THE MOVING PICTURE GIRLS SNOWBOUND
CHAPTER I TROUBLE
"Daddy is late; isn't he, Ruth?" asked Alice DeVere of her sister, as
she looked up from her sewing. "A little," answered the girl addressed, a tall, fair maid, with deep
blue eyes, in the depths of which hidden meaning seemed to lie, awaiting
discovery by someone. "A little!" exclaimed Alice, who was rather plump, and whose dark brown
hair and eyes were in pleasing contrast to her sister's fairness. "Why,
he's more than an hour late, and he's seldom that! He promised to be
back from the moving picture studio at four, and now it's after five." "I know, dear, but you remember he said he had many things to talk over

thought at first it was. No, I don't mean that it was his voice, Alice.
That really seems better since he so suddenly became hoarse, and had to
take up moving picture work instead of the legitimate drama he loves so
much. It is some other trouble, Alice." "I hadn't noticed it, I confess. But I suppose you'll say that I'm so
flighty I never notice anything." "I never called you flighty, dear. You are of a lively disposition,
that's all." "And you are a wee bit too much the other way, sister mine!" And then,
to take any sting out of the words, Alice rose from her chair with a
