A Tale of the Snow (1912)
Alice Mason was as pretty a loss as could be found in the Northwest, and albeit her mother was sour and shrewish, she begot her attractiveness from her father, big, bluff, good-natured Jerrold Mason. Upon Alice Mason, Walter Burk, big of frame and handsome, had long cast sheepish eyes. This was to the liking of her mother, who had long wanted her married off and away, but Alice had not given it a thought. So, one day when Walter, presuming on his good standing with the old lady, caught hold of Alice and kissed her, he wasn't prepared for the resounding smack across the mouth bestowed by Alice. He, maddened for the moment, then felt ashamed and asked her pardon, and left, downhearted. By a mischance blow, Jerrold Mason cut an ugly gash in his foot while chopping a tree, knee-deep in the snow. Greatly in pain, he started for home with great difficulty. His appeals for help came to the ears of his wife and daughter, and they bravely set out to find him, exhausted, and drag him to the cabin. Then Alice ran for assistance, the assistance of Walter Burk, but the poor girl sank exhausted in a deep gully, to which kind providence directed the footsteps of Walter. She was carried by him safely to his cabin to recuperate, when a greater calamity overtook them. A mountain of snow overwhelmed the cabin. Through this snow Walter started at once to tunnel, Alice bravely and resolutely coming to his assistance. At last sunlight burst through upon their efforts and they went forth to continue the journey, knitted closer together by the bonds wrought in their common danger. The father was suffering on his cot, administered to by his faithful wife, whose tongue, after all, was her only fault. But he cried in his agony for his daughter, while the mother also cast anxious glances toward the door. At last both watchers were rewarded, as Alice burst in and threw her arms around the neck of her father, which brightened him up amazingly. Walter kneeled and examined the injured limb, and Alice, kneeling also, unconsciously encircles Walter's neck with her arm, the father smiling approvingly.
