FOUND DYING


Beresford, Nov. AFTER lying
alone in a helpless condition for what
could not have been less than four
days and nights. Albert Brown, un-
married, of this city, was found in an
unconscious condition in his modest
little apartments on the second floor
OF a business block. He was rushed
to a hospital, but his vitality had be-
come so low that death soon ensued.
A slight wound OF his head caused
the coroner to summon a jury, which
investigated the death in the belief
that he might have been the victim of
foul play. But no evidence was Sc
cured to bear out this suspicion. So
far as known he had only one rela-
tive, a brother who lived in the far
west.

Any student who violates this anti

The passengers had been assem-

hither and thither with lifebelts. The
grimy faces of the stokers appeared
above the ladder. The fires had al
ready been flooded.
Fortunately the. cattle ship carried
few passengers. Even the port boats
suff1ced to contain them. The col

found himself gasping and battling
for life in a whirlpool of believing
cattle and floating planks from the
pens. He managed to catch one and
supported himself. Over the invisible
water came cries and screams which
gradually grew fainter.
He was awake now. He knew what
had occurred. It was strange that
at that moment he thought, not of
his past love so dishonored, but of the
girl he had seen.
And, as he pictured her, he saw her
face painted upon the drifting haze.
Another instant and he was staring
into her eyes.
She was clinging to the keel of an
upturned boat, which had been swept
down into the rapids, carrying it's in
mates to destruction in the swamp
of the liner. How she had lived
through those moments of agony she
never knew; she thought afterward
it was because Mayne was so near,
because there was a life for both of
them, to be lived together.
