ure poised high above their heads, figure that vorlaged now with one swift, graceful forward move ment, poised for the gelande- sprung, or jump, rose like bird silhouetted down the trail of the slick steep slope, cloud of snow like silvery smoke billowing behind, to come to a smooth, perfect stop with an elaborately executed Chris tie"
 "That was worth looking at, " Corey admitted. Perfect co-ordi- nation and judgment, marvellous tempo and control"
 "Who is he?" Sally demanded, still wide-eyed and breathless. Never had she seen anything to equal that performance in sheer grace and beauty.
 Don't you know? That's Rey- holds. He's out for the Olympics. He'll make it, too, if he keeps up that form. He'll probably walk away with most of the honors to- morrow. At least, as one of his fraternity brothers, I can say he'd just better, since we're backing

than thatI" she informed him loft fly, adding quickly, How about showing me a bit of shagging?" For Corey prided himself on know ing all the newest, most intricate dance steps. Besides, Sally knew she never was expected to be quiet or serious. That was part of the price paid for maintaining the status of popularity.
 You're a, WOW for punishment" !" Corey said with grudging admir- ation, pulling himself to his feet. After the strenuous hours we've put in these last two days and nights, and if anyone questions the StrenuousnesS just let him look how my poor knees are beginning to cave in!" He took a circle around the table, making his knees wobble con1ically, turning his feet on edge, bringing a laugh from everyone at his clowning. Then he whirled Sally out onto the tiny square of polished floor in dizzy, wild tango that caused the few other couples to shy into corners to watch the exhibition. For among all her other accomplish ments, Sally was the slickest danc- ing partner any fellow ever had.
 Just what is the big idea?" Corey asked, after the applause had died down and they had taken a breathless bow before they wandered back toward their table again. Why aren't you entering the women's events, Sally?" He had expected Sally to come off with top honors, as she had last year. Incidentally, as his girl, he felt she owed it to him. Just as now he felt she owed him an ex- planation for not entering.
 q told you. I'm not good enough" Sally answered lightly. The color in her cheeks deepened, her heartbreak quickened. Not be- cause she still was breathless from the dance, but because-at last-her bright rowing glance had been rewarded. In far corner, all by himself, his attention com- pletely absorbed in the task of waxing his skis with infinite pa- tience and loving care, sat the person she had been searching for. Apparently he had not even taken time out to observe Sally and Corey's exhibition. Apparently he did not know they were on earth.
 "This way!" Sally tugged at Corey's sweater sleeve. She gave him a. knowing look. Remember our check, Corey? Be a good boy and keep quiet. And watch the fun"
 She walked straight over to that corner, Corey following, his hand some face bit puzzled, a bit sul- ky.
 "Greetings!" Sally said in her calm, clear voice. She tossed back her dark curls; her eyes held their bright, dangerous look. "We know we're intrrupting. A thousand pardons for that. But Corey wants to ask a favor, as one brother to

another. Isn't that right, Corey. my lad?" She threw him a laugh- ing look that bound him in inti- mate understanding.
 Corey prided himself on being good sport. She knew she could rely on him not to let her down.
 Dan looked up reluctantly, run ming one hand absentmind dedly, in sort of caress, down the smoothly polished ski. He said, "HeIlo,' none too cordially. His eyes Sally had taken note before that they were gray, and very grave, as well-met hers Squarely
 Don't bother to get upl" Sally said quickly, significantly. Usually men could not get to their feet swiftly enough when Sally stood before them. She wondered If he was being rude purposely, or if he did not know any better.
 The slow flush that crept up the high planes of his dark cheek bones answered this. He knew better, all right. For some reason he was determined to snub Sally. His gray eyes still were direct. T wasn't going to-" he answered. "I couldn't risk dropping these" He nodded toward the skis balanced across his knees. What can I do for you, Corey?" His tone held the tinge of politeness due an upper classman.
 "Corey wants to ask you if you'll, give me lesson in skiing tomorrow morning." Sally put in before her escort could say any thing. She slipped an arm through Corey's, gave him a little warning pressure. Corey says he knows you could teach me better than anyone else. I'll meet you at whatever time you name" The gray eyes never wavered. If he was taken by surprise, if he wanted to refuse, but felt he could not, Dan Reynolds did not give any sign. Make it six o'clock" he said. That's the only possible time could manage"
 "Six o'clock - in the morning." Sally gasped.
 | Dan nodded. Briefly, decisively. He bent his head over his skis again, dipped the rag in the wax.
 "serves you right!" Corey's sulkiness vanished. He took Sal ly's arm to lead her back where she belonged. T can picture you rising at that unholy hour to win any dare, my sweet! suppose that's what you're up to. You're usually up to something. But-and this time I'll lay any odds you ask for-you might as well give up before you commence"
 'I1l name them," Sally agreed "And match them with any you care to mention"
 She wished she felt as confident as she sounded!

She was voted the most popular girl in her school and now she's to be Queen of the carnival!"
 Remember" Corey said, you're my girl this weekend, Sally. Any one who tried to break that up had just better watch his neck!" His look was so fierce, so possessive that Sally laughed.
 T guess no one will dare try" she said. That is if he values his neck" But she knew that Carey would find plenty of competition. Wherever she went Sally always held court.
 Rounding the bend they came upon @ dazzling beautiful sight, wind -rippled snow, sparkling with myriad tiny diamonds, dark senti- nels of pines marching up the mountain sides, a blue. blue sky spread like a canopy overhead, and crowds and crowds of brightly -cos- tuned people.
 Isn't it lovely?" Sally exclaimed, and then, "Oh, Corey - look at that!" She caught his arm, stand ing breathless, watching dark fig

him to stack up points for dear old Dartmouth"
 "I'd like to meet him." Sally said. It suddenly seemed impera- tive that she should meet this young man. He was the center now of a noisy, enthusiastic crowd as Sally and Corey drew near.
 Corey glanced at her, sidewise; his blue eyes narrowed. That wouldn't do you any good" he in- formed her, crisply. Reynolds hasn't any time for women. Not even one as de-lovely and desir- able as you, my sweet. Especially one of your kind, I might add"
 Are you afraid you couldn't wiring his neck?" Sally laughed at him. What do you mean by one of my kind?" I can't say eX- actly relish that!"
 WdS 44OU 4O4 SO4C 4Cy to answer this, even with one of bis ever-ready wise-cracks. Sev- eral of the young people, gath cred about Dan Reynolds, recog- nized Sally and Corey and called out to them. r'.. "Hi, there!"
 "Alley-oop! It's about time you joined us!"
 Here comes the Queen, every body! Make way! Let's have a royal welcome!"
 Three long loud cheers rang out from lusty young threats as Sally responded with a mocking bow, flashing her smiles to the right and left. However, her dark eyes did not leave the figure of the tall, bare-headed boy, remaining silent and apart.
 He, alone, had not raised his voice in welcome.
 "Isn't someone going to intro- duce us?" Sally inquired. Her smile was just for him now. The Queen singling out humble sub ject, bestowing a special favor. She would show Corey that he was mistaken. Sally had yet to meet the young man who would not have any time for her.
 
 Someone hastened to go through the formality of introductions. Sally extended her hand. Another gra- cious gesture. But one that this boy Reynolds accepted coldly. Then he inclined his head briefly, mumbled some small amenity, swung on his skis, glided away.
 ''What did I tell you?" Corey said at Sally's side. His hand some face wore wide grin..
 "Why, he's the rudest person ever saw!" Sally'S f ace was flushed. Then she shrugged her dainty shoulders beneath the bulky warmth of her paid parka, the hooded, wind-proof jacket of her smart skiing outfit, turned toward the others. Imagine anyone who's so courageous on top of a moun- tain, running away at the foot of one! What a great big he-man our would-be Olympic champion is, after all Did he think I would bite?"
 This got a laugh, as she had hoped it would. Someone ex- plained that Reynolds actually was afraid of anything in skirts" for all his bravery and skill. Though I'll bet Sally could tame him." Fudge Wylie, another of

Ccrey's fraternity brothers, and another ardent admirer of Sally'S, claimed. .
 "Ill take you up on that" Sally said coolly, with little proud toss of her head. Her heart beat hard with anger and determination. "It's a double dare, Fudge. For Corey's in on it, too, I'm sure" She turned to him, her dark eyes dancing now. "Check, Corey, my lad?"
 "Check." He nodded solemnly. That was their phrase to seal 8 bargain.
 well, then" Sally said, eff we're going to get started for the two-hour climb up that hill, sup pose you fasten my ski-bindings a bit tighter and we'll get going"
 But Sally was not thinking of skiing. Her prety head already was outlining a campaign that promised more thrill and excite ment than conquering mountain. CHAPTER III The Ski-Rest, perched high like a crows nest on top of the mountain, was packed with red checked, bright eyed youngsters dressed in sweaters and knickers and snow suits, woody mittens and heavy boots. A big fire roared at each end of the long, log room in the huge stone fireplaces. The smell of smoke and wax mingled with the more tantalizing fra grance of coffee and hamburgers. The record machine sang out one gay dance tune after another in rapid succession challenging the chaff and chatter that rose all around. Outside the thermometer registered fifteen below and there was a bitter wind, but within was warmth and coziness and laughter.
 "How come you're not entering any of the women'S events, Sally?" Babe Fairchild, a plump, doll faced blond whose nickname suited perfectly, asked the question that all of the gang" had been hesitating to put. Everyone thought, as Queen of the Carni- val, you'd put the rest of us gals in our places on skis and skates"
 "Why should you think that?" Sally asked. Her dark eyes, be- meath long curling lashes, were searching covertly for one partic- ular person among all the close knit groups. I'm not that good. Not nearly good enough, in fact" She had her reasons, but she did not mean to divulge them.
 Maybe Sally's satisfied just to be Queen this year." Fudge re- marked, coming gallantly to her rescue. Sally might not be able to see him for dust, which was no small wonder with Corey paying her such open homage, but Fudge wouldn't give up hope until the last gun. "What'd you mean not good d-enough? You're plenty super when it comes to any sport, my love-"
 Don't you wish she were your love?" Corey taunted, winking broadley. He pulled his chair a bit closer to Sally's. bent his fair head nearer her dark one. "A penny for your thoughts" he murmured, just for Sally's ears. "Why don't you keep your mind on your work is newly this life-is- real, life-is-earnest attitude, my sweet2"
 Sally's eyes smiled back into his. They're worth much more
