Ho was gone nnd tho mother watched
with keen anxiety as ho battled affalnst

Once ho tutned hla back to catch his

but finally succeeded in reaching the
two weary traclers. '

"Myra," ho gasped, gazing straight
Into her clear gray middle-aged eyes.

"Wilbur," breathed Mrs. Ecklln.
scatcely bellelng her eyes "I I

"Is my daughter, Una," lie said brief

After a moment'o silence, "If It wero

mured. Over delectable creamed potatoes,
sliced pink ham, hot rolls and coffeo.
Wilbur Norcross told how tho urge to
como Hast had been too strong for
him. In tho fall ho had bouuht a small
farm nt rallsburgh. His sister kept
house whllo Una taught school In the
old Everott district about fle miles
distant.
Myra nodded. Sho had heard nbout
n. Norerosa family moving Into th6
village. "
As tho weather looked premising nnd
as It was Friday night he had started
out to drive Una home. Shortly after
ho left, tho wind roso and In a short
time they found themselves In the

tho wind piling the looso snow Into
hugo Impassable banks. '
Tor three days the travelers wore
olnrni bound In tho mountains. It was
Impossible to shovel out roads until the
wind abated. During this tlmo n, friend
ship and intimacy sprang up, which
rlperted Into something warmer, and
when tho storm han ceased 'ana tno
roads wero open, Myra and Wilbur told
tho children tho snmo old over-new
otory. Yearn ngo they had quarreled,
becntiso Myra refused to llo in the
country
"Huch a silly thing." laughed Mjra
hnpplly, "because I live on a farm

"We'll make It a delightful binding

John looked nt Unit.
"I KUers wo hno something to con
fess, too. It's a pretty short courtship,
but but Cupid linn been flinging his
darts around so lively ho has struck

"The second edition, bound for life,"
murmured Wilbur. Then with boyish
enthusiasm : "Ixst's mako it a double

And so It happened that In a fow
short weeks tho neighbors nodded their
heads and Joyously announced:
"Spring's coming. Tho young will marry,

A SOLEMN
REFERENDUM
If we took a nation-wide
referendum on the question
what is the cleanest, most
nutritious breakfast
cereal in the worlcfthere
is no douht that the verdict
would be in favor of
Shredded Wheat
BiSCUito It is something
more than a breakfast
cereal.lt is a substitute for
meat, eggs andpotatoes for
any meal , much more nutri
tious and costs much less.
Two BiscUits with hot milk make a warm,
nourishing meal at a cost of a few cents -the
most real food for the least money.
Again We Cut the Price!
Here's further convincing proof of how our Producer-to-Consumer Plan
operates to save you money on your grocery bills. t We have shown you, time
and time again, by actual demonstration, how we are able to give you the imme
diate benefit of all changing conditions in the food markets of the world.
We are the connecting link 'betwqen your table and the actual Producers
-the Farmer, the Miller, the Canner, the Packer, etc. For this reason, we are
quick to receive the benefit of all market fluctuations and just as quick to pass
them on to you. We have repeatedly cut the price of eggs in the past "month,
but, notwithstanding this, we are today making another reduction.'
Eggs are splendid body builders, and at this low price, everyone should
eat plenty of them.
