A ' bank in front, a tunnel behind yawning darklv like an immense hole cut in while paper, a biting wind and driving biiow, told the tale all too cleaily. 9 Snowed up 1 Not n doubt of it.

But Bertie was deter mined to push on, and, accompanied by two other passengers, be started on his venturous expedition. Once out of the cutting they trusted to be free. Surely the stoppage of .tho line would bo tele graphed by this time, and, perhaps, a tmir. in waiting to ulju theili on. So they stepped' manfully . out, siuking deeply at every step, but still, making progress. The snow had,-ceased ; the sky was clearing fast, and frostly look ing stars peeped out to view the' desolation. The wiiid was bitter ly cold, " Every r.ow and 'Jien tho snow i would bo dashed in their faces, as by haudfuls caught up by- spirit fingers to obstruct their pro gress. For awhile they kept side by side. Struggling against tlfe blast they pressed on till, unknowingly, they mounted the side ot the cut ting and wandered far away across a level field, and over the; distant hedge, covered up with, newly- fallen snow.

No effort- of bis could induce Somnus to pay him a second visit. The chill feel ing he had bt-forq experienced com pelled him to put on his wraps. Ha got up, took a sip of brandy, and went- out upon the platform to have a smoke. As the-train flew along the track, little s-uow storms came up from all the wheels in clouds of powdered dust, i' Berlie was-fascinated. Past sleeping towns a'nd Vvi'lhiges, past black chimneys ] rising into, the inu.ky bkyi from white, unsullied roofs, past' close shut windows, 'neath whose sashes tho yielding ! but restless snow wormed, itself liko tho herring bones and bung outside in snow dissolving flakes for King Frost to weld closer. Past a huddling heap of humanity, beneath tbeshelier of the embank meiit-jOn which the merciless though tenderly falling winding sheet -was surely., wrapped. ' Past all these and iiioiiy.-hiore sights Ldid the Pullniau car -rush and scfearry and yet no tlj.a^train. But teit p witB laid. In a' deep .cutting, the northern wind and drifting clouds conspired to do battle with the boas'.ed power of man. Lie -cldser still, O drift ! Blow fiercer,-still, O wiud ! Y/e wait the daring monster who boasts he ean outstrip tho wind, and rattle wildly o'er the_snow-clad fields. A roar through a tunnel Bertie had again turned ii -tlie train em erged. It slackened spped ; along, deep whistle. The engine stopped short and pushed up a six fool mo'.ind of snosy, melting it for one' brief minute ; the water dashed at its enemy, fire^ and hissed" its vep- .joHUoe in its: burning ears. The fiery foo ; collapsed ; the mighty monster lay imbedded in the drift, harmless as. a fettered giant, but noisy in its protests. Clouds of steamj anxious to be free froAi that fatal putting,'rushed upwards and disappeared, 'or, un able to escape,' felHin warm tear drops on tho virgin snow white carpet. The engineer let the boiler run empty, and sent his.fire man back to the last station. foi assistance. Man was powerjless against tho snow. The soft,; tho gentlesnow !

No a moment more and the dull whirr of the devolving wheels, the even motion of the Pullman cur, all scjriupd to hold him in thrall as he lay there supine on the soft cush ions. Butj this could not last. By slow degrees tho bruin-tesuiued its sway.! He opened his eyes. Thingfe were very dull to him, and the cbldj chili hand of death ap parently; was on hiin. He could not move his head, but as he gazed wiLli dull, half open eyes, the vision-of his love rose up to bid him welcome. Oh, lovely vision ! it came nearer -it would touch him ! yes, it bent down, , and breathing a soft petition fas bis recovery, then, vanished. Whirr whirr. Did lie dream ^till ? No ; voices distinctly fell --upon bis ears. Where was he 1. A Bhrill whistle suddenly , broke the monotonous sound ; the undulating movement of the car he bad felt, or fancied, seemed to cease, ' Hush ]' some one spoke. - Bertie opened his eyes. He was dreaming still. * * " * He lay upon a cushioned berth in a Pullman car. The lamp burned very diiuly overhead. Daylight penetrated the curtains',,' around him. Ho felt very weak and very cold, but he was not dreaming. How- had he got there I What had happened? Where, was the snow ? He called out. A gentleman entered softly. ' Where am IT inquired Bertie faintly. 1 Hush, hush!' quite ,-safe ; do not agitate yourself,'.replied the doctor, as Bartio fancied the now comer to bo. ' Wo have got you round nicely.' - ' But where am I Y persisted Bertie much as "Mr. and Mrs, Patterson.

'What, affd leave. Manchester business. Bat seriously I think you; scarcely fit to1 travel.-. Well, we shall see,' he continued, as Bertie moved his head impatiently. ' We shall cee. Keep quiet/now, and I dare say ycu will bo'well, enough to go to London. Good Tnighul , ' 'Good night.'.';And Bertie re signed himself to Wishful thoughti and happy anticipations for to morrow. Two o'clock was striking at Westminster when Mn Bertie Tyrrell's card was takeii into a private sitting room at the- Hotel. There was only one occupant of the A Man who Never T^old a tie.

Bertie rashly made up - his mind to return in his Hacks, which were plainly discennible, and against the advice of his: comrades he acted upon his resolution. His one idea was to reach Man chester. If he did not succeed in averting the impending crash there, all his prospects would be ruined. His hopes of ever winning his ladv love would be completely shattered, and what, was life without love?
