CHAPTER "
A. Corey had predicted. Ian
Rry.olds came of with most o
the horors. aud won most Of the
points for h.S college, the ma
day of tn net.
Sally thought She mad neveI
sem noe magnificent, or nm
rrcs.i,r >ignt than the thousands
OF enthusiastic spectators, sur
rounding the course with its back
drop uf high hills, sheer cliffs
dark pines and bright sunshine.
The most beautiful and impress
sjvr event of all was the slalom
r..c q. set through its intricate pat
terms of bright flags, that requlr-
ed all the agility and skill OF
which the runners were capable.
None OF them, Sally saw. with
thrill of pride, could come up TO
Dan. A mighty cheer rose from
all that enormous crowd as ms
swift, raceful figure took the run,
executing high-speed Christmas
spray-throwing telemarks and the
fast tempO-turn with astonishing
and breath-taking perfection.
spray-throwing telemarks and the

and breath-taking perfection.
None of the other Of the Big
Six, for there were representa-
tiyes from Harvard, Princeton,
Cornell. Yale. and Brown had
any runner to match Reynolds.
No other man came off with as
many points as he, for Dan ex-
celled, not only in slalom, but in
jumping and downfall
"He ought to be in the Olyn-
pics" Sally said to Corey. "He
could go professional. I've never
seen anything like him, Corey.
And I've seen some Of the best"
This was after the meet, back
in the fraternity house where a
dinner-dance was in progress in
honor of the visiting girls. For
tomorrow the house parties would
be over, the co-eds would pack
their fluffy dance frocks and sill
yer slippers, ski togs and clumsy
boots: the men would settle down
to cram for mid-term exams.
Look here" Corey said. his
eyes narrowing, Pm getting
bit fed up, hearing you sing Rev.
Eolds' praises day and night, night
and day. Don't forget you're still
my Rirl-tonight, anyway"
He scowled so fiercely at an
other brother who gave evidence
of intentions Of cutting in that
the rest of the stag line took note
and knew they had better let
Corey have a clear field this even
ing.
"That reminds me-" he held
Sally a little closer, gave. her an
unexpected whirl that nearly lift
ed her silver slippers from the
floor, we've q special date later
on. Just you and yours truly. I've
ordered a cutter, going to take
you for q sleigh ride. And I've
also ordered big full moon. How
does that sound, my sweet?"
1T sounds almost too roman
tie" Sally returned demurely.
But she meant it. She was not
at all sure that she wanted to
take a moonlight sleigh ride alone
with Corey. He might get ideas in
his handsome head, ideas that
would be too romantic for Sally
to cope with. For she knew that
Corey had lost his heart to her
during this gay weekend.
The funny part, however. was
that Sally had hoped to add Cor
ey Porter to her list of admirers.
She had hoped this weekend
would accomplish just that VIC
torious conquest. For it was Il
conquest TO land Corey. lie never
had fallen, seriously, for any girl.
Like Sally. he WAS too popular,
too much i'm demand.
Why wasn't she thrilled now,
knowing that on this sleigh ride,
Corey. without doubt, would ask
her to be his girl, not Just for to-
night, but for always? What had
happened 10 Sally TO make her
change her mind? Surely il had
