' Zsil&t t ' * fatuer prob'ly Fred and Polly drew up their chairs , and Grandmother Melton brought a steaming bowl of mush from the stove and dished it into two smaller bowls. • Tin hungry as a bear , " observed Fred , between mouthfuls. "I think it's a shame we have to go so far to school. There isn't a single boy or girl In Springville that has to go half so far as we do. " "I don't see why father doesn't move down there , " complained Polly , pour ing more of the rich yellow milk over her mush ; "he could get to his work just as well , and it would be ever so much pleasanter than this lonesome place. " "You must remember that your father isn't a rich man , " answered Grandmother Melton , gently. "He owns this cottage , and if he moved he would have to rent another home , and perhaps he couldn't sell this one. " The Meltons had only been in their new home since the summer before. ' Both Fred and Polly had enjoyed it very much indeed during the pleasant warm weather of August and Septem ber. Then the wide , swift Mississippi had gleamed through the willows and there had been unlimited boating and swimming and fishing. But with the coming of winter the roads choked full of snow and ice , and the winds swept up the river sharp and cold , and it was a dreary , lonesome walk of four miles to school at Springville. As the winter progressed they had complained more and more , and now for a week , owing to the spring freshets , P.olly had been unable to go at all , and Fred was compelled to make a long detour over the bluffs to avoid the lagoons in the river bottoms. "They'll all get ahead of me , " Polly nad sobbed ; "and I can't pass my ex aminations. " That morning Father Melton had < gone up the river to help watch the levees. Reports had been coming from St Paul , St. Louis , Cairo and other points farther up the great river that ' the wa ter was rising rapidly. The levees must be watched night and day to prevent breaks. On leaving his home that morning Mr. Melton had told Fred that he would be back be fore , dark , and that there was no dan ger to fear from the water. All his * neighbors had told him that his cottage - tage was high enough to be safe , even in the greatest floods. "It's after 9 o'clock now , " said Polly , as she arose from the table ; "I wonder where father is. " "I'd go out and watch for him if it wasn't raining so hard , " said Fred , - and then he looked around toward the doorway , anxiously. He caught his breath suddenly. Then he half rose from the table and pointed at the floor. Grandmother Melton dropped her fork noisily on her plate and her eyes followed the direction in dicated by Fred's finger. Polly sat still and gazed at the other two , wonder ing what it all meant. There on the floor , crawling from the crack under the door , was a dark wriggling object. . At first Fred had taken it to be one of the swamp rattlers so common to the Mississippi bottoms , and his first impulse was to spring for his father's rifle which stood in the corner. • Its the flood , " said Grandmother Melton when she could get her wreath. By this time the black ribbon of water was spreading , slipping-into the cracks and creeping out over the floor toward the table. Polly broke into a cry of terror. Even Grandmother Mel ton seemed uncertain what to do. Fred suddenly roused himself. He remembered that he was the man of the house , and that he must watch over and protect it in his father's absence. So he sprung from his seat and threw open the door , not without a throb of fear. It was dark outside , and the rain came down in torrents. Curling up over the step they could see the muddy water , and they could hear the sound of it slapping against the house. It stretched away into the darkness in all directions as far as Fred coulu bee. He knew that it already must be a root or more high around the house. "The levee's broken , " said Polly , in a scared awed voice. "Do you think we'll be washed away ? " At that moment something bumped the side of the against house with so much force that the dishes rattled. Kred ran to the side window , peered out , and found that a big log had .vashed down against the building. • Grandmother Melton , who was usual ly cool and brave under the most try- Jug circumstances , was wringing her 'hands in terror. "Hun upstairs , " shouted Fred , "and Polly and I'll bring all the stuff we can with us. " Grandmother Melton waited no long er. She crept up the narrow stairway to the little attic. Fred ran to the cup board and began filling his arms with • ( lishes of food , while Polly in her ex citement seized the first thing that came to hand grandmother's rocking- chair and struggled up the stairs with it "We'll need clothing more'n anything else , " called Grandmother Melton. Fred ran back. "The floor-of the cot tage was now entirely covered with water. He splashed through it and seized all the clothing , coats and jack ets he could carry. Polly bravely wiped away her tears , and when Fred brought the loads to the stairway she i , aMPgsrtayf i Wl'tfy i * T < aw ifitinrwawMiiw iiiiiwiwiwiw ii i ran with them to the bedroom where Grandmother Melton was sitting. By this time 'the 'Tmllditfg had'begtn to shake and quiver as the water beat against it "She's going soon , " shouted Fred. "I'm afraid the water will' reach us up here , " suggested Grandmother Mel ton. ton.Fred looked up. The celling was low , and just above him there had been an old trap-door , now nailed up. In stantly Fred seized the ax and burst it open. Above they could see the dark sky and the rain coming down in steady torrents. Fred piled a trunk on top of the table and climbed out on the roof. He couldn't see far , but he could hear the roaring of the water from every direction. His heart sunk ; he felt sure that they all would be drowaed. Suddenly something thumped heavily against the side of the building , and the next instant the front end of the room went up and grandmother and Polly slipped down toward the rear end. Fred narrowly escaped being hurled off the roof. "We're going ! We're going ! " screamed Polly. "We're just off the foundation , " answered Fred , as bravely as he could. Then he swung back down into the bedroom and. helped Grandmother Melton and Polly up through the trap door to the roof. He covered them up as well as he could and told them to cling to the ridgepole whatever might happen. Then he ran down for a coil of clothesline. This he tied firmly to the window at one end of the bedroom , carried the other end up through the trap-door , along the roof and dropped it over the eaves. Down he went again and fastened it to the other win dow frame. It would do to hold to. Hardly had he finished his work when the building gave another great lurch. "Hold on , " shouted Fred. The words were hardly out of his mouth when he found himself thrown violently from his feet He caught a glimpse of the water pouring up the stairway and then the lamp was cap sized and went out. Next he found himself pounding about in the water. "Fred ! Fred ! " came the agonized voice of Polly. "Here I am , " spluttered Fred. In falling he had caught the edge of the trap-door and Polly helped him to the roof. "We had all we could do to hold on , " gasped Grandmother Melton. "We're moving , " shouted Polly. They rocked and scraped and bump ed along , with the water swirling and crashing around them. "It's our first voyage , ' said Fred , with an effort to laugh ; "p'raps we'll wind up in the Gulf of Mexico. " But Polly didn't laugh ; neither did Grandmother Melton. A few minutes later they heard some WE'RE MOVING , one shouting far out on the stream nd they saw the glimmer of a lantern. They shouted in return , but there was no answer , and presently the lantern was swallowed up in the darkness and the three castaways were even more lonesome and terrified than before. They were compelled to cling firmly to the rope and the ridgepole all the time , for the house was continually bumping against obstructions in the stream and careening and jolting like a boat in a rough sea. Besides this , they were wet to the skin and shiver ing with cold and fright. Occasionally huge forms would loom up near them , and they would see the outline of trees or buildings floating down the river. They were momentarily afraid lest their boat should bump into something and be broken up. If this happened they Knew they would have small hope of escape. Quite suddenly they felt the building grind on something , and then , with a jolt , it came to a standstill. Thjy could hear the timbers strain and creak and the current of the stream splashing about it , but it did not move. "Well , we're anchored. " said Fred. "I suppose we're out somewhere on a sandbar in the Mississippi. " "Do you think we have reached Memphis ? " asked Polly , anxiously. To Polly it seemed as if they had been drifting for hours. For a long time they remained al most still. Occasionally they joined their voices in a great shout , but there was no answer. Fred said the water reared so loud that no one could hear It , anyway , but it eased their spirits to be doing something. At last they started again , with a jerk and a shiver , as if some oi the timbers of the building had given away. They bumped on for. what seemed an cndleas time , and then , after scraping alon ? for some minutes , they again stopped. By this time the rain hai { ceased and the moon shone out faint- . through the clouds. "There's lights , " cried Polly , joyfully. Sure enough , on the hill , not such a • great distance away , they could see i many lights gleaming out over the 1 water. Nearer , there were other lights i moving about , as if in boats. 1 "It's Memphis , " said Polly , and then 1 they all shouted at the top of their : Tolcec " i * lNi l lMlt > Ul riWI > M > lll M WWWllW WWa gaMBiWilff > lll UWUMIli But no one heard them. The water roared too loudly. So they sat for hours and hours It seemed to tneni until the gray light of morning began to break In the east They strained their eyes as it grew brighter and look ed off across the gray flood of water with Its scattering heaps of wreckage to the town on the hill. "I thought. Memphis was a bigger city than that , " said Polly. "It Isn't Memphis , " said Fred , with a little joyful ring in his voice that made Polly and her grandmother look around quickly ; "it's Springville. " "Springville ! " And Springville lt was. They could see the little weatherbeaten church on the hill , and the red-brick schoolhouse , and Judge Carson's home , and a great many other familiar places , although some of the buildings that had stood near the river had disappeared. ' 'But haven't we come only four miles ? " said Grandmother Melton , looking greatly surprised. Half an hour later two boats came alongside and the castaways were car ried ashore. On the bank Polly found herself in the arms of her father , crying - ing and laughing all at once. Father Melton looked old and worn and wor ried. He had given up his family for lost , and he was bravely helping the other people in the work of rescue. After the flood was subsided the Meltons went down to look over their home. Father Melton hardly knew , what to do , but Polly spoke up quite promptly. "I tell you , father , let's leave it right here and live in it ; Fred and I won't have so far to go to school. " And what do you think ? That is just what Father Melton did. He straight ened the house around , built a new foundation under it , and the Meltons are living there today , quite happy and contented. So you see the flood helped two persons at least Polly and Fred- Chicago Record. Varying Power of X-Rays. At a recent meeting of the Royal so ciety in London a description was given of the change that occurs in the penetrative power of the X-rays in proportion as the air is more and more completely exhausted from the vacuum tube in which the rays are produced. At a certain degree of exhaustion the rays penetrate the flesh and show the bones of a human hand in shadow. With a greater exhaustion of air the • flesh becomes almost perfectly trans parent , while the bones remain opaque. With a still higher degree of exhaus tion the rays begin to penetrate the bones ; and with the highest vacuum through which the electric discharge will- pass , the bones themselves be come almost as transparent as the flesh. Similar variations in penetrat ive power can be produced by increas ing o - decreasing the power of the current , or by varying the electrical resistance of the tube. A Birds' Sea Resort. Naturalists consider it a wonderful fact that the Bermuda Islands have only seven native species of land birds , while no less than a hundred and twenty-eight other species pay visits to the islands. Many of these visitors are birds which pass the sum mer in the United States , and utilize the Bermuda Islands as a convenient winter resort , thus imitating some of their human compatriots. Even some American bats follow the example of the birds by wintering in the Bermu das. MIXED PARAGRAPHS.
