A Man to the Rescue !
The Woman in Peril Rarely Finds
Help From Her Own Sex.

1t is in no wise to a woman's discredit
that she is not professional life-saver.
We can only fancy her in the ireman's
helmet, in the crew of the life-boat, or
welding policeman's club, at the loss
of some of that fneness which is the
distinguishing quality of her sex. The
Molly Pitchers and Grace Darlings are
only examples of the sublime self-for-
getfulness of women in great emer-
gencies.
It's much the same in other ways.
Women turn to the strength, skill and
judgment of men in the crises of life

an excellent float for Il raft
Calling on the men who were stand
ing on the river bank to come and help
him, he ran to the barn, telling them
on the way what he wished to do.
Willing hands carried the tank to the
edge Of the water, and others lifted
one Of the wide barn doors from its
hinges. This door they spiked secure
~ on the top of the tank. and with a
few strokes Of an AK Mcdonald made
| a rude oar from plank. This oar he
| fastened to the end of the raft with a
rope. and. taking with him the Ian
tern with which the farmer had been
lighting him Mt his work, he got aboard
his strange craft and was pushed out
into the stream. With his heavy oar
which he used chiefly as a rudder. he
worked his raft out into the current
which bore it toward the Lucas house
Mr.. Lucas also had lantern. and as
he saw that rescue was coming he
waved it frantically. Calculating his
direction to nicely and fighting the
unfamiliar currents with the skill Of 9
raftsman and the strength of giant
Mcdonald forced the angry water t.
drive him straight toward his destina
ton. The raft struck the house square
". and as 1t did the building yielded
perceptibly and tottered to its founda
ton. Realizing the danger. Lucas
grasped Olive and hurled her forward
upon the barn door, where Mcdonald
who had forsaken his oar for mo
ment caught her and laid her in safe
ty. As Lucas followed with his wifi
in his arms the roof seemed to sill
