whether she is maid or wife. The

symbol of her state of wifehood, and,
indeed, cannot be legally worn till

he drew himself laboriously up the
opposite bank he was breathing heav-

icy current he felt would have been
more than he could have overcome.
For moment he lay painting and
trembling; then rose stiiily to his feet.
In his wet garments he would soon
freeze unless he kept moving.
Far up the slope he could see the
scrub oaks, and among them was
doubtless the cabin. 1t was still miles
away, and would require hard climbing
to reach 1t. But the very exertion Of
such a climb would be the best means
of keeping him from freezing. Up, up
he climbed and erawled, all the time
more slowly and painfully. his gar

his fingers becoming red and blood
stained. But at last he reached. the
scrub, and soon after saw the cabin
in which was the life he was to save.
