and split kindlings for morning. and
locked up for the night. While Miss
Smith went up to look after her old
bedridden father, they sat together by
the fire, and somehow talk died away.
The old clock up on the chimney man
tel softly struck twelve In the silence.
Winifred looked up and smiled, her
head leaning back on the cushioned
top Of the old black rocker.
Happy New Year," she said. "Isn't
itthe queerest thing, our being way
up here miles from everyone we know,
and not knowing each other even, and
starting off the new year togetherT
Its great" Gregory clasped his
hands around one knee, seated on the
woodbox under the big Dutch oven.
I'm not superstltlous, but after ramb.
ling for year over there this seems
awfully much worth while. You know
I'd almost begun to think, If you won't
mind my saying SO, that there wasn't
anyone like you In the world"
Miss Smith hurried through the en-.
try way.
"Ira's back with a bigger team and
he's going to take you through all
right, he says. He drove over that
bad spot In the roads and broke 1t for
You. And he's telephoned to Mrs. Del.
mar that you're coming"
1t was nearly two when they reach
ed Windyheath. All of the windows
of the big country house were lighted
up. and Anne herself, wrapped In
wonderful velvet and fur housegown,
ran down the steps to meet them.
"Oh, my dear, my dear" she cried
when she had Winifred safely upstairs
in her room. "You poor childw

adventure of my whole life, and I'm In
love. agree with you and fate this
time"
But It isn't Gregory want you t.
meet" faltered Anne. you haven't
gone and fallen In love with dear old
Gregg"
Il have" Winifred laughed happily.
Both Of us have. never believed In
love at first sight before, or anything
like 1t, but I've made some wonderful
resolutions for the new year this
time"
Now listen to me and the whole
comedy. Anne curled up on the bed
confidentially. 1.-THE man you were to
marry is right down smoking with
Rolf this minute. He's Madison Forbes,
with money, position, everything, my
dear. But he didn't think you'd try
to make the trip such night, so I've
been phoning madly everywhere to
find out If you had arrived and where
Then would have tried to get to you.
We sent out car and II couldn't get
through, and the horses couldn't Ell
ther."
Don't worry" Winifred smiled at
her reflection In the triple mirror at
the dressing table. Il don't give rap
about the money or position or any
thing, Anna. We've been right out In
to the primitive world together, lost
In rne snow, and I'd 20 with him to
the ends Of the world II this blessed

Reverie Of the Old Year.

But listen! The old year is speaking.
''IIow strange thing Is the lngrati-
tude Of man" he says In slow, faitering
accents. "Man Is not satisfied with all
the benefits the year has bestowed
upon him, but must seoff at winter
and regard him as mortal foe.
Thus winter falls
A heavy gloom oppressive DER the world
Through Nature shedding influence ma

 in these columns some days ago. The writer says that the family. John Octuk, his wife and fifteen months old baby, met their death in an overflow about ten miles from the Igloo. A native found the bodies early New Year 8 morning, at which time they were pre- sumed to have been in the water about forty eight hours. Octuk's watch had stopped at the hour of 10:30, presum- ably on the morning of December 30, and the unfortunate trio evidently per- ished within about one and a half hours after leaving the Igloo on their way to Octuks summer home on Little Salt Lake The party had arrived with
