lower, and she wondered il the wise
man had made a mistake.
In the mean time Gustavus danced
with one after another of the maids, but
though he watched with intense eager
ness, not once did he feel the strange
thrill for which he waited.
sI have danced with them ALL" he
said at last to himself, ''e1cept that shy
one over there: surely she is not the

He asked her name OF one of the
girls, and then going to her, said sim

"Marie, wilt thou dance with me9'
Advertisement and delight made Marie

"She is not so plain, after ALL"
thought Gustavus, as be answered:
"Wast thou looking for me, Marie3"
Marie hung her head without answer
ing, and G~ustavus, wondering a little at
her words, led her to the dance.
AS he placed his arm around her his
hand touched her shining belt.
Instantly a strange thrill ran through
them both, and Gustavus's arm seemed to
cling to Marie's waist.
"Marie, didst thou feel thatH" he asked
earnestly.

So they began dancing, aud as they
danced It seemed to those watching them
that q wonderful transformation came

He talked about the origin

OF sin,
But present sin, Unjust confess
He never tried to render less,
But used to add, 90 people talk,
His share unto the general stock
But grieved about the origin

He mourned about the origin
OF sin,
But never struggled very long
To rout contemporaneous wrong,
And never lost his sleep, they say,
About the evils OF to-day
But wept about the origin

He sighed about the origin

But showed no fear you could detect
About its ultimate effect;
He deemed it best to use no force,
But let IL run its natural course
But moaued about the origin

them awake, the courageous mother
broke a switch from the tree and with
it whipped them into wakefulness.
Then she fancied that she could hear
her husband calling. What wonder
that she tainted when Frank took her
into the Peerlessi
He had hoped to find men at the sig
nal fire who would take the Peerless
and continue the work of rescuing, but
he did not. Although his strength
was well-nigh exhausted, he left the
Millers in the care of the hospitable
women whom they found on the shore
and turned to cross 10 the other shore.
He found the pull through the cur
rent almost as difficult as before and
had scarcely completed it when he saw
a strange object bearing down upon
him 1t was the wreck of prairie
schooner" and from the walls that
came from it Frank knew it contained
a child. Fragments of its canvas COW
ering were flying from its skeleton
''hoop" arches and the child was
stretching its tiny arms over the edge
of the box.
Frank turned his boat alongside and
snatched out the child and pulled for
the nearest signal fire. His strength
was so nearly gone that he almost
despaired of reaching it, but the pitiful
cries of the child aroused him to n last
effort. He reached the shore to find
the signal fire deserted BY slow de-
grees he drew the Peerless ashore, over
turned her and propped her up Indian
fashion. fronting the fire, and, taking
the child, crawled beneath her. In the
early morning search party found
them, the face of the little baby girl
resting against the lads bare bosom,
both sleeping soundly. To still her
cries for her mothers breast he had
opened his flannel shirt and gathered
her close against his own brave, tender
heart.
Frank, the Peerless and the little waif

Water the specimens thoroughly and
remove to a shady place to prevent too
rapid evaporating.
Before their final disposition the
boxes should be filed with soil level
with the top; boards should then be
placed to form cover and to protect
the ball from fracture, and strong pro-
lection strips nailed across this cover.
Whatever sized boxes are used, they
should be uniform in shape and proper
tionately on the same lines as in the
example here given. Some deep-rooted
specimens will require boxes of greater
depth.
The illustrations herewith show the
style of box best adapted for the re-

up stream-for Rufe lived across the
Kansas line several miles above Frank.
The current of the stream seemed un-
usually strong, but he attributed it to
his own lack of strength. AS he passed
his home he waved his hand and pushed
resolutely on up stream. He was still too
busy with his pleasant speculations to
notice that it was fast growing dark
and that the water of the stream was
rising with fearful rapidity. The first
thing that aroused him to the situation
was the sight of pumpkin as it
bumped against the boat and went
twirling away in the eddies of her
wake.
Never saw that before!" unused
Frank. "Why the water must be rising
at great rate! And how dark it is!
I've half a mind to turn around and go
home, he mentally exclaimed.
He suddenly acquired the lacking half
of his determination to retreat, on see
ing an empty barrel, with Stats nailed
across its open end to convert it into
chiclSen-coop, come bobbing down
towards bim. He knew that this meant
serious trouble and that the water must
be very much higher, miles above, near
the source of the stream, than where he
was.
He faced about and began rowing
down stream. Although the current
was swift, his impatience to reach home
and care for his mother and younger
brothers increased as realization of
their peril grew upon him. He piled
the oars with the strong, regular strokes
of professional oarsman.
But for all his excellent speed, dark
esss began TO close IN about him before
he began to pass the outlines of familiar
landmarks that told him he would soon
be home.
The tall timber which bordered the
stream on either side had been cleared
away opposite his home.
Not until the Peerless had passed out
from between the banks of timber did
Frank realize the height to which the
water had rise j. The banks of the Big
Cana We're so entirely submerged that
he had no difficulty in rowing to the
door of his own home. The door was
open; there was no light burning. No
one answered to his loud shouts.
The water was too high to permit
him to draw his boat through the door
into the house. He bravely assured
himself that their hired man, Chero-
bee half-breed, had taken his mother
and brothers 20 the hills or some other
place of safety. Just then he saw
lights moving about in the upper story
of their nearest neighbor's house, nearly
half Il mile distant.
1t was story and-a-half house and
the most substantial one on the bot
toms. Probably the surrounding neigh
bors had taken refuge there, believing
that it would Withstand the action of
the floods and keep its upper story
above water.
As he rowed towards it, he saw the
red CLEAN of bonfres that had been
kindled along the uplands, as beacon
lights to the fugitives and rescuers.
His heart beat high with suspense as
he pulled his b9at in front Of the house

of the waters. In few minutes the
house had floated free from its founda-
tions. The father swan outside, much
of the time, to see that it was not going
to wreck upon obstacles. After dark
he could not do this, but when it
lodged against an immense pile of drift
wood he clambered out upon that. The
house suddenly disappeared in the
darkness and he was left on the drift.
Again the house lodged. The desperate
mother and the two boys clambered out
into the strong branches of the tree
with which they had collided. They
were scarcely settled against its trunk,
when the roof of the house fell in The
house dislodged and moved on. A large
log next charged it's butt against the
tree What if it should form the nucleus
for collection of driftwood that should
break the tree? She placed her foot
against the log and persistently worked
it loose. Then she discovered that the
boys were nodding. Their forces were
exhausted and they were falling asleep,
to drop into the dark flood below them!

A Troublesome Letter.

There have been many estimable peo-
pie whose great stumbling block has
been orthography, and it has sometimes
proved an insurmountable obstacle.
There was once in eastern Tennessee
a Judge well versed in the law, but en-
tirely self-educated, who had this same
obstacle of photography to contend
with all his life. In early life he had
lived in Knoxville, and for long time
insisted ON spelling the name Noxville.
His friends at last educated him mp to
the point of adding the K; so thorough
ly, in fact, did he learn this lesson that
when, n few years afterward, he re-
moved to Nashville, nothing could pre-
vent him from spelling the name
Knashville.
After few years's residence there
the Judge again moved, this time to
Murfreesboro. One day he sat down to
write his first letter from that place.
He scratched his head in perplexity for
a moment, and finally exclaimed:
''Well, I'll give it up! How in the
world can they spell the name of this
place with a 'K?"-Youth's Companion.
