We'll freeze to death," Selma was prairie -and -storm wise. How they succeeded; in loosening the; horses, tying the two together and raciunting, they ,could not afterwards tell, `The animals stumbled' on; their riders were silent. Suddenly Anson, whose .horse was situation.

'Selina clung to the harness with may even be near here," she added hopefully. "We came just in time." "But it''s-.ihipossible," Aneon said. ""I could not face the Storm -again.

Gently thenhe took off her cap and kissed her. -,"Since you persist, I even' go and you stay, -I was'a brute -to refuse you. 1 .. I' didn't melte` realize. I'm going for- your sake, dear. I'd do anything' in the world for 3''du." "Don't .say thet, she. said, 'shrink- ing from him. "1 wouldn't ask it!' ` That's why I'm going .. for you," he laughed oddly, almost harshly. ire went out, then, with'the'lantern, into the storm, no longer' in its first viol- ence yet raging fiercely enough. .Selma built up the file. She would have to use: the fuel -sparingly: In the morning, rhe would look for more. She took her place at the side of the bad. "My friend has gone for the doctor: ;Whim- you feel like it, tell me what. you can , what I ought to know,". Selma said gently : Gradually, little by little, she learned the facts. The woman was Annie Eaten, the wife of George Eaton. They had been mar- ried two years and they were very happy on ,their little . farm, Three months ago George had gone north to -the lumber camps,; for times were hard and they needed the money. He had expected' to ,be home fully two weeks ago. If he were only here now! At that thought the wife began to ory. - However,; she dried 'her tears because she had promised George that she would • be .brave. See, this •was George. She drew -a much -worn photo graph from under her pillow. It was a, thin face, , homely, honest -looking and kind. The wife -ldseed it hungi`.ily: "If George were here . , ."._She tried again to be brave. She ,told Selina where .to find the tiny, waiting gar- ments. The girl searched'the rud'e, :homemade cupboards and found plenty of bread and butter, eggs, canned goods, cereals ane a jar of broth. This 'last she heated and made Annie take some of it. (To be continued.) fel? mo what, you want ne to: do ,for you? There'll be fire in a minute. We'll do all we can. Aro you alone?" i'My baby , . it's our baby com- ing . . George is away.

"We'll do the very best we can," Selma gently laid her cold hand on the woman's burning 'forehead. She went to Auson then, and told him the stiffened 'hands and 'slid to her feet at her horse sank to his knees and steed: still. ' ;Won't move," Anson warned, "we've struck' a wire' fence. Perhaps I can let the horses through."_ "A light!' A light, Anson!' I see a light!" They both saw it then flickering through the veil of the stpim. 9t can't be far,„ Anson;'' Fortunately the poets were not hard to knock down and the horses strug- gled toward shelter.
