fired at each other with all the enjoy

rub Broker Eyre's face with snow, and
the two McDonalds, ' Ursa Major' and
his brother, were pelting etch othor lu
front of their bank. To many ot these
men who had been born and ulsed on
Northern farms, the snow was an old
friend, and they Bimply gave themselves
up to the enjoyment of It. The white
fall produced something ot the feeling
whloh comes at Christmas time, a sort
of era of good wishes and kindly memor

drank together who had not been friendly
