gambling debts!
So that was what she wanted of
him!
Somehow she had learned that he
had money. But Alice was not for
him.
His business, for the present any
way, was to find that other girl who
had been flung across his path when
he entered his home town. and now

So back to the hotel he went.
"A letter in your box. Mr.. Ster-

passed toward the elevator.
Greg turned with eagerness. A

Ruth jumped up and kissed him.
Her mothers protests were scarce

Before they had gone far Ruth
admitted the storm was really
worse than she had realized. The
snow was not very deep. but the
bowling winds had piled it in
strange drifts that made even their

seem queer and unreal. The wind

left for her. But she was probably
gone out of his life forever, he
thought sadly, as he fitted his key
into the lock and switched on his

his letter.

you on the wqy toward the East,
and think Of him as a mere passing
acquaintance. And to tell you the
truth that would have been a great
disappointment, for l found my
heart was knit close to yours and
did not want to lose you.
But / am especially glad just
now that know where you are. for
it happens that / found a letter

was having trouble.

he said. There isn't chance. It's
getting worse, too. Better to miss
the New Years party than the New

"Of course. father" Ruth felt
relieved.
The car swung around, the brakes
jammed. The soft snow settled
down under the two front wheels
which hung over the edge of the
road We're stuck. Ruth" her
father said. Il doubt if I can get
enough traction to back her" They
got out, scraped away the snow and
tried to lift the car, but one wheel
was caught Ruth shivered. Hadn't
we better hike home before this
storm gets worse-and we get too
cold?" asked Ruth.
Following the road proved quite
a task. They stumbled on together,
feeling their way, and at last the
welcome lights of home showed
them the right direction. This isn't
much Of a New Years eve cele-
bration. Ruth admitted. but it's
a lesson. I'm making my New
