No. 1508 Farnham Street , 0/rict Jfor U tUc opp , Oraud Central lintel , THE FLOOD. Not Noah's , but ono cqvmlly as tlis nstrous as frtr as it went , us tlioy know in Minnesota. Lucy Fanclien , standing in ho brothnr-in-law's door-wny , looking ou ever the snow nt the figure ot ft mat who had just turned and wired his Itat to her , had no idea it was coining Her blnck eyes wore bright and her face warm with inch color. ' 'Lucy , " called her sislur from the little bedroom , "who wna llio man at the door ? " "Charlio Kosccoo , " said Lucy , defiantly fiantly , "what is it to you , Colomb ? ' "What is it to mo. I'll tench you , miss ; when Polar comes you shall go homo nnd marry .lo Aim , as you have been told. You'ro not a Yankee girl , if you have boon to their school , and you shall do as you arc told. I'll ask old Gauticro to go for Father , Chora- lior when ho cornea into the house. " "I don't care , " said Lucy , still moro defiantly ; "you may pot a do/on piiosts , if you like , I'll not marry Jo Aim if ho has a thousand cattlo. Charlie is bolter with nothing. " "So foolish you lalk , what do you know ? you arc not to talk alone with nifii at my door , it is not decent. You should io ; back to Franco , miss , anil learn manners , and not to talk of your priests so disrespectfully. Fix the fire and coino and take the baby nnd let not Charlie Uosecoo comohoro once more. " Lucy filled the steve with corn , the railroads had brought but little wood yet and that was so dear they still used corn as they had done during tlio blockade. When she had done that she took the baby and sat by the win dow , rocking it and looking out on the snow where Oharlio had passed ut of sight Old Gauticro had coma in from the barn where ho had been to bake euro of the cattle and horse , and Colomb was telling through the open bedroom door of Lucy's rebellion. The old man muttered nnd Colomb scolded , but Lucy only looked moro rebellious and dcliant than over , and javo them a sharp answer now and ihon , tossing her blnck braids about with every scornful movement of her ; oquettish head. The old man mum- jlod and muttered about the black light , and that seine ono had told lira the river was rising above there , sut Lucy paid no attention to his words , and after once moro renewing ; ho fire lay down on the lounge near : ho door wf her sister's room , ready to mswor any call during the night. Soinetimo in the night , she did not enow how long she had been asleep , she was awakened by a terrible crash- ng and grinding about the houso. She could not tell what it meant , she lad never heard anything like it. 3olomb was screaming and old Gau- ricro stood on the stairs half-dressed and wholly terror stricken muttering about the river. The water began to pour in under ho door and almost while Lucy looked c rose ankle-deep. She rushed to lor sister's bed and called to the old man. She had bound many an ucro of wheat , and her arms wore not weak , and with the help the old man ! ould give her they dragged off the jed with her sister and the baby unon t , and by much pulling and pushing ; ot them up the narrow stair-way. The grinding and crashing con- .inued . ; they could hardly hear each other speak , and the water rose rap- dly. Lucy could see it rising higher and higher on the stairs , she had hur ried back and snatched the lamp from he table ns soon as Colomb was safe upstairs. She had to wade through vater to do it , and noticed that even lien it was as high as the chair scats and was putting out the fire. She vatchcd the water as it crept step by tep up those stairs and soon saw they would not bo safe there. The only ilazo of escape left was the attic and hat was a very small nnd low one , > ut they must take refuge there. She sot her wits to work to plan a way to each it. The chamber was unfin- shod , only a few loose boards lay on 10 beams overhead. Old Gauticro's > cd stood near and an old rickety tn- > lo beside it. She placed the table on the bed and got the old man up on ho beams , then she reached up bed clothes and a feather bed and directed lim to arrange a bed on the looao > oards , finally she lifted Colomb till ho had her where the old man could nke hold of the quilts about her and mil her up. They were not a minute too noon , or just as she reached up the baby and prepared to swing herself up roni the old table , there came an other and louder crash , the house ocked to and fro for a minute , the amp went down with a crash , there was a rush and sweep of water , and hey felt they were moving off. Co omb was shrieking and the old man airly howling in terror. Lucy put icr hand down between the bourns bo- ow thorn , it struck into the water. It vas as high as that then , it would soon ) o over at that rato. She thought of Charlie , where was ho ? lie had gone truight on down the valley , ho vould bo drowned. She cried out at hat fur the first time , but just then .ho house surged to ono side and Co. umb shrieked , and they all huddled own together in the darkness. On and on they went , the house winging to and fro in the current , ho water dashing nnd splashing ibout , and the ice grinding and crash- ng outside. The old man mumbled lis prayers nnd Colomb repeated hors , bricking out now and then to sumo aint for mercy , or calling loudly to jucy to stay near her. How long this asted tiioy could not tell , but after what saenicd to them a life- hue , the houao stood still. Where hey were they did not know but Mcy , digging open n little cinuk in .ho gable , could BOO cakes of ice all about , and beyond that the river run- ling furiously by. A church was bating along with the current ) and bovo all the grinding of the ice and rush of the water , she could hear the iwful tolling of its bell. Down on the cakes ot ice stood Colomb's best black ow , chewing her cud no if uho tycro ufo at homo in horatnll. The hours passed on drearily enough vith no food , no fire , no light , only ho darknoBA and noiao. It was day low , Lucy could HCO that , but the lit- lo attic wan still dark. Hut it was Boino consolation to know that they vero standing btill , and no longer in " lint crushing , crashing miisa , "Lucy videncd the crack in tno gable as the day passed on , and reported what slio saw. A lot of wood went by out in ho river wood that had been placed on the river bank for the use of steam boats when the river opened. She know what it was well onoiiijh , for she had seen some of the neighbors burning a part ot it during the blockade. Trees wont by. and pieces of houses , and a dead body rolle < ever and showed her its white , rigii face. She would not look again after that i Night settled down at last , and thnl was worse than day ; it vfM plensaiil to know that Ihcro was light oulmdo even if'thoy could not BOO it. Lucy did not sleep , the others slept a little , waking with frightened criua that made the night moro hideout. She WBS fearful lest they should start ngain and the house go to pieces in the ice , but it stood firm , and she be gan to fear they must stay tin-re and starve. Perhaps thu ice had frozen hard enough to allow her to not to shore somewhere , for thouuh the river was open , it seemed frozen solid where they were , which prob.ibly was not really the river , only where it had overflowed , and she resolved to try and cot out in the morning. When the 11 rat streak of li ht was visible , she began her work , but hav ing nothing but her hands ohe was jiving up in despair , when Colomb : riod out that she heard voices , They listened. , Sircly : there were voices , liclo had como. They shouted to let the rcsc'uors ' know they were there nnd nlive , but the voices wore growing fainter anil fainter , evidently they 11 ad concluded no onu was thuro and were going nway. With all their united voicci they called agnm and Lucy looked out through hur little opening in the wall and saw them , ; wo men , and one of them was yes , it was Charlie Itoaecoc. She put her nouth lo the opening and called with all her might : " 'Charlie , oh , Olmrlio ! joino back ! wo'ro hero ! " Then she ookcd again nnd saw they had turned and were running back. "They're coming , thoy'ro coining ! " she cried to Colomb ; "its Charlie , lo'll save us" but Colomb had aintcd The men were list long in making nn opening in the roof , for they were > rcparcd with their axes for just such 'inorgoncics , having been out at work- all night. Tlioy carried Colomb , vrapped in the bed clothes , across the co to their boat and Lucy led old jiiutioro , trembling with fear and voal.noss , to the .same place. They ihivercd in the 'bitter ' morning air , > ut Lucy soon found work enough to ccep her warm in helping the men to Hill the boat against the strong current. 2akcs of ice came rushing down al- nest upsetting them at time ? , and eng timbers swung around peril ously near the boat as they were dash- ni clown the river. Luck * asked ) harlio where they were , and how far , hey had como. Below Vane , ho told icr , and they had como 15 miles. Fif- con miles in a rocking , surging louse , among those enormous cakes of co she shivered again at her rowing. "Dp you know that place ? " asked Charlie. Lucy looked and saw a soli- ary house , standing amid enormous cakes of ice , < so black from mud and and covering them and contained in hem that they looked moro like cakes of black lava than ico. That 'was like 10 place she had over scon. "That is Glenn Island , " said Char- io. She looked again she could not joliovo it. Glenn Island was a pretty ittlo town ; she and Charlie had gone o school there , and it had churches , tores , schools and houscs'in plenty , t could not bo. "There is the railroad , " continued yharlio , as they got back nearer their own homo , or what had been homo , jucy could only see a vast sea stretch ing out on every had , with a swift current in the centio and blocks of co and mud hero and there in every lirection. Sometimes there was the rowf of a house or barn , and a few cattle perched on top o some straw lacks , or standing in the water half way up to their backs , the ice frozen o thickly about them that they could lot move. She could BOO no signs of ho railroad ; if.it was where Charlie > ointod , it was buried under tons of co. "Dp you know this farm ? " asked /harlio again. Lucy looked and saw acres of land > lunging into the river. Dead bodies f cattle lay hero and there , caught mong ono of the cakes of ice , and a > art ot a harvester whirled by them n the water. No , oho had never seen k , she was sure. "That is Jo Aim's , " said Charlio. She caught her breath and looked gain. All those broad acres and mrns and horses and cattle , that her istcr had talked of so often , gono. As she looked , she caught sight of u nan wedged in between two largo akoa of ice not fur from ( hem. "Thoro's a man , Charlie , " she said under her breath for the sight of him mil sent a horror to hor. "It's Jo , " cried Charlie as the boat wung around so they could BUO bib ace , "nnd he's dead. " Colomb cried out at that and bcg- ed them not to slop , and indeed they lould not in that swift river. How crriblo it all scorned as they went on. for elF , the bluffd , like the banks of ho sea , in the center of which was heir struggling boot , on every side oofs of churches , houses , barns , or vrccks of them all , The comfortable arms , that the year before had been ovored with wheat , buried in water ml ice , some half washed into the Ivor , and many covered with a do- xisit of sand tliut had ruined them or years , nt least Cattle , horses , onpors , mowora , everything gone , nd sometimes the owners , lee , like > oor Jo , Great trees were turn nil > y the roots , or cut ol' ( clean tin a niootli , some stripped of 'hoir bark , heir largo trunks coming half hunan - nan us they lay there ruined and lolplcs ! ) , Ono was stijl standing , and perched n its branches were throe women vhom Lucy recognized as her former icighbcrs , Mrs. Ole Oloson , Mrs. Stark Sturkeon and Mrs. Peterson. Such had a babe in hur arms and nil called loudly for help. Thu men miught the boat as near as possible o them , nnd promised to , send them iclp at once , but tlnnr boat wai full. I'ho women begged pitoou ly , They lad nil got together in onu house , hey said , and when that was going mil climbed into this true nnd had joon there all night and were cold , Colomb kiuw their husbands woru vith Pctor after wood , but she atiked vhero Mrs. Oleson's other childion were , and the poor woman broke out ebbing and said they were in the river , Sarah had slipped down into the water when they tried lo got up in the tree and Hans had dropped otF in the night when she had fallen asleep just a minuto.
