CHAPTER vi (continued) i.

NT1fNF In W AONhN'N~|
He caught with his forearm, as the
torrent swerved him around, a stout
young pine so deeply rooted as yet to
have withstood the flood. Summontng
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. It was mighty
feat Of strength indeed.
The pine stood in the midst of the
water, for even. on the farther side
the earth was overfiowed, 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 food. 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, If the woman had
not died in his arms. He had done
a thing superhuman. No man know
Ing conditions would have believed 1t.
He himself would have declared a
thousand times it's patent impossible
lty.
For 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
WueFe ne ndu pldc6u uSr Ou uSI udCk'
In the pocket of her hunting shirt he
noticed little protuberance. The
pocket was provided with flap and
tightly buttoned Without hesitation
ne unbuttoned it. There was a 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 it 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 at each other and
life for both of them was no longer
the same.

Absent-Minded Man Has Some Diff.
Guilty at the Book Store and
the Grocers'.

AS the little man walked absent
mindedly along the sidewalk he sud-
denly stopped in front of bookstore.
1t recalled to him the meaning of that
piece of string on his finger, and with
a frightened face he entered.
"Just a minute" he said to the
clerk. my wife wanted me to get
a book for her-a certain novel she's
heard a good deal about. l must find
the memorandum she gave re. She
wrote the name on slip OF paper,
and put it in my pocket"
After considerable fumbling he pro-
duced a small bit OF paper. and laying
it on the counter, took out his spec
tacles and adjusted them on his nose.
Here's the name-Cobb's Corna-
tine. Yes, that's it."
Tim afraid I don't know the
book, sir" said the clerk apologetical-
ly, ''but I'll look through the list of
new ones" And ne ran his eye over
the list on the wall mo. I'm sorry
to say ! can't find 1t mere. You are
sure of the name?"
YES. it's right here on this piece
of paper"
"Well, I'm afraid we haven't got
it then"
"But-but / don't dare to go home
to my wife without it. l promised to
get 1t for her"
The clerk called to another in the
back If the store, who came forward.
To tie other ne said: Say. Bill, do
YOU know Of book called Cornatine,
by a fellow named Cobb2"
Whats that" he asked in sur
prise.
The old gentleman broke in:
"Cobb's Cornatine. Here. see for
yourself"
I'm afraid you've made a mistake, I"
said the new arrival with twinkle.

water fell with such force, directness
and continuousness that 1t almost
beat them down. 1t ran over the trail
DOWN the side Of the mountain In
sheets like water. falls. 1t required all
the old mans skill and address to
keep himself and companion from los

the seething tumult below.
The tents went down in an instant.

could see them swimming for dear life
as they swept down the canon. PETE

was already scrambling up to safety.
Speech was impossible between the

sistent gesture, old Kirkby urged the
terrified, trembling woman up the

After the first awful deluge of the
cloudburst it moderated slightly, but
the hard rain came down steadily, the
wind rose as well, and in spite of

She's beyond the help of man."
All, indeed, old trapper, whence
came the confident assurance of that
dogmatic statement? For as it chanc-

for whose peril your heart was wrung

to the merciless fury of the storm, a
thought came suddenly to Mrs. Matt
