Snow came, fine snow, stinging snow; it clung to the man's clothto his eyebrows and mantled the ing, burden on his shoulders. Now and again he lifted his head from the bending which protected his face somewhat from the drive of the storm and spoke. "All right, Stevle?" he would ask. From the huddle up there, which was a pack-sacwith a blanket drawn over the small boy riding in It, would come a whimper. "Foots are cold 1" "Wiggle 'em. Stevle Wiggle "em fasti" the man would sny and plunge on, with something like desperation in the grit of his snowshoes through the loose covering of old snow, pulling the ends of the blanket which he held in his hands a bit closer to keep the child's head and shoulders covered. The man was frightened. It showed In his pace, which was too swift for long Journeying, showed in his excited breathing, which the effort of even forced travel alone would not have produced ; showed, also, In the way he turned frequently to look backward, is if fearful of pursuit. For the first hour it had not been so bad. It was cold, yes, and blowing a bit, still, the conditions were not discouraging to a man with less than forty pounds on his back and with only twenty miles to go; not discour aging when necessity seasoned with desperation occasioned the trek. Even If it had been storming at the start Rnd had the burden been much heavier, the effort would hoe been as nothing compared to the prospect of Jail. . . . But he had scarcely left behind the yellow squares of windows in Flynn's camp before the first outriders of snow squalls struck, and before he had covered a third of the way the blizzard roared down upon him. For Drake, a blizzard was nothing new. For Drake alone, that Is. But on his back a with a four year-olstorm like this was something else again. Andhowthe child foTTTie first time volunteered a complaint: "Daddy, my foots are cold 1" "Won't be long, now, Stevle; hang on; we'll get into a nice, warm place pretty quick, now!" The little boy snuggled closer. The mittened hands which had rested on the man's shoulders under the protecting blanket worked forward, half embracing his father's neck. Drake's breath caught and he shook his head to clear away the mist which formed In his eyes. Ooing back was out of the question. The thing which had driven him off would be discovered by now. A stop to attempt to warm the child would have been risky, with which to even had he a helt-aknock up a shelter and fuel. But it was a dozen miles yet to the railroad ; a dozen miles, with the going Ingetting rapidly worse and the cold creasing and his own strength, taxed necesby the demands of his physical sity and the sappings of twin fears, ebbing steadily. He edged to the left, now, watching stream, the bank of the winter-lockelooking for an opening In the timber. Taking It. he would be forced to cross a bald ridge and face an even more Intense sweep of the storm, but men said It saved three miles on the trip to town. Three miles, an hour's travel. "Da ddy 1" The child whimpered a little for the first time. "All right, Stevle I Won't be long, now. . . . Here we are!" He saw the leaning cedar and the opening of the trail and swung toward it The going was more difficult because loose snow had fallen to shin depth and lay unpacked by the wind. The cover yielded a measure of protection from the blizzard and this was welcome but the climb was a fresh demand on Drake's overworked lungs and heart and muscles. Breath began to sob In his throat and he staggered until the little boy clasped his neck In a hold that strangled. "Don't, Stevle I" pushing the small hands away.
