then for a rest-a change, getting
back to real, rational living
And Observation-Disclosures, accident,
fate, precipitated where Rupert
Wriothlesey had procrastinated-tne
great flood at Ironton.
For years after that eventful PERIOD
old men told of the great flood that
had swept down the valley, bringing
devastation and ruin in its train, and
young auditors marvelled and snud'
dered.
It was every man for himself when
the great volume Of water began Its
warning encroachment. Rupert was at
his home, and the leaping overflow
from the swollen river first attacked
that part of the town. He drove to
the works-that treasure box IN the
vault was his first thought. He was
forced to abandon his vehicle one
half way to the plant. When ne
reached the works there were two
feet of water in the Office.
Hastily Rupert packed the bulk OF
his ready resources in satchel. The
workmen were fast abandoning the
place. Rupert struck across the fac
tory yard to find himself hemmed IN
near some sheds. A break In the
river banks had brought raging tor
rent down the valley at cyclone speed.
It was moment for rapid action.
Everywhere was confusion, alarm,
peril. Ten minutes later Rupert
Wriothlesey saw the great plant tot
tering to ruins, swept off its founda-
ton, and he was floating along, hold
Ing to the rooftree of a shed with one
hand, the other holding the satchel
with it's precious contents.
Others, clinging to planks. to coops,
to barrels and boxes, drifted by him.
The terror of storm and fight drove
the floating refugees desperately for
ward. Rupert doubted if the frail
shed would long remain intact. Its
timbers were already parting. Then
as a raft formed of frail platform,
some sidewalk section, passed thirty
feet away, he thrilled.
Upon it just tainted from terror and
exhaustion, was a familiar form-it
was Edna Morton! 1t seemed as
though the veil Of years was pierced
at a touch, and he recalled the gold
en- hours of the far past. Edna was
helpless. At every toss Of the waves
she slipped nearer and nearer to the
edge Of the frail float.
He could reach her, he saw that,
but in that terrible food he must
be unhampered. Her sweet white
face appealed to him. Rupert Wrioth'
lesey gave the satchel fling with al.

and reached Edna Morton just as she
was slipping overheard.
1t was two hours later, ashore and
safe, that Edna heard how nearly she
had drifted into the jaws Of death.
And then and there, his great sacrifice
seeming q joy and relief. Rupert
Wriothlesey told Of the love that
came to his tired spirit like Z sweet
soothing balm at last.

Announcement was made in Philadelphia,
Oct. 80. that the Hamburg-American Line
decided to build six freight steamers TO be
put under the American flag, to cost
81, 500, 900 in addition to passenger steamers,
for which bids have been received from the
different American shipyards. Shipbuilders
have been asked to bid on the freight steam
ers at once in view of the early opening OF
the Panama Canal and because it is believed
the freight transportation, especially bulk
cargoes, will be q most important factor for
the company's prompt consideration. The
representatives of the Hamburg-American
state that the new vessels are to be of 10000
tons carrying capacity aud to cost 100000
each. 1t was the original intention of the
Hamburg American Line to build steamers
for combined passenger and freight traffic,
but the representatives decided on six OK
clusively freight carriers because this type
of vessel will likely be sent to places where
the passenger traffic would be an unimport-
ant consideration. These steamers will be
built to suit the requirements of the Pana-
ma Canal, with fuel oil burning machinery
and a bunker capacity to take them to China
and Japan without replenishing the oil
tanks.-Uid.
