On and on, up and up they toiled
the snow falling faster and faster, the

mile, two miles. By that time the
snow blinded them an, ut for the

couldn't talk except to urge the burros
on. The wind took their breath.
I'VE won't be Christmas presents.
I'm afraid" sobbed Nina, through
chattering teeth.
Say your prayers" suggested moth
er, "it is all we can do now"
They had long since dropped the
reins and trusted the burros to choose
their own way. Mother recalled story
after story of men who had persisted
on those mountain trails and she
blamed herself for ever attempting
such a journey. Suddenly a welcome
sight appeared before the struggling
travellers.
The lights of Mr.. Deans cabin"
exclaimed Nina. "Oh, mother! We
have reached Mr. Deans ranch and
we're still alive! Tomorrow well
see father!"
A funny thing then happened. Both
burros began TO bray. Mother and
Nina laughed and cried at the sound.
Instantly the signal was answered.
Robert Dean flung open the cabin
door and in flood of light beheld his
visitors.
We'll, well, WELL" he exclaimed.
Who told you that we're having a
Christmas dinner here this evening,

removing her wraps

"Oh, how glad everybody isl" the
