CHAPTER iii.
Fall and Revelation,

"It's rather confused in here" said
the man, 'but we will soon get out
toward the end and then the view is
the river for miles and the night boat
will be along in a few minutes"
'sIsn't that it," asked the woman,
pointing up the river to where a clus-
ter Of lights rounded huge bend not
far away, and swung out In midstream.
eyes," said the man, IF we listen I
think we can hear her."
They both stopped and, sure enough,
family across the water came the
noise of clanking paddles Of the big
river steamer. With that sound also
mingled the song Of the night wind,
for a wonder comparatively gentle,
making strange, weird harmonies as it
sifted through the taut and rigid bars
of steel. She listenedsenchanted with
the sound.
The big floor beams extended from
one side to the other Of the bridge,
between the trusses at intervals OF
fifty feet. At right angles to them and
six feet apart, the StIlnSerS rau leuSLA
ways parallel to the trusses. Here and
there pieces of timber falsework had
been thrown across the stringers for
the convenience Of the workmen, but
as these two slowly moved toward mid
stream at last these pieces became
fewer, and finally there was nothing
to be seen but the heavy floor beams
and the lighter stringers.
After they passed the top Of the pier
and got beyond the small space of
river bank on which the pier was set,
there was nothing between them and
the water, now moonlit and quivering,
except these cross-girders of steel on
either hand beyond the planking in the
tracks

getful Of his caution. Before he could
complete his step or warn her of the
danger, it now bent forward. 1t tilted
distinctly. In spite of herself, eHelen
Ilingworth was carried still farther
forward as she sought to regain her
balance. The piece Of steel began to
slip downward, grating on the pile of
beams as it moved; another second
and it would be off and on its way ir-
revocably.
Meade threw himself at the girl. He
lunged out and caught her just as she
was slipping downward with the plate
now almost perpendicular. TO catch
her he had to step to the very edge OF
the planking beyond which the rails
ran naked on the ties.
With a tremendous effort he caught
her by the waist, swung her up and in,
and stood fast on the brink quivering,
heaving himself desperately backward
as he sought to maintain his balance
and take the backward step that meant
safety.
A wild shout rose from the steamer
as the huge plate dropped, like the
blade Of mighty guillotine, straight
down through the air. If it had struck
the boat, it, would have cut through
like a knife. Fortunately it cleared
the gangway by inches. In second
it had disappeared. Screams, shouts,
arose from the boat which promptly

Helen Illingworth's back had been
toward Meade as he seized her. She
had seen as he had everything that
happened. Recovering himself at last,
he stepped back. slowly, almost drag
ging her, until they we're a safe dis
lance from the edge. His face was
CHASTITY white in the moonlight. Sweat
covered his forehead. He was shaMng
like a wind-blown leaf.
'The whole world went black when
saw you co." he said slowly.
''Do you care that much?" asked the
girl, trembling herself.
There was no necessity for maidenly
reticence now.
Scare" said the man. "Care?"
''Pm all right now"
"You are more fortunate than 1.
stood to lose you, you stood to lose
only life. Don't you see? Can't you
understand"
Suddenly he swept her to his breast
as this time she faced him. sShe was
very near him and she did not make
the slightest resistance. She had wait
ed for this hour and she was glad
They had faced death too nearly fol
any hesitation now. She knew he
loved her, and knew that he had
saved her at the imminent risk Of his
own life. There had been swift yet
eternal moments when it seemed that
both Of them, trembling on the brink,
would follow the downward rush of
the gusset plate. Now as he strained
her to him, she lifted her face to him,
glad that she was tall enough for him
to kiss her with so slight bend OF
the head.
There, under the great trusses of
steel, amid the huge, gaunt, massive
evidences of the power Of the might,
Of the mastery Of man, two hearts
spoke to each other in the silence, and
told the story that was old before the
first smelter had ever turned the first
ore into the first bit of iron, before
Tubal Cain ever smote the anvil; the
story Of love that began with creation,
that will outlast all the iron in all the
hills Of the earth-that is as eternal
as it is divine!
After that wild embrace, that first
rapturous meeting of lips, he released

"But If I had not been in danger I
might not now be here in your arms.

The DETECTION in the Member.

The DETECTION in the Member.
Three days after the departure of
the nlingworth party the young en-
gineer fell i'll with follicular tonsilitis,
which is about the meanest small thing
that can lay a strong man low. He
fretted over his enforced absence from
the work and in the end had to pay for
that very fretting, for he got up too
soon and went out too quickly, and was
promptly forced to bed again as con-
sequence Of his impahence.
The Tomahawk., 1917-07-12

How young Meade faces a
great crisis and what he does in
trying to avert serious trouble
is told in a thrilling chapter in
the next instaIIment.

TIETH CENTURY DEVELOP
MENTS.

Man rarely realizes change without
comparison o. contrast. Today he
lives in furnace heated, electrically
equipped, and efficiently planned
homes without a thought of the, hum
.dreds Of years Of experimentation.
evolution, and study that were CON
tributed long before house-buildingl in
its present state Of advancement was
possible. It was not such a long tire
ago that our Puritan forefathers were
thankful for the protection afforded BY
log cabin with mud plastered walls
and low ceiling. The cooking was
usually done in a low brick oven and
the sole dependence for heat was a
large smoking fireplace through which
the smoke was frequently blown into
the room filing it with choking fumes
and gas. Windows were small in size
and ventilation was poor white glass
was an almost unknown substance and
what was to be had was both scarce
and very high in price. K
The crude facilities exerted a pro-
found influence on the manner Of liv-
ing in those days. The Puritan faith
ers had to confine their bathing to the
warm months, for a bathroom was not
the home necessity it has become to-
day. Clothing was washed in streams
in summer and in the winter months
the family linen was cleaned after a
fashion in chaldrons. beneath which a
fire was built and the dirt removed
with I've soap. Much of the heavy
work was done by the women folk
while to the men fell the responsible
ity for filling the family larder and
