"Wiii ycu mary ie "No, I won't.." 6-Vety well ; then don't, that's all." Mr. Fred Ncukerson drew away his chair, and puttitig his feet up on the pi.azz,t, utnftlded a newspaper. Mis, U oky Newton bit her lip and went in with her sowing. She wcndered of that was going to be the la,t of it. hie had felt this proposal Coming for n urly a tmouth, but the scene she had anticipated wvas not. at all htke this. Sht, had inteuded to refuse himt, b,ut it wvas to ho done gracefully. She was to remaitn firm, not withti4.aad. inag lhis most eager etntreatice. She wvas to have told htitm that though respoutitg his manly worth atnd up. right chaaraictor, she could neover be to hiam more thtan an appreciative and earnest fried. She hnad intended to shed a fow tears, perhaps, as heo knolt writhing in an agony' of supplication at her feet. But instead, he had ask ed her the sitn.ple question,. without any rhetorical emibellishmietnts, and on being atnswered had plunged at once into his necwspaper, as though ho had merely inquired tbe time of day. She could have cried with vexa tioni. "You will never have a better chance," he eon'it.nLed after pauvo, as ho deliberately turtned over the asheet to find the telegrnaph reports. "A better ehiance fur what, I" she asked shortlj. "A bettor chanee to marry a young, good-lhoking matan, whose gal Iantr'y to tho sex is only exceeded by his bravery in thoir defense." Fred wvas q1uoting from lils newspaper, bit Mliss Newton didl not know it. "And whtose egotism is onaly ex celled by his impajudence," retorted the lady, sarcastieally. "Before long," continuted F'red, you will ho out of the miar ket. Your chances, you know aro gottitng slim-. mier every day." ''Sir I" "It won't be a great wile be. fore you are ineligible. You will grow old atnd wrinkled and" "Sueh rudeness to a lady, sir, la monstrous," exolaimedi M. iss Newton, rising hastily anda flaing to the tempIog. "I'll give you a final opportunity, Miss Booky.

"She is never so handsome as when she is in a rage," thought Fred to him.self, after she had gone, as he slowly folded up his paper and re. placed it in his pocket. "I was a fool to goad her so. I shall never winj her in that way. But I'll have her.' he exclaimed, aloud. "By Heaven, I'll have her, cost what it may I" Very different was the Fred Eek. erson of tue present, pacing nervous ly up and down the piass, from the Fred Eckerson of a few moments sgo, receiving his dismissal from the wo man -he loved, with such calm and importurbabl exterior. For he loved Beokey Newton with all his heart. The real difficulty in the way, as he more than half ruspeoed, was not no much with himself as in his pocket. Beky Newton had an insuperable objection to an empty wallet. The 1aughter of a wealthy Louisiana planter, reared in luxury, and the recipient of a weekly allowance of pin money sufficient to pay Fred's whole bills for a month, she had no immediate idea of changing her situa ten for one of less comfort and independence. Besides, it had been intimated to her that a neighboring planter of unusual uri6tooratic line age had looked upon her with cove. touv eyes. To be, sure he was old und ugly, but he was riob, and in her tiesent mercenary state of mind Miss Iecky Newton did not desire to allow 4uch a chance of becoming a wealthy widow slip by unimproved. But a4as for human nature I If R3ec'ky was really so indifferent to Fred Eckerson, why did she ruu up tairs after that interview and take Lhe sturch all out of her nice, elean pillow-shanii by crying herself in;* hysterios on the bed. It was not alt wrath, not all vexation, it was-not all pique. There was suinowhere deep lowu in Becky Newton's heart, a rceing very much akin to remorse. 3he was not sure she would not some Iay be sorry for what she had done. FAhe had -no doubt she could be very iappy as Fred Ekorson's wife, after ll. "But then," she oried, growing hot with the recollection, "1 never o jull live with such a man,-never I" N hen Fred Eckerson had walked f some of .his feelings on the piazza, he concluded to ta'kea look a't 'the river. The Mississippi, which flowed within live huudred yards of the house, was at the time nearly at the height of its tainual "ispring rise." Its turbid waters, rushing swiftly to wards the sei, had nearly filled the banks and in many places had brokei through the levees and flooded the lowlands for wany milem. A crevasne of this description had been made in the farther bank, nearly opposite the house, and the windows of the Newton mansion commanded a view of a vast anta glittering inland sea, not laid down on the maps. The m.in current of the strealp bore upon its colfee-colored bosotu an enormous mass of floating timber, which was dashed alonig in the boiling flood, ren dering navigation wholly impossible. Hio waters were still rising, and the frtquent crashes far and near told of the undermining power of the current, as sections of the sandy banks sucoumbed aind disappeared, uarrying with themn the trees which overhucg the~ stream. New, it haeppened that by r. curi cus ooiIti :ence, Misi Newt,.n also re solved to look at the river. She dried her tears,and putting on her hat, slipped out of the back door to avoid Fred, anid soon found herself a the foot of a huge cotton wood tree on the bank below the house. Th'1rowing herself upon the grass, and lulled by the bubbling of the rapid flood beneath her, she soon fell fast asleep. Had she possessed any power of fore-seeing the future, it would have been the last thing she would have done, for although it was very pleasant dropping asleep there in the shade with the soft sun. light flittering throngh the leaves overhead, the awakeniing was not at all to her mind. .A terrible crash made chaos of her dreams; the ground slipped from beneath her tihe tall cottonwood toppled aid fell ; and Miss leoky Newton found h,ers.elf suddenly I.amersed in the cold flood, with lher imouth full of muddy water. In a moment more somebody's arm was around her and she felt herself lifted up and placed somewhere in the sunahine, though precisely where, she was as yet too bessildered to know. Getting her eyies open at last, she found F?red Eckekrsomn'd whiskers nearly brushing her face. "Well I" "WVell I" "Where am I 1 asked Becky, shiT. ering anid looking around her. "In, the middle of the Missisippi," replied Fred, "and you are in the fork of a cottonwood-tree, and you are voyaging toward the Gulf of Mexico just as fast as this freshet can carry you." "H-ow camne you here li "I,, the 3:000 oniveyirce. wit' father's plantation, whioh, I fear, 1 lost to him forever." Becky was silent. She was think ing, not of the aoident or the peril one position, but of her appearane %hen she was lying asloop on th gr wa. "How long were you there befor this happened " she asked. "Astong as you were. Iwas uj in the tree when you came." "You had no right to be there, she said, coloriog,-"a spy upon m movements." 4Nonsense I" he replied. "Yo, intruded on my privacy, and whil you slapt I watched over you, lik the sweet little chorub that sits ul aloft." "Thank you for your services, I'm sure." she said, bridling. "You snored awfully." "Mr. Bokerson, remove your sirn from my wrist.9 "Then put yours around i neck." "Indeed I will do no such thing.', "You will fall into the river if yot do not." Becky was silent for soveral mo, ments, while their unwieldly oraf whirled along the current, rollino from aide to side and threatenin every instant to turn comrletoij over and tip t.hem off. At last obt said "What are we to do I" "I think now that I am started 1 shall go on to Nw Orleans," hC replitid. "To New Orleans," exclaimec Becky. "It is a hundred miles." "Yes, andl the chance .for a fret passage for such a dist-aitc is not tt e neglected. You ean go ashore ii you prefer." She burst into tears. "You are cruel," she said, "ti treat we to." ;Uruel W" exclaimed Fred, draw. ing her closer to him, quickly, "cruel to you " Tbore was eo help for it, and ahi again relapsed into silence, quit< content, apparently, to remain i Fred's arms, and evincing now n disposition to rebel. For once it her life she was dependent tin a tian "I want to go to New Orleavs.,' ountinued Fred, and, after a pause "because there is a young iady ol my acquaintance residing theri whom I have an intention of invitin inte this neighborhood." "0 P) if we don't go to New Orleans and if we get out of thi.i serape, shall write for her to coue ay way." "Ali !1" " shall obtain board for her ii St. Jean, which will be coinvoieni for me as long I remain your fath er's guest. I can ride over afte breakfast every morning you see." "She is an intimate friend, then,' said Becky. I expect to marry her before long he replied. "Marry tier ! Why you-you pro posed to n.e this mornitig." "Yes but you refused me. I tob you thon you would never have an other chance.1 Boeky was silent again. It is mitter of some doubt n hether, had Fred at that umonent, sitting astrid, that cotton wood log with his feet ii the water and ;hia arm niound be waist, proposed to her a second time she would have accepted himi or not To be sure a marvelous ohange hat comle over hecky's fo ilings since he tumble into the river :She felt ju then that one s ron.g erw like tha which supported her, was worth thousand old and decrepit planters and she recognised the fact that L man who could talk so coolly an' unconcerned ly in a situa tion of such extreme peril, was ouc of nao ordinar' courage. But she was not yet quit, prepared to give up her goldei dreams. The dross was not quits washed out of her soul, amnd she di< not yet know how much shi lovea Fred IEckerson. Besides she did no half believe bim). The clumsy vessel floated en, noi root first, now sideways, and now hal submerged beneath the boiling cur rent. Their precarious hold becani more uncertain ae their frames be came chilled by the old water, aut every plunge of the log threa tened ti cast them once more into the riv~er In vain Fred endeavored to attrae the attention of~ some one 'on then shore. The oottonwood retained course nearly in the middle of the stream, too far from oit.her bank t< render their outcries of much avail As it grew dark, their situnatiot. g rot muore and more hopeless, and t< Boosky there appeared to be ao escap from death, either b'y da.wning ii the darkness or by exhaustion bofor< daybreak. Yet to die in this man's arms som ed niot wholly a terror. She coub hardly thinak, if death must come, o anay way in which sho would rathei meet it. Was it possible she lovec him, and must need. be broughit withI in the valley of the shadow befor< she couldl kn'ow her heart. Had shi h.oved ill al - l WV ' I . w:'v a ard comfortable. Raising her hea< .,he found herself enveloped in Fred coat. "Fred I' e "Well 1" a "You have robbed yourself to kee me warm. You a re freezing." B "No I ain't, I took it olf beoui it was so awful hot," and taking ou his handkerohief with his disengage hand he made a pretense of wipiti ' tho.perspiration from his brow. y "How long have I been abloep ?" "About three hours. We are drih i ing on shore now." S"Stall we be saved ?" a "I don't know. Put, your arm around my neck, for I'm going t take mine away." IBeoky did this time as she . wa biddeu. She not only throw her arm quickly around - his neck, but sh laid her head upon his breast, witl out tho slightest besitation. la t h darknets,LVied did not know tha she imprinted a kiss upon his bhirt bosom. ''11ol-. fast now !" he oried. 'lk on, for your dear life !" The log had been graduilly tioir tivtg th -hore for some ti me, and I nox shut sud4enly under a large syo 1101which overhung the bun an.t trai ed its brauches in the browi fi od.
