CHAPTER v (Contlnued).

Suddenly the rolling thunder peals
concentrated, balls of fire leaped out
of the heavens and struck the noun
tains where she could actually see
them. There were not words to de-
scribe the tremendous crashings
which seemed to splinter the hills, to
be succeeded by brief periods OF ST.
ience, to be followed by louder and
more terrific detonations.
In one Of those appalling atterna'
tons from sound to silence she heard
q human cry-an answering cry to
her own It came from the hills be-
hind her. It must proceed, she
thought, from the man. She could
not meet that man, although she
craved human companionship as never
before. she did not want his. She could
not bear it. Better the wrath Of
God, the fury of the tempest.

ing, of appeal, in the voice ere it was

she plunged on in the darkness. The
canon narrowed here; she made her
way down the Lodges, leaping reck-
lessly from rock to rock, slipping,
falling, grazing now one side, now
the other, hurting herself forward with
white face and bruised body and torn
hands and throbbing heart that would
fain burst its bonds. There was once
an ancient legend, q human creature.

teralness the floods descended. The
bursting clouds, torn asunder by the
wild winds, driven by the pent-up
lightning within their black and turgid
breasts, disburdened themselves. The
water came down, as 1t did OF old
when God washed the race OF the
world, in a flood. The narrow Of the
canon was filled ten, twenty, thirty
feet in a moment by the cloud burst.
The black water rolled and foamed,
surging like the rapids at Niagara.
The body of the girl. utterly unpre.
pared, was caught up in moment and
rung like bolt from catapult down
the seething sea filled with the trunks
of the trees and the debris Of the
mountains, tossing about humanity in
the wild confusion. She struck out
strongly swimming more because OF
the instinct of life shan for any other
reason. A helpless atom in the boil

.gorged themselves OF their pent-up
torrents upon her devoted head.

CHAPTER vi.

Death, Life and the Resurrection.
The man was coming back from one
of his rare visits to the settlements.
Ahead of him he drove a train OF
burros who, well broken to their work,
followed with docility the wise old
leader in the advance. The burros
were laden with his supplies for the
approaching winter. The season was
late. the mountains would soon be I'm
passable on account of the SHOWS. in
deed he chose the tate season always
for his buying in order that he might
not be followed, and 1t was his hab-
st to buy in different places at different
years that bis repeated and expected
presence at one spot might not arouse
suspicion.

in the silent hills. His heart and spirit

had saved her life thereby. that she

time, and in either case he would
have a duty to discharge.
It devolved upon him to make sure
Of her safety; he was in certain

back to her friends, wherever they
might be; but he persuaded himself
that otherwise he did not want to see
her again. that he did not wish to
know anything about her future; that
he did not care whether it was we'll or

obligation which drove him toward
her-oh, fond and foolish man!

had not come from his exertions. In
one moment the whole even tenor of
his life was changed. The one
glimpse he had got Of those white
shoulders, that pallid face, that golden
head raised from the water, had swept
him back five years. He had seen
once more In the solitude woman.
Other women he had seen at a dis.
lance and avoided in his yearly visits
to the settlements. OF course. these
had passed him by remotely. but here
he was brought in touch intimately
with humanity. He who had taken
life had saved It. A woman had sent
him forth; was a woman to call him
back!
He cursed himself for his weakness.
He shut his eyes and summoned other
memories. How long he stood there

He did not allow these thoughts to

He had been walking for some
hours, and as he grew thirsty 1t &C.
Cured to him to descend to the level
of the brook which he heard below him
and of which he sometimes caught
a flashing glimpse through the trees.
He scrambled down the rocks and
found himself in a thick grove OF
pine. Making his way slowly and with
great difficulty through the tangle OF
fallen timber which lay in every d.
rection, the sound Of a human voice,
the last thing on earth to be expected
in that wilderness, smote upon the
fearful hollow Of his ear.
Any voice or any word then and
there would have surprised him, but
there was note Of awful terror In
this voice, q sound of frightened ap-
peal. The desperation in the cry left
him no moment for thought, the de-
mand was for action. The cry was
not addressed to him, apparently, but
to God, yet it was he who answered.

front of him the canon bent sharply
to the north, and beneath him a few
rods away a speck of white cleaned
above the water of a deep and still
pool that he knew.
There was woman there!
He had time for but the swiftest
glance; he had surmised that the voice
was not that of a mans voice instant
ly he heard it, and now he was sure.
She stood white breast deep in the wa

AS soon as child, girl or boy, is
able to handle round-pointed scissors
provide a pair, with quantities of col
ored pictures to cut out. Then, II there
is no handy man available, get the
nearest carpenter to make a screen or
the frame for one; tack cheap paper
cambria on the back. Cover the young
ster from top to toe with an apron,
spread a sheet on the floor, give him
bottle, or better, still, a tube Of
library paste, (they dearly love to
squeeze iD, and you happily may go
your way rejoicing, knowing that sew
eral hours will elapse ere the charm
of cutting and the joy Of pasting will
have been lost.
When the screen is full take it out
and replace with a fresh piece Of cam
brio. This amusement gives the child
ample scope to exercise it's originality,
and the enjoyment of not being as.

Fruit trimming for hats for early
fall include tiny white apples, white
raspberries and white peaches.
Rhinestone trimmings are by far
the most snowy and effective as well
as beautiful trimming of the season.
Single ornaments of passementerie
are attached to linen collars in some
cases in place of ordinary ties or
bows.
White, cream and fancy serges,
comprising black hairline stripes on
white grounds, are great favorites Of
the moment. 81
The new changeable taffetas come in
double width and are most advantage
GUS for cutting. Many exquisite COM
binations for blouses can be had-a
popular one being gold and the new

A great favorite is the new mate

apron, clothespin bag, roller towel,
several busters Of cheese cloth and a
half dozen dish cloths. The entire
cost was divided among the 12 and the
materials wrapped in tissue paper and
! hidden throughout the rooms.
Upon the arrival of the honored
guest they chatted awhile and then
the hostess announced that little
fairy had confided to her that there
were packages Of value secretly hid
soft tones of the piano the same as
for Magic music" When all the pack
ages had been discovered the girls all
set to work upon which ever article
they selected. They pronounced this
a utility" shower and 1t certainly was
practical, for the guest of honor said
her mind was SO in the clouds that
the articles presented had never been
thought of. Delicious tea was brewed
by the hostess, accompanied by thin
bread and butter sandwiches filled
with orange marmalade, bon-bons, and
small cakes. The guests assisted in
serving. The hostess was bride of
six months, so she knew from expert
ence what new housekeeper would
need.

A. Towel Shower.


A towel shower for a recent bride
was both practical and acceptable.
There were 12 intimate friends, SO
they each contributed the price Of a
towel and the hostess purchased one
dozen Of the same pattern with the
large papier-mache letters and cotton
for marking.
On the afternoon for the SHOWER"
all came with their thimbles and
each girl embroidered letter on a
towel, so when refreshments were
served IL beautiful pieces of linen
were placed before the bride.
Just word as to the wearing quail
tiles of these papier-mache letters,
concerning which there seems to be a
divided opinion. Personally, l have
found them most satisfactory, having
used tablecloth and napkins for nine
years that are marked in this manner.
If they are closely and carefully
worked they will outwear the original
material and that is all that is neces-
sary.
The refreshments consisted of lob
ster salad, hot cheese sandwiches, cof-
fee, olives and salted nuts. A relative,
who knew of the shower, sent two
guest towels, pair of bath towels and
six wash cloths.
