The Chase.

Hamlin never forgot those two days
and nights Of waiting. while tt" srnr"

drifting snow made any dream of ad-

to patience, the delay left marks in
his face, and his nerves throbbed with
pain. His mind was with her con-

sleep, picturing her condition unshel-

allies. II he could only reach them,

incidentally awakening a love for the

been swept clear. The slipperiness OF
the incline made their progress slow
ias they dared not risk the breaking O
a horses leg in that wilderness, and
the faint glimmer was most confusing.
The wind had ceased. the calm was
after the wild tumult, but
The cold seemed to strengthen as the
dawn advanced, viciously biting the
exposed faces OF the men. The strain

soon as there's change in weather,

Thet's my guess, mister"
Hamlin turned the situation over
deliberately in his mind, satisfied that
Hughes had reviewed the possibilities
correctly. If LIE Feyre's party had got
through at all, then that was the most
likely spot for them to be hidingSin.
They would have drifted beyond
doubt, farther than Hughes supposed,
probably, as he had been sheltered
from the real violence of the wind as
it ragged on the open plain. They
might be fifteen. even twenty miles
away, and so completely drifted in az

accident. What course then was best
to pursue? The storm was likely to
continue violent for a day, perhaps
two days longer. His horses were ex-
hausted, and Carroll helpless. 1t
might not even be safe to leave the
latter alone. Yet If the frozen man
could be left in the hut to take care
OF himself and the ponies, would there
be any hope Of success In an effort to
proceed up the river on foot? He
could make Hughes go-that wasn't
the difficulty-but probably they
couldn't cover five miles a day through
the snowdrifts. And, even II they
did succeed in getting through In time

Carroll, supporting himself by the

watched them. reckless as to the en-
