RESCUE WORK IN PROGRESS
Many Thousands of Persons Anxious
Iy Awaiting Aid-some on House
Tops and Others in Trees.

New Orleans, May Sowing to the
favorable weather for the past as
hours. apprehension Of further breaks
in the Mississippi leveeS was somewhat
less today and reports from various
points menaced by the rising waters
were more encouraging.
Attention of the officials has been
centered III the work of rescue being
carried on in the inundated regions
bv motor boats, barges and skitfs,
manned by government employees.
Fourteen more lives have been sac
rificed to the floods. Twelve negroes
drowned when q raft capsized in the
Battle Ak" district of Point Coupee
Parish. Two women drowned when
their skiff which was being towed by
a government boat capsized.
Twenty thousand persons have al
ready been rescued in Louisiana and
as many more are anxiously awaiting
aid. Some are floating on tops OF
houses, others in tree tops, while
scores are huddled on the levee tops,
or on little patches of high ground
which the waters have not covered,
For days they have been without food
and. as the women and children are
brought in, medical aid is needed I'M
mediately.
Two hundred men and women are
marooned on little patch Of eie-
waited ground near Opelousas and Will
he rescued today. One OF the party
swan five miles to summon aid.
Lettesworth, La, is in great peril
and efforts will be made to take its
inhabitants out in boats today. The
water is reported to be rising there
RAPIDLY and the town is almost IN the
direct path Of the torrent pouring
through the levees gaps. Already
the people have fled to the upper storl
es of their homes, live stock has been
berded in from the surrounding coun-
trv and quarters made for cattle m
public buildings. The troops from
New Iberia today followed the exam
nles of those at Marksville and round
ed up all the idle negroes at New
Roads and forced them to work on the
levees.
The Baton Rouge University profes
sors, in charge of an employment bu-
reau under the supervision of the re-
lief committee, took similar action.
The large saw mill and plantation
owners are also sending their negroes
employed by them to work on the
dikes. Citizens of New Roads were
elated today when it was learned that
the cruiser Nebraska had been order
ed by the Navy Department to lend
whatever aid possible to the rescue
work.
Scores of men have offered to pilot
the gasoline boats from the Nebras-
ka through the food to assist in the
work of rescue.
Maringouin and Grossette are is
lands today. Both of these towns are
built on high ground, but the water
has completely surrounded the places,
and it is impossible to get either in or
ont. The Bridge on the Texas Pacific
was swung to prevent its being car
ried away.

If those things are true and posi-
BILE under every day conditions and
to ordinary men and women, how
much more to this solitary He had
seen this woman white breasted like
the foam, rising as the ancient god
dress from the Paphian sea. Over that
recollection, as he was gentleman
and a Christian, be would fain draw a
curtain, before it erect a wall. He
must not dwell upon that fact, he
would not linger over that moment.
Yet he could not forget it.
Then he had seen her lying prone,
yet unconsciously graceful in her aban-
donment, on the sward; he had caught
a glimpse of her white face desperate
ly uptossed by the rolling water; he
had looked into the unfathomable
depth of her eyes at that moment
when she had awakened in his arms
after such struggle as had taxed his
manhood and almost broken his heart;
he had carried her unconsciously,
chastity white with her pain-drawn
face, stumbling desperately over the
rocks in the beating rain to this. his
home. There he had held that poor,
bruised slender little foot in his hand,
gently, skilfuly treating it, when he
longed to press his lips passionately
upon it. Last of all he had looked
into her face, warmed with the red
light of the fire, searched her weary
eyes almost like blue pools, in whose
depths there yet lurked life and light,
while her golden hair tinged Grim
son by the blaze lay on the white pill
low-and he loved her. God pity him,
fighting against fact and admission OF
it. yet how could he help it?
He had loved once before in his life
with the fire of youth and spring, but
it was not like this. He did not rec
ognize this new passion in any light
from the past: therefore he would not
admit it. Hence, he did not under
stand it. But he saw and admitted
and understood enough to know that
the past was no longer The supreme
subject in his life, that the present
rose higher, bulkeG larger and hid
more and more Of his far-off horizon.
He fe't like a knave and a traitor,
as If he had been base, dislOyal, false
to his ideal, recreant to his remem-
brance. Was he indeed true man?
Did he have that rugged strength, that
abiding faith, that eternal conscious
ness, that lasting affection, beside
which the rocky paths he often trod
we're things transient, perishable, ey-
anescent? Was he a weaklins that he
fell at the first sight of another
woman?
He stopped his ceaseIess pace for
ward and backward, and stopped near
that frail and futile door. She was
there and there was none to prevent.
His hand sought the latch.
What was he about to do? God for
bid that a thought he could not freely
share with humanity should enter his
brain then. He held all women sacred,
and so he had ever done, and this
woman in her loneliness, in her help
lessness, in her weakness, trebly APP
pealed to him. But he would look
upon her, he would fain see if she
we're there, if it were all not dream,
the creation of his disordered imagin-
