ror.
Did You get hurt savin' somebody ~
Tain't likely!'
Daddy did. He saved a man from
penn torn to pieces in the mill, an lost
his own finger
The outcast started convulsiveIy.
Lost his finger, did he?v he gasped,
hoarsely. Which finger was it?D

"Only once.''

The outcast did not answer.
The raft was travelling more evenly
now, but q quarter Of a mile or so
ahead lay long reach Of broken
water.
"Our ship'H never git through that

tered the outcast keeping his face
aSerted from the searching glance OF
the child. "One of us'll have to quit. !"
Are you sayin' your prayers, gram
dad?' asked the boy, innocently.
y wasn't exactly prayin', but /
reckon III try if you'll tell me what to
say"
The child looked up wonderingly. A
great change hadcome over the rugged
face, which was now bent down eager
~ towards his own.
Tell me what to say, quick! There's
no time to losel's cried the Terror,
with furtive glance at the rapid
ahead.
Bless dada and mamma, an make
me a good boy.
That's no good--for me! Say what
you said afore bout 'Kingdom come !"
"Thy Kingdom come, Thy VIII be
done?'
Eyes, that's better. I've said
it. Is there anything else? Anythin'
about forgiving?"'
The boy looked up with an express
sion of real terror on his face, for the
words were spoken with fierce earnest
ness, and the arm which had held him
SO tightly was roughly withdrawn.
The outcast crouched down beside
him in the attitude of wild animal
ready to spring.
ssDo you know anythin' about forgiv-
in'?" demanded the man, still crouch
ing by the boys side.
sI'm tryin' to think, grandad. !.
