SPECIAL s ALI
Passaic City record., 1891-01-01

and then he saw clearly the house was
not there. By determined effort he
turned and walked slowly back and for
ward few times, for he realized that
before all things it was necessary for
him to be cool and to show level head.
Then he looked out before him.
The food of water was nearly quar-
ter of a mile wide. 1t had evidently
destroyed the greater part of the village,
and although there was no longer a tor
rent, yet the current was very swift. To
reach the place where the Davis house
stood Will Fosdick would have had to
cross the water, and this, as there was
not boat in the village, was impossi-
BILE. There was chance, perhaps, to
cross about five miles down, where the
valley narrowed to the Needles, two
great spires of rock which had had
bridge thrown across between them for
the use of two mines, one on either side,
and Will Fosdick started as rapidly as
he could walk. 1t was dreary trip,
with evidences on every side OF the
awful destruction which had been
wrought by the water. He came across
the body of man, the skull smashed in,
which had been left on the ground by
the first great wave, and with shudder
recognized it as that of Mr.. Brooks, the
superintendent of the Star of the West.
He paused long enough to cover 1t with
stones so the coyotes could not get at 1t.
About mile from the Needles, as
Will Fosdick was picking his way among
the stones which covered the ground. he
heard sound as though some one were
sobbing. He halted and listened. There
could be no doubt that it was woman
CRYING. In his intense desire to search
for Mr.. Davis house he may be pardoned
if he hesitated for a moment before go
ing to the rescue. He thought of Chloe;
he was thinking of nothing else, and it
seemed to drive him wild-the uncer-
tainty about her fate. Only for mo-
ment, though, did he pause, for Will Fos-
dick was a man before all else, and then
turning he made his way down to the
waters edge. There, about hundred
yards out were two rocks, between
which somo fencing or wreckage OF
some kind had wedged, and clinging to
the wood was a woman. Will Fosdick
looked and wondered If it could be done.
1t was only hundred yards, but it was
a terrible job. The brown water rolled
swiftly by at his feet, and down the
swirling stream came logs and boards
and furniture, making the way almost
impossible. If the woman was to be
saved there was no time to be lost.
Running up the bank three hundred
yards Will Fosdick threw off his coat
Passaic City record., 1891-01-01

The village was built IN long, sIrag-
Cling line down the narrow valley be-
tween the hills. Here and there on the
hillsides were the mills in which the ore
was worked, and winding like great
yellow snake the stage road ran back
and forward until it ended at "Carter's,
the universal store, saloon and hotel,
which might have been called the center
of the place. At the head of the valley
was the dam built by the mining COM
panies in partnership, which stored up
the water used in the mills and which
the shrewdest of the engineers about
Gainesville did not believe particularly
safe. The house occupied by Mr.. Davis
was in the lower part of the village, built
of wood like Tie rest, and was a pretty
place to look at in summer, with the
flowers in front, which Miss Chloe had
raised with SO much care.
For ten days past the rains had been
heavier than any man remembered to
have seen, and the gullies, which were
dry during the summer months, were
now miniature torrents. The dam was
full, and the wasteway at one side was
open wide, while down between its rocky
walls the water rushed night and day.
And during all that week it rained,
rained, rained, until people became seri-
ously alarmed over the possible outcome.
In the mean time Will FosdicA saw
Chloe Davis three times. He would
have seen her more had it been possible,
for certainly there was no lack of desire
on his part. Each time he resolved to
put his fate to the question, but each
time he came away without having done
so, and then spent an hour reviling his
own timidity, which seemed to tie his
tongue just when he wanted to speak.
And Miss Chloe! Miss Chloe's pretty
eyes sparkled as sho laughed in her mu-
sical fashion over her own thoughts.
Miss Chloe was not afraid, for she knew.
New Years day came on Wednesday
in 1890, and in the afternoon about 3
o'clock Will Fosdick came out of the
laboratory of the Star of the West and
looked, as usual, down the valley to
where the Davis house stood. He could
see the figure of girl standing in front,
and he wondered whether he would have
a chance that evening, and if he had it
whether he would have sand enough to
take advantage of it. And as he stood
he heard in the clear, pure air peculiar
noise, and turning he saw about half a
mile away a fearful sight.
The great dam was covered with
wave of brown water pouring over the
top. AS he looked this seemed to sink
down for second, then rise again, and
rolling mass of water swept down the
narrow valley. The houses in its path
went down like grass before gale amid
the shrieks and cries of the people.
Fosdick himself was at height which
made him safe, and he stood for a min
ute or two like one in dream, pinching

tion. eyes, a week from tonight" re-
sponded Miss Chloe Davis, with smile.
ssKitty and Sam will be there, and father
says his old friend, the bishop, will come
to us. We won't have a large party,
but we will try and have a good time"
81 am sure to enjoy myself" said Mr..
Fosdick meaningly, "when"-
81 know, when Kitty is there! But
then Kitty
ssKitty be blessedr' said her compan-
ion quickly.
"Why, Mr.. Fosdick! and your own
cousin, toov'
ssOh, she's mighty good girl, Of
course: no one can say anything but
that; but wasn't thinking of her just
then"
'Really I must be going home" said
Miss Chloe hastily. Mother will be
sure to want me. do hope the weather
will clear up before New Years. This
rain has lasted about as long as it's
pleasant"
Eyes, that's true. The water is very
high in the dam now, and, although we
draw off all we can, I'm afraid they're
getting too much of it,
"There's no danger, is there?" asked
the girl, her face slightly paling as she
spoke 'Father has always been afraid
of it, you know"
"No; do not think there is. However,
l guess it'll come out all right, Miss
Chloe, THAT is, you'll mean" and
Will Fosdick stopped.
The girl hurriedly broke in: "Mr. Fos-
dick, l must CO. Good-by, and don't
forget!' and with wave Of her hand
she disappeared around corner of the
path.
The little village of Gainesville, in
Colorado, had grown and prospered on
the mines which made the hills around
it treasure houses. Mr. Davis, the father
of pretty, dark eyed 18-year-old Chloe,
was the superintendent of Southern
Belle, and tall, fair haired Will Fos-
dick was the assayer at the Star OF the
West. Common interests in their work
had brought the two men together in the
first place, but, SO far as the younger was
concerned, he soon found a reason to
call on the Davises which had nothing to
do with the character of the ore in the
200 feet level. To state it briefly, he was
as desperately in love as man could
well be, but so far he was obliged to
confess with many an inward sigh that
he did not know if the girl cared for
him. She was always pleasant, always
apparently glad to see him, but he had
never been able to bring matters to
point, often as he had tried His own
shyness and his real belief that she was
so much better than himself had made
him stammer and pause until she es-
capped as she had that day.

himself to make sure he was awake. It
was all so horrible! He saw man he
knew well-Jack Carter-start to run
up the hillside, but the brown monster
caught him and swept him down.
For the part of a second Fosdick saw
tlsm thrown into wild heap, and then
the food passed over them. The water
struck Carriers store, which stood for a
moment, rose bodily and foated, turn
ing and swaying as though with hide
ous drunkenness. Then it srruck against
an ore house and seemed to crumble
