Jim had had a right to be sur prised When she told him she was going to the New Year’s Eve square dance with Dick. “But you hadn’t asked me to go with you, Jim,” she had said de fensively. “I just took it for granted, and thought you did too, Emily,” he said slowiy. “You know we’ve been partying together all this year un til this dude came,out for his win ter vacation.” “Happy, baby?” Dick brought her back to the present as he patted her knee. / Emily edged away a little, and admitted, “This is fun.” “So much fun,” Dick agreed, “that it’s going to be over too soon. And I don’t think this kind of a New Year’s party will be too ex citing anyway. Let’s do a little stalling somewhere.” “There’s no place to stall along here,” Emily laughed. “There isn’t a decent side road in twenty miles.” “How about these wheel tracks I see trailing off into the sand once in a while?” Dick asked. “Oh, they lead to mines over in the canyons, or homesteads back in the foothills. But they’re not meant for low-slung cars like this.” “Here’s one that’s more distinct than the others,” Dick said, slow ing down. “It goes about four miles over to a dry lake bed,” Emily said, “where some of the fellows race their cars on week-ends.” . “Say, let’s try it,” Dick said. “This bus is no hot-rod, but it can really roll just the same when you let it all out.” “I guess we will make it,” Emily said a few minutes later, as they rounded a little curve. “As long as you keep moving fast in these ruts you’re fairly safe. It’s only when you stop—” T HE CAR SLOWED almost to a stop, and they could feel the wheels beginning to spin in the soft “Now you’ve really done IC Emily groaned. “Don’t you worry, little girl,' rr~ Dick said smoothly. He pressed his foot down on the accelerator; the motor roared mag nificently, the wheels spun around gloriously, but the car didn’t move forward an inch. s ‘We’re only sinking in deeper,” Emily warned. “You’d better just quit and get out the shovel.” “What shovel?’ Dick snapped. Emily, staring at him, suddenly realized just how much of a dude he was. “There’s nothing to do but relax and wait ’til somebody sees our headlights, and comes to freedom to live and worship according to our own individual beliefs. - There are many other blessings for which to be thankful. Just look around. These blessings make Christmas a more happy one. Cares are forgotten as we reverently pause to acknowledge the manifold blessings that are ours to enjoy. Let us be grateful.

A frigid hour, later they saw, across the desert flats, the lights of a car turn off the highway and start towards them. Emily had a shivery feeling as to whom it might be, and sure enough, it was Jim, whizzing up in the old jeep, a frown on his usually happy-go- lucky face. “Everybody’s missed you,” he growled. “I just wondered if some thing like this hadn’t happened.” ‘Oh, Jim, am I glad to see you!” Emily exclaimed, relief overcom ing her embarrassment. And then she couldn’t resist asking sweetly a§ she glared at Dick, “Do ybu have a shovel with you? Dick didn’t hap pen to bring his tonight.” Jim looked at her quickly, and his face relaxed into a big grin. “At your service. Ma’am,” he laughed and swept off his ten gal lon hat. Emily hopped out of the con vertible and into the jeep. “When you’re ready with the rope. I’ll give this baby the gun,” she said as she patted the old steering wheel lovingly. “We’ve got to get him out of here before we go back te the party.” mm M’ MIRACLE . . .
