The boat \vaa a more wisp of the thin nest cedar and wavoiod like a loaf aa I hold it. "Stop lightly to the center , " I snld , gassing upon hop through the faint , witching starlight , "and then " "And then , " Hho cried mockingly. "Oh , yes ; walk steadily to the bow and Boat mysolf. Of COUMO. Don't I know it at ! ? " "By heart ? " said I. "Yog , by htnrt , " a bo ivlinlttol softly , "ovory word tlia't you eve ? spoke to rao. And how else should [ stop but 'lightly , ' you fussy , uncomplimentary lever and my lord and king , " she concluded in a breathless whispar. Wo wore but nine days married , Maago and I. Wo could not boar aa yet the rude Bturo of the world , and like birds wo had Mown to the depths of the forest Eccentric ! What cared woV reveling amid woods and waters adoring each other , liapny beyond boliof. Jt was the fiiUllliuont of our dreams , Itself how dreamlike ! The painter lay at her foot. Stooping , she caught it up. "Before I stop at all"Blioannouncod.linporiously , " ! shall tie a good trird knot in this rnpo. See how the end is frayod. I can't .vllow any such slovenly housekeeping In our boat. " "Oh , hurry ! " I muttered , with n and- don thrill of impiitlonco. ' 'It will ba broad light bjforo wo got under way , anu there'll bo no chance of door. " How slight a matter. Yet She stopped and -lucked at mo ; I know that her oyollds trembled , hat to that moment - mont no suoh tone laid over jarred upon her oar from mo. The knot waa half tied , but the cora dropped from her hand ; she entered the skill without n word. How quickly things over to bo remem bered seem to bo lo-gotten ! I dipped my paddle in the dark wntor , and as wo glldod from the deep nhado of the over hanging wood and came under the sparkling sky of the open river all shad ows boomodjoft bohind. She twined her Hngora around the not uniiunlllar stock of a light rlllo. "It seems d oidful to shoot at thorn , " she Buld , "but I'll try. " It was the last hour of night , but as yet no star had wnriod. On the walor all WMB dim ; the shore was n bolt of dark ness ; the voices of the forest were sunk toawhlspoi' . An export with the paddle dlo , I loved my urU The cauoo , under my dollghtud touch , slipped onward , hiiiootli and still. I could hoar n faint rlpplo from the prow as It cut the wavelets - lots ; I could hoar the low rustle of my clothing at every motion ; I could alimat hcr.r the soft breathing of my loved ono. If n lily pad had brushed bonoith the keel the sound broke like a crash on the Rllonco. But the koon. thin blade of the paddle waa mute ; not oven when I lot my hand lave with It In the warm guh that swelled along the sldo did any gurgle rlto ftotn Its eddying stroke. It was an hour of ecstacy how can I to'.l ItV Wo were lovers in a world eo now and fresh and sweet , flouting alone In the tremulous glonm , and ns for the future , or whither this tr.tnqtill stream was bparltig tis wjiithor does every sticam boar every llfoV The banks that wcro sldrtod first were high and stoop and gave little hope of game. Then the river wldonoil , the uhoro was low and marshy , and the light frin go of lily ponds broadened to undulating meadows that rouched far out over rod * of pond like shullinva. The forest was waning now , and the air w.is full of noises , crashings In thu b.'ush , splashings among the roods , wood cries of every sort just before us , almost at the water's mlgo a weird sight nlw.iy.s and stvjctr tl in that w.in light : i grove of dead timber stretched up with gaunt , blanched arms as If In warning. 1 saw that Madge dropped her glnnco. All over the surface of the w tor chill shreds of mist were scudding , and the familiar oxunnso loomed out like an un known so.t. A H'.ight shiver sent Its tremor through thoskilT. "Ilavo wo not come a long way ? " she said. Again I was betrayed. "Oh , bo hlill. This is the very place for game. " The hasty whisnor loft my lins with an arrowy hiss. She gave ' a. little gtsp its if an arrow Indeed had'struc'c hor. "Dearest , " I cried aloud , for the hunt was forgotten. She turned with a bright look , but her eyes shone with toi : d. " 1 didn't mean to , " she said simply. "I didn't see any , and I didn't think they'd scare , I was just a little bit afraid my solf. " I burned with remorse. But for the prudish hunt wo should hnvo had a spt- tlomcnt then and thoto , but cedar skills are sensitive in matters of decorum and over threaten indiscretion with the ducking stool. Chocked In my loverly Impulse by a rostlvo lurch the words that were in my heart foil back unuttorcd. "Wo have boon moving very slowly , " I explained , with guidoliko fluency , "and the Shannoro can bo hoard more than n mlle away. Beside , at the head of the rapids they say there is a small , biiro inland , just where the suck sots in and the ripples begin to play. Keep above that and with n good boat and a steady arm there isn't a shadow of dan- gor. " She turned imploringly , but was sl.unt ; soon she resumed her wonted mannor. % "I it's " she biinposo really chiou.noir , mused. "Almost everything boonn to have started French up hero , but it hasn't stayed French. And of course there's a creepy legend about somebody that this dreadful beast has swallowed. Oh , don't , don't let us go near him ! we're just the ones that these black death dogs raven after wo that are so happy , dear. " "We'll turn back at the first sound of his bark. And now look sharp for venison ; it is now or nevor. " "I can fancy that I ho ir him this minute. But I'll bo still and watch. Oh ! what is that ? " bho cried. I followed her gaze. "It looks like a dead bough floating. " "But why , " urged she excitedly , "does it keep moving out into the river ? " I looked moro closely. "It is n door swimming Ilio rarest chance" I shouted , ana drove forward the wallow ing boat with all my force. Wo are the children of a predatory race , and the sight of escaping g.tmo rouses uncontrollable instincts. My gentle Madgo was as wild as I , crouch ing in the bow , p.inting with cagornoss , her chcoki ) outllaming to the dawn for the moment she was but a beautiful boast of prey. Our laboring victim was now within easy range , but the long line of his back and head , just level with the water , mule a dillicult aim. "Try him ! " I cried , and the quick rifle rang out , but the bullet splashed a foot beyond its marlc. The animal was nearing a low sandbar in mldchanncl. I had thought to run him down before ho roiohod it , but a sudden eddy swerved us abide , and already us ho began to emerge wo had passed below him.Watt ! wait ! " I cried , "for a full ll.-xnk. " Madce , in tumultuousoxcitomont , had risen to her foot. The deer for ono in stant paused to shake olT the incumbor- ing drip. The moment had como ; with paddle tight gripped ana rigid I steadied the fr.iil craft ; again the rillo pnalod. The deer , with a spasm of pain and ef fort , bounded high and felt headlong in the stream beyond. . "See ! see ! " she screamed , "he's hit ; ho struggles ; ho can't swim. Look , how the current whirls him. " "Oh , Madgo , sit down , " I entreated , and as I spoke the froir/.y loft mo. I turned a quick glance bohind. From the head of the narrow sho.il , now fall ing swiftly astern , two long , low , diverg ent billows stretched down , enfolding us as they rolled and swayed like the arms of some hideous dovil-flsh. From the flush of the chase to the gates of death. The revulsion waa horrible. "My God ! My God ! " I walled , "wo are in the rapida of Shannoro. ' ' It was neither oath nor prayer it was a cry out of Tophot , hopeless. And Madgo She lifted from her lap the little rillo and dropped ID in the stream. "I'll never shoot again , " uho said. Turning upon the ioit : she faced mo , palo and still already with the white , unearthly beauty of an angel. Then with mad energy I plied the paddle ; for ono second tlio prow touched shortMy heart gave a gro.it throb , but the driving current swept round the storu and bore us on. For a moment longer , by frantic endeavor , I hold my own. Then aa my strength failed , wo were whirled away to plunge amid the ewlft , thronging waves that ever press in tumult down the gorge. For now on either stdo rose dark will la of dripping ouk , and tno spray-drenched gusts that oat against us were vibrant with the oa"8 < > baying of Shannoro. Surely the end was near. Wo were flying at racehorse speed ever a billowy swell. At every awing th boatseoinod sinking from beneath us. Yet thus far it had borne tu in safety ; > tlttod at. each end with an air-tight chamber of copper - per , unless it was daahod in plocoa it would not sink. Madge's strange bodIng - Ing words sang in my para ; I wag startled with a desperate hopo. Not with gun but with boat might she not still by ono miruclo shoot this llorco Shannoro. The brink was in sight. I would drive over at utmost speed. "Mitdgol Madgo ! Catoh by the palntor and hold fasti" I cried. But she , before obeying , loaned toward me and whispered throe words ; often I had hoard them ; through all the din of the cataract 1 know them , nnu oven ns she spoke the bout , flung broadside on u hidden reck , was gone like a bubble. * * * Roudor you who sltatonao and drink in quiet of the HUtumor air what power of mine can bring to you a conception of what followed ? Had you oyor a night mare dream of Ju-Uegllng ngony in n dark undorworluYi'ttf raving walorsV The change waT absolutely with out Interval. I 'had ' sat in light with my loved'Mo ' , thrilled with n suddoii hope , 'listening ' to swotitesl words. I was loit , _ I know not how , I know not where , sightlosj , helpless In a chaos of overwhelming forcoa , sounds , sensations , too confounding for thought. Something my hjitijl , not I. had clutched ami held with convulsive grip. A great surge bore mo tin ; l.cuught ono Hashing gllmpso of light und ky , and the sama Instant I was sinking , all was sinking , with swooning swoop , and a bellowing and pounding as of a descending aval- nnuho. Down , down , driven by stunning violotir-o , I sank , deep in a black abyss1 and watery mountains thundered over mo. mo.I was drowning ; the cataract's crush' Ing foot was upon my cheat ; my soul was blank. Then through the darlcnesj and falntness I hoard something plucking. Something yes , a rope was dragging through my grasp , and ns It slid a loose knot drew beneath my fingora and slipped , and tlghtonod and hold fast. Kcollection waked. Madgol Wns she illVood forgotten ? Again i'saw her sslndlng In translucent btarlight. with quivering lashes. The rope still tugged , and stolidly clinging Ic'uno at last with bursting expiration to the surface ; once moro the day' beamed in my eye * aud sweet b.'oath was In my nostrils. Slowly , trembling with weakness , I mivlo my way through the uneasy surf , hund ever hand along the ropa tow ird the skill. Incredible It seems , but so profound was my bewilderment that I thought of Madgo as still within ; I won- do ed with querulous Imbecility why she did not help 1113. The bo it , as It drift ed , churned heavily , and the gunnel sagged low ; with half petulant expecta tion I raised myself and looked in. Ex cept weltering water , nothing. Then , with a frightful pitng , reason returned , and I comprehended. Of all the cruel anguish of that day this awakening was the wo.-st. I sank back with a strug gling sob , and but that the skill was already boating upon the shore I had sunk with no rising. As it waa my foot just touched on the shelving bottom and struggling forward I stumbled upon the bank and lay unconscious. * O M idgo ! could you see mo thorol How many precious minutes Hod ivhilo thy strength wnnod and thy spirit faint ed and thy lever lay unheeding. The sun grow hot on my chcok : its fire balls gleamed bono ith my eyelids. I roused and sat upright. The knotted cord lay under mo ; the skiff was still grinding on the beach. Instinctively I sought to draw it toward tno , but the rope , lashed in the ring with but a sin gle turn , and already pulled almost to the o id , at the first wrench slipped from its fastening. The cord hung in my hand. My knot had loosened , hers held firm ; but she who had tied it I raised my e.vos. Its sunlit column wreathed in weaving lacework of ill my foam , Shan nero stood resplendent. Wlrit vision sends my blood in fierce , hot pul os ? What wild hope drives mo in blind leaps toward the cliff ? Only a spock of gray , dim in the rainbow mists above the pill ; but it is Madgo. The ascent was } rtfggod. Breathless I mounted the summit. In the midst of the fall a ro'jlcy islet rojo likj a pier. Beyond poured the main torrent , but the channel next mn was comp trailvoly shallow , brawling among great bould ers. Leaping , wading in deadly peril for throe unsteady ptops I pressed across. And there in the main channel , almost at the verge of sheer descent , on a low Ibdgo ever which the surges ov9f broke , with foot brjicod in a crevice and straining arma flung around a horn of rock , pallid and spout , but breathing and not qurte beyond the hope of rescue , clung my Madgo my beauti ful , bravo Madgo. I crept to the watoT-'s cdgo. She was hardly six foot"awaybut through the deep sluice between a black tide rac d and swirled , and its swell lapped nt my feet as I reached toward hor. Surely she could clasp my hand ; oh , how I longed to fool that touch. But she mot my look with eyes distressed and downcast. Was she 'blinded with spray ? Was she dazeu with fear ? Could she not understand ? Alas ! eho only was sane. I had offered her but the clasp of death. Even wliilo I persisted my treacherous footing failed ; terror writhed on her face , but I Uaggored backward. What could I do ? How dull is terror. Absorbed in a single thought , mad with dread , it was only now , aa I clenched my hands in im- pitienco.that I hcedod the knotted cord still in my grasp. Bo it Providence , instinct , chance utterly without thought I had borne it through all tills foveroa haste that else had boon in vain , and by it she , too , should bo aavi'd. Taking a firmer at'tnd I caat the end close by who-o she lay. But again she druopod her oyea and"clung the tighter. 1 saw that slio dare not slacken her fast- failing clutch. Or was it rather that she saw too well that my plan was sul- cido instead of rescue , that had she com plied the roslstlosa draught of the tor rent would have swept mo like a pebble from the slippery shale ? Full well I know Its potency. I was in despair. What trilloa turn our fates to life or death ! There arose in my mind a mem ory of childhood of sailing shingle- boats ii > the rapid croelc. With long line attached I would toss thorn out 'n the stream , and I recalled my vexation because , as I hold the twine on the bank , my ship ; would not stand off and float free , but constantly towed to shoro. And now if only I could fasten a rope somewhere - where above ! In th0 vorv spot grew a scrubby beech with awllko roots pro truding , but the co was short. Then a ragged branch stretching ever the water caught my sight. 0 Madge , was it not weary waiting ? 1 climbed far out on the bough , and as it bent reaching still further forward made fast the ropo. "This time it shall hold , " I thought grimly ; and swung my self down in the uaotbintr flood until it drew tno close boaldo my beloved. At last , at last , her dear nrma were locked about mo , and all'U/o dashing turmoil of Shannoro could ij'ot.drown my gladness. Under the .double strain the tough bough sprung'like Itn angler's rod , but it was stiffer than I' ' had thought ; wo swayed out to where the flumollko rush was lloreo.H and tuui'o hung. How long could weary anna hnduro ? There was but ono remedy , iuqatroasmuat bo mudo yet sharper. It , wjas no time fo ? hesita tion , I plunged luy ho id beneath the drift of foam andubrought to boar the full brunt of the uYllng current. The waters roared und/tugged. With every nerve and sinew' i resisted. Sweet Madgo , borne under unwarned , dcomod that the end had'c6mo. . But the crroat limb cracked and .writhed and yielded and as wo lifted up our faces wo were swept in ng.iinst the shore. Still , for ono quakiog inst nit , all lay at hazard then the Bolld rock was under us. We woi o saved. Happy ! Wo were us weak as is a newborn - born babe , but our joy was like the joy of tbo mother who fins borne it joy that they only may know who after stark death agony are brought back to the caroaa of love.
