They had exchanged a few hot words and then parted in a sudden | frigidity which seized them both. She had added such scorn and dis- dain to her refusal that it was more than he could bear in silence. She had even insinuated to him that it was not herself he loved, but her father’s wealth. She had wounded him cruelly and intentionaily, and he had left her suddenly with a cold adieu. Eloise raised her own umbrella with a defiant little laugh, and a glance at the retreating figure, and them turned homeward humming a fragment of the latest opera. Her father’s bookkeeper! Presume to offer her his hand! It was too ab- surd! Thus she communed with herself as she went on up the street to her home. She tried to be angry at the presumption of the man, but in spite of herself she could not. She had always admired him—yes, in a way she had quite liked him, and it was pleasing to her vanity to know that he loved her—but, marriage—that | was another thing, indeed, and quite out of the question! For days and days it rained. It grew monotonous and wearisome. Eloise, wandering aimlessly about ; the house and drawing-room, look- | ing over a book abstractedly; striking | afew chords on the piano; going from window to window to look out at the falling rain and the dismal } landscape. was wretchedly lonesome | and ill at ease.

It had drop in for an hour or twe. The day was closing in dark and stormy. Eloise from the window looked at the swollen river, and the pools that stood here and there on the lawn. Suddenly she stood erect, and} and then she barely heard bim— looked eagerly at a well known fig- ure coming up the walk toward the | house. It was Richard Holmes. parted, her pretty head thrown) back, her dark eyes glad and bright. | “Tam glad he is coming,” she said | | softly to herself, as she stood, sur- | ; rounded by the creamy draperies of the window, waiting for him. She heard his firm step on the pi- azza. She heard him wring the bell | and then speak a few words to the | maid who opened the door. Suddenly a great roar filled all the air, drowning the voices in the hall, drowning the silver chime of the lit- tle French clock, drowning every- thing, swallowing up everything in There was a terror in it unlike the heaviest crash of thunder—a strange and ter rible menace in the sound, swelling and gathering and growing louder every moment. Eloise stood paralyzed with fear. She was powerless to cry out, to move herself; she could only stand end listen to that awful, all-prevad- ing roar. She did not think what it might mean. She had heard vague rumors of fears for the great dam above, but had not heeded. In a moment it was all over; the sound had come upon her in all its awfulness. She fell back, overpow- ered with terror, and become uncon- scious. A violent blow on her head roused her to herself. She found herself floating on the strong current, borne along at a sickening speed, upheld by the strength and fury of the roaring waters. Near her she saw the great elm tree that had stood before the house ever since she was a child. It must have been a branch of that which struck her and brought her back to life. With great, dark eyes dilated with horror, and a face white and ghastly as the faces of the dead, the girl flew along. She had caught hold of the branches of the great tree, and was clinging with a grasp like death itself. Life was sweet—too sweet to lose. In her first moment of consciousness she had thought of Richard Holmes. Where could he be? Drowned? O, God forbid—not drowned—the thought was dreadful to her. Ina flash she was revealed to herself. She loved him—loved him with her whole heart—had lov- | ed him all the time without know- ing it. What had he come to the door for that night? It seemed ages ago to her now—to bring a message of warning? Her father—was he safe? O heaven, that appalling darkness— that dreadful roar of rushing wa- ters! She raised her voice and called, “Richard!” It was lost in the roar of the flood. She tried again, sum- moning all her strenght,and sending “Richard! Richard!” Ske thought she heard a human called his name with a desperation borne of fear and love. ject was floating near her, tossing up and down on therestless current.

Thank God!” She breathed a sigh of relief. She even on the She saw that he was trying to get to her, but could not; that he dared not loose his hold of the boards and trust himself one instant in that mighty current. She could see his face, white and agonized, turned to- we rd her—always turned to her. Something had struck him, and cut a gash in his head, and the blood was trickling down his pallid cheek; she could see it from where she clung in the branches of the elm- tree. She did not know that one beau- tiful white arm was bare to the shoulder and bleeding from a cruel blow she had received—she did not realize the pain in her head where the tree had struck her—such things were trivial now. Life was the only thing to be thought of—life—and death—if death should come. A house came reeling down and struck the mass of boards to which Richard clung. The shock loosened his hold and tossed him far out in the water. The horrible under-cur- rent sucked him in and he sank from sight. The next moment his white face shone above the water. Such horror and despair Eloise had never seen as she saw there. One last ep- pealing look at her, one ery from his white lips, and he was gone again. Eloise prayed—prayed as she had never dreamed of praying before; crying aloud for help and pity in this time of need. Richard came to the surface again, near her this time. Could she reach him? Only a little nearer—he was half unconscious and could not help himself. She leaned far out over the dark torrent, holding to the ‘ce firmly with one arm and touched him with her hand—caught hit by his collar and held his head above the water as they were borne along. She called to him wildly. He heard and understood, made one great ef- fort to seize the branches of the tree, and at last with almost super- human strength, drew himself up into the sheltering arms of the old elm. There he clung with what frail strength was left him; but he was too weak for words. It was no time for speech. The scene was more terrible than any of the imagining of Dante. Great masses of timbers, that ten minutes before had been houses, came rushing by with shriek- ing women clinging to them, and little children borne along upon them. Strong men were tossing like egg-shells upon the waters, and cattle were plunging madly for life among the ruins of great barns that came crashing by. Now and then, some wild shriek or unearthly moan would mean the death-cry of a human being going down to eter- nal sleep under the roaring waters. A great mass of timbers came tearing down the highway of death; with one blow it sent the elm-tree voice, faint and far away—could it | spinning far ahead on the waters. | be his? flood had struck the house; other girls would have said, that she be somewhere near her now.

They had gone through that dreadful night togeth- er, henceforth their paths through life lay side by side. Eloise was a changed woman. What had been wrong in her became good.

Des Moines, Io., April &—The House to-day by a vote of 86 to 9 passed the Australian ballot bill. The measure was formulated by the- democratic caucus and is fashioned after the Montana law. The nine votes against it were all cast by re- publicans. The majority of those republicans who discussed the bill favored its passage but improved the opportunity to score Gov. Hill for vetoing the Sexton bill. To these accusations Holbrook replied that whatever might have been Gov. Hill’s motive in veoting the bill the democrats of Iows repudiated the action and were prepared to go om record as staunch friends of ballot ' reforra.
