If only theyycould have had a chance of dying game-- ' ghting even certain death, for to - wait idly upon death is `the hardest task of all. Higher still the water `rose; slowly but cruelly persistent, and they were now standing in.1t up to their very chests. . Steadily . it crept up to their armpits, chill'ng. their hearts, and eagerly did they peer- up- the old shaft, but the rope came not yet,` The stones had` ceased to splash down now, and they -knew that (`lochrane had ' arrived at the top.

I - ' "Why for Elsie s sake, Jack?"- I asked her to be my wife, Jim, and she refused. Then, like the cad I was, I taunted her with you; for I suspected that you loved her. I was jealous, and I knew your worth, and a fellow like you always stands high with a woman of Elsie s stamp. Just at the time I was speaking with her, word was brought to me saying that the water had broken in and that you were among the imprisoned men." Believe me, Jim, it gave me a stab to see the way Elsie went white at the news. Then.I thought that if`I could not have her myself, I could at-least save you for her.
