It sounded to her over- wrought nerves so utterly inhuman that she only ran the fas'xter The canon swerved and then dou- bled back, but he knew its .direction. Losing sight of her for the moment he plunged straight ahead through the trees, cutting off the bend, leaping with superhuman agility and streng'h over rocks and logs until he reached a point where the rift narrowed be- tween two walls and ran deeply. There and then the heavens opened and the floods came and bent into the open maw of that vast crevice and filled it in an instant. As the. deluge came roaring down, bearing onward the sweepings and scourings of the mountains, he caught a glimpse of her white desperate face rising, falling, now disappearing. now coming into view again, in the foamy midst of the torrent. He ran to the cliff bank and throwing aside his gun he scrambled down the wall to a cer- tain shelf of the rock over which the rising water broke thinly. Ordinarily 'ithw‘as twenty feet above the creek bed. Bracing himself against a jagged projection he waited praying. The could have leaped to the other side and yet it was too narrow for him to reach her if the water did not sweep her toward his feet. It was all done in n eecond. Fortunately a projection on the other side threw the force of the torrent toward him and with it came the woman. . She was almost spent. She had been struck by a log upheaved by some mighty wave, her hands were moving feebly, her eyes were closed. she was drowning, dying, but indomit- ably battling on. He stooped down and as a surge lifted her, he threw his arm around her waist and then he braced himself against the rock to sustain the full thrust. of the mighty flood. As he seized her she gave way suddenly, as if after having done all that she could there was now nothing left but to trust herself to his hand and God’s. She hung a dead weight on his arm in the ravening water which dragged and tore at her madly. Such was the swiftness of the mo- tion with which they were swept downward that he had little need to swim, his only effort was to keep his head above water and to keep from being dashed against the logs that tumbled end over end or whirled sideways, or were jammed into clus- ters only to burst out on every hand. He struggled furiously to keep him- self from being overwhelmed in the seething madness, and what was harder, to keep the lifeless woman in his arms from being stricken or wrenched away. He knew that below the narrows where the canon widened the water would subside, the awful fury of the rain would presently cease. -If he could steer clear of the rocks in the broad he might win to land with He was a man of giant strength, but the struggle bade fair to be too much even for him. It seemed as if the mountain behind him was giving way. He set his teeth, he tried des- perately to hold on, he thrust out his right hand. holding her with the oth- er one. and clawed at the dripping rock in vain. In a moment the tor- rent mastered him and when it did so it seized him with fury and threw him like a stone from a sling into the seething vortex of the mid-stream. But in all this he did not, or would not. release her. The chances against him were thou- sands to nothing. But what are chances in the eyes of God! The man in his solitude had not forgotten to pray, his habits stood him in good stead now. He petitioned shortly, brokenly, in brief unspoken words as he battled through the long dragging seconds. her. Fighting, clinging, struggling, pray- ing, he was swept on. Heavier and heavier the woman dragged in an un- conscious heap. It would have been easier for him if he had let her go; she would never know and he could then escape. The idea never once oc- curred to him. He had indeet With- drawn from his kind, but when one depended upon him all the old appeal of weak humanity awoke quick re- sponse in the bosom of the strong. He would die with the stranger rath- er than yield her to the torrent or admit himself beaten and give up the fight. 80 the conscious and the un- conscious struggled through the nar- row of the canon. Presently with the rush and hurl of a bullet from the mouth of a gun, they found themselves in a. shallow lake through which the waters still rushed mightily. breaking over rocks. and almos digging hway shallow-room tn“. leaping. biting, snarling. tearing at the bi: walls spread any on either side. He had husbands-d some of his strength for this final eflort, this lut chance of escape. Below them at the other end of this open the walls came tcgetber again. There the descent was sharrer than before and the wa- ter ran to the opening with racing sreed. Once again in the torrent and they would be swept to death in spite of all. Shifting his grasp to the woman's hair, now unbound, he held her with one hand and swam hard with the other. The current still ran swiftly but with no gigantic upheaving waves as before. It was more easy to avoid floating timber and debris, and on one The pine stood in the midst of the’ water, for even on the farther side the earth was overflowed, but the wa- ter was stiller. He did not know what might be there, but he had to chance it. Lifting her up he sterred out. fortunately meeting firm ground. A few paces and he reached solid rock above the flood. He raised her above his head and laid her upon the shore then with the very last atom of all his force, physical, mental and spiritual: he drew himself up and fell panting and utterly exhausted but triumphant by her side. 'For a few seconds he strove to re cover himself, then he thought of the flask he always carried in his pocket. It was gone. His clothes were ragged and torn; they had been ruined by his battle with the waves. The girl lay where he had placed her on her back. In the pocket of her hunting shirt he noticed a little protuberance. The pocket was provided with a flap and tightly buttoned. Without hesitation he unbuttoned it There was a flask there, a. little silver mounted affair; by some miracle it had not been brok- en. It was half full. With nervous hands he opened it and poured some of it down her throat; then he bent over her, his. soul in his glance, scarcely knowing what to do next. Presently she opened her eyes. The cloudburst was over, but the rain still beat down upon them, the thunder still roared above them, the lightning still flashed about them, but they were safe, alive, if the woman had not died in his arms. He had done a thing superhuman. No man know- lng conditions would have believed it He himself would have declared a thousand times its patent impossibil- “SEE THAT BALD- HEADED ity. And there, in the rain, by that rag- ing torrent whence he had drawn her as it were from the jaws of death by the power of his arm, in the presence of the God above them, this man and this women looked at each other and life for both of them was no longer the same.
