ton she saw the huge knife draw
moving Enthusiastically upward. Her
eyes sought the bridge tower-the
bridge tender was standing at the
open window. Her glance swept the
stretch of river; then she remem-
bered, then she understood, then she
knew, ala river tug was bearing
rapidly downstream; she could see the
pilot and the captain in the wheel,
house; the bridge was lifting for the
boats passage. She had heard it's
loud whistle at the moment she rushed
from the station.
The baked girl drove her little
spurs into Rocket. The horse sprung,
Infatuated, to greater effort. II she
could make the draw in time she
would jump it-a slight rise-noth-
ing should keep her back. She wildly
waved her free hand at the bridge
tender. He was watching the boat and
the span was slowly rising; but a
few strides closer and she would have
risked making the jack-knife-she
realized now she was too late.
Without swerving for an instant
from her purpose; without shrinking
from her single alternative, and only
praying for time still to make good
her endeavor, Helen headed Rocket
straight for the open draw. His feet
struck the pier. She gave the horse
his head. The wiry beast saw what
yawned ahead. He heard his mis-
tress' quick word. AS his feet touched
the brink Of the abutment the horse
coiled like a spring, and for an in
slant quivered. His mistress with a
sharp cry of command rose in her
stirrups; then launching himself and
his burden, like an arrow far out, the
hunter sprang with Helen clearly into
the river. There was a great splash
and the parted water closed over their
heads.
A pilot, captain and bridgetender
stood as men dazed, looking on. The
river captain, yelling the crew to quar-
ters, hurried forward to throw out
lines as soon as the tug should come
within reach of the imperiled girl.
The bridgetender, in the window,
glued to the scene, watched the cir
cling bubbles where horse and rider
had plunged down, waiting for them
to reappcar. For an interminable in
slant the onlookers waited. 1t seemed
as II the two would never come up.
Then a girlish head of soaked curls
rose among the ripples, a young face
emerged from the troubled pool, and
Helen. throwing herself free from
Rocket, shook the water from her
eyes and nose with a swimmers quick
