Where did you leave your dad this

HE was standin' by the bedroom
window An the room was all
so full Of water that the chairs were
hoatin' about like ships. An
dad held me up an kissed me lots.
Then he put me in Q bog bath which
hadn't any water in, an told me TO

Der any more. grandad."
With a groan the outcast hurled his
pistol into the water and drew the boy
close 10 him.
''Why, you've hurt yourself. gran
dad!" exclaimed the boy, at sight of
the wound on the breast of els com
panion- you've hurt yourself badly.
an never spoke bout it."

ror.

"'Tain't likelyi"
Daddy did. He saved man from
bein' torn TO pieces In the mill, an lost
his own finger"
The outcast started convulsively.
Lost his finger. did hep he gaspcd,
hoarsely. (which finger was it?r
''The finger that you point with"
"Right hand or left?"
"The hand you don't write with.
Did you ever see dad?"
"only once"
AN did you see his poor finger2"
-. a. 4
"Where did you see him2'
The outcast did not answer.
The raft was travelling more evenly
now, but a quarter of a mile or so
ahead lay long reach of broken
water.
"0ur ship'll never git through that
rapid under n double weight" NUT
tered the outcast keeping his face
averted from the searching glance of
the child. "one of us'll have to quit"
"Are you sayin' your prayers, gran
dad?" asked the boy, innocently.
II wasn't exactly prayin', but I
reckon I'll try IL you'll tell me what to
say"
The child looked up wonderingly. A
great change had come over the rugged
face, which was now bent down eager
ly towards his own.
''Tell me what to say, quick There's
no time TO losei" cried the Terror,
with furtive glance at the rapid
ahead.
"Bless dada and mamma, an make
me n good boy"
"That's no good-for mel Say what
you said afore bout Kingdom come 4"
"Thy Kingdom come, Thy win be
done?"
"Yes, that's better. I've said
IL. Il 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so tightly was roughly withdrawn.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.
"Do you know anythin' about forgiv-
in'?" demanded the man, still crouch
ing by the boys side.
"I'm tryin' TO think, grandad. /.
VIII forgive us our trespasses do?"
"Ayi that's the best prayer Of all.
Anything elseT
81 can't remember no more, gran
dad" said the child with a sob. Don't
kneel like that any longer COS nam
says it's lazy way TO say prayers, an
want you next to me again"
"How do you finish prayer?" asked
the Terror raising himself slightly on
his fingers and toes.

The Terror OF
TankerVil1e
sy oHoRcH n. BEST.

T1HROUGH the mist which hung like
n pail above the waters of an un-
familiar sen, the sun appeared blood
red and angry. In the high valley,
away TO the westward, the pillows OF
n new river were still rushing madly
towards the inundated lowlands in
the wake of the first great wave which
the treacherous wall of "a hillside
reservoir had set free in the darkest
hour before dawn.
In the bed of the River of Death lay
the demolished town Of Tankerville,
it's submerged streets still illuminated
by the glow of n dozen incandescent
lamps, which distorted into weird
shadows the many gruesome objects
that rolled by in an endless procession
just beneath the surface.
And, high on the hillside. the en-
gines of the Generating Station were
still clanking noisily, for the engineer
had long since fed from his post TO
gnze in silent horror upon the strug-
Cling forms which flonted by, in twos
and threes, on the relentless tide be-
low.
In the center Of floating table n
man sat tailor-wise, Rrasping re-
volver in his right hand. His face,
framed by long tangled beard and a
mass Of unkempt hair, was cruel and
repulsiye. His shirt, open ut the front.
showed a newly-innicted wound on the
breast. The human derelict was an
outcast and n felon who had been y,
often described by the police as the
"Tcrror of Tankeryille" that he was
known in the district by no other
name.
The frail raft spun like top on the
eddying tide; but the outcast clunR
tenaciously with his bare feet to the
few yards Of wood which formed the
deck Of his craft, holding the shining
thing IN his hand high above the reach
