Cling in the water, who slipped back
as often as he attempted to climb out.
The chill of the pool, fed by mountain
springs, evidently was eXhausting him,
for his movements were becoming
weaker. Miss Elliot took in the stu
alton at glance and acted upon it in
stantly.
Keep up! I'll help your she called
and ran swiftly down the bank to the
point where the young man was des-
perately treading water to keep him
self on the surface. Casting about in
search of something with which to aid
him, her eye fell upon a small dry
branch lying on the ground. She caught
it up and after testing it's strength to
make sure that 1t would bear his weight
extended one end to him, crying:
''Now catch hold and hang on"
The swimmer obeyed silently; he had
no breath left for words. Elizabeth
braced her feet behind projecting
rock and threw her whole weight back
ward. 1t was no easy matter to move
the IT'S pounds at the other end of the
pole, but Elizabeth was a remarkably
strong girl, and with the aid of such
efforts as her companion was able to
make in his own behalf he was brought
to resting place on the bank. He lay
there silently for few moments to re-
cover his breath and strength.
Thanks, awfully," he said presently,
clambering up and shaking the water
from his dripping person like big dog
''You saved me from a watery grave"
Miss Elizabeth smiled sympathetical-
ly. "My service was hardly so great as
that" she answered, "but such as it
was you are very welcome to it. How
in the world did it happen?"
A guilty color came into the young
mans face, but apparently Miss Elliot
was not noticing him.
"Oh, l was rather too anxious for
that big fellow" he said as Indifferent
ly as he could, land l came a cropper
on the wet moss at the top of the slide.
But if I'm not mistaken that trout was
worth the experience"
The conversation was thus diverted
to new channel, and some moments
were occupied in admiring- the trout,
estimating its weight and wondering
how so fine specimen had strayed up
the brook-matters in which both of
them evinced sportsmanlike interest.
The diversion gave Mason an oppor-
tunity to regain the presence of mind
which had deserted him during his re-
cent exciting experience.
'Pm afraid that have forgotten the
formality of making myself known"
he said at the first lull in the discus
sion of the fish. 81 am Roderick Ma

straight on. He was thinking that he
would rather face shipwreck than row
around the island, where White would
see them and think that he had done
this for the wager.
Various thoughts had been coursing
rapidly through the not particularly
quick mind of Mr.. Roderick Mason as
he struggled across the lake toward
the Stony point camp. He thought
that he was fool and cad to make
a bet about girl like Miss Elliot.
Still, he was not sorry he had made it
since it led to meeting her. He ear
nestly hoped, however, that she might
not hear of the bet. He did not be-
lieve that she would approve of it. She
evidently was not like most of the
girls he had met. His complimentary
remarks she had taken as matter of
course. She had cut short the high
flown speech of thanks he had intend
ed to make after she had pulled him
out of the water. AS we'll as he could
remember she had exhibited vastly
more interest in the big trout than she
had in him. 1t didn't seem to Rod that
this was exactly as it should be. In
truth, Miss Elliot awed him little,
but he was decidedly of the opinion
that she was the most attractive girl
he had ever met.

DIPHTHERIA INFECTION.
Important Facts Concerning the
Progress of the Disease by q
Noted English Authority.

Prof. Sims Woodhead, an English
pathologist of high standing, has of
late advanced some comparatively new
points concerning diphtheria. In a
review of 12,172 cases sent to hos
pitfalls 73.42 per cent, or nearly three
fourths, showed the presence of diph-
liberia bacilli when cultures were made
from their throats, and 26.5s per cent,
or fully onefourth, failed to show
any at all. He does not conclude tha
the bacilli were lacking all through
the prevalence of the disease in the
latter group of cases, but he remark
that they were probably displaced
from the surface of the mucous mem
brane by other organisms rather
promptly, and hence were not caught
at that particular time when this
throat was swabbed for test purposes.
Another fact of considerable impot
tance which Prof. Woodhead dwell
on, states the New York Tribune, is
that diphtheria bacilli often linger
much longer than is commonly sup
posed in persons throat. After the
ninth week the proportion falls off
rapidly, but he cites instances where
they remained for more than 200 days,
while in 2O2 cases they were present
after an interval of 100 days. The
persistence here revealed shows that
patients may be discharged as cured
and yet be in a condition endangering
society. In such a state of things
Prof. Woodhead finds one explanation
of some otherwise mysterious returns
of diphtheria in a community where
1t had apparently been suppressed.
Diphtheria is winter disease, and,
though its effects have been rendered
less serious by Behring's antitoxin,
it is yet formidable enemy to health.

Elizabeth was able to take in no more
scent of the unexpected intruder ended
in the pool, while the trout, intercept
ed in his fight, was left hanging from
projecting limb and making vigorous
fops in fruitless endeavor to be free.
Miss Elliot did not scream, although
she was decidedly startled. She mere
ly cast aside her rod and peered anx-
iously into the pool for the reappear-
ance of head. 1t popped up in a
moment, rather wet and bedraggled,
and its owner after preliminary gasp
and look about started slowly for the
shore.
"Can't 1 help you?" ventured Miss
Elliot. "Can you get out?"
I'm all right" answered the head
as composedly as possible under the
circumstances. What became of the
trout?'
Hes up there" responded the lady,
pointing to the limb from which the
red spotted captive was still swinging.
The head turned slowly in the direc-
tion indicated, and the expression of
the face frightened visibly as the pro-
portions of the fish were observed. The
pleased look was succeeded immediate
ly by one of anxiety as the trout made
an unusually lively flop that threat
ened to release him.
"Do you think you could get him
DOWN.? inquired the immersed one as
he prepared to resume his shoreward
course. ut would be shame to lose
him"
"Oh, yes; certainly" replied Eliza
beth from the bank, 'if you are quite
sure that you can get out alone"
1t must have required heroic effort
to decline aid so charmingly proffered,
but the occupant Of the pool replied
manfully that he would be on shore in
jiffy. Thereupon Miss Elliot turned
her attention to the trout and by dint
