ENTERTAINING MOTHER.
"What are you giggling about in
here, all ,by yourself?' said the voice
at the cloor. "I've heard you laughing
for -an hour or more, and I'm curious."
"I'm writing, a letter to mother."
"What is so funny about that? I
write to my mother every day, but I
never find anything in that to laugh
about. On the contrary, those are
solemn occasions with nie, for I al-
most never know what to write that
will interest Ithr."
The girl at the desk looked aston-
ished. "Not know what „will interest(
your mother! Why, yourself of course.'
I write about. myself, what dress I
ani wearing, what we had for dinner,

PART III.
Suddenly behind us I heard a ter-
rific cragh. A huge tree had crashed
over the road a hundred feet buck
Silat after we had easeed along it.
Seddenly there loomed up in the(
road ahead of us another fallen tree,
No need of brakes. The strew piled(
lip and jammed us. ,
Now we were hi a trap, unable to
go ahead, unable to go back, How
long could we last in a storm like
• ,
this?
••• ,
Kennedy smiled- a serious_ smile.
Wind and no were- against starting
-
a fire. • "I'm going to- seeif there's
anything that might provide more
shelter than this car," he mutteved,
starting off to reconnoitre.
Ile was several yards ahead of me,
floundering in the.drifts, when I heard -
his voice .above the,. wind in the teees.
A few feet ahead of hi& 1 could Just
make out through the 'blinding flakes
some' low shacks. • ar
.' Once,. the place had been is limber
camp and evidently a_busy one. Now
doors were hanging on rusted hinges,.
broken windows made no effort to
Itee'p out the snow.
Imagine the thrill when yre caMe
upon an 'old crossacut saw lying' oe
the ground fn one of the shacks. Craig
picked ,it up as solieitously as if it
were 'a ,nugget of gold or the Koh-
l -neon. • . • .
"A little oil and (elbew grease, Wal-
ter, and we can got thie sew to work.
Do you know -what that means?"
-a-"Do 1? Yes- mre. go on!"
• Quickly Craig turned, made his way
each to the car for oil and grease.
It had been a long time since had
token an (end of a cross -cut saw, and
then only for fun. But -when ohe's life
is in danger, almost any kine of work'
comes eaey. Kennedy at one end and
I at the other, we set to work at that
tree. The saw was not much but it
was gape enough for us filially to 'gee
through the trunk. '
With much. heaving and shoving
end Coaxing we managed to topple the
sawed-off top over the side where it
hunk, and it rolled a bit down , the
side of the mountain. Next we had
to scoop the snow from about the cer.
Kennedy took the shovel, 1 osed one
of a couple of planks -wrenched -from
the deserted (shacks, . •
"Welt- take the planks along, Wal-
ter. We may have to use them."
It was well we did, or their useful-
neas lasted (until the rear wheels with
their chains split them into -match-
weed, getting us out of sloughs of
ShOW,
It was slow traveling. Many times
we had to stop and clear the way.
But always we were getting on. At
last 'we reached the other side of the
mountain. What before had been a
gredual aliment, herd to accomplish on
the slippery road, new eecarrie a(speed-
ier (descent. •
We had not gone far down the other
side when Kerinedy suddenly drew MY
aetehtion 10 Meet sounds above the
wind,
"Can you make that out, 'Walter?"
"Sounds like voices."
Lt a short time, in spite of being
swallowed up in the storm, ht the road
'ahead Of, us we could see a closed
car, stalled: - •
Kennedy kept his motor running
and we jumped out to see what was
the trouble with thee people. A.
young couple advanced to meet us.
The girl showed the effette of her dis-
tressing experiences. The man nearly
carried her through the drifted seosve
"What's the trouble'?" called Craig.
• "A ' trce across the road --just
ahead of us. There are more of .us
stallece-two ()thee care ahead. The
man's voice was a bit shaky. ,
There were two ether touring cars
aheede and lying acroes the road in
front of. the first was a tree larger
even than the tree wehad cut through
already. •-• •
• I tugged at Craig's arm. There in
the erst car was a- preacher, atone
now, kneeling in the( enow, praYMg.
(But it was the second ear, back of
his that caught my eye. This was
th's! car of McDonald, a rum runner.
There was no concealment about. it.
'Sure len Mermen' it down. This is
my Christmas stock for iny' cuetomers
in the cities down the Connecticut
-Valley." Ile jerked his ((thumb over
his shoulder, not unkindly. "That's
the Rev, Jones, of the Houseof Gids
eon, he calls it. A regeler
though," '
Keneedy was studying everybody
and -everybody, was studying es. .As
weeappreached we had heard the
preacher praying eloquently for de-
liverance. It is at sudh times that
God Seems cloSest.,
"Come on, now," cried Kennedy.
"You people all ',get together.. Let's
pool our resources, alie make a fieht
for it"
• "I'm On. My earne's Soper -James
Soper." This was teem the young
Man with the girl. "'Traveling sales-
man."
Kennedy 'smiled and nodded: "Mrs.
Soper—"
. The fellow's -face flushed in spite
of the cold. I think he was going to
accept it Bute the girl 'would have
nofie of it. ,
- "eke Pve been living la lie for the
last teem days and God hasspuelshed
me for' it!" she exclaimed hysterieal-
ly, "If my ene is eels/el feW hours
off, net make it worse by adding
ono more Ile., 011„ God, forgivti
I loved him so -and t thought it was
he right, that no one ehe would suffer
for my happinees."' She broke Cron)
him anci ,threw,horself in ,I,he onoW.
" Kennedy reached down to raise her
up; gently. "We all make mistakes,
my girl. . It's the brave people who
are wilimy toadmit them Things
may not be so hopoles's. We'll prob-
ably be needing your trete shortly,, to
get Out of, all' thiC trOuhlo."
Kennady'S confidence and simplicity
had stirred her "NVItat can I do?"
she cried. Only, 1$ fee, help, let me
do s)uneihing until the end-vene t -
ever that may be. Don't touch me.
I'll get up myself."
It was McDonald, the rum runner,
who brogght us to a graver realiza-
tion of our danger. "Did you know
this region lias wolvise in winter? No?
People scoff at the idea of it, but
know atinan whose gasoline gave out
one eight thiS pasS. When they
found what was left of him the cor-
oner brought in a verdict of ono word,
'Wolves.'" '
Night would be on us before we
realized it. Whatever was to be done
had to he done quickly.
• The pr-acher, Jones, tvas again en
hi-lenees tho snow. The Presence
of a man of Gain times when death
hovers neat. often lends courage and
confidence to worldly men. I could see
that Kennedy knew and felt the in-
spiration he wield be to all the rest
a us.
-Brothers, do you want me te stop
praying?" He asked it gently. -
"Go on! Go on! Pray!" I -felt we
all wanted his prayers. But this was
the girl, "We all need.„ it so!" she
said.
I felt sorry for that girl, no matter
how foolish she had been. She was
plucky.
"Soper (confided to me," the rum-
runner had told. "She is a farmer's
daughter up here somewhere. You cen
see she is mighty attractive: Ile is an
agricultural machinery salesmare He
came up to seether dad several times
on business. That's how be met her,
She fell in Imre with him, was wild

that she op and left her home, eloped
with him. They MIA married yet,
and from what I (figure she ain't like-
