The wind blew, and the snow fell in little whirls, yet a lone little woman braved the cold and storm to walk along the beach. The houses were near at hand. She was in no danger, perhaps, yet it was an odd place for a promenade at that hour.
 The little woman walked slowly, pausing now and then to look at the breakers as they rolled up, rattling the shore ice musically. and then flowing back again into the lake, She started at the sound of foot steps and fled lightly toward the near est house.
 "Alice."
 She stopped instantly and stood poised like a bird ready for flight until he came up with her.
 You" she calculated.
 You" he exclaimed.

 But to-day?"

 This time she turned. She really took one step.

 She paused and looked at him tim idly.
