we tackled the baked beans, and they
tasted like Neapolitan ice cream. Then
we felt like working. But l was feel
ing pretty serious. because l knew that
Arabclla was beginning to worry. How
ever, | fell to with good will. and aft
er two hours of hard work we met in
the snow tunnel, the minister and me,
and a minute aftcrWard we walked
out TO open air and saw the strangest
sight that could be imagined.
North as far as the eye could reach
the country lay covered 80 feet deep
with an arctic snowfall. South of us
the grass was just beginning to show
green. and skunk cabbages were al
ready pushing up through the earth.
And in front of us stood the parsons
lonely house. with a box of a church
next door to it ana not another build

able to get back to Laramie.

THE three of us instinctively Owed
into the snow. Then we heard a muf-

was all over. Just to make sure. we
lay in the snow for few minutes. and
then we crept out. Such scene as
met our gaze! The church and the par
sons house were the only movable
things that hadn't moved. Trees were
levcled on all sides. and the plains in
front of us were full of debris from va
rous states.
Just in front of me were half a hun
dred crates Of eggs. whipped to an ON
clet by the wind: bunch of bananas.
