what was wanted or for them to tell
him.
"Do you intend to redress the wrong
you have done this girl?" the priest
asked When Mclean could find words
he stammered something about not
being ready and that he would make
matters right in good time.
You will do it now or take the
consequences" was the alternative CIV

asked for time to think the matter
over. The alternative was repeated.
He told them to go ahead; do their
worst. The priest went to the door gave

pounded, the uncle suggested that he
could perform the ceremony. "All
right; do 1t them" was McLean's way

While in the latter city he met and
courted the girl, who lived in Deposit.
When she appealed to him about two

while hundred yards down the road
toward Pittston the white fleece from

FLOODS IN FRANCE.
Rivers Out OF Their Banks and
Much Damage Done.
Many villages Completely Surrounded by
Water-M uch Distress Caused-The
Property Loss WIN BE
Enormous.

Paris, Nov. 2.-The Seine has been
rising for some days and has nov,
reached point that is causing much
alarm. Low-lying structures along its
banks have heen flooded, and much
damage has been done above and 5sloY.
The river Is so full of floating debris
that traffic upon it has been stopped.
Most of the ether rivers in France are
also out of their banks Many of the
villages along the Rhone are complete
ly surrounded by water. At Yalla-
brcques, near Tarascon, the inhabi-
tants have been driven from their
homes by the rising waters and are
camping IN the cemetery, which is stu
ated on high ground. Near Mines, de-
partment of Gard. and Bourg. in the
department of Ain, a number Of bridges
have been swept away. Families liv-
ing on low ground near the Rhone have
taken refuge in the upper stories of
their houses. the lower portions being
inundated. The district northeast az
Mines has suffered extensively. The
bishop of Mines has gone on a boat
TO render what assistance he can TO
the distressed villagers. The inunda-
lions are so extensive that the post
men have to use boats to perform their
labors. The plaiA of Roquemaure is
an immense lake. The water is so deep
that only the tops of the trees are Wis
ible. The roads northeast of Bourge
are impossible. The inhabitants are
terrified, as the foods give promise of
increasing. The six islets of Plot and
Barthelaise, in the Rhone, near Avig-
non, capital of the department of vau-
cluse, are completely submerged. The
inundation is causing much distress
and the property loss win be heavy.
