THE YOUNG LADY LIFTED HIS HEAD AND HELD

asked the lady, with a hauteur that
under the circumstances was positively
pathetic.
mo; fly for your lives" said the con-
ductor, for even as he spoke he saw a
couple of men riding under the apple
trees.
The women saw them, too, and
throwing on whatever lay in reach in
the way Of wraps, hurried over to the
train. The old negress, still telling her
story, went with the two women and
helped them into the caboCse. Now the
TWO robbers who had ridden through
the orchard saw the trainmen, and i'm
mediately opened fire The conductor
and the brakeman, walking backward
kept the desperadoes back, killing one
of their horses. Just as the trainmen
reached the caibOose the conductor was
shot and fell near the rail. The rest
: of the band had come to the rescue
of their comrades, and now the lead
/ was raining upon the side of the car.
! The brakeman. having dropped his
! gun, stopped to lift the conductor
aboard, but he could not do it. Now
! this delicate young daughter of the
! south, seeing the danger in which these
men, her enemies, had voluntarily
! placed themselves for her sake and
/ her mothers, leaped TO the ground, and
with her white hands that had never
lifted anything heavier than a riding
whip, helped the brakeman to lift the
limp form of the conductor into the
car, While the bullets rained around
! her. When they had laid him upon the
| locker the young lady lifted his head
and held it in her lap, and so, as the
! engine backed away, the brave con-
ductor died.

THE morning of the day following
Strole's death, White repaired his craft
and pushed into the treacherous cur
rent. The sun looked into those pro-
found depths for but one hour in the
a, then left him to the gathered shad-
oWs. Now and then the raft shot past
side canyons, bleak and forbidding, like
cells set in the walls of a mighty pri-
son. On went the raft, with no living
thing in sight. for these profound
depths were never stirred by the wings
of bird, and hitherto no human being
had ever gone through them and lived
to tell the tale.
white had gold, but no food. For As
hours he stood the hunger without
great suffering, but after that the tor
ture caused by want of food was inces-
SAINT. Again and again his raft broke
up, and he had barely the strength Il
keep the logs together.
con the fourth afternoon since he
had had food, the canyon widened out

and he saw bushes. He made the shore
and ate the leaves and the spiral pods
OF the meZQuite bean.
He found these mezquite bushes at
intervals, and their beans, or green
nuts, no doubt afforded some nutrition.
The mans clothes were torn to shreds,
and the skin began to peel from his
face, hands and feet, yet he never gave
up, though it seemed that the tower
ing walls would never end.
AT length, and after he had been Is
DAYS in the canyons depths. Whites
reason tottered, and he lay helplessly
and hopelessly on the raft.
How long he remained unconscious
White did not know; he could only re-
call that he no longer suffered, for he
had lost his love of life and his fear of
death.
Just II days from the time he started
on this forced voyage, White heard the
splash of oars and encouraging cheers.
He was too weak to raise his head. In
short time he saw many bearded
faces looking down on him in pity. He
had passed through the great canyon.
and had drifted to Callville, q Mormon
settlement at the mouth of the Virgin
river.
