John handed the lantern to Suzanne and said: "Wait here a moment." "Where are you going, Mr.Scott ?" exclaimed Julie.

"You will not desert us ?" "Never!" He was out of the door in a couple of strides, and then he sprang into the automobile.

He had noticed a small garage back of the lodge and he meant to save the machine, feeling sure that they would have need of it later.

In a few minutes it was safely inside with the door fastened so tightly behind him that no wind could blow it loose, and he was back at the lodge with the wind and snow driving so hard that he opened the door but little, and, slipping in, slammed it shut.

Then he turned the heavy key in the lock, and stared in surprise and pleasure at the room.
It was a great apartment, the heavy log walls adorned with the horns and stuffed heads of wild animals.
