He called Jerrojd aside. When lie heard what Jetrold had to say, he counseled him to preserve strict silence.

She nit the surging waters closing aroand her, aad surrendered herself to death without a straggle. Then she beWhen dimly conscious of life again, she s offered indescribable agony. A mountain of waters was pressing her downward. Pains racked her back, her neck; Her lunbe seemed to be torn from her. In her agony she moaned. Thea a voice sounded in her esn. The voioe like the roll of thundM1 it filled. M m. Teath m . Indeed, horrible. Conkr anvthjag-f'' irtsJUeadun it? Then she became uncoi -nous again. Her next sens at m was one of ey Q ma tte relief. She had passed the bonnlary line. She was ha heaven. There was no pafei. No weight. No feeling such as she exaerieneed in the other world. She kuewihat she existed further she knew notlfhTf, cared for nothing. one is breauoiur more aaturaUy now. Sear Bese ooened her eves. An old man was looking at her. She moved her eyes. A woman stood with her back to her. The woman turned that instant, and advanced to her. Don't speak. Lie quiet. Sleeo. if yon'waat to. Yoa an with friends. unman aarare is a puzzle, rxpse Vomers burst Into tears. Then there, my dear." said the old man, "you will be well soon. Ton an wiiak now you will be strong again in an h'Ur or two, you will see. roar Jtose. She was crying bet axe, wsbsHxht back to life.xhi her husband was dead. Sive would rather be ia heaven. Bat she closed her eyes again iii a delicious languor,-and instantly fell soand asleep. When she woke again then waa vmly the woman near her. There was a dim Hriit the light issued front a small lamp. Boss Somen looked around her curiously. Yes, she was in some sort of a house. It' was a log house. She'eould lust make oat that the spaces between the logs wen "chinked." The floor was made of rery broad hoards. Then was no iga of a carpet or rag. She was lying on a bed. There was something over in the corner of the room that looked like a bed on the floor. She "managed to raise herself on her-eltiow. hoc was quite strong, one sat bok nprjiht. When was she? How did she come there? Was Algernon then too? Ia aa instant her feet were on the floor. She weald ask the man that was ao dnam; it was all real bow or the woman where bar husband was. So; ftrvoahi be ingratitude, to disturb Somen pondered lone, siti.ina there an the bedside. Then she resolved to look on the bed in the corner. Possibly Algernon was lying there, within arm's length of her. She stole softly ever the floor and looked down upon the face ia the corner. It was a woman's face, but not the face she had seen below she fell asleep. 8he turned aroand, staginnd back to the bed, and, sinking upon it, moaned. Her disappointment was more than human heart could bear. Instantly a agure stole into the room and a votes Boss recalled said: "What is it? Do not be afraid, Nothing eaa harm yoa hen." 'Pardon me; I could not help it." said Eose, between her sobs. "I thought my husband might be hen ia this very house; but I know he is dead. We sank together in that awful deluge." "He msy be living as you an. Hope for the beet. Can I do anything more for jon?" "No; a thousand thanks for all your kindness. I will try to go to sleep again. I hope I shall not disturb yoa any more." "Tea do -aot. disturb as. I hope you will sleep soundly; yoa will bi the better of it" " Then the ngnre' disappeared, and Bose Semen was left alone again with her thoughts. She lay awake hours seemingly, and then sank into a peaceful sleep. She was aroused the next morning by a crackling sound. It was fat meat frying. The odor of the fat was borne into the room, She coughed. Presently a middle-aged, eare-woni.looking woman entered. "How do you feel now?" The woman looked at her kindly. "Tory vraB. I want to get up." " fee well but yoa must wait a tainute." . Then was a hesitancy in the woman's speech that puzzled Hose. She disappeared, and returned in' it few minutes carrying a pair of trousers, vest, sad coat in her arms. Kose looked at her in astonishment as she said: "These an all we have for yon io wear. I I gave my other clothes to some women who oame hen' before you wen brought in. I haven't a .skirt left, even. Than isn't a blessed bit of woman's clothing round, either. "Mast I wear them?" "I don't see what else you can do. You don't want to lio hod, and you might as weB better wear theso than try to go with a blanket or quilt around yoa." "Oh, I ought to be thankful," Boss red, as tae woman disappeared. ot wp ana dressed aerseiz in man's attire, wonderingry. What next? She might aa well be ia another world. AH traces of the world she knew bad disappeared. breakfast will be ready in a minute," said the woman, looking in at the door. The shake-down ia the corner was vacant. Where was the woman who slept then? Bese entered the next room. This was where the fat was fryHj, "A small table was placed near the solitary small window in this room, which served 'he puroose of kitchen, dining. and living-room. Then were but two

in the jog bouse, ' 1

Sitting beside the table MM a curious ! Ago re. The figure was boved down. The hands were orossed ore:- the figure's ' breast. The head was unmistakably a j woman's, but the garb what was it the j woman wore? I This Centre was swnvino from side trt

side, with the head bownd, tbe chin almost touching the breast. "This poor woman has lat her child," said the woman of the house. A sad face was turned to Bose. It was a beautiful f pee, but jus! now it looked to Bose as if all the joy had loft the poor woman fonver. "You two never knew eaoh other, I ex pact. I told John like as not you'd never seen eaoh other. "Sorrow makes us one " said Bose. simply, as she held out a hand, which tne otner woman clasped fervently, say. ing: "I don't care what becomes of me. ', wish I was dead. I want io die " It was pitiful to hear her. It was more trying to look at her bowl id head. Bose felt how impossible it was for her to say anything that coold comfort this noor woman. For the first time in her life she felt how weak words an ' low puerile in hours of great affliction. "If I could only see my babe if I did not touch it, even, bntjiever to see it again what have I done that I am punlsnea tms way?" "The breakfast is ready now," said the woman of the house, "ion two must eat. It isnt much we've got to offer suoh as it is I'm glad to give yor. You'n both welcome to all we have, suid the woman, simply. " Sit up now, my 1 tear, and eat a one. jouui A man entered. Bose reoognixed the race sue saw in tne nig.' it. John was middlo-aged. A man with sun-burned face and horny, wrinkled hands. A man who e irned bis bread "in the sweat" of his face. A very siutple-mannered, arraignt-xorwara man. He sat down at one aide of the table, Bose and the other women sat opposite him. Then the woman of the house seated herself, and the mtn, bowing his head, asked a blessing. "Now, help yourselves, do," said the woman as the man placed upon tfceir plates a pientrnu amount or iinsp nreaxfast bacon. Then wen fresh biscuits and good butter, and plenty of cream. Tbe man and woman tailed for the pur pose of turning the mind of the woman wno lost hercnud trom her dead. Kose, realizing this, aided them, and in doing it, somehow experienced wondeifni relief. In this way she learned how she be came an inmate of the log cabin, and the particulars, or all that wai -known, concerning the young moih'ir, who, after trying to eat, sat nibbling at a small piece or a Disouit listening to the outers. "Yoa see, it rained airful it rained Wednesday and Thursday. X never did hear suoh rain," said the woman. "I told John I mean on Friday morning just oeroro areas: or day wnen a got up 1 eooldn't sleep for the rain says I, Til hold you, then isn't a nheep alive if they're in the told.' Thiit's a erik by this time." "It was, most," said John. "I had hard work savin' em. "But we never dreamed of trouble yesterday, except we knew tho meadow was ruined with all the sand 'Sowing ovei it, the orik cama up so, runniu' all over it. John, he had his handu full hardly stopped to eat a bite, working around generally. 1 was looking out of the window back of your head there, sitting just here, when I seen something unusual. I went to the door, and there was a house floating down, an' people crying for help. Their screams was awful. I'll never forget them to my dying day. John ran into the bam to get a rope. He flung it out an' a girl caught it, but she couldn't hold it a minute, the river run so fast. Tho house just then turned over something must have happened and we never saw another live soul near it. "There was a whole lot of thinsa all over the river then everything you could name ana mere were people Holding to logs and everything they could put hands on. John threw the rope to two men, and thev cot ashore somehow. I couldn't tell how. There were some near the Bhore. Then the orik backed up. and the drift got up in it that waa when he louna you. ttose started. ' "You was Ivinc on a lot of boards. The boards wera. jcrftfiswise. Our neighbors jugk-Yer the hill, they cameto gee the flood; by an' by others came the Sands and the Didberta were there, all trying to help people who floated pact. An' they saved a good many. Bat they said you was dead. Then wasn't a sign of life about you. John, he stood on a long board and leaned out in ths eddy where yon were turning 'round, and then he fell in. But he held on to the board like death." So would you, said John, calmly. He got on the board again und reached out for the board nearest him. and pulled all the boards yoa were on, Jim fsandu, ne s got nis wits always be waded nglit in the crik, an' got hold; too, just in time before a big tree swung up iu the eddy. They got up to you, and brought you right up to the house. I said you were dead, but Jim Sands 'lowed vou wasn't: he'd seed men brought to after drownin' often. A master hand is Jim Sands. Well, he worked with vou. and Mrs. Didbert helped, an' we all hud our hands full; an' iu a little while we knew Jim was right. But it was gettin dark by that time, and Mrs. Didbert bad to go back home. She had to hunt clothes for a j dozen women folks that hadn't a stitch on ' them. The men were just its bad not s one had a coat or vest on, an' some hadn't anything. ' But we wen glad they were living." "Some didn't can whether they lived or not," said John. "I never want to go through it again." "It waa Jim Sands if it hadn't been for hia judgment " "Come, now, Sairy, you helped just as much," snid John. "Yon got tbe warm flannels, and rubbed, and did just as much as Sands.'' "Well, anyhow you camo t;o, and we were glad of it thoa. the Sands, they had their hands full while Jisa was here. They saw this woman holding on to the roof of a house, with her head just out of water. They've a big skiff, and they were right out in all that wreck, and took her out just hi time. She was not able to walk a step, so they carried her up he.e. She was lying on tbe floor all night; we'd put you on the bed. I reckon a dozen or more were picked out by the Didberta and Sands. Anyhow, there was enough woman folks to take every bit of women's wear. Tho clothes were all tore off them. Here and thera one had something left. They were all crazy every one, except an old man, who said he didn't know why God spared the most useless one after taking all his sons and daughters. He came in ani looked at you before he went away. They all made their way over the hills; there's no neighbors here much. They had to get help we couldn't give." Bose listened to this spellbound. It exceeded anything she hail read in fiction. "Where are we now? How for are we from " ' "Front Johnstown? 'Bout six miles," said John. "Only six miles!" Hose's heart leaped. "Then I can go bock then to-day--at once." John shook his head. "I don't see how. You can't go the river road it's flooded way back three miles up the crik an' they say the railroad bridges are washed away above and below. Yoa couldn't get up to Johnstown if you crossed the river. If s more'n nine mile aoross tbe country to the station the roads are awful 'tween here and New P lore nee it would take you longer" "But how am I to get to Johnstown? My friends will be distracted. The sooner I can let them know I am living the better." "I don't see no way now.. You can't' walk up and down the mountains you'd set lost anyhow if yon tried," John said. "Well, but I can't stay here. How for is it to a telegraph station?" "Now you ask me what I can't tell. I know one thing, Jim SanSs says there hint a wire standing. Tti y've tried to get word to Philadelphia nud Pittsburg aad had to give it up. The country's wild back then in Sang Hollow.'' John shook his head toward the mountain side. Bose drank her coffee in silence and reflected. She ate anothor biscuit, and by ffcat time she felt strong enough to undertake anything. She said as much. The woman of the house laughed at her. "Nonsense! You can't do anything for a day or two, till we get some way to

take you two to the river road. Than

aiL"Botlcan't. I must not stay here, 1 muat get to the railroad. "You oan't get back to Johnstown then,' said John. "You're both weloome hert for wueks." "I ehall walk to the nearest station to day, "said Hose, resolutely. "You can do as you please," said' the woman of the house, "only you may ai well stay with us as go to another bouse.' "If I can reach the nearest station 1 can find some way to get word to mj friends if I can't go to them. I muat send word to mv f K inds. She began to hope her husband wat living. It was like donth to st y nn houi longer with these people, simply grand ana sinaiy as toey naa proved thom selves. John was a horo in common lift bis sister a woman who was ready to perform her duty at all times. The woman who bod lost her child listened to this with eyes shifting from ont to tne otuor. "I'll po, too." "Well." said John, "if you two an co ing, I don't know but you ought to gc together. But I'd rather you'd wait till 1 can find" a hone for you to ride yoo might spell eaoh other; it would be a heap easier." "No, no! We have given you sufficient trouDio more tuan you can ever be re. warded tor now, said ose. Will you give me your name, sir? I want to tell mv friends who saved my life. "John Franklin, and my sister's called ear an. ttame name never married. Neither of us two married." "How are you two going to travel is them clothes?" S'irnh asked. "I don't can what I wear I want to go wnen l can ser.d word to my friends. That is stl I think of now." "And I want to go where there is news coming. I want to go where I can gel down the river to look for my dead baby. xt will bo somewhere 1 must find my nMwlM.1,. T'lln..D.of till T RnA said the mother, weeping afresh, "Can't you find them hats somewhere. John? I'd give tbem my sunhonnet, only now wouia tney iook wnu your old clothes and any sort of bonnets? "I guess I can rako up an old straw hat somewhere, oairy and there s another. "No!" said Bose, resolutely. "You won that in the house. It is all you have." "No, it isn't. I've another just as good." "I want to see the other, then." John was a long time getting the other. When he handed it to her he leaked guilty. A tinge of color rose in bis wrinkled cheeks. It was torn and battered. "This will do mo very well," said Bose, and she refused to take tbe best. "Be you two going right now? I wish yoa wouldn't you'll never And way." your "The power that has preserved our Uvea will sustain us, Mibs Franklin, said Bose. Now. tell us the nearest way to New Florence." John soratched his head. I don t know as you can do fetter but it's awful foolish -than to keep right straight over the hills. Don't go up to the top yoa'II have to travel Tient half-way up. Baok a mile you'll strike Didbert's, and near them is Dick Sands'. 'Lona a mile or so straight back is Bob Sands' and Jim. Then you'll find plenty of forms for awhile, but like as net there won't be a hone or wagon, and the roads nobody is mskinK much head-witv on them now. Everything's so torn up by this flood." Bose turned and kissed Sarah Franklin on either cheek. Then she extended a hand to John. - y-Good-by. and mayvood reward you until I can return sometihue better than words for all I owe you." 11 guess i d oeuergo along with you two." JKose shook her head. Sarah kisced tbe weenine mother, who elao shook John's hand convulsively; then these two survivors of the flood walked slowly but resolutely up the mountain side, while John and Sarah Franklin stood watching them. "And to think, Sairy. I never thought to ask them their names." Never fret, John: th one with the coat on will be sure to let you know who she is, and she will tell you all about tho one wearing your old red 'wnmus.' I wouldn't let tho oilier co if Uie one vou took out of the river didn't look like as if she could take care of both. TO BS CONTINUED. Conundrums. What is die difference between an apple and a pretty girl? One you squeeae to get cider, and the otlieryou get side her to squeeze. Why are tie makers of the Armstrong guns the gitlst thieves in her Majesty's service? Because they rifle all the guns, forge the materials, and steel all the gun breeches. Why is a stick of candy like a race horse ? T 1 e more yoq lick it the faster itgoes. ' If you had to swallow a man what kind would yon prefer? A little London porter. What is n (hat will give a cold, cure a cold and pay the doctor's bill? A draught. Whydon tuiey build mills on the Mississippi river? Why, dam it they can't. Why is the north pole like an illicit whisky maanfactorr? It is a aeoret still. If thirty-tyro is the freezinir point. what is the squeezing point? Two .in the shado. When did Ctcsar first (to to the Irish ? When he crossed the Rhine and went back to bridge it. Why is Satan always a gentleman? Because, being the imp of darkness, he can never be imp-o'-light. Why may carpenters reasonably be lieve there is no such thiug as stone? Because they never saw it. Philosophy of the Day. If every man could have his wav the world would be almost depopulated. The man who never knows the time of day ia always too late or too early to wait. " Trusts are combinations of men and corporations that cannot trust one another. Truths differ. Sometimes they are told to a man's face and sometimes behind his baek. The man that guesses at probabilities often overreaches the man that waits for the truth. A denouncer of the drama is often a terrifying character in the drama of his own conscience. - Much sympathy is thrown away on an ambulance patient. It may be only a case of plain drunk. Sometimes it is wiser to beg pardon than to fight. The other follow may be bigger and a black eye is a cloud. Sot Exactly a Minister. "Isn't that pretty steep?" replied a man who was asking for a railroiid ticket to Lansing. "Usual rate, sir." "But don't yoa sometimes make a discount?" "Sometimes to clergymen.

"To put this business on a cash basis, Mr. Peduncle," said tho father of the young lady, "in caBe you marry Irene yon must have something to live on. What aro your expectations?" "Why, as to that, sic," replied tho somewhat embarrassed young man, "I shouldn't expect much at tho start. Though it's kind of you to ask. May I inquire the amount of life insurance you carry?"

THE reception at the residence of the American Minister was about the tallest thing I have been at for some time, says Bill Nye in one of his letters to the Chicago Herald. The home of Mr. Beid is just oa tne unong Eliza and is a. palace in every, sense. The White House actually becomes a wiawam in comparison. It comes high, but Whiter law is bound to nave it. ne pays, as every one knows, $2,600 per year more rent than his salary amounts to, and! jthnt shows his desire to do hte thing debt. The entrance is very maauifl-' pent indeed, and tbe residence itself; is not only very grand, but richly fur-: aiiohcd. Wbitelaw is a great social snc-l iceus. and for that we should honor him t the start. I have had no diplomatic el at ions with bim, hnt socially We understand each other first rate.

Mr. and Mrs. Hill and, daughter were here. Mr. Hill is tbe (President of the St. Paul, Minneapolis' land Manitoba Hallway. The two Misses 'Hill am nniaA fnv thfliv aotaarIiIa man. 5 something interesting to meet. One' never hears either of the Misses Hill refer to the cost of their dresses, nor tell how much money pa has spent on Scabs and tips since they came abroad., (Among others were Mrs. Helen Dnuvray Ward and Charles Kheinhart,! John Hay and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Benrf E. Abbey, and Theodore Tilton. Tbe, band, after three weeks rehearsal, played; "Yankee Doodle and "Hail Columbia."; The fountains squirted and the pink ispinnl columns of. the American contingent gleamed in the soft, voluptuous; light along with the bald heads of eminent men. By tbe way, the American Minister; cannot poke fan at me much longer on the dome business, for ho has a goodfized skating rink on the back of his; head which the cartoonists ought to util-' z. We compared think tanks last evening, and although I do not claim any-! thing in that line he is getting, as I say,, jiulte . Olid jn ton. However, Mr. . and HUB 8TJBV1TIRO BEtD'8 BALDNESS. Mrs. Beid are ably and luxuriously rep-j resenting the United States and hold ud tbe national fabric in good shape, a thing whioh in former years we have not had too mueh of in our foreign ministers. Otuj ministers have been, in. many instonoea a disgrace to the pulpit, i Frenchmen, old ones, I mean, have aj way of brushing their hair forward when; they get bald, which I am going to adopt.i They part the hair iu the neighborhood oi! the shoulder blades and work it all forward. It looks real cute. I dined in the tall tower the other day. and, while the green grass lay far below) in little squares and the plan of Paris was laid out beneath my eye, I ate thd loftiest dinner I have ever become the proprietor of. I would not live always i if I had to board in tbe Eiffel TowerJ You see the restaurants have to pav 25 pe i cent of their receipts tor tbe privilege 08 being there, and tnen they have to haul the provender up so far and there is no competition, that altogether I am glad 1 do not have to take my meals there.

If LI i'

Marry Early, If at Alt The growing disposition of men to marry late in life is a very serious evil of modern society. Suoh men usually marry younger women, who, in the natural order of thiugs, maybe expeoted io survive them. Even where' widowers enter again into matrimony, they do not often take for wives women of a corresponding, or an approximately corresponding ago, but young maides, who are likely to bo left widows. The greater longevity of women has even induced some philosophers to advise that, on the contrary, ths wife should be older than tbe husband; and there have been some notable marriages where that was the case. The law of nature commonly stands in opposition to suoh iinionn, though it cannot be denied that the woman with whom a lad first falls iu love is very apt to be much his senior. He would marry her if she would have him foi? a husband; but she looks on him as a mere boy, and usually refuses to take his love seriously. The natural tendency of a woman to marry older men seems to be as strong oa it is for men to marry younger women, else tho amorous luds would receive an amount of encouragement which might put the average superiority iu age on the side of the brides. It is best for the man and for the race that he should marry early, if he is to marry at all. Any great disparity of age between husband and wife is a misfortune. It is better for them to grow old together, so that in the usual coarse of nature the man and the woman will reach the end without any great difference in time between them. Very Risky IndeeO. To tamper with ymptoma Indicative ot growing kidney dlnorder; to negleot for a brief time needful stimulation of the renal organs when their Inactivity points, as it always and nnmls. takablydoea, to their eventual permanent disease, is certainly very risk; 'udeed. This Is, however, a risk tbat many persona perceptibly drifting into Bright' ili.wftio, diabetes, catarrh of the bladder, etc, constantly incur. To those who read, reflect and need the lessons ot recorded experience, the advisability of using Hostctter' Stomach Bitters as a diuretic nesds scarcnly more tban a suggestion. No fact in mors generally admitted by the medical profession and the public than its efficacy for tbe prevention of serious renal disease. The umnedlcofeed e2.clta.nta of oouimerco, no matter how- pure, betti in mind, react prejudicially upon the kidneys when inactive. The Bitters subdues malaria, constipation and rheumatism. Will Writing Become a Lost Art ! "Will the coming man write? Not at all. There will be no more need of his learning to write than of his learning to spin, Writing .will have become one of tho lost arte, and a wholly unnecessary art, by the time the coming man appears. His writing will be done by the phonograph, which will be placed on his desk aa. pens and ink are now, and whenever he has a story, a poem, an essay, or a private letter to indite he will simply talk into the the phonograph and eend on the plate whioh has recorded his words. The teaching of penmanship will be unknown in the school of the future, and writing, in the present fashion, will be regarded as much among barbario methods aa we Inow hold the rude hieroglyphics of the ancients to be.
