"She is never so handsome as

Fred Eckerson of a few moments sgo,
receiving his dismissal from the wo

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

Becky was silent. She was think

"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

Becky. "It is a hundred miles."

She burst into tears.
