the way, Olive Mills began to
VI wonder if she were. after all,
4 doing the thing that was best
for her. Somehow as the
familiar scenes amid which she had
passed her life began to move away
from her as the rocking old local
pounded up the grade, the excitement
that had upheld her during the last
week subsided and left her cold and
calm. With a queer feeling of having
subscribed to the inevitable she real
lied that nothing could put her back
in the place where she had been when
Esther Clark had written to her ask
ing her to come to the city and take
the job that was waiting for her in
the same store where Esther herself
was employed.
The prospect of being able to work
and live in the city offered a tempta-
ton which any girl brought up as
Olive had been would have found it
hard to resist. Added to this there
was the necessity of her earning her
own living Now that her grand
mother was gone she was both free
to and compelled to choose different
way in life. Grandmother's long in
validism had eaten up the small prop
erty which grandfather had left.
Very soon now the train would be
taking her through John Marcy's
farm. and she meant to turn her head
the other way lest she catch a glimpse
of him somewhere in the Winter
landscape. Even with all her bridges
down she felt a lump rising in her
throat at the memory of Johns
friendship, which she had hoped might
strengthen into a permanent affection.
They had begun to know each other
in their early school days, and ever
since he had held an important place
in olives life. There was no reason
why he should not marry If he chose,
as far as she knew, but he was letting
her go without q word. It was this
very Indifference on his part that
stimulated her decision to leave HILL
vale forever.
There were only half dozen pas
sengers on the creaking old local and
Olive in her plain dark suit and close
fitting little velvet hat was a lovely
and distinctive figure. She was a
slender girl with gray eyes and dark
brows and hair. The emotion of
half dozen last partings at the station
had left her pale and put wistful
seriousness into her eyes. This look
deepened at sight of low white farm
house encircled by red barns, the
whole presided over by a group of
tamaracks The Marcy farm. She
closed her eyes.
They were nearing the mouth of
the tunnel that pierced North Noun
tain. On the other side of this great
barrier lay for Olive the beginning of
a strange new experience, for North
Mountain was the last landmark
which could remind her of her home.
Suddenly she was startled by sud
den grinding of brakes.
When the train had arrived at
complete standstill the conductor
came in to explain.
There has been a cave-in the tun-
nell he said.
There were many questions-how
long would they be held up, what had
caused the cave-in, and how it would
be repaired? Then the men and a
f1ustered woman expressed their de-
termination to walk over the noun
tain to the other side, where there was
station-a distance Of three miles.
When they had gone there was no one

Then a glance of understanding passed
between him and Mrs. Miller.

Then Olive spoke.
II won't go to his house. I'd rather
stay here and freeze and starve.

"Why, dearie"' exclaimed Mrs. Mil
Ter. Hes a fine young man. You
hurt his feelings dreadfully. You
mustn't, dearie." Then as Olive be-
gan to cry she put an arm about the
girl. Tell me what's the trouble,
dearie won't your
But Olive shook her head and kept
her secret.
When a quarter of an hour later
John came back he was trailing a
bobsled.
But 1 am not going" Olive said.
His eyes grew stern.
You are, if I have to pick you up
and take you by force" he said firmly.
So Olive went with Mrs. Miller on
the slender bobsled. John strobe

left on the car but Olive and a little
old woman in an old-fashioned bonnet,
who came down the aisle to sit with
Olive and talk to her.
We're better off right here in the
train, dearie," the little old woman
said. It's warm here and the view
from the windows is real pretty.
That's a nice place over there under
the trees. Look, dearie. There's a
man coming across the fields. What's
he got on his feet?"

Mrs. Miller chuckled admiringly.
Coming right along. isn't he?" she
said. Makes me think Of Davy, my
son. He's just such a big, strong,
splendid man as that"
A few minutes later John appeared
outside talking to the trainman. Olive
could hear his voice. but she kept her
face turned resolutely away. Even
when he entered the car she did not
glance up at him. 1t was, therefore,
left for Mrs. Miller to give John a
welcome which she did heartily.
''They say it may be midnight be-
fore they get the props up and the
track cleared" John said. You can't
stay here, you know. I'm going to
take you home with me-
Olive shook her head, but Mrs. Mil
Ter nodded.
That's very kind in you, my dear
boy, and 1 for one appreciate it. It's
a long time until midnight and l

Olive flushed. bit her lips and kept
silence. John looked at her anxiously.
