Excerpt from The White Darkness, and Other Stories of the Great Northwest

The afternoon light faded gradually till the tall pines cast no shadows, and the white landscape was gray. Whist ling faintly, the wind swayed the forest branches to and fro, now in long sweeps with strong puffs, then in short bowings. The leaden sky was dark and low, cold and repellent.

Laflin filled his pipe slowly at the door of the N. W. M. P. Post, Onion Lake, his home. "Looks like snow," he muttered, his eyes roaming over the long distances beyond the forests. Little by little the pipe was filled; he lighted a match. Puff-puff, "I don't suppose (puff) that Jake will (puff) get back to-night (puff-puff-puff). Anyhow, 'I'll have supper by'n'by and take a run over to the Store." He stood there smoking quietly. Then the flakes of white came; dropping one by one at first, then falling in silent quantities, finally coming down in eddying and pirouetting myriads.
