Jim groaned, stirred a bit, and

It was kind of childish to let on

Suddenly he heard faint hum in
the sky. It grew nearer. Unmis-
takably a motor-an airplane!
Bill raced for the cabin door.
"a plane, Jirn!" he cried. Get
some black smoke going up the
chimney" Then he raced out to
the clearing.
The pilot saw him gesticulating
wildly, or else he saw the fresh
black smoke over the cabin. The
big ship circled, flew off to the north,
turned and came back, flying low.
Over the clearing it almost stalled
as the pilot dumped overheard
huge bundle that plummeted into
the snow almost at Bills feet. Then
he waved and sped away.

though they wanted to open the bum

rope was torn loose an oilskin pouch
flew out. A note was inside. From
the boss:

the last time he stood in this station.

He had forgotten IS best he could.
Nothing in Marysville for him then,
either. There had been quick de-

then-off to the city. 1t was odd
how a biz like that could give

out of snoWdrift.
