CHAPTER X -8- Days wore by; sometimes days of unbroken sunshine; sometimes days of gently sifted whiteness ftuttering out of a gray sky. In a week all the p~lrie was blunl>eted deep with snow. Then came tlle g1·eat ni~ht. At this time of the year, in this Iatiture, it Is dark by five in the afternoon, particularly If the sky happen to be overcast. On the day In qu('S· tion .Tack and I bad done up our few chores about the stui.Jle, curried in a supply of water und lirewood, and returned to our shacks for supper. Marjorie, brisk, efficient housewife that she was, had the tai.Jle set when I came in. Our meals were perforce simple, and when we had finished and the few dishes were cleared uwny I lool<ed at my watch. It was barely six o'clock. "l:his Is going to be another of our long, long evenings," Marjorie remarked, with what !'eemed like a su;;gest!on of complaining. "::3uppo~e you ask Jack and .lean to come over; I don't feel like going out in the snow." "Jlan may not feel like going out, either," I retorted. "I guess she's as much llke sugar as ~·ou are," I added, having in my mind some reference to an adage about sugar melting. "I fancy you thin It she's a good den I more like su;;ar than I aru, brother o' mine," Marjorie returned. "\\'ell, run along and tind out.'' Later, when I recalled that remark, I was struck by its slgniflc:mce, but at the moment I had no suspicion that Jack nnd lllnrjorie were working a scheme on me. I have always held that .Jean was Innocent of any part In lt. So fgerl, I pullerl on my pea·jacl<et and o ershoes und fur cap and started out on tlle hundreu-~·urd jaunt from our Shack to tl1e one a\'ross the gully. I marie the trip without ditliculty and ent red without knocking as was our ct . om in our numerous visits tack and forth. Jean looked up from the tahle where she snt readin~.

There hau been, of course, that sudden, tm. petuous, unspoken revelation when we returnee! from our harvest ab· sence In the settlements, but there had been no talk of love between .lean and me. I had treasured that moment as a hit of wonderful memory, us a gllmpse of wonderful promise, but I had not pre~mmed upon It; I had concluded that two months' loneliness had been too much for Jean's reserve, and that she ha<'! ~nne something 1t hardly would be fair to talk about. . . . Doubtless Jack, whPn he found I had . missed him, would te back shortly. I took my wraps orr and sat down beside the stove. 'l'he warmth was very pleasant after the buffeting of the snow, and Jean looked very lovely and tempting In the soft glow of the lamp on the table.
