upon my book. 
And now I did a most foolish and 
‘unwise thing. Because the firelight 
flickered and disturbed my reading I 
‘let down the tent flaps. Then, while 
I read, I dropped off to sleep. 
Morning came, and I awoke feel- 
ing strangely uncomfortable. My eyes 
opened hard, and I gazed stupidly at 
long strings of soot hanging from my 
tent canvas. My nostrils seemed 
clogged and there was a _ poisonous 
taste in my mouth. What on earth 
had happened! I jumped quickly from 
my blankets and as my hands pushed 
‘back the tent-flaps I noticed how grimy 
and gritty they felt. 
I stood out in the pure morning air, 
and Peter looked at me curiously. 
“Hello, Peter pony, why the curious 
look?” . 
» Peter shook his head non-commitally. 
“T must wash and freshen up a lit- 
tle,” said I, and taking soap and towel 
marched down to my spring. 
My first application of soap and 
water proved that my face was as 
black as if I had been doing a negro- 
minstrel turn. I rubbed and I 
‘scrubbed, but I seemed unable to get 
the grit out of my skin. (Indeed it 
‘was several days before my face felt 
‘smooth again.) 
_ “No more kerosene torches for me,” 
I vowed as I went back and dragged 
my begrimed belongings from the tent. 
I almost wept at the havoc that tin 
torch had created, for blankets, clothes 
and everything were covered with they 
gritty soot. I picked up the torch and 
flung it as far away as I could hurl it. 
However, youth is not easily downed 
by such small misfortunes, and by the 
‘time I had had breakfast and mounted 
Peter for the trip back to town, I was 
whistling blithely. 
Now 
fiddler 
that in 
sene torch, and this I lit, placing it 
just back of my head so that it shone

I’m not going to let the Scotch 
see this manuscript. I know 
some places my Scotch may be 
faulty: but I’m not going to change 
it. I’ve purposely omitted certain 
Seotch words and phrases to make the 
text intelligible. My fiddler friend, be- 
ing a realist, might take exception to 
this. If he should see it in print I 
know he’ll “twit” me about it: but— 
and I glory in this—McGregor didn’t 
find fault with my Scotch. And now|’ 
I must to bed before my landlady 
comes to find out why my light is still 
burning. It is almost one o’clock, a.m.

HE greatest Evinrude ever built — 
and that means the world’s finest 
outboard motor! 
Not built for speed alone, for power 
alone, nor just for lightness. Created, 
instead, to perfectly combine these 
three ideals. 
A revelation in eager power and 
smooth speed; an achievement in 
handy operation—quick to start, re- 
verses instantly, easily set for slowtroll- 
ing or racing speed to and from the 
fishing grounds. Light weight, too— 
yet not a single sacrifice of strength.

why more Evinrudes are in use 
than all other makes combined.
