Emmelina shot along In front of him.
Her skirts were gathered up in q rough
bunch under one arm, her bonnet hung
down her back by the strings, her
glasses tumbled off, her hair wabbled
about and fell in gray mass over her
shoulders.
Jack knew himself to be no mean
swimmer, but the skirts tangled his
feet and the tight jacket held his arms.
The squatter was only few yards be-
hind. Jack struck out wildly and made
rapid pace. But somebody seized him
under the arms and he struggled for
moment to free himself from the jacket.
It was one of the officers, . better
swimmer than either of them.
MY dear 49, madame" he painted,
holding him in a firm grip and trying
to swim back with him, put your hand
on my arm-so."
"D1pwn your grandmother" splut'
tered Jack. swallowing a pint of water,
as he freed himself. Cant yousee who
lamp"
The squatter was ahead Of him. He
trod water for q second and flung on
the jacket that bound his arms.
He gained on the squatter. He re-
ceived the splash from his circling boots
full in the face, and the temptation for
water leap-frog was too strong to be re-
sisted.
He trod water again, came up behind
his enemy, planted his feet on his shout
ders and sent him downward with the
greatest good will and energy. Half
dozen more strokes and he was along.
side Esther.
"Jack-oh, dear Jack-oh, Jack" she
said, Historically, as his wet, beaming
face bobbed up beside her head, that she
was trying to keep flat on the water in
floating position.
Its all right, little girl" he said, re-
assuringly "Everything's all right
now. You're as safe as a church"
There was general roar of laughter
as Jack climbed out and lifted Esther
from the water, little the worse for her
adventure. He had left his bonnet and
his wig and his jacket In the water,
and appeared in white flannel shirt
and long, dripping skirts.
Joan unfastened the hooks and he
kicked them of and stood before them
attired in his boating hannels.
THANK heaven" he said, with pious
fervor. Then an adjournment was made
tor drying purposes to a cottage close
hy, and Esther submitted without pro-
test to the supporting arm Other res
cuer. The rest Of the day was confusion
and merriment, but there were five
white minutes at the end that spread
out afterward over the whole lives Of
two people.
slow can I ever thank you?" Esther
said, and blushed beautifully, for she
knew quite we'll the way she could.
I'm a book" Jack whispered, tho
hero and heroine would be sure to mar
nv after such an adventure and live hap
PLY to the end of their lives"
''Oh!" said Esther.
"And the heroine would be absolutely
certain to reward the hero with 2 kiss"
"After all, it's only Aunt Emnelina,"
she said, with little trembling laugh,
as her lips touched his. Then she fed
away down the garden path after the
others.
He went into the house again, giddy
with his sudden happiness.

dropping the corner of the window

The watering of hens in winter Is
often attended with unsatisfactory re-

the hens are likely to spill the water
by stepping upon the edge of the dish.
The water then freezes if it be the win

AN OBSTACLE.

Twas climbing up mountain pain
With many things to do,
Important business of my own
And other peoples, too.
When I ran against Prejudice
That quite cut of the view.
NV work was such as could not walt,
NV path quite clearly showed.
NY strength and time were limiteoi
I carried quite load.
And there that hulking Prejudice
Sat all across the road.
So spoke to him politely.
For he was huge and high,
And begged that he would move q DIN,
And let me travel by.
He smiled, but as for moving!
He didn't even try.
And then reasoned quietly
With that colossal mule:
NV time was short-no other path
The mountain winds were COOL:
7 argued like q Solomon
He sat there like fool.
Then I few into a passion.
danced and howled and swora
Ipelted and belabored him
Till was sttff and sore:
FIe got as mad as did
But he sat there as before.
And then I begged him on my knees
might be kneeling still
II so hoped to move that mass
OF obdurate ill-wil:
AS we'll invite the monument
To vacate Bunker Hill.
So I sat before him helpless,
In an ecstacy Of woe:
The mountain mists were rising fass,
The sun was sinking slow
When q sudden inspiration came.
AS sudden winds do blow.
I took my hat, took my stick.
My load settled fair.
I approached that awful incubus
With an absent-minded air
And I walked directly through him
AS If he wasn't there!
