the girl a linger-

looked at her with

' ceeding admira-
tion. "Yes. a week from' tonight,” re-
sponded Miss Chloe Davis, with a smile.
“Ki tt-jr and Sam will be there, and father
says his old friend, the bishop, will come
to us. We won’t have a large party,
but we will try and have a good time.”
“I am sure to enjoy myself,” said Mr.

“Kitty be blessed!" said her compan—'
Eon quickly.
"Why. Mr. Fosdick! and your own

“Oh. she‘s a mighty good girl, of
course: no one can say anything but
that; but I wasn't thinking of her just

"Really I must be going home,” said
Miss Chloe hastily. “Mother will be
sure to want me. I do hope the weather
will clear up before New Year’s. This
rain has lasted about as long as it's
pleasant."
X-s. that’s true. The water is very
high in the dam now, and, although we
draw off all we can, I’m afraid they’re
getting; too much of it.“

The girl hurriedly—W“ fire in: “Mr. Fos-

The little village of Cartcrsvillc, in .
Colorado, had grown and prospered on ;
the mines which made the hills around 3
it trc-easure houses. Mr. Davis, the father
of pretty, dark eyed 18-year-old Chloe,
was the superintendent of Southern
Belle. and tall, fair haired \Vill Fos—
diek was the assayer at the Star of the
West. Common interests in their work
had brought the two men together in the
first. place, but, so far as the younger was
COIllfiI‘l‘llOtl, he soon found a. reason to
call on the Davises which had nothing to
do with the character of the ore in the
200 feet level. To state it briefly, he was
as desperately in love as a man could
well be. but so far he was obliged. to
confess with many an inward sigh that
he did not know if the girl cared for
him. She was always pleasant, always
apparently glad to see him, but he had
umrm- been able to bring matters to a
point, often as he‘had tried. His own
:iliynms and his real belief that she was
.-'o much better than himself had made
him shiillizier and pause until she es-
caped as she had that: day.
The village was built in a long, strag-
gling line down the narrow valley be-
tween the hills.‘ Here and there on the .
re

the universal store, saloon and hotel, ; 1“ L01” “‘1 "
which might have-been called the center
of the place. At the head of the valley
was the dam built by the mining com-
panies. in partnership, which stored up
tho \mtcr used in the mills and which
the :-:lir(;rwdest of the engineers about
Cartierswille did not believe particularly
safe. The house occupied by Mr. Davis
was in the lower part of the village, built
of wood like the rest,_and was a pretty
planet-o look at in summer, with the
flowers in front, which Miss Chloe had
raised with so much care.
For ten days past the rains had been
heavier than any man remembered to
have seen. and the gullies, which were
dry during the summer months, were
now miniature torrents. The dam was
full. and the wasteway at one side was
open wide, while downbetween its rocky
' walls be water rushed night and day.
And during all that week it rained,
rained, rained, until people became seri-
ously alarmed over the possible outcome.
In' the mean time Will Fosdicl. saw
Chloe Davis three times. He would
have seen her more had it been possible,
for certainly there was no lack of desire
on his part. Each time he resolved to
put his fate to the question, but each
time he came away without having done
so, and then spent an hour reviling his
owu timidity, which seemed to tie his
tongue just when he wanted to speak.
And Miss Chloe! Miss Chloe’s pretty
eyes sparkled as she laughed in her mu-
sical fashion over her own thoughts.
Miss Chloe was not afraid, for she knew.
New Year’s day came on Wednesday
in 1890, and in the afternoon about 3
o’clock Will Fosdick came out of the
laboratory of the Star of the West. and
looked, as nsual. down the valley to
where the Davis house stood. He could
see the figure of a girl standing in front, .
and he Wondered whether he would have

he heard in‘the clear, pure air a peculiar
noise, and turning he saw about half a
mile away a fearful sight.
The great dam was covered with a
wave of brown water pouring over the
top. As he looked this seemed to sink
down for a second, then rise again, and a
rolling mass of water swept down the
narrow valley. The houses in its path
went down like grass before a gale amid
the shrieks. and cries of the people.
Fosdick himself was at a height which
made him safe, and he stood for a min-
ute or two like one in a dream, pinching

himself to make sure he was invake. It
was all so horrible! He saw a.‘ man he
knew well—Jack Carter—start to run
up the hillside, but the brown monster
caught him and swept him down.
For the part of a. second Fosdick saw
them thrown into a wild heap, and then
the flood passed over them. The water
struck Carter’s store, which stood for a
moment, rose bodily and floated, turn-
ing and swaying as though with a hide-
ous drunkenness. Then it struck against
an ore house and seemed tomcrumble
down into the surging flood, carrying
with it two men and a woman with a
child in her arms, who had climbed out
on the roof. Once a man’s body was
shot up by-the water until it stood waist
high, and the man struggled, waving
his arms and trying to escape. Then he
was dragged down by the legs by the in- .

him to be cool and to show a level head. j
Then he looked out before him.
The flood of water was nearly a quar~
ter of a mile wide. It had evidently
destroyed the greater part of the village,
and although there was no longer a tor- ‘
rent, yet the current was very swift. To
reach the place where the Davis house
stood W’ill Fosdick would have had to
cross the water. and this, as there was
not a boat in the village, was impossi-
ble. There was a chance. perhaps, to
cross about five miles down. where the
valley narrowed to the Needles, two
great spires of rock which had had a
bridge thrown across between them for
the use of two mines, one on either side,
and Will ll‘osdick started as rapidly as
It was a dreary trip,
with evidences on every side of the
awful destruction which had been
wrought by the water. He-came across
the body of a man, the skull smashed in,
which had been left on the ground by
the first great wave, and with a shudder
recognized it as that of Mr. Brooks, the
superintendent of the Star of the 'West.
He paused long enough to cover it with
stones so the coyotes could not get at it.
About a mile from the Needles, as
Will Fosdick was picking his way among
the stones which covered the ground, he
heard a sound as though some one were
sobbing. He halted and listened. There
could be no doubt that it was a woman
crying. In his intense desire to search
for Mr. Davis’ house he may be pardoned
if he hesitated for a moment before go-
ing to the rescue. He thought ofChloe;
he was thinking of nothing else, and it
seemed to drive him wild—the uncer-
tainty about her fate. Only for a mo-
ment, though, did he pause, for Will Fos-
dick was a man before all else, and then
turning he made his way down to the
water’s edge. There, about a hundred
yards out were two rocks, between
which some fencing or wreckage of
some kind had wedged, and clinging to
the wood was a woman. Will Fosdick
looked and wondered if it could be done.
It was only‘ a hundred yards, but it was
a terrible job. The brown water rolled
swiftly by at his feet, and ,down. the
swirling stream came logs and boards
and furniture, making the way almost
impassable. If the woman was to be
saved there was no time to be lost.
Running up the bank three hundred
yards Will Fosdick throw off his coat
and plunged into the water. It caught
hold of him with the grip of astrong

he met a rafie of wreckage and was
[forced to crawl over it, cutting his leg
on asharp nail. Bit. by bit he worked ‘
ahead, but all the while he was being
swept down the stream, and he knew ~-
the current through the Needles must be i
death. Nearing the lower rock he made '
a determined dash for it, only to be I
driven off by a timber and carried down. '
For a moment he thought his life had
been risked in vain, when the current
slackened and he found. himself floating
to the rock in an eddy. Reaching it and
crawling up he lay for a moment to
gather breath and a little strength be-
fore attempting the rescue of the wom-
an he came to save. Then climbing
over the top he lowered himself down.
As he saw the brown hair a quick throb
startled him, and in the whisper of ex-
citement he called. The woman raised
It did not take Will Fosdick two sec-
onds to leap down and seize the girl, to
lift her up into his arms and to carry her
up on the rock. It was as though he
had the strength of ten men! Then hold
ing her tight he kissed her passionately.
There was no more shyness, no more
hesitation; he had rescued his love from
death, and he had her safe. And Chloe
put her head down on his shoulder and
sobbed, clinging to him closely and now
and then trembling violently. Death
had been very near to her that day!
“How on earth did you get here, my
darling?” he asked when the girl became
a little quieter.
“I don’t know, Will. I Was standing
in front of the house when suddenly the
water swept me off myfeet. It rolled
me over and over; it seemed to press me
to death. I felt something and caught
hold of it, and then I fainted. How long
it was before I came to myself I do not
know, but when I woke. up I was lying
on some boards which were floating on
the water. I pulled myself upon them
and waited. I was sure I would die, and
I thought about you”—
“My own love!”
“I thought you must be dead, and I
did not care much whether I was saved.
Then I cried, thinking I would never see
you again."
“That was what I heard, my darling!”
“Did you know it was me?”
“No. I was hurrying down to cross
“And you were going to save me, but
stopped for another girl?” said Chloe,
“Oh,
“Well. dearest, I could not leave a
woman to die,” began Will.
“Well, dear,” said the girl very softly
and earnestly, “don‘t you know how
“I swam out.”
“What! Across that awful place?”
“Yes. It wasn’t so bad. I’d swim

Chloe, and know you love me. You do
love me, don’t you?"
“Yes,” she whispered. .
“You never let me know it.”
“You never asked me,” she answered
with a laugh. “But, Will, how can we

“So it is, and there’s mother looking
out of the window. Is it safe there?"
“Perfectly; the water is going down.
Is your father at home?”
“No; he went across the mountains
this morning. But what an awful thing
thisis!”
And so, talking over the horror of the
flood. and at times talking about their
love, the two staid on the rock all that
night. Will contrived to make a fire at
which they dried their clothes, and by
early morning the water had gone down
enough to let him carry her ashore.
where Mrs. Davis kissed and hugged her
daughter as one raised from the dead.
Mr. Davis came home about noon to
find all well and safe. lie and Will
Fosdick joined the men who were bring-
ing those who had escaped together, and
the Davis house was made into some-
thing like a hospital before night. Help
came from the surrounding towns, and
gradually things began to look well
again. It was nearly the end of March
before Will Fosdick and Chloe Davis
were married, but as he was then the
superintendent of the Star of the West
they had a. good start. But neither of
them will ever forget the flood, nor the
swim which Will took in the swirling
brown water to reach the rock where he
could rescue the “other girl,” and where
he found his love and his wife.
Lunch and Luncheon.
Lord Coleridge does not recognize the
English word “lunch.” It is the word,‘not
the institution, which sufiers from this
judicial severity. The lord chief justice and.
all the judges of the high court recognize
the claims of the meal, and punctually ad-
journ for it. As to the word, “lunch” seems
just as worthy of recognition as luncheon.
It strictly means a lump of bread, and the
longer word strictly means the same. Nor
is luncheon a new fangled term. Its his-
tory can show an indefeasible claim, based
on continuous user. “While you stood
staring like an oaf,” says one of the charac-
ters in Dryden, “I cut a luncheon from the .
loaf.”
In fact, “the Englishword lunch,” if not
current at home, enjoys a large foreign cir-
culation. It has become in the last few
years quite a. French ivord, and seems to
be ousting the regular gouter from its own
tongue. Etymologists might find curious
illustration of national character from the
derivation of both words. for “lunch"
means a lump of food and “gouter” means
to tests. The one suited the solid eater,
the-other the epicure. « Lunch now r'd'nks

These are of course only the larger ves—
sels engaged in the oyster business and no
account is made of the much more numer-
ous class which are of smalkr capacity.
But the importunm: of the business can be
judged from this list, and from the figures
given at the beginning of this article as to
the catch on one natural bed since August
last.
HOW To MAKE THE BEDS mom: VALUABLE.
The oystermen are new thinking of a
law allowing a bounty to steamers which
will dredge natural beds for “stars”. With
the new mop dredge which promises to
be so great a benefit to the oyster business.
Adjacent owner's of private grounds would
frequently be glad to dredge the natural
bedstfor stars for the protection of their
own contiguous property, and if a reason-
able law, giving a bounty for such dredg—
' in
“1% value of them to the public would be
on the natural beds, could be passed,
greatly enhanced and the property of ti -
vate owners incidentally protected.
