My FRIEND said Wetherell. ''if we

what will happen to us2''
Bunker shivered so that the little
icicles on his grizzled beard seemed to
tinkle.

time" he said.
I'VE must come to one pretty soon."
said Wetherell. Look at the horses
They're nigh beat out" said Bunker
An som I. The wust of it is that in
this snow we may pass a dozen houses
of the road half the time. an in this re-
gion people build way back an don't
have no gate, but a pair of bars
A gradual descent helped the tired
team a bit, and then came another hill.
When they got to the top of it. Bunker
said, with decision and seemingly with
his last breath, There amt no such
Wetherell looked at the horses. They
stood with their legs quivering under
them; they seemed to be stricken not
only with exhaustion, but with a dull
terror. Upon the left side of the road
was a heavy growth of spruces. Weth-
erell scented out a practical way lead
ing into this grove and with great diff
fculty the horses were forced to drag
the sleigh under the trees. The shelter
there was considerable, and the weary
brutes seemed to feel some benefit from
it.
I'VE must give them a little rest
Wetherell explained. You'I1 all be
quite comfortable here while I go on
ahead to examine the road
Miss Hunt beckoned him to the side
of the sleigh.
do you mean to say that we are
lost?" she whispered.
He nodded.

his hand to Miss Hunt with boyish
gesture and felt absurdly pleased when
she returned the greeting
From the top of the hill extended a
level bit of road. but the snow was
wildly drifted, and the horses founder
ed in it.

plenty of snow afore. an more's fallin'

Another hill, worse than the first
blinked at them through the eddying
snow The horses stopped at the foot
of it without waiting for the rein. and
the two men prepared for another
climb. Miss Hunt declared herself able
to join them, and Wetherell was oblig-
ed to restrain her with gentle force
Standing beside the rude vehicle and
holding the girl in her place, Wethere1
was aware for the first time that she
was very pretty. She raised her veil to
plead with him more effectively, and In
so doing produced an impression even
stronger than she had foreseen. But
because of it the man was further than
ever from permitting her to climb the
hill afoot.
1t was hard pull. At the last of it

halt that they made and later at the
top of the ascent Wetherell heard Bun
ker murmuring: Curious darned
blarsted cur'ous don't understand
it,
WHATS curious ?'' he inquired at last.
Bunker stepped across in front of the
horses.
II don't seem to remember this HILL"
he said in a low voice.
Wetherell felt if he had been stab
bed with an icicle.
You don't mean to tell me that
there's any doubt about the road?'' he
demanded.
Bunker nervously adjusted the bath
towel that was tied around his head.

he said. Il amt the regular stage

Wetherel uttered half articulate

Won't. Ell? Well then, -don'ti I'm
bound you shall mind me one way or
the other
Bunker climbed to the seat of the
pung, evading Wetherells best attempt
to make him take the middle of the
seat. The lean steeds started the sleigh
with an effort that BODIED ill for the
speed of the journey Wetherell sub
sided into the high collar of his coat
and tried to summon up endurance A
conversation upon the subject of kin
dergartens must soon open. He felt 1t
in his bones. He wondered that Miss
Hunt, a schoolma am, could keep her
hands off the two little girls. Every
moment he feared that she would begin
to manage Lucy, and he foresaw the
most dire results. But Miss Hunt seem
ed to be unaware that there were any
children in her vicinity. Indeed she ig-
nored them with a perfect calm that
presently began to excite Wetherell's
establishment. Experience such as no
man can absolutely avoid had led him
to believe that all women must neces-
sariiy fuss with children when there
were any within reach. On the contra
ry, Miss Hunt did not even address the
mother except at the moment of start
ing, when she gave her a scarf to put
around her neck.
The silence on the front seat was
to talk to himself
On the edge of Lynde it began to
snow, and within three minutes the
shepherd of the clouds was shearing
the cold fleece from them with incredi-
BILE diligence A strong wind suddenly
arose and whirled the snow into the
faces of the travellers until they were
half smothered and more than half
blinded.
Wetherell looked sidewise over his
fur collar at Miss Hunt. The girl wore
a long black cloth coat, with a ffirnsy
silk handkerchief around her neck. She
had pulled it up over her ears, and a
veil protected her face to some extent,
but it was obvious that she was i'll pre-
pared for this ordeal. Her coat looked
thin, and the snow hung in the folds of
it,
Are you very cold?" asked weth-
erell.

day of judgment. Vague thoughts of
the people who were waiting for him in
the sled under the spruces reused him
just in time.
He sprang up and threw his weight
against the door. once, twice, and the
lock was ripped out of the wood. He
was in a broad hall quite pretentious in
its decorations A parlor was upon the
right, dining room beyond and a
kitchen at the rear Here he came first
upon signs of recent occupancy, and
the whole truth was apparent. This
was a summer residence that had been
in charge of caretakers who had gone
away probably for a Christmas visit.
Tor him and for the others it was
haven of safety, and he blessed the
man who built it.
No human creature is insensible to
the joy of bearing good tidings, espe-
cial4y when they relate to his own not
able success. Wetherell returned to the
spruces with something in his breast
that closely resembled light heart.
Miss Hunt he cried Il have found
a vacant palace in the adjoining pas
ture. offer you all the comforts of
home.''
It had been a solemn time in the
grove. Mrs. Williams, as Wetherell
afterward learned had displayed tai
ent for gloomy prophecy quite inappro-
pirate IN one SO rat ana nearly she
had pictured WethereH walking in cir
cles in the. snow until he dropped dead
just where he started, and she had
fortified the description with so many
narrowing anecdotes that the man had
the effect of a ghost when he appeared
But his news changed all that. 1t put
a new heart even into the horses and
they made a brave end of their days
work
The human freight and the baggage
appertaining thereto were discharged at
the front door of the house, and then
the horses and pung were put into the
barn. Wetherell and Bunker found the
others in the kitchen.
I've been looking around this place.
said Mrs. Williams. THE house is
pretty well found in the matter of gro
ceries. but there amt really nothing to
eat. I can make some bread, but that
amt very flling.''
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1901-12-21

He drew off his fur glove that he
might more readily find his cardcase,
whereupon the girl. mistal<ing his pur-
pose, gave him her warm, little silk
mittened hand.
You are Mr.. Wetherel, of course =
said she. and 1 am Miss Hunt We
may as well begin to get acquainted
The gentleman's reply was drowned
in the loud voice of the stout woman
who called from the door of the station,
demanding to know whether that
thing" was the Brantford stage. The
driver said, "Yes'm'' and measured the
front seat with a glance of his eye
II guess you and the youngsters Will

BY no means" exclaimed Wetheren,

were approaching with his trunk.

one? Harriet Williams? An your sis

Il think shall find it more comfort
able he rejoined. PLEASE let me try,
and if it isn't will tell you
BY the exercise of a very fine quality
of persuasion he induced her to put on
the fur lined coat, which enveloped her
from top to toe. Then he assisted Bun
ker to don the frock, the difference in
the size of the two men making it pos
sible for the driver to wear the garment
over his long yellow ulster. His ap-
pearance thus attired excited the loud
mirth of Mrs. Williams, who herself
looked even more ridiculous in the
hooded bathrobe.
A vast addition to the comfort of the
party had been effected except in the
case of Wetherell, who presently be-
gan to suffer acutely as a result of his
change of garments. He had insisted
upon taking the end of the seat, and
his left side was exposed to the full
force of the icy wind, while his right
which was next to Miss Hunt. was
moderately warm. In the course of ten
minutes he felt like two people, one of
them comfor ia BILE, even contented, and
the other freezing But he would not
admit to Miss Hunt that he was cold
He was ashamed to do it after his
thoughtlessness and her fortitude in
the early part of the ride.
They came to a short, steep hill, dim
ly visible through the snow, which was
then driving thickly, beyond anything
in Wetherelrs experience. Bunker pull
ed up his team.
Il reckon you an me II have to hoof
it," he said.
Wetheren slowly dropped out of the
pung. His left leg wouldn't walk at
all, and the right one was by no means
nimble. Yet there was the hill, and
there were the horses. obviously I'M
equal to the task of pulling the whole
load. WetherelI summoned all his
strength and made a start. Almost
immedia tely he was conscious of feel
ing better His blood began to stir.
There came to him a strange, youthful
sense of pleasure in this novel exertion,
this struggle against the storm. His
heart answered to many vague memo
ries of old days. He turned and waved

she. And your?
.'Oh, I'm all right" he replied This
coat of mine Do you know he said,
with a sudden thought. i've another
sovercoat in my. trunk Shall 1 get it
for you 2,
no. no., she exclaimed. Don't
think of opening your trunk here The
snow will drift in and spoil all your
things
He climbed over the back of the seat
and succeeded in getting the trunk
open, though his fingers nearly froze
upon the key and the metal of the lock.
1t was necessary to lift out the tray
and to put it into Mrs Williams lap,
for room in the back of the pung was
very scanty. With the penetrating eye
peculiar to her sex. Mrs. Williams per-
ceived some large bath towels.
If / could have one of them to put
over my head she said wistfully.
Certainly" replied Wetherell. Pass
them around. There ought to be
enough for all of us And | say, Mr..
Bunker, see if you can get into this
He tossed the driver frock coat,
such as used to be called a Prince AL
bert. The idea of Bunker's wearing it
amused him and suggested further pas
time of the same kind.
Mrs. Williams he continued, will
you so far honor me as to wear this?'
I'm that cold,' she responded, with
deadly seriousness, that Id wear any
thing except pants. My. amt this love-
ly? What is it?
We'll, it's a sort of a morning gar
ment,'' said Wetheren, holding up a
heavy bathrobe of silk and wool.
Wont the snow spoil it ?' she asked
but her solicitude did not prevent her
from eagerly thrusting her arms into
the sleeves as Wetherell, leaning across
the trunk tray, held the robe over her
back.
Here are a couple of coats for the
children he continued, tossing them
out And here's quite an assortment
of Gloves
He had found the overcoat at last,
and he laid it down in the bottom of
the pung while he replaced the tray
and closed the trunk. Then he removed
the fur lined coat.

exclaimed Miss Hunt. mo, positively

He put his lips close to her ear.
THE road won't do us any good" he
whispered. THE horses are done for.
What we must have is shelter-a house.

You will lose your way she said.
You will become exhausted and fall in
the snow
.and I'm afraid our friend Bunker has
very nearly reached his limit. So it's
up to me, as we say in New York.
His face, grotesquely framed in the
great towel. was rudy and looked
much younger than when she had first
seen him. Involuntarily she extended
her hands toward him.
That's right" he said. ssWish me
luck and never doubt that shall have
it. Why, what am I good for if can
not find a roof for you in the storm?''
Please be careful; be very, very
CAREFUL she called after him.
Outside the grove the wind seemed
fiercer than ever, and the snow more
dense. Wetherell fought his way along
the road, sustained far beyond the limit
of his physical strength by the deter
mination within him and the knowledge
of the utter dependence of the others
1t seemed a long distance that he
had traversed. but it was really not
more than 2607 yards, when he came to
a gateway opening upon the left He
was like starving beggar who finds a
coin upon the street, incredulous, fear
ing a hallucination. But the gate was
really there, and a roadway, dimly de-
fined, led round a clump of trees.
Wetherell ran leaping through the
snow, and presently he came to a large
house of a quality he certainly did not
expect to find in such a place.
There was veranda along the entire
front, but the snow was banked heavily
upon it and against the door, which
was locked. Yet SO great was Weth-
erells exhaustion of mind and senses
that it did not occur to him that the
house was deserted. He rang the bell
with confidence and sat down upon the
steps of the veranda in the lee of
post to wait for a response. And there
in the moment of safety he was as near
as possible to falling into a sleep,
which, considering the circumstances,
would probably have lasted until the
