After supper they retired to the par
Tor, piled the fire high and sat

and cigarettes lying about their heads
IN white layers. 1t was but natural
that the conversation should turn on
stories OF the great storms OF the past.
| Rose had heard many such before, but
! tonight, with the wind rocking the
old hotel and the thought Of the lost
man heavy at her hesrt, she listened,
| held in a cold clutch of fascinated
attention, to tales of the emigrants
caught in the passes OF the Sierra, of
pioneer mining-camps relieved by
mule trains which broke through the
snow blockade as the miners lay dying
! in their huts, of men risking their
| lives TO carry succor to comrades lost
in their passage from camp to camp
on just such a night as this.
The clock hand passed ten, and the
! periods of silence that at intervals had
| fallen on the watchers grew longer
and more frequent, and finally merged
| into a stiffness where all sat motion
| less, listening to the storm.
1t was nearly eleven, and for fifteen
minutes no one had spoken a word.
| Two of the dogs had come in and lain
down on the hearth-rug, their noses
on their paws, their eyes fixed bright
ly and ponderingly on the fire. In
the midst of the motionless semicircle
one of them "uddenly raised its head,
it's ears pricked. With its muzzle ele-

started and drew herself up. eXclaim-

bells, faint as q noise in a dream,
came through the night.
In a moment the lower floor was
shaken with movement and noise. The
bar emptied itself On to the porch and
the hall doors were thrown wide.
The sleigh had been close to the no.
tel before its bells were heard, and al
most Immediately its shape emerged
from the swirling Wilderness and drew
up at the steps. Rose. standing back
in the parlor doorway, heard clamor
of voices, a rising surge of sound from

and answers, now clear and sharp, fol-
lowed them, like notes upon the text
of the inert form:
"Where'd you get him?'
About five miles below on the
main road. One of the horses almost
stepped on him. He was right in the
path, but he was all sprinkled over
with snow"
He's not dead, is he?"
Pretty near, guess. We've pumped
whisky into him, but he amt shown a
sign of life"
who is he?"
Search me. I amt seen him my
self yet. Just as we got him the Ian
tern went out"
There was n sofa in the hall and
they laid their burden there, the
crowd edging in on them, Mortified, in
terested, hungrily peering. Rose
could see their bent, expressive backs
and the craning napes Of their necks.
Then a sharp order from the doctor
drove them back, sheepish, training
on one another's toes, punched
against the wall and still avidly star.

head down and making the stifled

more pronounced than before, said:

She lifted her head and looked al
him with eyes narrowed to Sits, muir

pathetic for words"
"If it's pathetic. Why do YOU laugh?'
he said, laughing himself, he did not
know why.
She made no immediate reply and
he looked at her, languidly interested
and admiring. For the first time he
realized that she was n pretty girl

fused with pink.

She smiled indulgently at him az
though he were a sick child.
Il should think you wouldn't have

when you were so bad the doctor had
the greatest difficulty in keeping men
out who didn't know you and had
never seen you. Everybody in the
hotel wanted to crowd IN"
What did they want to do that
for?"
ITO see you. We were the sen.

There wasn't anything so desper-
ately dangerous about it," he said, al
most in tone of sulky protest.
"The men downstairs seemed to
think so. They say nobody could
have got up here in such storm"
"Oh. rubbish! Besides, it wasn't

curious expression of cold, enforced
