"Have you another roper" she called
out.
"Yes.-
"Then tie 1T around yourself and let
them drag you in. You cannot make
headway against the tide and the
waves.
At first, Henry Tracy was proudly
unwilling to be assisted by the rope,
but was soon obliged to do so, for he
found that she was right. Though
Louise's movements were greatly as
sisted by the ropes, she found her
strength fast giving way. BY the time
she was little more than two-thirds of
the distance in she tossed her arm as
signal for them to pull; and pull they

Mr.. Tracy was in before her. He
urged the men to pull harder, and was
restrasned from plungIng in again only
by the strong seamen.
"She is under water-shs will surely
drownl' he exclaimed.
"Can't be helped" answered the
men, 'rrhe quicker she comes In the
better"
Faster and faster she was pulled in;
all that fearful way she was under
water. Those who brought her ashore
found her holding the child so that his
head might be above the surface.

worked hour after hour, pouring stimu-

her eyes and look about inquiringly.
''She is looking for the child" said
/ Mt. Winslow HE is all right,

none the worse for his bath"
This satisfied her, and she lay back
upon the pillow. In little while she

country. All through her illness Henry
Tracy had paid her every attention,

veranda- He had a letter in his hand.
They were silent for long time, when
Henry broke the silence.

the city again In a few days, as one of
my clients has written for me.
"How provokingl" answered Louise.
Another silence ensued after this.
Louise, do you remember the day
you saved the child? Since that time
1 have loved you sincerely. When We
first met you awakened new hope in
my heart, and infused a greater ambi-
tion into my life. l have been pining
to know if this affection is returned by
you" He put his arm around her
waist and drew her closer to him.
"Only say that you will be mine"
a bright flush suffused her face, and
she was silent. In that short time
what emotions filed her breast, and
what thoughts passed through her
mindl He clasped her in his arms and
imprinted a kiss upon her brow She
nestled closely to him, and the answer
