THE FAITHFULNESS
OF JOSE
But to go to the cabin was to -face the
storm, and this the poor little pony
refused to do. He yielded to the mys-
terious power and shrang before it.
"Give ate the pony, then, and try it
on foot. Button your coat rtlgttt and
don't stop for anything." .
The boy slid from the saddle. Right
in the teeth of the storm, with his
hands over his eyes to g•uard them
from the stinging snow. stumbling in
the direction of the cabin, falling into
cuts and .over low shrubs, he valiantly
struggled.
