range. During a sojourn at Lake Como Miss Rathbone fell In with a widower, Ed- win Dudley. who was: not much her senior and whose - descent into the Avernus of bachelorhood had been averted by marriage. He had placed his only child, a boy, at school in Ge- neva and was taking a holiday in north- ern Italy, where at- the time the cli- mate was neither too - hot nor too cold. Mr. Dudley was staying at the same hotel as Miss Rathbone and first saw her one morning at breakfast on the stone balcony against which dashed iVffh//AV - 1 the waters of the lake. The situation; was propitious. Directly opposite rose a high mountain, looming up between the lake and the blue sky. To the right and to the left were cliffs and battlements Innumerable, some near at hand, some mellowed by distance, some a velvet green, some brown. some red. Miss Rathbone felt a moiety of that spirit of the beautiful that she had experienced in her younger days. As for Mr. Dudley, he looked at her with manifest interest. Americans abroad are very like a cir- cle of intimate acquaintances at home, with this difference -at home they are hedged about by innumerable con- ventionalities; abroad they have much of the bonhomie of the old, stage- coach days. Mr. Dudley had no diffi- culty in securing an introduction to Miss Rathbone, and he had scarcely; done so when he invited her to go out on the lake with him in one of those rowboats pulled by lusty' Italians the stern seats of which are supplied with cushions and canopies. During .this boat ride Mr. Dudley. perhaps following that disposition of Americans *abroad to feel on short ac- quaintance as if they had known each other for years, developed a familiar- ity which would be accorded only to an old acquaintance. He rallied the lady on not having mated, declaring that it must certainly have been her own _fault and wondering why she should prefer maidenhood, to matri- THE HAPPY HUNTING GROUND But the Game In Time Grows Scarce There • By F. A. MITCHFL TIVVVVIVVVVVOIVVIIVVVVITIFT• Miss Leila Rathbone was born a flirt -au unconscious flirt. She didn't know that she was flirting even when she was deliberately draWing some youth into her toils. Nevertheless she was not surprised when she' got him there. It did not occur to her that she had anything to do with his being there. All the other fellows got there Why not be? This commenced when Miss Rathbone was fourteen years old. -if not earlier -and lasted till she was double that age. The game was so plentiful that she had no idea that there would ever be a dearth of it. Miss Rathbone, as I hriVe said, began to bring down youths at a very early age and continued it as long as her heyday . lasted. Which, was about the same duration as that of most girls. She had a comfortable home, and it \WHAT A LITTLE FOOL I WAS tN THOSE DAYS!\ did not occur to her that' there was any reason why she should marry. What did she know of the waning ln terest in this world's affairs that conies to all who grow old. except In chi' dren-c hildr en of their own? At twenty she was at the summit of earthly contentment. The woods were as full of game as ever. At twenty- four there was a falling off, not in hem' attractiveness, but there were not as many men within range. At twenty- eight all the men seemed to have grown backward and were nothing but boys, white on looking in a mirror she saw unmistakable signs of changs in herself. The bud had fully opened. and the rose was beginning to pass beyond bloom. Meanwhile the fifteen years that had passed since she had begun to emerge from childhood had brought changes in . her surroundings. She was far more alone than she had been. Social af- fairs, even tennis and golf, had lost much of their charm. Those of her friends who had married had passed from her to their children. They were as glad as ever to meet her, but she realized that their little ones had taken her place in the hearts of their par- ents. She began to envy her friends the possession of their children. The parents were still young, and their off- spring were still childreu. Miss Rath - bone had not reached an age to under- stand the value of a grown, son or daughter to an old person. When Miss Rathbone was nearing thirty she was still an attractive wo- man. Having come to realize .whet she had missed. • or believed' she had missed, in uot having taken steps to build her own nest, she resolved to make bay • during the brief season when the sun would still shine. She remembered regretfully the superfluity of game within range during past years and recognized the fact that the woods for her had been pretty well cleaned out. As after civilization has encroached on hunting grounds sports- men must go farther for game, so did Miss Rathbone come to think that she must seek new fields. Spring was com- ing on, and she thought of summer re- sorts. But she knew that the only game to be found at such places are old men and boys. She had discovered that she bad passed the age when a college student had ceased to be some- thing for her to look up to. Travel next suggested itself to tr. When a young girt she had been more nearly caught in her own traps while touring in Europe than at any other time. She had found sightseeing in company with young men an admira- ble field for her flirtatious. And as for an ocean voyage, after the wearing off of mal de met., there -scented to be something about salt water to induce love. Miss Rathbone decided to join the hegira of those Sallitig for foreign ports the next season.. • Miss Rathbone joined a party of her acquaintances who were going to make a three months' tour of Europe. How changed were her eiretimilstalleeS from that Miss Ratbbone who had often bad May. To . this she replied evasively, but with becoming modesty, throwing the blame on the men. Mr. Dudley fleeted this for what it was worth, saying that he did not not' doubt if some wiz ard could by incantation gather togeth- er the men she had refused they would prove to be more numerous than fish In the lake on which they were riding. To this Miss Rathboue smiliugly de- murred and declared that she had nev - er had an offer.. \Nonsense!\ exclaimed the gentle man. -- Do you suppose that I am stu pld enough to believe that a wonake of your attractive personality has tier er received a proposal? I have mm. doubt that you have received hundreds of them.\ 1 3 'Weit, how are you going to prove yur assertion? A man refused by a woman will not tell about it.\ \There 'is only one who will do that.\ said Dudley after some moments oi• silence. \A man who has once beee refused and afterward accepted would be proud of his final success and would not be averse to letting it be known.\ \I don't see how that helps the mat ter so long aS I remain as I am.\ \Right you are,\ replied the other \Nevertheless you may some day yield to one of your old flames. If you mar ry I shall ask your husband if he Wils not refused by you before his final se ceptance.\ \You are quite welcome to do thatt,• replied Miss Rathbone, \but it seem , to me rather improbable that poi should have the opportunity since the companions of my youth who are liv trig are married.\ \So be it, but take care lest I prove my assertion.\ In extreme youth the sexes mate. they know not why. In later life they know very well why. They feel the need of companionship and a home. A man cannot make a home without a Woman, and an old maid's home is at best cheerless. Mr. Dudley was look lug for a wife just as elgerly as Nils: Rathbone was looking ror a husband He proposed to her. and she accepted him. \And now,\ he said, \I can prove to you that you maligned thenien when • you said that it was theft' fault that you had not married. I have found S man who is willing to admit that he has been refused by you.\ \Indeed!\ said the lady, surprised. \And who may that be?\ \Myself.\ Miss Itathbone's eyes opened very wide. \Don't you remember a scene on the terrace at B. when a boy of twenty told a Ines of eighteen that he loved her.\ \Are you Ned Dudley?\ \I am.\ There was a silence, at the end 'of which Miss Rathbone said: \What a - little fool I was in those days!\ \A fool to refuse me?\ \Yes; you :and a legion otothers.\ 4** • A.4-• MIRAFLO • LOCKS ,!

Canadian \Alligators.\ The unsophisticated visitor to the lumber districts of Canada may occa- sionally see what is to him a very re- markable sight, a primitive looking steamboat high and dry on a road, crawling along quite comfortably, ap- parently just as much at home as in Its natural element. These boats are known as \alligators and are used for towing the rafts of logs down the rivers and lakes to the mills, says the Wide World Magazine. Sometimes it is deetred to transfer one of these craft to a new sphere of operations which can only be reached overland, and the boat Is then - hauled out of the water, pieced upon rollers - and travels to its destination by menus of its own power.
