kitchen nfler feeding the hens. "1
thought I'd he blown away onre or

out In this storm tonight. Heard the

Mrs. I'.ccMUi. a leniarknbly trim,
young looking u-omnn to bo the moth
er of Much n stalwart looking son,
was busy setting tie table and alter
nately Mining creamed potatoes on
the stove.
"No. John, J haven't heard n sound."
fdio replied In n motherly gone. "Hut
I thought I iiv n Klelgh Wth two
come around the bend In the rond n
while ngo. I've hei-n watching every
little while, but I haven't seen any
thing more of It."
She wint to the window ngnln. II
was Just dusk.
"Oh, John!" she exclaimed. "There
N some one trying to get throni'li the
drifts by the old barn. There, the
horse Is dow n."
John I'.eeklln came to the window
and peered out Into the fast deepening
gloom.
"Why. If looks n though there wan
a woman In the sleigh. .Too bad they've
been caught out In this. P.ut the drifts
nre soft yet, nnd maybe they'll pull
through. I wonder who they are? They
must he strangers, or they wouldn't
attempt to drive through that spot."
"Well, the horse Is up." announced
Mrs. Uecklln with relief, "but they are
trying to make him go ahead. The
next plunge and the poor animal will
only go down again. Kven If they do
manage to get through this bank, they
can't go on In this blow. It would be
sure death, with night coming on, and
It's growing colder every minute. Oh!"
fche gasped; "there goes the sleigh
over. Mercy! I hope that poor wom
an ln't hurt."
She turned.
"Where are you going, John?" she
qoestloued as he begun putting on his
things,
"I'm going to take down the bars so
that man can come through the Held.
He was gone, and the mother
watched with keen anxiety as he bat
tled against the tierce winS and whirl
ing snow. Once he turned his hack to
catch his breath. Twice be sank oil
of sight, but finally succeeded In
reaching the two weary travelers.
John directed the Mrangers'through
the perilous drifts Into the open field
and up to their barn, where the hired
man took charge of the almost ex
hausted animal.
Mrs. I'.ecklin ran to the kitchen
door and threw it as hospitably wide
ns the storm would allow to welcome
the strangers.
"Come In, come In out of this wind."
she Invited cheerfully. "You must be
nearly frozen."
"Fortunately we both escaped, hut
such an experience!" returned a sweet
young voice, as the man. divested of
his furs, came Into the living room.
"Myra." he gasped, gazing straight
Into her clear gray middle aged eye.
"Is It possible?"
"Wilbur," breathed Mrs. Hecklln,
scarcely believing her eyes. "I I
thought you were In the West. And
this," she paused gazing at the pretty
blue-eyed girl.
"Is my daughter. Una," he said
briefly. "And this lad to whom we
are indebted for our escnpe Is M
"My son," returned Myra.
After a moment's alienee, "If It
were not for the children, we might
think time had almost stood still," be
murmured.
Over delectable creamed potatoes,
sliced pink ham. hot rolls nnd coffe,
Wilbur Norcross told how the urge to
come Kast had been too strong for
him. In the fall he had bought a small
farm nt FatUhurgh. His sister kept
house while I'na taught school In the
old Everett district about five miles
distant.
Myra nodded. She had heard about
a Norcross family moving luto the vil
lage. As the weather looked promising
nnd ns It was Friday night he had
started out to drive Una home.
For three days the travelers were
storm-bouud In the mountains. It was
Impossible to shovel out roads until
the wind abated. During this time
friendship nnd intimacy sprang tip,
which ripened Into something warmer,
and when the storm had ceased and
the roads were open, Myra and Wilbur
told the children the same old ever
new story. Years ago they had quar
reled becnuse Myra refused to live In
the country.
"Such a silly thing." laughed Myra
happily, "because I live on a farm
now and love It, even to being storm
bound and cut off from civilization."
"We'll make It a delightful binding
for life," ndded Wilbur.
John looked nt Uua.
"1 guess we have something to con
fess, too. It's a pretty short court
ship but but Cupid has been flinging
his darts around so lively he has
struck us stpjarely, too."
"The second edition, bound for life."
murmured Wilbur. Then with boyish
enthusiasm: "Let's make it a double
