against the rock, and when the ogres

brain was keenly alive again, and he
knew that teams of oxen could have
pulled but futilely against the under
currents, which, one after another,
were transporting them irresistibly
and yet without great haste through
watery space. Thought of physical
salvation scarcely filtered in a ray of
hope through his mind, and his senses
were unterrified by the suffocating
presence of death. In Carla were his
strength and -courage. He locked his
arms about he-r closely. He could
feel her clinging to him with the
same desire to remain inseparable
when the end came. Strange. A king
dom of Micomicon—a land of Al
naschar—a place of fairies—a world
of dreams— They were going to it
all, Between the walls where no man
had ever looked. Death! A magnifi
cent adventure, with Carla in his
arms I A roaring filled Ids ears. They
.were traveling swiftly now. Ilis
senses grew less distinct, like colors
merging one into another in a sunset
sky. Queer, why it should end like
this, after years of life—lie—and Carla
—together—as it must have been in

ous graciousness of Fate, an immortal
jifmphony of fulfilment—to pass on
like this with Carla, no matter how

1* The roaring was an enormity of
sound. Its wailing was like the wind
in the cave of Aeolus, its thunder like
Stentor's blasts rumbling through the
empty bowels of the earth. They
numbed and anesthetized, yet left him
with a shred of living, thinking cells
which told him they were tearing
through the gullet of the gorge, and
which, at the same time, held his arms
unyielding ns bands of steel about

path he has traveled, It seems very
short, arid the hundred years no more
than a few hours. Paul had reflected
upon the illusory and baseless fabric
of time, its inadequacy and the hol
lowness of its human measurement.
"One who is happy has hut a fleeting
vision of life," Carla had said to him
once. “To live long and terribly, one
must be unhappy—in prison.” It was
odd why lie should he thinking of this
as lie continued to claw and dig. But
time had fastened Itself upon him like

come upon him. To feel sure that
Carla knew, and that she had given
herself to him because of her knowl
edge—that she was not afraid, but was
happy in the freedom which an ap
proaching termination of life made
possible for them, filled him with an
emotion which took from their brief
future Its stark and ugly grimness
and gave to it on almost Joyous as
pect.
As if she had been a partner in the
few seconds of his thoughts, Carla
spoke softly, giving him her hand
again in the night which shut them In.
“I want to hear you say it, Paul!
I have dreamed, and even prayed in
my wickedness, and have fancied your
voice telling me the story. For that
I have many times asked God to for
give me. But now it is right and just.
I want to hear you say—you love me.”
‘‘I do,” said Paul. ‘1 know—now—
that I have loved you from the be
ginning of time, before I came to the
Mistassini, before I was born in this
life—a thousand or a million years I
have worshiped the soul that is you.
Sometime, It may have been ages ago,
I know that you belonged to me.”
«I have always belonged to you,"
said Carla. “Yours is the love I
thought was hopelessly gone from me

right Can there be such a thing as

OBITUARY
Mrs. Fannie I). Allen departed
this life February 5, 1030, aged 57
years.
She loaves five children, Tilman
of Kinston, N. C., Mayo of Rocky
Mount, N. C., Mrs. Irma Tet tort on
Keneth and Hugh of Plymouth,
Four Grand Children, five Brothers
and a host of friends to mourn lier
demise. Her husband, Nathan
Allen preeeeded her in death about
two years ago.
She has been a faithful and con
secrated member of the Mt. Olive
Free Will Baptist Church since
early child-hood.
Her life was a busy one her dear
hands were never idle, always work
ing to make this world a brighter
place for those about her.
As a mother she~was loved and
loving, as a friend she was kind and
good.
The vacant place can never be
filled and we shall cherrish her
memory as one loved but not lost.
I cannot say, and I will not say,
that she is dead, she is just away,
with a cherry smile, and a wave of
the hand,
She has wondered into an un
known land.
And left us dreaming how very
fair it needs must be since she
lingers there just think of her still,
as the same I say.
For she is not dead - she is just
away.

He calmly and frankly spoke the
truth to her. She made no reply in
words, but he could feel her response
creeping through her linger tips t<
him, could feel the tremble and thrill
of it in her body. He had not fright

the beginning of a fear. She did not
want to live. The truth seized upon

CHAPTER X
During the night following Paul's
accident and Carla's leap, n\eu were
active below the gorge. Derwent lost
no time in raring bach to the Mistns
sini, and the presence of a hundred
men below the chasm before midnight
was the result, livery device of en
gineering science ami unlimited re ,
source which might he employed came I
with them. The big pool at the foot
of I he gorge was a glare of illumlna
tion. and men went down the rivet
with their flaming torches, afoot along
its hanks and in canoes between them,
questing for a shred of something
which a few hours before might have
been a part of Paul 01 Carla.
Luey-Belle, shock’d iuto sickness,
was taken ig her home. But Claire
remained. Men who saw tier In the
weird glow of the lights will never
he able to forget the Image of her
face as it was photographed upon their
memories. Her blue eyes were so
wide open and staring, so filled with
an unwavering sapphire flame that at
times Derwent thought of her as a
spirit-goddess Instead of a woman.
Could Paul have seen her he would
have known that at last she had con
quered her fear and repugnance of
the wilderness. She had come with
the first men before a trail was cut.
Her dress and shoes were torn, her
soft skin bruised and bleeding. Where
the water crashed and thundered loud
est out from between the chasm walls
she stood unafraid, until Derwent
twice drew her back from the near
ness and danger of it. She resented
his appeal to leave the search to
others, and Derwent made It only
once. A white face, watching for its
dead—that was wliat men would re
member. Eyes flamingly blue, hun
grily searching the black stream ns
it came from the mountain. A fragile
form that seemed tireless, ns steel.
A woman, and yet more than woman—
an unforgettable spirit, a vision that
was like tragic music, always to be re
membered.
