He looked up benighly, without recognition, without curiosity. He'd never seen her by-line; never heard of her. But he would.

"I like Connie better," he fold her. Then, "What are we going to tell Skippy when he wakes up?"

She looked at the little boy. still bundled and slecpinil bn the bench where she had put. him when they'd come in

Constance Dawson reached tinder the stove for her oxfords. They iverc hot and stiff with the toes curled up.

An odd liglitheaded feeling pos- sessed her. That was from being hungry. She steadied herself agaimt the desk and when Pat "use. too. she made her way across the swlmmlnc room.

The honest: thing, of course, would be to tell Pat ulzo she was. "You haven't read the papers very well-tray out there in the Rockies. You haven't seen my by-line. You don't. know I have a great tradi- tion behind me-aud ii ivontlcrfill future ahead. But I'm the girl who's going to battle you to a fin- ish for this job at Si. John's.

Yes, the little schoolhouse was right ahead. their refuge. And Skippy was in front of her. He looked adorable in the bulky snow- suit. Three of them-three travel- ing east. l-fow could she side-step the o licr two and ever feel free again?

That's what the Christmas Spirit, Inc. did to one.

And then the Christmas Spirit did something else. He took her in his arms. His lips brushed lici hair and Iier eyes. "Tell Jerry March for me." he was saying, "that I could have been very much in love with you. Tell him that. you and I were 10st for a little while but. that you came back. I'm afraid about me. I'm afraid I'm lost-for keeps."

His lips had found her mouth and rested there for a brief second, gicnltle, hinder-compelling.

Out of the great vliite sea of silence, a voice sounded.‘ It was an everyday voice, crisp and concise.

She lifted him up in her arms. He was sobbing. not in temper, but in friglfl. "Give me back mymania." he was begging. "My mummy- where is she?"

She had thought she couldn't en- dure any more of these strange ties with her fellow travelers. She had thought slie was despairing, herself. But. "'15 was different.

"My mummy-where is she?’

Where was Lila Ernst? In a hos- pltal-probably awake and looking out. the window at the falling snow. Thinking about her lit-tie boy, tra- veling east with strangers. "Safe journey. Skippy." that's what she would be saying.
