quented. 1t consisted of one
store and a station house on an mex
cusable railroad that had been built
during the railroad craze OF a genera
ton ago.
The o'clock express was pulling
away from the station and plunging
into the darkness of an approaching
thunderstorm. Sam Mcdonald, the
storekeeper, who was also postmaster
and express agent, was standing in his
doorway looking at the slaty curtain
of rain that was rising across the sky
under n fieecy arch of wind cloud. Ev-
cry moment the lightning was becom-
ing more vivid and the thunder claps
sounded nearer. He was on the point
of retreating into the store when the
station master called TO him through
the windy tumult:

"But this has a special order with II
and it's insured" said the station mas

through the first heavy drops of the
storm.
The order says that It Is to be de

both got under shelter. And he handed
little parcel TO Mcdonald.
'Orders or no orders, it isn't going t.
be delivered In storm like this" Nc
Donald growled. Then he lit lamp
for the darkness of midnight had com,
with the storm.
"well. it's no funeral Of mine," sal,
the station agent. "You have the par
eel. and it's your business to look afte
it"
In the meantime Mcdonald looked a
the address and suddenly stood bolt up
right. After a brief pause he put tn
parcel in his pocket and started towar'
the back door which led to the stable.
"Where are you goingf" asked tn
station agent in surprise.

called back with a savage laugh as b
buttoned his coat and plunged out int

seemed almost heroic. As she watched
him tugging at the oar she realized a.
she never had before the force Of the

gave her leisure to doubt If she had

not imagine her soft spoken and white

he said in reply was: :
Il simply did my duty. An express

with orders for it to be delivered at

As he said this-h handed the girl
the little package. She detected the
note of cruel exultation in his voice,
though her parents did not. and she
took the parcel from his hand mechan-
| ically without speaking a word At
this point a couple of farmers who had
been watching the food and had seen
them land with their lantern came
running up. After congratulating them
on their rescue they insisted that they
should go up to the farmhouse and get
dry clothes Although McDonald's er-

the right thing for him to do was to
| return TO his home, he could not resist
the temptation to enjoy his triumph
even further: so he yielded to the i'm

ing her dress in the spare bedroom she
looked at the parcel that Mcdonald
had brought SO heroically and yet 50
ungraciously. Then she tore it open.
When she saw what il contained she
was thrilled with a pleasure that made
her forget her recent danger and
| doubts and decided her as to what she
should do. Returning to the general
room of the house. she. found Mcdonald
standing apart from the others and
noticed instantly the fash of bitter tri
umph in his eyes as he looked at her
Walking directly up to him. she spoke
quietly, so the Others could not hear:
you have saved our lives, and fol
that we can never cease to be grateful
but you did it neither for love mol
through humanity, but for hate and
spite. and for that you shall have your
reward"
Raising her hand, she showed hin
that 1t contained a diamond engage
ment ring. and. looking him fairly In
the eyes with a level glance that told
him that she would rather be lying al
the bottom of the river than to have
received her life at his hands when be

away from him. -

family shopping. the taciturn young
shopkeeper saw a great deal of her
and learned to love her with all the

natural result OF this propinquity was
TO waken responsive feeling In Olive,

heart with sudden vehemence she con-
sented TO be his wife: but, being young,
she insisted on a years delay before
