More experienced than the boy, all

She did not pray, she could ask moth

AS for her companion, he did not

GRAFTON. He kept going toward the
south to the railroad station because
that was the only thing to be done.
Another, however, rode with him, if
not with her. Before his eyes was
ever present that CORY, grizzly spec
tacle of human form, the red blood
yelling from its breast, redder still
from the white snow with which he
was surrounded That awful figure
beckoned him on. He was younger,
timer, better, than she. He was more
fool than knave: she was all knave.
Her thoughts went forward to what
was before her; but his went back
ward to what was behind.
After long time it seemed to them
that the fierceness Of the storm was
somewhat abated. The wind was GER
tainly falling; but the drifts were
steadily rising, and their progress
was more difficult every moment for
that cause. Their very souls were
numb with the awful cold Still they
went forward, slower now, and more
slowly ever.
How far they had come, what time
1T was. where they were, neither he
! nor she could tell 1t seemed to them
both that they had been hours on the
way. The woman was sure that they
must have comprised the greater part
OF the journey, when her horse sud

cho's matchless endurance had at last
| been exhausted by the terrible strug-
gle of their journey. He lay dying
where he fell, and nothing she could
do could get him up again. The boy
had stopped, Of course, when her horse
| had fallen. He had dismounted and
helped her to rise. He had assisted
her vain efforts to get her own played
out horse on its feet. The two now

harder for the remaining horse. The
woman Immediately realized that with
this almost dead weight plunging

heavily at the stirrup leather, the
remaining bronco would soon be ex-
hausted.
She had meant to play fair with
him but 1t could not be. And SO for

The Storm Without.

The Storm Without.
The woman's first thought when she
stepped outside the door was that at
all hazards they must go back. The
wind almost swept her away: only the
steadying grasp of the boy, better pre-
pared than she for the attack of the
storm, enabled her to keep her feet.
Yet the presence of that CHASTITY thing
on the floor which was affecting even
her iron nerve, prevented their return
Whatever happened they must go on!
The door of that shelter was closed
to them forever by the dead or dying
tenant. She realized however, that
their chances of escaping freezing to
death in this mad endeavor were so
small as to be practically none. Well,
fate had forced her into this position
She would follow the path she had
chosen, whatever might be at the end
of the way.
Speech was well nigh impossible.
The boy staggered on past the win
dow, and she followed until the lee
of the house was reached. Between
a great drift and the wall, in little
open space the horses were tied.

yet chilled by the fierce cola, they
united the shivering, reluctant, terri
fed horses from the wooden pins driv-
en- into the chinks between the log
walls of the house to which they had
been hitcheG, mounted them, and
threading their way round the drift
started southwark on their awful ride.
They left death behind them-and lo!
death doomed before and on either
hand.
Except where the storm was broken
by houses, drifts had not yet formed.
The wind was too terrific; 1t swept
the level prairie clean. But away
from the shelter of the house they got
the full force OF it, Although thooJy-
were thickly clad in wool and fur. the
pressure OF the storm drove their gar
ments against their bodies, and soon
filed them with icy cold. There was
no help for it, no relief from it. They
had to bear 1t. They could only bend
their backs to it and keep on, trust.
ing to the endurance of their horses.
The woman judged that 1t had been
about one in the morning when they
had started. The Overland Limited
ran through the station at three. No
horses that lived could have made
that is miles In two hours under those
conditions. 1t was more than prob
able. however, that the limited would
be greatly delayed by the storm. and
If they kept going steadily they would
be likely to catch 1t. At any rate
when they reached the station, they
would find food, fire and shelter.
