Flooded River Brings Precious
Gift to Reur;te Husband
and Wife.
BY MARGARET CAMERON.

John Basco,nbe stood upon the bank
of the whirling river, looking on the
wreck of his home. His wife, Mary,
stood at his side, but even in this
extremity of affection her hand did
not seek his. and there was no sign
that their common disaster had united
them.
Things had not gone we'll with them
during the three years that had
elapsed since their marriage. He had
been clerk in st. Louis, and Mary
was a school teacher. It was a boy

and girl marriage; then, spurred by
necessity and aided by the inheritance
of few hundred dollars, John had
purchased few acres in the fiat low.
lands of the western part of the state.
There they had struggled almost from
the beginning. 1t was the desperate
struggle Of the soil-hungry, seeking
to maintain their hold upon the preci-
Gus earth.
Gradually, under the influence of the
hard and renting toll, they had
drifted apart. If Mary had had a
child it might have brought them to-
gether. But because this was not des-
tined to be they had grown to be al
most strangers. Mary found the hard
struggle intolerable and longed for
books, people, intellectual life, such
as she had been accustomed to; and
John, busy from dawn to dark in his
battle with nature, hardly had any
other life at all.
When they ceased to hope for
child it seemed as though they must
drift apart for ever. In fact they had
spoken OF a separation, at first tenta-
lively. then hopefully, then eagerly, as
something to be anticipated.
You can have everything except
the house and the land" John said to
her. Il want to be free, as you do.
I'll send you"
II don't want your money, John"
she flashed out at him. There isn't
anything of yours want-now. There
was only one thing-love-and don't
want that any more"
They were to have separated that
very day. John remaining there. Mary

ing thousands.
And hourly the river rose, and Mary,
forgetting for the time her own plans,
stayed at Johns side and fought the
floods with him. 1t was little she
could do; but all along the banks men
were building up the levees, hoping
to dam back that roaring tide before
