CHAPTER XII.
The Family on the Raft.

uc dIllly vi tAc ANnlI.
That would unquestionably have
been the end of Bob Yancy when hi
was shot out into the muddy water:
of the Elk river, had not Mr.. Richard
Keppel Cavendish, variously known a:
Long-Legged Dick, and Chills-and-Fev
er Cavendish, of Lincoln county, in the
state OF Tennessee, some months pre-
viously and after unprecedented men
tai effort on his part, decided that Lin
coin county was no place for him.
Mr.. Cavendish's paternal grandpar
ents had drifted down the Holster
and Tennessee; and Mr.. Cavendish's
father, in his sons youth, had poleC
up the Elk Mr.. Cavendish now de
termined to float down the Elk to its
juncture with the Tennessee, down
the Tennessee to the Ohio, and If need
be, down the Ohio to the Mississippi
until he found some spot exactly suit
ed to his taste.
With this end in view he had toiled
through the late winter and early
spring, building himself a raft on
which to transport his few belongings
and his numerous family.
Thus 1t happened that as Murrell
and Slosson were dragging Yancy
down the lane, Cavendish was just
rounding a bend in the Elk, quarter
of mile distant. Leaning loosely
against the long handle Of his sweep
he was watching the lane of bright
water that ran between the black shad.
Ows cast by the trees on either bank.
He heard dull splash, and caught
sight Of some object in the eddy that
swept alongside. Mr. Cavendish
promptly detached himself from the
handle of the sweep and ran to the
edge of the raft.
1t was a face, livid and blood-stain-
ed. Dropping on his knees he reach
ed out pair of long arms and made
a dexterous grab, and his fingers
closed on the collar of Yancy's shirt.
He drew Yancy close alongside. and
pulled him clear Of the water. Mr.. Cav
endish began a hurried examination
of the still figure. There's little
life here-not much. Polly!" he called.
This brought Mrs. Cavendish from
one of the two cabins that occupied
the center of the raft. When she
caught sight OF Yancy she uttered a
shrek.
Her cry had aroused the other deni-
zens of the raft. Six little Caven-
dishes, each draped in single gar
ment, tumbled forth from their shell
ter.
II reckon we'd better lift him on to
one of the beds-get his wet clothes
of and wrap him up warm" said Polly.
"Oh, put him in our bed" cried all
the little Cavendishes.
And Yancy was borne into the small
er of the two shanties, where present
ly his bandaged head rested on the
long pillow. Then his wet clothes
were hung up to dry along with the
family wash, which fluttered on a rope
stretched between the two shanties.
CHAPTER XIII.
The Judge Breaks Jail
The sheriff had brought the judges
supper He reported that the crowd
was dispensing and that on the whole
public sentiment was not particularly
hostile; indeed, he went so far as to
say there existed a strong undercur-
rent of satisfaction that the jail should
have SO speedily justified itself.
Presently the sheriff went his way
into the dusk of the evening and night
came swiftly to fellowship the judges
fears. A single moonbeam found its
way into the place, making thin

!. BIG HOLIDAY RUSH
Extra Clerks Put on, and Ar
rangements Made to

Preparatory to the rush of mail incl
Dent to the approach Of Christmas and
the session Of Congress. Postmaster N.
A. Merritt this morning appointed f1f-
teen substitute clerks in the city post
office. They will serve from now until
May l5, at $50 a month.
The appointment of the clerks is the
first preparation for the handling cf
the Christmas mail. Later the postal
service in all its departments will be In
creased by the addition of temporary
employees, and then regular employts
Will be placed on a twelve-hour-a-day
schedule. They now work eight hours
They will not receive extra pay for
their additional, service. but they will
be repaid in the form of less than eight
hour days in the summer. --
The New Clerks.
The temporary clerks appointed to-
day are: George Kinsey. Bertram /. H.
Grimes, Harry J.. Trienor. William C.
Furr, William H. Twine. Michael 8.
Applestein, william L. Mulvey. Joseph
III. Linnane. G. Sutor Reichenbach. Jo-
siah d. Adams. Frederick A. Schultz,
Benjamin S. Jackson Harry v. Belt
Victor H. Eisenbelss, and Charles =.
Marschauer. The first six are to be
employees in the delivery division and
the remainder in the mailing division.
CoIfel onCes with the Various super
intendents are being held by Postmaster
Merritt, so that an estimate can he
made of the appropriation necessary
to move the mail as rapidly during the
holiday season as during the dull
months of summer. Mr.. Merritt has
announced that no mail will be side
tracked this year to make possible the
delivery of Christmas packages. He has
served notice that the thousands of Los-
tai cards must be distributed With the
same speed as the big packages.
I'VE expect that the new automobile
mail wagons will help materially" said
Mr.. Merritt today, Then we will have
large wagon service fer the holiday
rush.
How It Will Be Done.
Take, for example, sixteenth and .
streets northwest. When the wagon ar
rtves there, two carriers will jump OF,
spread canvas on the ground and dump
out the mail for four blocks, whose
corner, touch there. From that point,
which is, in reality, a temporary sta
ton, the distribution begins. We in-
tend to practice the scheme. The plan
was devised by G. 8. Matthews"
As the season advances many sultstl-
tute carriers will be put at work and,
to facilitate the handling of the mail,
a number of new cases are being con-
structed.
