dismay.
But Kent was already slipping a
moose beneath the grandmother's arms.
Help, Beulah," he cried, grasping
the other end of the rope and pulling
downward with a. will.
Mildly struggling, grasping for
breath, grandmother Mayne was drawn
up until her head appeared above the
bough that the rope crossed.
Then Kent took "a check, as boat
men call it, around the tree, and left
the rope in Beulah's hands.
Pull you best" he said, as he climb
ed the tree to help Mrs. Mayne to Sc
cure seat in the forks.
Send up the blankets next" he
cried; the lantern followed and the rope
came down the last time.

hold tight to the rope" said Kent;

Beulah Cbeyed him, and throwing the
end of the rope over limb above his
head, he pulled downward steadily I'M
til she could grasp the supporting
branches.
Brave little thing that she was, she
did not tell them then, that the water
was running over her feet, when the
rope came down the last time
With her grandmother closely wrap
ped in blankets, Beulah sat close to her
and waited in silence. Suddenly she
gave little cry.
What is it?" asked Kent, startled.

window; the water is running through

broke again last night, and when
found him he was nearly smothered in
the bed and the blankets
"A mischievous CLEAN shot from
Kent's brown eyes, for Grandfather
Hopkins was certainly fat.
His mother held a square blue sugar
bowl in her hand, from which she was
picking out some small silver coins.
And some nutmegs; you might as
well get them to-day
Yes, mother" answered Kent; but
he watched her with growing anxiety
as she seemed making an effort to re-
member something.
With inward relief he received the
silver coins with no other commissions
s and went gaily away on his errand. His
mother watched him as he disappear
ed down the road to the river.
He will get there all right, and be
back in good time she said aloud;
'sbut where he may be, or what he may
be doing, in the meantime, nobody
knows
She did not dream that her words
were prophetic. Alert, observant,
quick to think, almost as quick to act,
Kent seemed always meeting with adj
ventures that passed his boy compan-
ions by. Now it was stopping run
away team, and again pulling a strug
Cling child out of the water; but, the
necessity for action past, no one could
speak more lightly of the matter than
Kent.
On this sultry summer afternoon he
soon reached his destination, the coun-
try village, and then his feet seemed
to take him of their own accord to the
grist mill, where the water pouring
over the dam, the ceaseless turning of
the great wheel, and the whirr of ma
chinery possessed peculiar fascination
for him.
To-day, however, he was not to en-
Joy them long, for the miller saw him,
and said:
'Hallo, Kent, I am glad to see you,
for Bob needs a hand to help bring in
that wagon load of wheat, and l am
busy; will you do it?"
Kent went to the task very willingly,
for the miller always paid well for such
help; but when the last sack of grain
had been carried in it was late, and he
turned homeward. At the store one
more demand was made upon his good
nature
"Could you carry a package to the
Widow Mayne?" asked the storekeeper
rs Kent was Tearing. 1T should have
been sent last week, but l have seen
no one from up your way
With good-humored assent the boy
took the parcel ard went his way with
out further hindranee. When he reach

grandfatber's Farm Joined the river

whether to go a city home, and defer
carrying the Widow Maynes parcel to
her until the next day, or to take it to
her at once, and hasten home by near
path across the HILL
II he did the latter he would certainly
be late in getting home, but Mrs.
Mayne might need some of the things
the parcel contained, and this consid-
eration determined him, so he held on
his way along the river.
Only the necessity for speed made
him hasten, for an unwonted lassitude
oppressed him. The stiffness was in
tense; the leaves hung without a breath
of air to move them.
But Kent's gaze soon became fixed
above, rather than around him. From
porth and south black clouds appeared

highway preserved intact, and they
wanted the bridge as well, and they
told the engineer that he could take the
puzzle home with him to solve it, or re-
sign in favor of more ingenious man.
The engineer brought the solution
down to the officials the next day, and
they at once sanctioned the construc-
ton of the remarkable bridge shown
in the cut. The inclined road is there,
but instead of going straight ahead

waited on pillars that increase in height
as the bridge rises until the level of
the span is reached. Passengers on
foot and travellers in vehicles wind
around spiral roadway, first going to-
ward the river, and then turning their
backs to it, and then facing around to-
ward it again, until at last they find
themselves on the bridge proper. Until
the cyclone came along and signifed
its disapproval of the freak structure
by demolishing it, the bridge had serv-
ed well the needs Of the people Of Has

The Remington has been in the Phil

having been ordered there from Homo

She is commanded by Capt. Tausslg,
and it was under his command that
the vessel stopped at Guam on the way
from Honolulu to Manila and estab-
lished the authority OF the United
States in the island
1t is evident from Admiral Dewey s
message that no serious damage has
been sustained by the vessel and that
II will only be necessary to replace the
injured bottom plates.
There being no dock at Cavite, in
which Il vessel OF her size can be re-
paired, 1t became necessary to send her
