Neighbors would fnd their frozen
bodies days later+.
She clutched the children against
her. They never should have started
out, They wouldn't have If 1t had
been an month later,
The storm attacked with a new
fury, an uncomfortable violence It
lashed and screamed and laughed in
hideous triumph at their helplessness.
An hour passed. A day. A week!
A month! All noise blended and be-
came nothing. Movement ceased.
Laura became conscious of nothing
but the cold. 1t crept over her with
a relentlessness, like an icy hand
clutching tighter, from which there
was no escape. :.
Laura was reused by some one
rubbing snow against her cheeks.
She sat up, trying to cry out, re-
membering the children. They're
all right" Jud said. Il gave the
horses their heads. They took us
home. Wouldn't have made it other
wise"
Stiff-leged, carrying a child in
either arm. she went through the
shed and into the kitchen. The heat
beat against her face. She set the
children on the table and went to
the stove. The beets were still steam
ing. In another five minutes they
would have burned Laura thought
what a narrow escape that was.

She settled down once more, hug
ging the children close. Cold crept
in under the rugs. Snow piled up
in her lap and on her shoulders
The world had gone mad. 1t was
full Of insane demons who laughed
and jeered and Knocked and shrieked
in her ear. There was no end to it.
1t had always been So She knew now
why people went mad in blizzards.
Again she had that feeling of
swinging around. She fought it until
the horror of it threatened her sanity.
Then she poked her head from be-
meath the rugs. Jud was crouched
forward, tense. pulling on the nigh
rein. She beat against his shoulder.
We've missed the house I'm
turning back' She could barely
catch the words. A cold chill, a
hideous fear CONCEALED the blood in
her veins. Missed the house! It
would be hours-possibly days before
the storm ended. They had no pro-
visions aboard the wagon. They
would freeze. There was no help.

| of the heavy farm wagon increased
in tempo. Beneath them, at the foot
of the long slope, Laura could see
rounded by the freshly-turned wheat
fields.
The cloud bank came toward them
with astonishing speed, hanging an
impenetrable gray crutain from sky
to earth as it swept across the prairie.
Jud stood up and lashed out with
the whip. Beauty and Prince put
their bellies to the ground, as If none
knew better the importance Of win
ming that race. Hill" Jud yelled.
Hi Beauty! Hi, Prince!" Each
time he yelled the words were pune
tuated by the crack of the whip.
Little Lucy began to cry, and
moment later, Jud, junior, joined in
with lusty bawls Laura huddled one
under each arm and said. "Sh! Sh,
now!" But when she lifted her
anxious eyes, she felt again the
terror.
The farm buildings were not more
than quarter of mile away. Now
they could hear the roar of the wind
1t drowned out the crunch of wheels.
The blizzard struck them like blast
from the Arctic Snow whipped into
their faces. Wind tore at their cloth
ing The temperature dropped below
freezing.
Laura drew the heavy bear rugs
about the children, and bound her
own scarf about her face. She could
no longer hear the crying of the
youngsters, nor the clopping of the
horses hoofs, nor Jud's shouts She
could hear nothing but the roar of
the wind. She had to fight for breath
There was no point in looking up
She tried it once. It was like being
suspended in great vacuum with
moving, screaming walls. Even the
outlines of the horses were blotted
out. Time ceased to be- There was
| no such things as distance. The
| world, that few minutes ago had
included miles of rolling prairie dotted
with farmhouses and oblongs of wheat
stubble and fallow land, had dwindled
to inches in radius Laura thought
of her sung, warm kitchen. She re-
membered having left huge kettle
| of beetS on the back of the stove.
The kettle would need fresh water
in half an hour.
The progress of the team slowed
Jud was no longer using the whip.
He sat bumped forward. barely visible
