CONNOR MAUAN'S LUCK. "I'M in luck, hurrah:" cried Connor .lagan, as he threw up his brimless hat into the nir the ringing, jubilant shout he sent after it could only spring from the reservoir of glee in the heart of a twclvo year-old 'hoy. (Jiving a push to tlin skill in which bis father fat waitin.- for him, he jumped from the shore ' to o the boat, and struck out into the Ohio Hiver. Tim Miigan, father, and Connor IMagitn, son. wero central figures in a very strange picture. Let us take in the situation. It was a Western spring freshet. The Ohio was on a rampage a turbulent, coffee-colored stream, it had tisen far beyond its usual boundaries, washed out the familiar landmarks, ami, still insolent ami greedy, was licking tho hanks, as if preparatory to swallowing up the whole country. Trues torn up by tho roots, their green branches waving high above tho Hood, timbers Irani "cottages, and. wrecks from bridges, were floating down to tho Gulf -of Uixico. It was curious to watch the various things in tho water as they sailed slowly along. Demijohns bobbed about. Empty store boxes mockingly labeled dry goods olbowed bales of ha'. Sometimes a weak cock-a-doodlo-doo from a traveling chicken-coop announced the whereabouts of a helpless though still irrenressible rooster. Hack varus had onei-ood1' and amid the ircneral do- ,.

Here the deep current sets close to tho shore, making a wild kind of whirlpool or eddy that brings driftwood almost to land; the rippling water makes a sudden turn and scoops out a little cove hi tho snnd. It is a splendid place for fishermen, but quite dangerous for boats. Not far above Cullum's Ripple is situated the Magitn family mansion or shanty. The river is on one sldo and two parallel railroads are on the other. On tiio top of the bank, and on a level with tho railroads," is a pieco of land not much longer or wider than a ropewalk, ami on this only available scrap the railroad company have built a few temporary houses for their workmen. They arc all alike, except that a morning-glory grows over Magan's door. fjio colony is called Twlnrip, possibly the short of "Between Strip."

Ikit the boy knew some things by heart that could not be learned at school. To his ear, the steam whistle of each boat spoke its name as plainly as if it could talk.

The poor shabby furniture looked more than ever dilapidated in the open daylight. The social air of a home that was lived in pervaded this temporary haggagc room hntwenn the tracks. One child was asleep in a cradle, others were eating I their coarse food off a board. When a sprinkling of rain fell, an old grand- i mother under an umbrella fastened to" a lied post went on knitting serenely. ! Youngsters, who needed rubbers and watnrtmmfs about as much as did Newfoundland dogs, enjoyed the fun.

Connor could see the Hood was still rising, and there were possibilities of a splendid catch, for it was daylight, and they could go where they pleased with Larry's boatFather and sou pushed out into tke river. Connor felt as if he owned the world. Short sticks and staves were put in the bottom of the boat. Iloth i lishermen hail a long pole with a sharp ami secureu it. When the dripping logs were long and hcaw, it was the custom to fastea them witli the rope close to a stake in the bask, and leave them floating.

Then, while the water was streaming from him ia every direction, he sprang up the few steps to his mother's cabin, and without a word placed the child, still in the wagon, inside the door! Running back as swiftly as his feet wouid carry him, Connor nau tne goou luck to find the deserted boat close to shore, jammed in a mass of drift-wood, just in the turn of the Ripple. Dragging it up and along the shore, he fastened it to a fisherman's stake just by Twinrip.

May 1 keep her then? She may have half of my bread and milk." lkibies were no great rarity in Twia-
np, but never was there such a happy. brisrht-eved little maiden as this waif proved to be. Among the children she glowed like a dandelion in the grass, and reigned like a queen among ker subjects. Connor was the scholar of the family, and at lengtk his conscience was sufficiently roused to make him indite an advertisement which did him much credit. He hoped it might be placed hi some obscure corner of the paper where it would be oveWooked. But next day, in a conspicuous part of the Cincinnati CommercM, with four little hands pointing to it, appeared this rather unusual notice: w mi 1 i 1 i "Fowwlla tbeO'aki Klver r lUy in white drew with black eyes xwl ml hwrseboe rouml her neck, now belrtHirlasr to Ohihot .MmrAn. Jf the father ami mother are not drowsed they cn efiijuire at the hue of Tim Mimb In Twitirtfi. where all i convenient tor her whh a cow Klven by the 1'reildeat. X jihs others need awty." It was but the very next day after the " ad" appeared that a wagon drove down to Twinrip with the lather and mother of the baby. Didtft they cry and kiss and hug the lost, the found child! They lived on a farm in Palestine, a few miles up the river. A little stream ran into the Ohio close by their door, and tke baby was often tied in her carriage and placed oa the bridge under the charge of a faithful dog. It was a great amusement for her to watch the ducks and geese in the water. A sudden rise swept bridge and all away. Search had been made everywhere, but nothing had been heard of little Minnie. It had seemed like a return from death to read Connor s advertisement. And was not the brave lad that saved their child a hero! Again aad again they made him tell all about tke rescue. Of course they had to take their daughter home, but they made Connor promise to visit them at Palestine. Soon after the happy parents left, a watch came by express to the Magan homestead, aad when Connor opened the hunting-case cover, after changing its position till he could see something besides his own twisted face re Bee ted in it, and after wiping away the spr.iy that would come into his eyes, lie read: CON.VOR MAG AN. Fro the j-rateful pareat of Mixme KtVF.as. Was not her name a prophecy? At the sill of the Magan homestead the flood had stopped, hesitated, ami then gone back. Maggie always saki she knew it would they always had good luck. The little woman was happier than ever when she thought of the whole train of people that ntvjkt have been thrown into the ditch of the catoff legs, arms aad heads, aad the poor creatures without them that might have been cast bleeding on the track, if it had not been for her faithful old Tim and of the home with niver a baby, and of the darlint that would have been drowned la the bottom of the Ohio with her cars and eyes full of mud. if it had not been for ker slip of a boy. As for Connor, he felt as if that brigbt-eyed girl belonged to him, and now that he had a watch towards it, he seemed almost a ready-made Con ductor. When the waters subsided and he went back to school, he studied with a will. His percentage grew kigker. 'Sometime," he said to himself, "I will go to Palestine. I will be sombody maybe a Conductor! And a beautiful vouag womaa with soft black eyes will wave her haadkerchief to me as 1 pass by in my train! And after I make a lot of money" how full the world is of money that young people are so sure of getting'' after i make this money I will bring Minnie back with met And she will hye in my house with me!
