 The sick woman, lying on the bed in the little pioneer cabin, looked at the white whirl of flakes that shut out all but the gray daylight from the little windows and shuddered. Yes, there was plenty of snow. You could not see even the dimmest outline of any thing that was ten feet away. And somewhere out in the snow-she knew not where-her husband was journey ing. Three weeks ago he had start ed to the nearest town 60 miles away for supplies. He had been sure that he would return in week Was he lying now under one of those huge white drifts?

She brought in 8 great supply of fuel and made every. thing outdoors and in as snug and cheery as possible.
