RESCUES JWEETHEART
Girl Drags Drowning Lover From
Water and Thereby Mends
Breach.
By WALTER JAMES DELANEY.
"I wouldn't go out tonight, HMia
beth, If I were you," spoke querulous,
rheumatic old Grandma Danby.
"I must, grandma." was the reply,
firm yet pained, and the old woman
glanced keenly at the young face
wearing care and sorrow, and
sighed, and then was silent, gating
sadly, dreamily Into the flickering
grate.
"Dear child," crooned the old
woman, aa Elisabeth threw a cape
across her shoulders and flitted from
the room. "Dear, poor child—l
know! I know!"
Yes, indeed, ths old dam* knew, for
when the fires of youth war* hers she
had loved and lost There was rude
comfort at the little oottage, a penalon
and enough to make her grandchild
Independent, but love that had cheer
ed the lonely life of the fair young
girl had 'seared her heart with a cruel
blow, and had left her what aha was—
a cheerless, solitary being, llvlpg only
in one fond memory of the past.
That past, how golden It had been —
and only a year agone! Jnat a year
this very night, not chill and sera, al
though September-like now, but a
star-spangled evening of aweet
sounds, a stroll along the whispering
sands, and troth plighted under the
great, stately Sim tifht bad shaded
the old brOok tor over a century.
Those strange, sinuous whispering
sands, ever moving, ever singing a
siren-like dirge—but on that night of
nights they had seemed to wesve a
sweet melody of hope, and promise,
and . love. Then under the' great elm
where each had promised, no matter
how widely parted, no matter what
might happen, to return there upon
each anniversary aa to a shrine devoted
to a love undying, eternal.
"It was all my fault," moaned Elis
abeth, as slowly, sadly aba started

Alarm.
down ths edge of the sand reach, a
wgtery lftoon casting dim, weird shad
ows across hsr path. "Oh, why wss I
jealous, why was I so impulsive and
cruel I"
She recalled ths May day festival
at the village where she had been so
proud of hsr lover, Randal Grey, and
then so Irrationally Jealous of him.
In a flt of pique, incited by a false
friend, a scheming girl companion,
ahe had triad to punish hsr lover, en
tirely Innocent of any real purpose to
pain her, and shs bad lost him.
For he had gone away from Merton
and she had heard of him among new
er scenes, the gayest of ths gay- He
bad forgotten her lone since, her ach
ing heart told her„
"And 1 can never forget!" she wall
ed to the sighing night winds, snd
pursued hsr lonely path on a pilgrim
age of sorrow and penitence.
She faltered ss shs came in sight of
ths old elm. Us sodding branches
sesmsd to beckon and then repel. She
covered her faee with her hands snd
swaysd where she stood.
'1 thought It would eomfort me to
come," she moaned, "but It Is break
ing my heart!"
For with a tide-like rush tbe sweet
past waa now mora vividly recurrent
than ever. Every bush, every rook,
every turn of tbe path renewed some
fond, swsst word he had spoken—the
loved snd lost one.
At last shs reached tbe old trystlng
place. She sank Ilka a wearied child
to ths moss-covered trunk sad cried
her heart out Then dull, drear ret
rospect Intervened, and accepting the
burden her own folly had brought
about, she sat' mutely submissive to
ths fats that showed mo brightnsss
ahead.
Hark!
Her pulsse sttrrsd at a cry of alarm.
It waa vague, distant, but schotng.
It wss a call tor help.
Elizabeth started lo bAf fiat and
bent bar ssr. ▲ nsw tsar came
into her faee aa aha traced the
call —across the sloping sipsnss of
stunted oak to where tbe brook ran
and tbe whispering sands wsrs the
moat traaahsroua.
There were denser eigne in tbe rV
cinity, but a atrangsr would scarcely
notice tbem after nightfall, she real
ised.
The humane instl -.?• waa too In
tensely developed hi *''? **>eth to need
urging, evea when bar mind was Im
mersed In hsr own Individual troc
hlea. She waa a true daughter of the
woodland, and aba aped like a sprite
along ths upper ledgss overlooking
the brook.
"Help!"
It waa closer now, that cry, though
not so distant There waa a token at
wsaknaee In tbe utterance, a forlorn
Intonation telling of sshausted effort
and strength.
He own feet swift aa tbey wees,
j»N!r arad-d ou. -
ous tfOU to hsr rapid flight Then
« she dmM what «u familiarly
known to ths deniiena of the vicinity
m "The QtU," her heart atood >UB
and ah* chilled with a shock
A human form waa risible In the
swirling mass of quicksands, appeal-
In* wildly tor help, with arma out
■tretched, linking deeper and deeper
each succeeding moment.
In an lnatant Elisabeth forgot pelt
peril, all save that a precious human
life waa In the balance.
She ntf) to where the ruined old
bridge la jr. it had apanned a nar
row brook, but long In disuse. She
knew fully th? last poaalble resource
for assisting the man engulfed in
'the quicksands. How she managed
to drag on* of the great rough log*,
the alie of a railroad tie In thickness,
fully 10 feet, ah* never knew.
Superhuman strength seemed in
fused. Her hands we*e torn and bleed
ing, her breath came to gaapa. She
managed to tilt the end of the heavy
timber across the ledge of rock and
let It drop.
The log narrowly graced the head
of the man now struggling waist deep
to the shifting masa. Both ends, how
ever, were safely anchored. Elizabeth
crept out on the log. j
"Grasp the log firmly with one
hated —give me the other— ~
Then her voice died away and her
soul aeemed to go with It, for the man
she had aaved was—Handel Grey.
He was pretty well exhausted, but
he smiled up Into her eyes with
grateful energy, aa slowly, with diffi
culty he was extricated from his fear
ful dilemma.
It was like a hideous dream with a
golden awakening, aa both reached the
soft ground and sank upon a grassy
plat exhausted, their eyes met, and
then their hands.
"You have saved my life!" he
breathed. "I owe It to you—Kllia
be th!"
How sweetly, how fervently he pro
nounced he» name, the ring of » year
ago to ltl
"I am glad," she said simply, and
shrank back away In very contrlte
ness and sense of unworthlness.
"If you bad not been near," he be
gan, and then asked; "How came you
to UeT"
Her ayes drooped and she arose to
her feet He caught sight of her poor,
bleeding hands and grasped them and
kissed them. v •
"It was just a year ago—the old
elm—do you remember?"
She bent ber head,.and he guessed
the troth.
"Its' call waa strong upon me—l had'
not forgotten," he said in a low, eager
tone. "Elisabeth, say it was all a mis
take your cold, bitter letter to me."
"It waa more—lt was cruel, wicked,
and I have been punished. Oh, Ran
dal, my heart Is breaking!"
He caught her swaying form in his
arms. He clasped her close, leading
the way past peril Into peace, past
the weird whispering sands to the
soft shadow of the great elm, Ita
swaying boughs seeming to weloome
so much youth and loveliness and
Joy.
