The bitter, ice-laden blast that bore down from the mountains caught away her breath, the fine driving flakes, crystal-hard, whipped her face, almost blinding her with the fury of their onslaught, whilst her feet slipped and slid on the newly fallen snow as she trudged along veside the English- man. “This is a good preparation for a dance!" she gasped breathlessly, forcing her chilled lips to a smile. “For a dance? What dance?” “There's a fancy dress ball at the hotel tonight. There won't be—much of me—left to dance, will there?” The Englishman laughed suddenly. “My chief concern is to get you back to the hotel—alive,” he observed grimly. Jean looked at him quickly. “Ts it as bad as that?” she asked more soberly. “No. At least I hope not. I didn't mean to frighten you"—hastily. “Only it seemed a trifle incongruous to be contemplating a dance when we may bé struggling through several feet of snow in half an hour.” The fierce gusts of wind, lashing the snow about them in bewildering eddies, made conversation difficult, and they pushed on in a silence brok- en only by an occasional word of en- from the “All right?” he queried once, as Jean paused, battered and spent with | the fury of the storm. H She nodded speéchlessly. She had} no breath left to answer, but once} again her lips curved in a plucky lit- tle smile. A fresh onslaught of the wind forced them onwards, and she staggered a little as it blustered by. “Here,” he said quickly. “Take my arm. It will be better when we get into the pine-wood. The trees there will give us some protection. They struggled forward again, arm in arm. The swirling snow had blot- ted out the distant mountains; low- ering storm-filled clouds made a grey twilight of the day, through which they could just discern ahead a vague, formless darkness of the pine-wood. Another ten minutes’ walking brought them to it, only to find that the blunted edge of the storm was al- most counterbalanced by the added difficulties of the surrounding gloom. High up overhead they could hear the ominous creak and swing of great branches shaken like tops in the wind, and now and again the sharper crack of some limb wrenched violently from its parent trunk. Once there came the “echoing crash of a tree torn up bodily and flung to earth, “It's worse here,” declared Jean, “I think"—with a nervous laugh—‘T thin:: I'd rather die in the open!” “It might be preferable. Only you're ne going to die at all, if I can help it’ the Englishman returned com- _ posedly. But, cool though he appeared, he experienced a thrill of keen anxiety ac they emerged from the pinewood and his quick eyes scanned the dan- gerously rapid drifting of the snow. The wind was racing down the val- ley now, driving the snow before it and piling it up, inch by inch, foot by foot, against the steep ground which skirted the sheet of ice where they had been skating but a few hours be- fore. Through the pitiless beating of the snow Jean strove to read her compan- fon's face. It was grim and set, the lean jaw thrust out a little and the grey eyes tense and concentrated. "Can we get through?" she asked, raising her voice so that it might car- ry against wind. “If we can get through the drifted snow between here and the track on! the left, we're all right,” answered the delusive, innocent-looking surface. _ Jean went forward steadily beside} him, a little to the rear, The snow) was everywhere considerably more than ankle-deep, and at each step she could feel that the slope of the ground increased and with it the depth of the drift through which they toiled. The cold was intense.

The man in front of her was taking the brunt of the hardship, cutting a path for her, as it were, with his own body as he forged ahead, and she was de- termined not to add to his work by putting any weight on the strap which bound them together. All at once he gave a sharp ex- clamation and pulled up abruptly. “It's getting much deeper, he called out, turning back to her. “You'll never get through, hampered with your skirts. I’m going to carry you.” Jean shook her head, and shouted back: “You wouldn't get through, handi- capped like that. No, let’s push on as we are. I'll manage somehow.” | | His yolce came to her roughened with flerce anxiety. “No. I'm not hurt, only don't leave go of your end of the strap!” (To Be Continued.)

There is the education where you get your knowledge and the education, which is equally important, of friction with other human beings, and that you cannot get as long as you sit by yourself in your lodgings.

You get the corners knocked off, you learn toleration, and you emerge an infin- itely better fellow, able to get at work at once amongst your fellow men.

Lipton advertising loses one of its, firm believers. From the time that he started a grocery store in his na-_ tive Glasgow until he reached the head of a $20,000,000 mercantile cor- poration, Sir Thomas built much of his success on the firm foundation of consistent advertising. Lipton’s Tea is known throughout the world. His pub- licity schemes were many, and his “understanding of advertising” is credited with bringing him the phe ~ nomenal success he enjoyed.
