For a week F Ridgetord had suffered from rains t' such as had not been known within t generations, and in the wake of I he l" P rains had followed a most disastrous P dood.

At first she thought t^at she would not gq far into Riclgefbrd, but would make her purchases at some of the sijourban sljops that lined the way. Bijt wc have most of i}s known the unsatisfactory character of suburban shops, and Margaret, finding exercise pleasant after her week's cpnfinement in the house, could not make up her mind to stop 6hort of the establishments where she usually dealt. "Walking on, therefore, sue soon iounci ner self in tlie heart of the town, jost ling an^oug a throng of people on the wet pavements, and finally talkilig across a familiar counter to a familiar dealer in teas and other groceries. The man knew her well, and likefl her bright tape, a$ every one (lid who came in contact with it; so; while he tQP.k down hep or ders, and tied up her bundles, he descanted freely and fully on the great Ridgeford topic?the terrible and all-absorbing flood. Despite the papers, and Respite Hugh, Mar garet h^d scarcely appreciated tlie awful desolation which had bpen wrought, until it was brought home jo her by the manv minute particu lars?the personal hardships and lossesTT-tJiat go |o qiake up the full sum of such ^ public pa^r^ty. ^ These were poured upon her now in ? such stream that it was only when 6 a partial lull in the garrulity of her ? informant came, t^at she was able to take up her bundles and prepare ] to leave the shop. As slie was in the act of doing so, the proprietor \ stepped from behind the cpunter to say, by way of adieu : > "If you have seen notjiipg of flie 1 flpod, Miss Churchill, it would be ' 4 ' 1 ! I ? I It . wortn your wnue to taKe a iook at! it. You are hardly likely eyer to see such another?at least,' the Lord preserve us from its like in Ridge ford again! If?you go home by Light Street?it won't take you very much out of yox\$. yyay?you can get a tolerable view 'pf'the stream and the houses tfrat are undi-r water." Margaret thanked him, and said that she thought she would go home bv Light Street. She almost changed her mind, however, when she came out and saw how threats ejiing the clouds were; but, on con sideration, she found it impossible to resist the temptation of seeing the flood, row that it was at its Height, sb, blotching her umbrella firmly,' she tprped hey steps toward Light Street!'' |t was' very much as the dealer in teas and ot)ier grocer ies had told her. From Jhis rather elevated poinfij she bad 9. ^tolerapje I'iew" of the submerged quarter, ind of the angry, turbid water ft-bich had broken its bonds and lone all the mischief. But Miss Churchill was a young lady of am otion, and, havingseeu thus much, she wanted to see more. The gloomy desolation of the sight fas cinated her. She was anxious, and letermined to have more than a nere glimpse of it. To obtain this was, or seemed to icr, easy enough. By skirting iround the suburbs of the town, i ihe could reach home as safely, if lot a3 speedily, as by following the lirect course. It must be conceded i hat this was not a very prudent )rojeot, considering the gathering rloom of the sky, the lateness of he hour, for four o'clock is late in i :loudy November weather, and the < act that her path would lie through ? lalf-bnilt suburbs, inhabited almost : >ntirely_by manufacturing opera- | ives. Uut Margaret could be will- < ul sometimes, and she was willful ust now. "I'll uot have another < ihance," she thought, with a glance i it the clouds which should have de- < erred her. Then, gathering her j vater-proof closer around her, she i litted away, In fifteen minutes, it began to ' ain; at ha]?paat four, it waa pour ng torrents; at a quarter to five, a ' nan, walking hurriedly along with i 113 hat pulled over ma browa, and lis coat buttoned up to his chin, in ain defence against the sweeping5 >last. came first upon an umbrella 1 cudding aimlessly along before the 1 he wind, and then upon a soaked ' igure of a woman standing help- i essly in the midst of a rising pool I if water. Night was closing over 1 he wild scene of storm; the river, lot far off, was pouring over its ' apids with a sound like that of I nany Niagras; the scattered booses f the neighborhood scarcely show d a light?for, in truth, they had II been forsaken by their inhabi unts?and the whole picture was ne which Koland Tyrrell was just hir.king could scarcely be matched or complete, and it might readily trove dangerous, desolation, when, o his amazement, he stiimbled upon his solitary woman, tfJio, lifting ip her face in the dying ligbt, roved to be Margaret Churchill, "Good Heavens J" be aaidl, seizing er involuntarily, "Miss Churchill! s it you r "U Mr. Tyrrell \" said Margaret, i ;ith a half-hysterical gasp of relief. < Kat, bftwttd?r^rafanQst4espaiFif>g,- \ s she had been the njpment before, j he dims tp fyim as sf)e npght have t lung to II ugh. It was so good to ave a protector; and, in truth, few j ,'omen could have asked a better g rotector than lie who stood looking ] [own upon her in amazement. "Is it you ?" he repeated, as if he g ould not realized the fact. "For i leaven's sake, what are you doing j ere ?" "I don't know," said Margaret, t till unstrung by the revulsion of i [jrror and relief. "I started from ] ome this way," she went on, after minute, "and I?I think I must \ avc got lost. Do you know where ] re are, Mr. Tyrrell ?" 1 "Perfectly well," answered Tyr- i ell. "We are close in the neigli- < orhood of my mills?apd a very t angeroijs neighborhood it is just t o\v. To think of a woman here 1 lone at such an hour? You might 1 ave wandered into the flood, or ( illen into the hands of prowling 1 uffians?Good Heaven ! how could \ ou be so rash ?" he broke oft', al- i aost angrily. i "I?I don't know," said Marga- i et, again?this time penitently. I wanted {p see ^e flood. It is 1 iot m$ fault, Mr. Tyr.relj?I was J ure I could reach home this way." ' "What jnattyesal" he said. Thpn, n a lower tone, "(jiod knows where ou would have bpen in the morn pg, if 1 had not chanced to stum tie upon you. Come this way." "If you will only be kind enough o show me liow to get home,*' she aid, meekly, clinging to him close y, aa hp hurried her along through he storrfl and gathering darkness. "I'm afraid that is impossible/' ie answered. "We are in a differ ent quarter altogether, and you will mnev now irom exposure to sucli $ itorm. We must fine} a reiugQ as iQOn as possible." ^J3ut Hugh will be sq uneasy," pleaded Margaret. "Then he should haye tafcen bet ter care of you," \yas tl^p Rejoinder. After this, nothing more was 3,ai^l. Tyrrell's decided manner bpye dow^ fcvery thing, and Marga ret felt that indeed any refuge would be better than the storm of howling wind and lain which beat where they were going, aB her com panion half led, half carried her oyer much injeven ground, and through pools of water, bu,t sn? felt sure that wherever, that strong arm and gentle hand led her shp Vfpuld be. $ft(e, and with tha^ consciousness she was wise enough to be satibfied. At last $he heard Tyrrell 'say "Thank tiwJLI" ^d, lopking around, she saw the dark outline pfj a building close at haptf. The next moment he partly released her while he opened a door, then her quickly within, and closed it behind her. The sense of relief was almost overpowering?the con trast bet ^een the fierce battle they had been fighting and the refuge they, had gamed?and, spent from her long effort, Margaret would as She did not ask suredly have fallen if the same arm which had led had not now upheld her. 'Courage!" Tyrrell said, in a tone of re-as9urance, but also of anxiety. "Don't give way now thiif: wo nrfl anfo f P.nn T trnnf-. vnn to stand alone one minute, while I : strike a light ?" Margaret said "Yes;" but no sooner was the support of his arm withdrawn, than she quietly sank down upon the floor. There she sat, leaning her head against the 1 wall near which she chanced to be, while he felt about a little, finally struck a match, and then lighted a : lamp. nlrl r\f fViia A O ft TT7 QAmfl.

A glaneq at the walls and ceiling i 3how^d her that it was oue of the bettetfclass of workmen's cottages - whichjwas thus metamorphosed. i Having lighted his lamp, Mr. ] Tyrrell's next step was to rummage iu hirf cupboard, from which he j brought forth a bottle and a turn- " bier. *' . i "Y<jn must take a stiff glass of ] braud^, Mies Churchill," he said, < bringing these up to Margaret. < 'Itis^ouronly hope of avoiding an i ittack of iUqess.

Margaret's communicative gnooef had told her that among the mill-, owners Mr. Tyrrell had suffered most severely?that, in fact, he was very nearly "as good as a ruined man"?so the tone of this last sen tence did not surprise her. It only made her feel very sorry for him, and she looked up with her quick eyes full of sympathy. "Is that why you are here?" she asfced, ^That?" he repeated, looking a little puzzled, ''The destruction of my mills, da you mean? No, I came here to be within reach of the suiflere^ the flood, and to be able tp relieve the^n somewhat. It is little enough that one can do!" he added, with a short sigh.

Ou cannot well praise a man who doc not know that he has done anythin .or which to be praised. After while, however, she looked at hit again, and suggested that he ws very wet (,I am used to that," he aaid, sm ling a little. Still he drew nearer the fire, am when she insisted that he shoul take his slir?Derg?her own' shoe being dry by this time?he coul not refuse to exchange his wet bool for them. This, of course, mad him more comfortable, and, obsen ing that the top of the kettle wa being merrily lifted off by th steam, he asked Margaret if sb had had any supper. When sne replied in the negf tive, he went to his cupboard au brought forth a teapot and paper c tea. "I hope you don't prefer coffee, he said, a little anxiously, "for never drink it myself, and I hav no means to make it, nor, indeec any to make." Margaret hastened to assure hir of her preference for tea, thinkin the while a little' blankly of th pound or two of the best Oolou which she had lost in the atruggl to retaiu her umbrella, and watche the process oj steeping witn tn appreciation of a good hous< keeper.

She did not speak bitterly or ve hemently; on the contrary, she spoke mitli f-caHnous find infinifA flrAnfla. ness, but Tyrrell felt to the very centre of his soul that Hogh's fiery hatred was more likely to turn into love than this decision of bis sister to be moved or shaken*-- The young engineer had been right wheohtf said, in his impetuous pride, "On a point of honor we Churchills always, think aliko," and even ho might hfeve been satisfied that Margaret remem bered as deeply as himself their black and bloody debt to Henry Tyrrell.
