CHAPTER TX.
The Family on the Raft.

That would unquestionably have
been the end of Bob Yancy when he
was shot out into the muddy waters
of the Elk river. had not Mr.. Rich
ard Keppel Cavendish, variously
known as Long-Legged Dick, and
Chills-and-Feve Cavendish. of Lin
coin county, in the state OF Tennes-
see, some months previously and
after unprecedented mental effort on
his part, decided that Lincoln county
was no place for him.
Mr.. Cavendishs paternal grandpar'
ent had drifted down the Holston and
Tennessee; and Mr.. Cavendishs
father, in his sons youth, had poled
I'D the Elk. Mr.. Cavendish now de
termined to float down the Elk to its
juncture with the Tennessee, down
the Tennessee to the Ohio, and II
need be, down the Ohio to the Mis-
sissippi, until he found some spot ex
actly suited to his taste.
With this end in view he had toileC
through the late winter and early
spring. building himself raft OF
which to transport his few belongings
and his numerous family.
Thus 1t happened that as Murrel
and Slosson were dragging YANG!
down the lane. Cavendish was jus
rounding a bend in the Elk, quar-
ter OF mile distant. Leaning loose

SOAP AND WATER FOR CARPET
Treatment That Will Serve to Give
the Floor Covering a New
Lease of Life.

To wash the carpet thoroughly you
will require a bucket of warm water,
a cake Of carpet soap, piece of house
flannel, and, if you are going to tackle
a fair-sized piece of carpet at once, a
supply Of dry cloths.
Do not begin near the door, as you
may require to leave the room for fresh
water, and it is unwise to walk on the
carpet when damp. Make up your mind
to do without the room till all Is dry.
Start washing as far from the door as
possible, and work towards it. The
flannel is wetted, and portion Of the
carpet we'll rubbed. 1t must not be
overdone, only wetted sufficiently to
secure a good lather by rubbing the
carpet soap ball well in. Then with
the clean, wet flannel remove the
soap. Well rinse the flannel after
wards, so that it is quite soapless
when you begin again, later on anoth-
er fresh piece.
No soap must be left in the carpet
when the final rubbing commences
Take a dry towel, and rub to your
best. Though you cannot git rid of all
dampness, you can almost dry the
patch with friction, and this brings up
the nap beautifully, also the colors.

promptly detached himself from the
handle Of the sweep and ran to the
edge of the raft.

reached out a pair Of long arms and

examination of the still figure.
There's a little life here-not much.
POLLY" he called.
This brought Mrs. Cavendish from
one of the two cabins that occupied
the center of the raft When she
caught sight of Yancy she uttered a
shrek.
Her cry had aroused the other deni-
zens of the raft. Six little Caven-
dishes, each draped in single gar
ment, tumbled forth from their shell
ter.
II reckon we'd better lift him on to
one of the beds-get his wet clothes
off and wrap him up warm" said
Polly.
"Oh, put him in our bed!" cried all
the little Cavendishes.
And Yancy was borne into the
smaller of the two shanties, where
presently his bandaged head rested
on the long pillow. Then his wet
clothes were hung up to dry along
