who, by spasmodic action of one
hand, was just contriving to keep
his head above the surface. He was
swallowing great gulps of water with
every movement, and was unques-
tionably on the verge of sinking.
''Stick to it," yelled Rossiter, with
out slackening speed, "I'l be with
you in minute"
One spring took him down upon
the caked mud below the overhaneing
sod, and second carried him waist
deep into the river. Then he struck
out with vigorous strokes. He ap-
preached the exhausted swimmer
cautiously, knowing if he would save
him he must not allow himself to be
caught in his drowning grip. When
just beyond the reach of his arm
he paused. The poor fellow made q
frantic effort to seize hold upon him,
but Rossiter was watchful and easily
eluded his grasp. 1t was like the last
flicker of a dying flame. With a
gasp and gurgle the man gave over
the struggle. Here was Rossiter's op-
portunity, and he was alert to i'm
prove it. AS the sinking bather's
head was disappearing he gave a
powerful forward plunge. Out went
his hand, and his strong fingers were
fastened in mop of soaking hair.
There was but spark of conscious
ness left in the body of the man
when Rossiter jerked his head above
water. He was well-nigh a dead
weight, and his rescuer had no diff
Guilty in whirling him about and
gripping him beneath the armpits.
In this wise he pushed him ashore.

CHAPTER II-Continued.

When his brothers missive had
been handed to him two weeks pre-
vious he had been upon the point of
turning south. Instead he set his
face eastward, not with a definite
idea of falling in with what his
brother had proposed, but with that
possibility in view. Now, after hav-
ing had the past so wildly brought
before him by his unforeseen tarry
in Illica, after having experienced
emotions that he had fancied be-
longed almost totally to a different
environment, he was more strongly
moved than ever thus to challenge
fate.
But the old weakness, the hesi-
fancy, the dislike of responsibility.
fostered by his rowing life was not
lightly to be overcome; so he lay
and debated. Against his undoubted
desire to redeem himself. desire
which was gradually strengthening,
rose the consciousness of former
failure, and also the undeniable fas-
cination his present existence had
come to have for him. Half an hour
slipped away, an hour, and it was
mid-morning. The heat increased,
and the reclining man grew drowsy.
Vaguely, as in dream, he marked
two figures cross his angle of vision
and follow the river bank to q point
not many rods from where he was
lr,
to divest themselves of their clothes,
commented to himself that they were
going for a swim, and here his
scarcely aroused curiosity ceased
He closed his eyes and presently lost
consciousness. Twenty minutes had
elapsed when a scream rent the quiet
air, sharp, boyish cry of terror.
At the second outcry, louder and
shriller than the first, Rossiter sat
up. naked form was leaping Wild
ly about upon the river bank, with
one terrified shrek after another. 10
Rossiter's ears the shouts now re.
solved themselves into
Help! help"
Inc awakened man was on his feet
in an instant. In such an emergency
as this his habitual indecision did
not show itself. Off went his cap,
coat and shoes, and away he sprang
over the sward towards the dis
traught figure. He was naturally
feet of foot and his muscles were
hard from hundreds of leagues of
tramping.
The youth, for such Rossiter saw
the shouter to be, grew more frantic
as he realized that aid was approach
ing, turning first towards the stream
and then in the direction from which
assistance was coming.
"Oh, quick! be quick!" he cried,
but now his voice seemed to fail
him, and he did little more than ut
ter series of incoherent sounds.
Once within view of the river, Ros-
sitter was not slow to grasp the sit
uation. In mid-stream was bather,

Innovations and His Cheer.
full Conclusion.

In machinery Ruskin saw only uL-
loveliness. Much may be said in de-
tense of his point of view, but some
thing also may be conceded to the
point of view of the plain person who
believes that the world is pretty well
ordered, after all. Such a plain per-
son IS Joshua Jimson, whose large,
if not very closely reasoned, views
were recently set forth in the col
umns of the Chicago Record-Herald.
II used to tremble,' said Mr.. JIM
son, "eve9y time I heard of another
invention. First there was the now
ing-machine. Thinks L: 'Good-by to
the poor boys that have been making
a living working on the FARMS But
can't see IS it ever made any differ
ence so far as needing help is con-
cerned.
"Then we got the reapers and
binders and these thrashing-ma-
chimes that do the whole thing al
once. Well, when they began to
come along I says:
"'This is the end of it for the
farmland. He may as well go away
somewhere and lie down and die.
There isn't any use for him any
more But farmhands seem about
as scarce as ever, and mebbe a lit
tie more so. So I've just made up my
mind that I am not going to worry
any more about it. Let the inventors
keep on inventing all they please. l
guess there'll. be sunthing for the
rest of us to do, no matter how
many patent rights they keep get
ting out.
'Why, look at those automobiles!
When they first got to racing round,
Judd Hawkins says to me: JOSH
says he, 4 guess this is going to
end it.
"'How sol? says I.
"'When they get to running wag-
ons without horses, they won't need
hay or OATS says he, 'and those
are the things where the farmer
makes most of his money, because
they're the easiest to raise
Don't you worry says 1. You
just wait and see what happens
Sand now look at it!" continued
Mr.. Jimson. "Here they've got so
many automobiles and electric things
kiting round you wouldn't hardly
think the horses could keep from
feeling lonesome, specially in the
cities, but oats are higher'n I ever
heard of 'em being before.
'You can't make me believe that
God Almighty is going to let a few
inventors down here upset His whole
calculations, and leave lot O. stuff
lying round useless to spoil, so I'm
not going to WORRY about it again."
