Mr. Andersen opened the front deer (It
was never kept locked) nnd walked Inte
the beuse.
"I thought you weren't coming," 1
said. "I've been ready ever be long.
He shut the deer behind him. He
looked n little worried, I thought.
"My cousin is coining with us," be
said. "I hope you don't, mind; she
said she would like te come."
He waited, nnd I reused my&clf with
nn effort te say :
"Hew jelly! Of course, I don't mind.
"Where Is she? Won't she come in?"
"She said she would wait outside In
the trap. Shall we go, If you are
ready?"
"Vcs. I'll just get the sandwiches."
I went into the kitchen.
"Mr. Andersen has brought bis
cousin." I told Mrs. Alberry. "Se I've

that be had followed me nnd was stand

"Net often." I admitted.
T twisted free of the band he had
laid en my arm nnd went out into the
read.
Nina Riley was perched up in the
front seat, which bad blthete always
been my place, and I -was nasty
enough te be secretly pleased because
she looked cold and the Up of her nese
was red.
We shook hands, nnd I said what a
levelv morning it wns.
"It's very cold," bhe said, and
shivered.
I scrambled up into the back sent
of the trap, and Mr. Andersen brought
a rug and wrapped It round me.
His fnce looked grim, nnd be made
a comical little grimace of clingrin when
our ees met.
"We're net going te enjoy ourselves
a bit," I thought, as we started away;
ami I wns riRht.
I think three is nlwnys an Impes.
slide number, because- no matter hew
hard the ether two may try te prevent
it, ene is always bound te feel out of
things, and today, te my mortification,
I wns once again the ene unwanted.
Nina could net sknte nt all well well
net nearly se well as I could in spite
(if the fact that she had been learning
for years and I had only tried for the
first time a week age.
She was very nervous, tee, nnd would
net let Mr. Andersen leave her for a
moment.
I don't knew if he renllv enjeved
helping her. He didn't leek uarticu-
larly happy anyway, and I get se tired
of waiting for them, nnd se cold stand
ing about that at last I went "off en my
own account.
"Don't go far." Mr. Andersen culled
after me. "And keep away from the
left bank it's mere sheltered there,
and is thawing a little "
"If I fall in, I shall expect jeu te
pull me out," I answered tartly.
Nmn had spoiled ever thing! Tester
duv Mr. Andersen nnd I had such n
levelv time tegether: It was wonder
ful hew much mure easily I could get
along when he held my hands, nnd
he had premised that today he would
show me hew te cut n figure.
'1 liere were net ninny people en the
Ice besides ourselves, only n few bejs
from the Ullage, nnd before I hftd
gene far I found mjself almost alone.
I stepped, balancing mvself unsteadily
en my skates, and looked bach. Mr".
Andersen and Nina weie a long way
off. nnd n sudden depiesscil sense '(
unwiintedness stele out me.
He need net have stajed with bis
cousin unless he had wished te, I
thought, and Mrs, Alberrj's words came
hack te me fraught with a new sig
nificance. AVcre they lenlly going fe be mnr
iled? Nina was quite pietty, much
erertier tbnn I could etcr hope te be,
anil a feeling of jealousy touched me
is I went slowly en ngniii.
W.is I ;iewr te have u friend all te

Andersen as mj own special ptepcrty
during the lut week.
lie hud hardl, ever spoken of his
leusin, ami I had leld him n great deal
iiliinil in v home and mv people, and he
had seeinul erj id ii 1 1 1 Inteiested I
wished new I had liei-u les ciiininuui
aiiM'. i uiaile up m mind th;it te
morrew1 I would refuse te go out with
!i!m at nil, nnd that If he ( ailed at the
farm 1 would nyt see 1 1 lit) i
I felt tiled. The sun was shining as,
luiglitl.x ami warmly as it had done ,es
ti'idiij, but cei".thiiig seemed te have!
changed In some uniicceuiitalile man
ner, and 1 made up m, mind that I
would lake off m skates and walk
home across the fields without going
ba k te the ethers at all.
Kei get fill of Mr. Andersen's warning,
I had turned toward the left bank
when 1 heard some one shouting.
I looked round ever my shoulder nnd
saw Mr. Andersen II) lug along toward
me alone new.
Het indignation rose In my heart,
lie could have come before if he had
really wished te be with me, I told my
self. I was net going te wait for him,
and I struck out mere rapidly for the
bank.
lie shouted again, nnd suddenly I re
inembeicd bis warning.
CHAPTER XI
Death Threatens ami Loe Calls
I tiied te step, but 1 was net suf
fieiently epcit te be able te pull up
quickly without overbalancing invself,
and my ankle turned shurply and 'flung
urn down.
I did nn best te scramble up, but
eu'iy olio knows hew difficult it is te
de se en skates without help, und then,
te my honor, I suw that the ice nreund
me was spreading into n star, like the
mark a small stone makes when It
menus a winnow, ami l iieurd a slew
tracking sound.
I knew what
mid I screamed :
"Mr. Andersen Mr. Andersen!''
lie shouted something in reply, hut
he was tee far away te save me. and
the next moment I was struggling in
the Icy water.
