CHAPTER XIV

BETTER THE END OF A THING"
The flood subsidized quickly, almost
as quickly as it had risen, and
made my way down the canyon in
the track of it, nerveless and horror
shaken. The sun was shining as
brightly as before, and the Sabbath
stiffness was in the air. It seemed
inconceivable that, but few mo-
ments before, the great ravine had
been the scene of tragedy in which
three lives had gone out like match
flares in a tornado. In the basin be-
tween the mountain and the hog
back, fumes, bitches and trail had
disappeared, and the very face of
nature was changed. Where Mac
pherson's placer bar had been there
was now outlying eddy; and new
bar had formed farther down tho
stream.
was obliged to head the northern
gulch to reach the gap in the hog
back, and when the strath of the set
Element came in view scarcely recog-
nized 1t. The tidal wave released by
the orumbling dam had been checked
for an instant by the narrow gap in
the ridge, and its charge upon the
titled lands beyond had been like the
bursting of q second barrier. I can
compare the devastation to nothing
but the track of a crevasse on the
lower Mississippi. Settlers holding,
and the two farms adjoining, were
swept clean, not only of buildings
and fences, but of the very son in the
fields. bitches were gone, boundaries
obliterated, the great barrack below
the engineers camp was demolished,
and as far as the eye could reach
down the valley the main canal was
filled and leveled until It's course
could scarcely be traced. But for
the gathering at the schoolhouse on
the knoll, the loss of life must have
been terrible; and as it was, I could
scarcely hope that the tragedy Of
which I had been an awe-strioken
witness was the only one.
When / topped the shoulder OF the
hog-back the schoolhouse knoll and
the bit of road beyond the flood level
were black with hurrying figures.
Macpherson was the first to meet me
as / picked my way across what, q
few minutes earlier, had been the
Setter infield. His greeting was an
incoherent upbubbling Of thankful
ness, since he had taken it for grant
ed that had been swept away with
the Setter house. There was no time
for explanations, and made none.
Angus told me where to find his
team and blackboard, and, asking me
to look after the women at the

ONCE IS ENOUGH TO SEE

Gustave Dore's portrait Of Dante is worth
seeing-once. But once is enough. Some
such look you notice on the faces of those
who have suffered, and still suffer, much
physical pain; people subject torheumatism,
govt, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumba-
go, or pain from some old lesion. This pain
habit puts its marks on them, as the custom
of handling ropes crooks sailors fingers !;
or as too much riding of bicycle stamps a
worried expression on certain faces. No
