NO, the homestead. and Aunt Dolly
is alone. | have no doubt We met
all the other members of the household
and most of the tenants on their way
to the circus. They often leave her
alone for a whole evening. There is
only one thing for rs to do, is there 2"
Certainly not. Do not regard me
at all Drive as you would if alone"
As he touched the reins to the
horses backs and lifted them again
they shot out into the darkness with
such velocity that but for the even
thud Of the small iron shod feet on
the hard road bed it would have seem
ed as if they flew.
1T is the barn." said the girl pre-
sently. Il can see now"
The house will follow. There is
no help forit There will be no more
Thanksgiving gatherings under the
ancestral roof tree, and all the dear
old relics will be ashes IN the morning.
Here comes the rain. What can L do
for you?"
Nothing. Do not try. Do not think
of me. Go Onn'
As they reached the homestead the
wind was almost tempest, and the
rain was pouring, but with little seem
ing effect of backening the devouring
flames.
Can you hold the horse@
"Yes. Do not lingerr'
The young man knew how to un-
fasten the door and make his way in
to the room where his aunt was almost
frantic with terror at the fury of the
storm and the unusual light that flood
ed her room.
The house will soon be on fire and
| must move you out, Aunt Dolly" he
said.
Not by any means" she cried, Il
suppose you want to have the credit Of
saving my life, but L will die here be-
fore | will allow you to touch me"
Then | must go for help sufficient
to move you IN spite of your resist
ance," and he rushed out to the car
riage.
Il will stay with the poor old wom-
an said Helen, sprlnging to the
ground.
what would your parents say?"
THAT it was right, and that being
in Gods hands l am as safe here as,
anywhere else"
Good by then"
God speed you"
"Who are you?" cried tho old wom-
an as Helen entered the room. What
are you here for? You are as wet as
"a drowned rat" and she caught her by
the sleeve and would not let her move.
If L die here you shall die, too"
she said, with hysterical glee.
God is here" said Helen calmly.
He knows your peril and if he has
anything further for Us to do IN the
world he Will send some one to rescue
u.s."
YOU talk very glibly Of God" said
the woman. Call upon him! Pray
to him. Pray, | tell you! Do you
really believe in God"
i do. 1 am praying to him in my
heart continually"
'What do you mean by having any
thing more to do? l never have don
anything but wrong,

I tell you?"
Certainly, if it is.anything reason
able"
Very well. Push that old writing
desk up where I can reach it, or there
are castors on the bedstead push that

1t took all the strength Helen had
but she was able to obey.
Now" shrieked the old woman,
"help me to sit up and put pillows be
hind me. Look here"
She leaned forward, touched hid
den spring and opening secret
drawer, took out a large old leather
pocket-book.
'..Button this under your jacket" she
said. 1T is waterpr oof, the papers
inside will not be harmed. As soon
as you can, give it to my nephew.
