Keep back, you!" he said, and
dropped off the cabin roof.
His promptness had bred a momen-
tary panic, then Slosson's buII-Iike
voice began to roar commands; but In
that brief instant of surprise and
shock Darlington had found and with
drawn the wooden peg that fastened
the cabin door. He had scarcely done
this when Slosson came tramping aft

astern the Kentuckian rushed toward
the bow. At his back he heard the
door creak on its hinges as it was
pushed open by Betty and the boy,
and again he called to them to escape
by the skiff. The fret of the current
had grown steadily and from beneath

he felt the river snatch at the keel
and saw the blunt bow swing off to
the south as they were plunged into
the black shore shadows.
But what he did not see was a. big
muscular hand which had thrust itself
out OF the impenetrabIe gloom and
ciutched the side of the keel boat. Co
incident with this there arose a per-
feet babel of voices, high-pitched and
shrill.
"Sho'-I bet it's him. Sho'-it's Un-

Darlington cast hurried glance in
the direction of these sounds. There
between the boat and the shore the
dim outline Of raft was taking shape
1t was now canopied by a wealth OF
pale gray smoke that faded from be-
fore his eyes as the darkness lifted.
The light increased. From the fiat

tall column of flame which rendered

Robert c. ingersoI's Eloquent Appre
citation of the Qualities of the
GsntIer Sex.

1t takes 100 men to make an en-
campment, but one woman can make
a home. / not only admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever created,
but | reverence her as the redeeming
glory of humanity. the sanctuary of all
virtues, the pledge of all perfect quail
ties of heart and head. It is not just
nor right to lay the sins of men at the
feet of women. 1t Is because women
are so much better than men that
their faults are considered greater. A
mans desire Is the foundation of his
love, but a woman's desire Is born of
her love. The one thing in this world
that is constant. the one peak that
rises above all clouds, the enc win
dow In which the light forever burns.
the one star that darkness cannot
quench is woman's love. 1t rises to
the greatest heights, 1t sinks to the
lowest danths- 1t forgives tina most
