CHILD Ev,NcEp REAL AEaolsM.
PathstieaiIy Brave In Hour That
Brings Terror to Us All.

A pathetic story Of child's heroism
is told by Dublin gentleman. Re-
Gently he proposed to drive with his
wife to the beautiful Glasnevin ceme-
terry. Calling his son, bright little
boy. some four years old, he told him
to get ready to accompany them. The
child's countenance fell and the father
said:
Don't you want to go, Willie?"
The little lip quivered, but the child
answered. Yes, papa, If you wish"
The child was strangely silent dur.
ing the drive. and when the carriage
drove up to the entrance he clung to
his mothers side and looked up in
her face with pathetic wistfulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
shadowed avenues. looking at the in
scriptions on the last resting places of
the dwellers in the beautiful city Of
the dead. After an hour or SO thus
spent, they returned to the carriage,
and the father lifted his little son to
his seat. The child looked surprised,
drew a breath of relief and asked:
why. am l going back with your
"Of course you are; why not?"
Il thought when they took little
boys to the cemetery they left them
there" said the child.
Many a man does not show the her
oism In the face Of death that this
child evinced in what, to him, had
evidently been \ summons to leave
the world.

CHAPTER TX,

Lady Arabella Stormont was as good
as her word; for that day, two months,
Giles Vernon was put upon trial for
his life at York assizes for the alb
duction Of an heiress. Sir Peter Hawk
shaw refused absolutely to counte-
nance Arabella; and my Lady Hawk
shaw. who never had bowed her head
or abased her spirit to mortal man or
mortal woman before, went upon her
knees. imploring Arabella to give over
her revenge-for revenge it was, pure
and simple-but Lady Arabella laughed
at her. Lady Hawkshaw rose from her
knees. crying out:
You have some deep and unknown
reason for this; but 1t will come to
naught, it will come to naught!"
But Arabella found a person ready
to her hand, who was most active in
the matter. This was Sir Thomas Yer.
non Of Vernon court. 1t was he who
lodged the information with the public
prosecutor against Giles. and assumed
the part Of Lady Arabella's champion.
OF course, there was some ground for
! the version of the story which was
started in Arabella's interest, that q
frightful outrage had been committed
by dragging her of against her will;
and that only the most determined
courage had saved her from a mar.
riage repulsive to her; that Sir Peter
and Lady Hawkshaw. her next friends
had basely deserted her; and that Sir
Thomas had chivalrously taken up
her cause. 1t Is true that the relative
characters OF the Hawkshaws and Sir
Thomas Vernon discounted much Of
this: but the actual facts in the case
looked SO ugly for Giles that there was
no trouble in securing his prompt ar
rest and delivery in York Jail.
The breach between Lady Arabella
and the Hawkshaws. a. well as Daph.

MENr's GREAT RESERVOIR ON

Deaves.-The Republican Tuesday

terday in final effort to save the big
dam and prevent the reservoir from
bursting and sending = wall Of water
2l5 feet high down the narrow river
channel to engulf the town of Casper
and the surrounding dams.
A sheet Of water more than twenty
feet deep was pouring through the big
gap in the dam last night. and it is
believed by Supervising Engineer Ira
Mcconnell Of Denver, who is ON the
ground. that this sluiceway will
sufficiently reduce the pressure on the
dam to save 1t, and will also prevent
the river from bursting out at the side
Of the reservoir and opening . new
channel around the dam.
The flood which has been raging in
the North Platte for a week continued
to rise on Sunday night and yesterday
morning the water had reached q
stage within few feet of the low sad
die in the hills half mile above the
dam. where q gap opens twenty feet
lower than the top Of the big dam. 1t

began that the river would rush
through this saddle and cut new

finder dam. pour back into the river
below the dam. sweep in full force
down the channel for fifty miles to

At noon yesterday the river was

hour and in spite of all that big
shift Of laborers could do with cement
and rock, the crevice was slowly WI
dening. 1t il hoped that the dynamit-
ing Of the top Of the dam will save
this south wing.
Terror reigns in the valley Of the
North Platte below the dam. The
great reservoir is full of water and
the full flood capacity OF the river is

death-bearing flood will rush down on
Casper.
At q late hour last night Geddis &
seerie of Denver, who built the dam,
and who sent the emergency crew to
Pathfinder on Saturday night, had re-
ceived no bulletin from the dam. Cen
eral Manager Frank Walters of the
Northwestern railroad, with headquar-
ters at Omaha, received a telegraphic
report from the dam late yesterday
afternoon announcing that the dyna-
hitting had been resorted to and stat
ing that engineers on the ground be-
lieved that the dam would be saved.
At the top the big dam is eight feet
thick and 600 feet long. The width Of
the gap blasted out is not known.
