If the bald fact had been announced In aa many words, nobody would hare ques tioned the absolute correctness of the statement. Dolly Worth had taken .particular pains to manifest her indifference con cerning Dan's actions, his sayings, bis likes or dislikes his future. Nothing that affected Dan Graham could In the slightest manner concern Dolly Worth. And everybody thought that they were eugagedl - Finally, when speculation seemed to be exhausted, somebody conceivea the Idea that the reason why these two had parted was not so much of a mys tery after alL Inside of a week everybody knew that Dolly had discarded her lover be cause he was a "stay at home." When the Falrriew guards marched away to fljht in Cuba, among all the enthusias tic beauties who waved their handker chiefs after the swiftly receding train none was more prominent than Dolly Worth. Although nobody could summon suf ficient courage to Inform Dan Gra nam that people referred to mm as a 'stay at home," he knew the truth as well as If It had been cried from every housetop. For a time his mother feared that be was In danger of 1m pressions that might prove lasting- impressions which. If permitted to be come permanent, ' would ' mar his. life. But some underlying force, some In bred strength, asserted itself speedily. Dan's demeanor was again the agree able front presented to all the, world. and a very winning demeanor it was. The air palpitated with war's alarms, People talked of nothing but the war until one day a garrulous old man contrived between his daily dozes to Vnf orm Dan that he at least did not And any fault with him for not going to the war. That was six or eight months after Dolly, Worth had coolly parted from him on the most public thoroughfare in Fairview. The next day a calamity overtook Fairview. The valley sank In waters gathered In a great storm. Its fields were swept; fresh gleaned harvests were lost; the fences for miles crum bled Into the rising waters like the fringe of a doll's dress In a blaze, leav ing the valley desolate. The muddy waters pressed through crevices and crannies, filling every cellar In Fair view; then they rose to the. first and second floors. A general hegira was Inevitable. Furniture was pulled and hauled and lifted by main strength from floor to floor. Only such articles were left floating as might serve for precarious footing for the drowning rats. Everybody was wet, dirty, soggy and cold. Night was coming on rapidly when a motley crowd gathered around the Immense fire the boys had kindled on the lot In front of the postofflce where the farmers hitched their horses when the flood was not. Suddenly somebody mentioned old Gabe Somers. Old Gabe was the oldest-Inhabitant of Fairview. One of Gabe's uncles was captured by the Indians and tor tured to death on the. Island opposite the town. Gabe lived alone In a cabin isolated from his fellows, a rickety af fair at best, so old that nobody was able to recall when It was erected. 'Has anybody seen old Gabe?".. The query was repeated. As men looked at each other there In the fast falling night a silence fell upon the crowd. The silence was ominous. Gabe's poor cabin would never survive the flood. Perhaps while they stood there it was crumbling down Into the hungry water. Then the spirit which prompts all mankind to extend a help- lug hand found voice. There were shouts, suggestions, conflicting advice. Suddenly one man ran toward Gabe's cabin. Those nearest him exclaimed; others inquired who It was. Soon the crowd knew Dan Graham was fore most In a mad race to the river's edge. Dan was the swiftest skatert swim mer and runner In Fairview and the best dancer. Now he distanced ail oth ers so far that before they could ap proach him he had leaped Into a skiff, pushed It out and was settling the oars Into the rowlocks when the others came up to the river's edge. Just a little beyond Dan, they saw Gabe Somers' cabin. If ever Gabe's cabin entered the strong current-- The men looking on tossed their hands In the air despairingly. "Hell drown. Nothing could save him now.". 'Yes. and Dan Grahamll drown too." lf one of them floating trees hits the skiff" -Or a log hits It a biff" Or some sunken sawyer bobs up that's worst of alL" . "And Ifll be so dark he cant see Just where he Is." " "Maybe he'll swim out." Swlm I Swim! Against that cur rent?" . - -It's next to suicide that's what 1 sny." said the postmaster, with a chok ing voice. lie was related to Dan. He loved him as his own son. There's not another man In the county'd risk what Dan's risking," said the neighbor standing behind the post master; "no, nor in the state. And ail for poor old Gabe," -" A little knot of women had gathered ner the river. One of these, overbear ing such expressions, hastened back to her neighbors. "It's Daa Graham trying to save Ani tk e sa 6ohiera sure to drown." K A cold band was laid upon the post master's, lie turned around to con front Dolly Worth. "Can't you help can't you mendo anything? Must he must they both drown and you standing here looking on?" "There's no boat handy. There's no time to do anything. Gabe's cabin's in the current now." A supple figure shot away from the crowd, sped swiftly along the shore. Far down, near the breakwater, which Jutted out a considerable distance into the river, lav some boats Skiffs that were regarded as worthless, smali flats, waterlogged now, and planks with cleats nailed across them by the boys, who used them when- hunting crabs. - The swelling crowd on the shore had barely sufficient light now to discern Dan Graham Jamming his skiff against Gabe's cabin. Some cried that they saw old Gabe; then darkness swal lowed cabin and skiff. The fate of the rescuer - and the man for whom he risked his life was In the hands of the Almighty. 1 x If Dan succeeded, he might manage to head his skiff In above, the break water. It was one chance in a thou sand, one in a million. . The people on the shore ran headlong toward the breakwater. With the darkness of night settling around him Dan Gra ham gathered up his strength tor one supreme effort. r ' Old Gabe's cabin was stronger than anybody could hare credited. The framework held together amazingly. The floor erumbled and floated away beneath his feet, but the sinews'of age still enabled Gabe to grasp with a drowning man's clutch the frame of the window. In vain Dan urged him to draw him self up and drop Into the bow of the skiff. Afterward Gabe told how, see- Imp the old -man either could not or would not loosen his grasp on the win dow sill, Dan dropped his oars, reach ed forward and lifted old Gabe by main strength out of the window and deposited him In the bottom of the skiff. : ... - -. .: ,. sr.:..-..- At that moment a tree trunk struck the skiff. The Jar almost knocked Dan into the river. He recovered his balance, however, and- turned the boat's head shoreward. And now It was a mill for life. The blackness of a cloudy night enveloped him. Ills sole guide was the light on the lot in front of the postofflce. 'And how could he gauge. distance by that? lie might be above, opposite or far be low the breakwater. Was he half way out In the river? Everything de pended, upon his distance from the shore. ' - 1 -' - Die felt as if every moment must be his last effort. His temples throbbed. His muscles, now so rigid, might relax any moment. Human endurance could not last much longer.' Then a voice shouted his name. . "Dan! Dan!" He dared not answer if he could. All his breath was required to make "the breakwater. II 0-00-000, Dan! This way. I'm here Dolly! Dan!" . i A few more strokes, and he beard a laugh that made him shudder "Oh, thank God thank God! I'm here, Dan. This way, Dan." . Then he knew he was above the breakwater. He looked around. He could barely discern Dolly in the dark ness, voices were neara on tne snore. r iA I grasped tl a heaVy log struct tfie fcalii; The next moment ne was ux iuv wfcc. Dolly shrieked. Dan put his left arm under old Gabe and struct out wiin -f!rht contendlne now with the hungry waters for old Gabe's life. "Save yourself," said Gabe. But Dan compressed his lips and swam to Dol lvs side. Dolly held her pole out until he had a. firm grasp on it. With won derful presence of mind he swam be low the waterlorjed flat Dollyhad 1. rrashed out from Hie shore. Now oth ers were near at hand, crying out to them to take heart; help was at hand.. When Dolly Worth stepped out of the flat, she was greeted with a cheer. Torches were : flaming now; women were there, too women with tears in their eyes and big, rough men were there, whose eyes were moist as they grasped Dan ""Graham's hands. The .were 'proud of the ''stay at home." A Kentucky Suuner Outfit. Manr-vears aco Senator Blackburn of Kentucky was summoned to .Wash ington In the middle of June to look after a small matter of patronage; His departure was so sudden and the prospect of his staying rdore than a day or two away from home so remote that he carried with him only a hand bag. But business heaped up on him after his arrival at the capital, and he was obliged to telegraph back a re quest for a trunkful of summer dom ing. His little daughter happened to be the only member rof the family at home when his dispatch arrived, and, thinking it her , duty to respond promptly, she packed a trunk and ship ped It, first slipping a note inside, as follows: ; :. -. Dear Papa I send you all the clothes I ean find and hope you are well. ' The trunk contained seven white shirts, six winter scarfs, one tooth brush, . one bowie knife and two re volvers. It was a rueful outlook for Blackburn, with the thermometer up among the nineties, but he listened to no proffered condolences. "My daugh ter has done right," he said.
