CHAPTER vi.
Death. Life and the Resurre

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 im-

deed he chose the late season always
for his buying in order that he might
not be followed, and it was his hab-
It to buy in different places at different
years that his repeated and expected
presence at one spot might not arouse
suspicion.
Intercourse with his fellow men was
confined to this yearly visit to a set
Element, and even that was Of the
briefest nature, confined always to the
business in hand. Even when busy

rushed nightly, breaking over rocks,
digging away shallow-rooted trees,
,leaping, biting, snarling, tearing at the
big walls spread away on either side.
He had husbanded some of his
strength for this final effort, this last
chance Of escape. Below them at the
other end Of this open the walls came
together again. There the descent
was sharper than before and the wa
ter ran to the opening with racing
speed. Once again in the torrent and
they would be swept to death In spite
of all.
Shifting his grasp to the woman's
hair, now unbound, he held her with
one hand and swan hard with the
other. The current still ran swiftly
but with no gigantic upheaVing waves
as before. 1t was more easy to avoid
floating timber and debris, and on one

side where the ground sloped some
what gently the quick water flowed
more slowly. He struck out desper-
Rtely for 1t, forcing himself away from
the main stream into the shadows
and ever dragging the woman. Was
1t hours or minutes or seconds after
that he gained the battle and neared
the shore at the lowest edge?
He caught with his forearm, as the
torrent swerved him around, a stout
young pine so deeply rooted as yet to
have withstood the food. Summoning
the last reserve Of strength that is
bestowed upon US in our hour of need,
and comes unless from God we know
not whence, he drew himself in front
of the pine, got his back against 1t
and although the water Numbered
against him still-only by comparison
could it be called quieter-and his
foothold was most precarious, he
reached down carefully and grasped
the woman under the shoulders. His
position was a cramped one, but by
the power Of his arms alone he lifted
her up until he got his left arm about
her waist again. 1t was a mighty
feat OF strength indeed.
The pine stood in the midst of the
water, for even on the farther side
the earth was overlooked, but the wa
ter was stiller. He did not know what
might be there, but he had to chance
it. Lifting her up he stepped out,
fortunately meeting firm ground. A
few PAGES and he reached solid rock
above the flood. He raised her above
his head and laid her upon the shore,
then with the very last atom Of all his
force, physical, mental and spiritual,
he drew himself up and fell painting
and utterly exhausted but triumphant
by her side.
The cloudburst was over, but the
rain still beat down upon them, the
thunder still roared above them, the
lightning still flashed about them, but
they were safe, alive, II the woman had
not died in his arms. He had done
q thing superhuRnan. No man know
ing conditions would have believed it.
He himself would have declared q
thousand times its patent impossible
ity.
For a few seconds he strove to re-
cover himself, then he thought of the
flask he always carried in his pocket.
1t was gone. His clothes were ragged |
and torn; they had been ruined by his
battle with the waves. The girl lay |
where he had placed her on her back. |
In the pocket of her hunting shirt he
noticed a little protuberance. The
pocket was provided with a flap and
tightly buttoned. Without hesitation |
he unbuttoned It There was q flask
there, little silver mounted affair;
by some miracle it had not been brok-
en-. 1t was half full. With nervous
hands he opened 1t and poured some
Of 1t down her throat; then he bent
over her, his soul in his glance,
scarcely knowing what to do next
Presently she opened her eyes.
And there, IN the rain, by that rag
ing torrent whence he had drawn her
as IT were from the jaws Of death by
the power Of his arm, in the presence
Of the God above them, this man and
this women looked attach other and
life for both Of the no longer

Same Unfortunate story---John
Barleycorn Once Again is King

The appeal of Young Critic and
Martin Costello the other day to be
sent to the workhouse in New York
is another chapter to the sad ending
Of the careers Of two of the most
promising fighters that ever came
from Australia. These two names
have been known to the fight fans
In this country for the past fifteen or
twenty years. Critic. who was much
better know nthan Costello, was on
sidered to be the %clevcrest man that
ever drew on a glove in this country,
and in his time defeated all the best
men of his weight.
This is but another example to the
young men that are now engaged In
the boxing game. Both of these men
in their time made a pile of money,
but here of late years they have had
to depend on the fight public, more
or less.
When Critic met George Dixon in
their memorable twenty-five round
bout. his manager, Hughey Behan,
had him arrested. charged with drum
kenness. and had him kept in Jail an
hour before the fight was to take
place. Now. the cell of a police sta

In 1908 while with Ohio university he
pitched and won nine games and lost
one. With Newark the same season
he won four and lost sever.
Going to Lima the following year he
won twenty and lost seven and was
shunted off to Columbus as a result of
that record. Kaler won eleven games
for Columbus and lost eight when the
Cleveland club landed him in 1910.
During the fall of that year.. exclusive
of the games with Cincinnati. he won
six and lost four. Last wear his
American league record was nine VIC
tories and eight defeats. making Il to-

five defeats since he started to pitch.

rounding into form. No one except
himself is worried about that. Last

season record showed. If he isn't

To Davis himself the pitching staff

Of great things. He has a group of
artists. all of whom give promise of
great things
Satisfaction is increased by the
knowledge that II he eventually lands
