Before quitting the ambulance and its
precious freight Ellis had made such ex-
animation Of the neighborhood as was
possible in the thick darkness, and dis
covered that they were close to the edge
of narrow, winding ravine with alb
ruptly sloping banks, and it was in here
that those sagacious mules mad sought
shelter from the force of the blast. The
ambulance was standing ON yeritable
ridge, exposed to the full fury of the
gale, the slope to the rapid running
Wolf just in front. the ravine TO the
right rear. Shouting to the ladies to
fear nothing, he had no difficulty. when
aided by the driver, in starting the
wheels. and the instant the vehicle was
partially turned into the track of the
storm it was blown backward down into
the soft bed Of snow, already thick and
deep. Here. under the lee of the banks,
the stout wagon was comparatively shell
tered, for the top Of the canvas cover
was just trife below the general level
of the prairie. The mules, startled from
their fancied security by the rattle Of
wheels and canvas as the ambulance
was run down the slope into their midst,
seized with one Of their unaccountable
panics tore blindly away mp the farther
bank and ont upon the storm swept
level beyond.
Then in the whirling cloud of snow
Ellis had remounted, shouted again
few encouraging words to the ladies
within. assuring them he and his sturdy
troop horse would have no difficulty in
reaching camp and bringing aid, urging
them meantime to keep snugly bundled
in their robes, and with Mrs. Berrien's
brave voice and CHEEKY "Gvd speed you,
sergeant ringing in his ears, he rode
calamity away, forded the shallow
stream at the mouth Of the coulee and
then. facing the gale. spurred forth upon
his perilous mission. The driver and
the already somnolent Pete. with what
was left OF the contents of the depleted
flask. crawled into the snowbed beneath
the wagon body. rolled themselves into
their joint stock Of robes and blankets
and prepared to spend a comfortable
night. It Wa an old story to both.
But. despite all the drivers efforts on
the way. the gale had forced them far
to the right Of the main road and those
which paralleled it. the only ones at all

had led him to yield his better Judgment
to her Importantly. Somewhere about
nine o'clock one of the outriders had
been dragged off his horse more dead
than alive and told pitiful tale Of hay-
ing been driven before the storm, and
he didn't even know how far they had
got before he lost sight of the ambu-
lance entirely, but was sure that one
and all they had lost the road and now
were adrift on the prairie. This was
bad enough: but at ten o'clock or there
about the corral master came in to say
that the riderless horse of the other man
had just arrived at the gate and, barely
able to stagger. was led inside.
Pete had flask along" said the cor
raj master sententiously. That's whats
the matter with him.
Then Sterrett could stand it no longer
Soldiers there were none to send-they
were all over the range, at the canton
ment or beyond; civilians were there in
plenty, dozens of refugees from the
ranches. dozens of railroad men and
train hands. one or two disguised CORE
spondents who had got the "trip" as to
impending movements all too late to
catch the luckier members of that all
pervading fraternity but who were quick
to realize the scoop they would have
in transmitting to their respective jour
mails full and picturesque details of the
Dakota blizzard. 1t is an i'll wind that
blows nobody good.
Even though every one told him he
could accomplish nothing whatever be-
fore daylight. Sterrett had little party
of stalwart frontiersInen duly equipped
by midnight and ready to start .he in
slant the gale should show signs of mod
Grating. Hour after hour Il shlieked
and howled. driving the sheets of snow
before it. sweeping the frozen prairie
clean as floor, but whirling dense white
clouds into every sheltered gulch and
ravine, settling the drifts IN The lee of
every stack and shed and bui.,ling at the
railway station where, dead" and aban-
doned. lay the engine of the castbound
train, the passengers budding for
warmth into a single car and cheerfully
discussing the prop-iety of using the
other for firewood.
And then, before the first faint glimmer
of dawn. rs though spent with is own vio-
lence, the gale began 10 die. Tho clouds
scudding southeastward drew aside, I'M
cutaining the placid heavens, where
the stars were family cleaning and then
twinkling out of sight. Soon in a blaze
of glory and triumph the sun rose slowly |
over the far distant bluffs and looked
down upon the scene of wrath and DESC
lation wrought by rude Boreas in the
absence; and just then, too,
there hove in sight battered little squad
Of troopers on spent and jaded steeds,
and the sergeant in command rode breast
deep into the drift at the south entrance
Of Sterrett's Office and yelled over the in
tervening shieid of snow the stunning
question:
