j the snowsboc trail by edison marshall wet bandages aere ovi ro that she gently she chapter xviii standing motionless in the dreadful gloom of blindness insensible to the growing cold bill made himself look his situation in the face finally his thought seized upon an idea so antastic seemingly impossible of achievement that at first he could not give it credence his snowshoe tracks probably were not yet obliterated under the wind blown snow could he feel his way along them back to the cabin the miles were many and long but he wouldnt have to creep on hands and knees alt the way he groped about at the side of the cabin for his snowshoe he found them in a minute then walked straight as he could fiftj feet but from the door once more he went oa hands and knees groping in the icy snow ho started to mak a great circle fifteen feet tarther he felt a break in the even surface the snow had been so soft and his shoes had sunk so deep that the powdered flakes the wind had strewn during the night had only half filled his tracks he started to follow them down he would walk ahead five pacos then drop down and grope again for the tracks- sometimes he found them at once- often he had to go on his hands and knees and start to circle then finding the trail he would mush on for five steps more oh the way was cruel he could not see to avoid the stinging lash of the spruce needles the cruel blows of the branches already the attempt began to partake of a quality of night mare he could not judge distance or time already it seemed to him tha he had been upon the journey endless hours he didnt know how far he had come the only thought he had left was al ways to count his terrible live steps and count five more on and on through the long hours but the fight was almost done ex haustion and huiger but cold most of all- were swiftly breaking him down the time came at inst when he could no longer get upon his feet and now like a tithonus who could not die he crawled along the snowshoe trail on his hands and knees- i cant go on he toll himself yet always his muscles made one movement more suddeiy he missed the trail his hand groped in vain over the white crust and he started to creep forward again but slowly the conviction grew upon him that he was crawling in a small circle the very circle he had just made some way he had missed the snewshoe trail slowlv he sank down in the snow i from pain his eyes he groped and in virginias hand she was still sikii wrapped in a b- nket- he started to get up could have her own cut pushed him down j but im all right now he tou her im sleepy and sore but im strong as ever let me get o my bed and get some sleep no im not sleepy yet but bill la ighed the sume gay laugh that had cheered her so many times its my turn to be nurse he told her get in quick tee is a delicate mellow she knocked on haiolds door whos there a sleepy voice an swered its i virginia im up and dressed did bill come back bih no and what on earth are now you

but she suppressed them she went swiftly to her cabin- put on her warmest clothing and as bill had showed her rolled a compact pack for her back she took a little package of food nourishing chocolate and dried meat the whisky flask that had been her sal vation the night of the rive exper ience and a stub of a candle for lire- building then with never a backward look she started away- down the dim

no knowledge of effort turned him over and lifted his head and shoulders into her arms his eyes were closed his face ex pressionless- his arms dropped limply to his side- she sobbed softly and her tears lay on his face bill oh bill wont you wake up and speak to me she cried she pleaded softly but he didnt seem to hear come back to me bill i need you she told him its so cold and im afraid oh please open your eyes she kissed him over and over chapter xxi bill had not been lying long inert in the snow and now he thought he was in tho midst of some wonderful glorious dream virginia he
