been sent to limbo. for his master was

he had done anything heroic. or anything
| that another man in the same position
might not have done equally well; but
the sudden plunge into the cold water
and the excitement of the rescue. COM
bined with three days of enforced absti-
nence, had created in him thirst that
was unparalleled. He had saved the
squre's daughter, and the squire was
rich He did not want thanks, but he
did want the squre's money, money to
bring him the whisky which his inmost
soul craved.
The motive was not heroic one; but
it was a natural one, from Jack Hastings
point of view.
The squire was standing on the door
step, looking anxiously about him, as
Jack neared the house. His forid face
was pale. and he fingered his massive
watch chain nervously; but he came
forward to meet his child's celiverer, and,
extending podgy hand in welcome, ex-
claimed, so this is the brave fellow
who saved my little daughter-for she
lives, thank God. she lves,''
Jack bit his lip under his slight mus
tache, to keep back the wicked mirth,
and answered gravely, Il am glad to hear
it, sir
Yes. she lives, thank Godi" he repeat

about in a golden haze of unreality. half
even the halcyon days of childhood may
return.
Hastings had not been long in that Mir
vana of reverie before he was startled
into consciousness by cry. What could
it be? He sat up and rubbed his eyes in
a dazed way, then he sprang to his feet
and looked eagerly about him. Again
the cry rang out, the agonized cry of a
drowning child. There was not a mo-
ment to lose. Jack threw OFF his coat and
unhesitatingly plunged into the river
which, with greedy haste, was bearing
away a little form. He was a powerful
swimmer: college days had taught him
that among other things. He took long,
clean strokes, and his strong lungs kept
him in breath. He threw back his head
like 4 huge water dog. and, striking out
with all his force, gained on the child,
caught her by her skirt and then, by a
prodigious effort, swung himself out of
the current and faced the shore.
1t was all done cleverly and cool1y, in
the space of 4 few minutes and without
the cclat of a watching crowd; for Squire
Hancock, the child's father, who stood
painting on the bank, was the only spec
tator. He watched the pair with eyes
that bulged with terror. He snatched
the unconscious, dripping bundle from
its deliverer's hands. and moaning. MY
God, She is dead. my child is dead"
carried her away to the house.
Jack shook himself, wrung some O. the
water from his clothing and then leisure
ly followed. 1t did not occur to him that
