N. was prepared to wtth- draw instantly should ctrcumataaoee warrant, and le was careful so to con- ceal ltmaetf as to give no possible op- portunity for her to discover kis sermtlay. With a boating Mart and sager 'styes he searched the spot ''fere lay 1fa bear aid a little dlstance away limas oa tis grass, clothed but whetle er in her right mind or not he could not tall, lay the woman. For a moment as he bent a concentrated, eager game upon her he thougbt she might have fainted or that she might have died. In any event he reflected that she had strength and nerve and will to have dressed" herself before either ot these things happened. She lay motionless under his gaze for so long that he Anally made up his mind that com- mon hummer, required him to go to her assistance He rose to tis feet on the Inatan And saw the woman also lift herself from the grass as if moved by a simi- lar impulse In his intense preoccu- pation he bad forgot to observe the signs of the times. A sense of the overcast sky came to him suddenly az it did to her, but with a difference. Hs knew what was about to happen. his experience told him mucb more as to the awful potentialities of the tempest than she could possibly imag- ine. She must be warned at once. she must leave the canon and get up on the higher ground without. delay. His duty was plain and yet he did it not. He could not. The pressure upon him was not yet stropg enough. A half dozen tithes as he watched her deliberately sitting there eating, he opened his mouth to cry to her, yet h,e could not bring himself to it. A strange timidity oppressed him: halted him. held him back. A man cannot stay away five years from men and women and be himself with them in the twinkling of an eye. And when •to that instinctive and acquired reluc- tance against which he struggled In vain, he added the assurance that whatever his message he would be 'unwelcome on account of what had gone before; he could not force'him- *elf to go to her or even to call to her, not yet. He would keep her un- Ider surveillance. however. and if'the wont came he could intervene In time to rescue her. He counted without bis coat. his usual, judgment bewtt dered. So he followed her througt the trees and down the bank. Now he was so engrossed in her and so agitated that bis caution alep, his experb-nce was forgotten. The storm in his own breast was so great that It overshadowed the storm brew ing above. Her way was easier than his and he had fallen some distlncc behind when suddenly there rusher: 'upon him the fact that a frightful and unlocked for cloudburst was about th occur above their heads. A lightning ]lash and a thunder clap at last ar tested his attention. Then. but we until then, he flung everything to tht winds and amid the sullen and almost continuous peals of thunder he sent cry after cry toward her which were lost in the tremendous diapason or sound that echoed and re-echoed through the rifts of the mountains. 'Wait," he cried again and again. "Come un higher. Get out of the canon. You'll be drowned." But he had waited too long. The storm had developed too rapidly; ahc was too far ahead of and beneath him. She heard nothing but the sound of a voice, shrill. menacing. fraught with: and tits 1111. norottO114, �aj.r�t�a Q,ia • a coortir"_Yetattg S . art awiw.an►:�`'.��, ' her TotiralreTi TTeet ?fes ITdune : , a second. 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 wet,. 'moving feebly. her eyes were closed. she was drowning, dying, but indomit- ably battling on. He stooped dov n 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 seised her she gave way suddenly, as if after having done all that she could there wan now nothing left but to trust herself to his hand and God'e. She hung a dead weight on his arm In the ravening water which dragged and tore at her madly. 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 Liu, Ilke a stone from a sling into the Oeething vortex of the mid -stream. 'But in all this he did not, or would not, release her. Such was the swiftness of the mo fist* with which they were swep' downward that he had little need to swim, his only effort was to keep les 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 11 his arms from being stricken or 'wrenched away. He knew 'hat 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 her. The chances against him were thou- sands to nothing. But what ar" chances in the eyes of God The Tian in his solitude had not forgotten tc pray, bis habits stood him in goon' stead now.. He petitioned shortly. brokenly. in brief unspoken Ivords as he battled through the long draggin - seconds. Fighting, clinging, struggling, pray- ing, he was swept on. Heavier and ' heavier the woman dragged in an un- conaclous 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 Indeed with- drawn from hsa 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. So the conscious and the un- Uonscious struggled through the nar- row of the canon. PresenUy with the rush and hurl of a bullet from the mouth of a gun. 'they found themselves in a tlhallow s through which the waters ,tin shed mightily, breaking over rocks. digging away shallow -rooted trees, leaping, biting, snarling, tearing at the )b walls spread away on either side. He had husbanded some of his• 'strength for this final effort, this last thence of escape. Below them at the other end of this open the walls came lsgether again. There the descent 'was sharper than before and the wa- fer ran to the opening with racing NPeed. Once agate ia the torrent and they would be swept to death in spite `f all.

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 And there, in the rain, by that rag- 'ing torrent whence he had drawn her ism 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 longe- ithe same. CHAPTER VII. A Wild Dash for the Hills Old Kirkby, who had been lazily mending a caddie the greater part of 'the horning, had eaten his dinner, smoked his pipe and was now stretch- ed out on the grass in the warm sun ;taking a nap. Mrs. Maitland was idrowsing over a book In the shadow of one oe the big pines, when Pete, 'Liao horse wrangler, who had been brrandering rather tar down the canon ;rounding up Use ever straying stock, ! 'suddenly came bursting into the camp. "Great God Almighty" be Dried, actually kicking the praetrate froa- ;tlenman as he almost stumbled over 'him. "Wake up, old man, an'—" i "What thea—" began Kirkby fierce- ly. thus rudely aroused from slumber and resentful of the daring and most tunusual affront to his dignity and sta- tion since all men, and eepecially the younger ones, beld him in Bleat hon - tea. "look here," yelled Peter in grow- ling excitement and entirely oblivious to lis lose-ma3estie, pointing at a cloud rolling over the top of tbe range. "It'll be a cloudburst sure. Well have to sit out o' here an' in a 1�7'y too. Oh, Mrs. Maitland." By this time Kirkby was on his feet, the storm bad stolen upon him sleeping and unaware. The conflgura- tilo& of the canon hed completely hid its approach. At beet the three in the camp could not have discovered 11 �tatfl it was high in the heavens. Now cloud■ were already apyraoching noonday sun. Kirkby was aUv. to Cha situation at once. Be had the rare ability of men of action of awakeatng with all his faculties at instant com- mand.
