flames pressing nearer than the creek
to Sunrise Cove and The Corners.
Joseph Stagg led the horse out of
the water and advised Miss Amanda
and Carolyn May to get into the seat
Of the blackboard again. Then he set

row beach, while Prince followed
YEARLY In the rear.
| 1t was rough route they followed,
but the blackened forest was still too
hot for them to pass through, had they
been able to find path. This was a
lonely strip Of shore and they saw no
living soul but themselves.
[ 1t was long tramp, and the horse
the dog, and the man were alike
wearied. Carolyn May went fast asleep
with her head pillowed In Miss Aman-
da's lap.
The latter and Joseph Stage talked
much. Indeed, there was much fol-
them to say after all these years Of
silence.
The woman, worn and scorched Of
face, looked down on the smutted and
sweating man with an expression In
her eyes that warmed him to the mar
row. She was proud Of him. And the
gaze Of love and longing that the hard.

pie that believed he had consideration
and thought only for business.
In these few hours of alarm and
close intimacy the man and the woman
had leaped all the barriers time and
pride had set up. Nothing further
could keep Joseph Stage and Amanda
Parlow apart. And yet they never for
one instant discussed the original
cause Of their estrangement. That was
q dead issue.
The refugees reached The Corr err
about nine o'clock. Jedidiah Parlow
had hobbled up to the store and was
just then organizing party of search
ers to go to the rescue of the hard
ware dealer and those of whom he had
set forth In search.
The village turned out en- masse tc

"They are indeed" agreed Aunty
Rose.
1t was a fact that Mr.. Stage was IN
bad state. Carolyn May had suggest
ed that Aunty Rose would dress hli
burns, but Miss Amanda would allow
nobody to dc that but herself.
When the curious and sympathetic
neighbors had gone and Miss Amands
was still busy making Joseph Stags
comfortable in the sitting room, Aunty
Rose came out into the kitchen, whers

not far of this trail-the top of a
great tree was on fire.
'Tho wind is carrying brands this
way" muttered the man. "a dozen
new fires will be started. Well, gid-ap,
Cherryi' and he seized the whip
again.
The horse was well spent now, but
he was plucky. He tried to increase
his stride. A hot breath Of wind came
rushing through the forest, bending
the branches and shaking the leafy
foliage. The wind seemed fairly to
scorch the fugitives.
The roaring Of the fire increased.
Through the more open woods which

advancing In thicker wall-and one
as high as the tree tops.

AS the man spoke. blazing brand
swung through the air and came down,
right on Amanda's shoulders. Carolyn
May shrieked. Joseph Stage brushed
off the burning stick.
Cherry mounted another small ridge
and then they clattered down into a
little hollow where there was a slough
beside the road. The water was green
and stagnant, but 1t was water.
The man pulled In the hard-pressed
horse and leaped down, passing the
reins to Amanda. He whipped off his
coat and dipped 1t in the mudhole. He
drew 1t out dripping with water and
slime.
Look out, herel Have to shut your

The horse started up the slope. An
other swirllng brand came down upon
them. Joseph Stagg fought 1t of with
his bare hand. His shirt sleeve caught
fire and he was painfully burned on
the forearm before he could smother
the blaze.
Another flaming brand fell, landing
on Cherry's back. The horse squealed
and leaped forward at pace which
MIR. Stage could not control. Maddened
by the burn, Cherry had taken the bit
In his teeth and was running away.
The man threw down the reins. He
could do nothing toward retarding the
frightened horses pace. Indeed, he
did not want to stop him.
His left arm he flung around Miss
