A rustic bridge with a frail railing,
a charming young lady resting upon
it. a creak, a splash and Minna Graves
uttered a shriek and sank beneath the
surface of the brook.
A lithe, carelessly-dressed figure,
that of a young man coming up the
bridge approach, a shout of interest
and alarm and as he plunged boldly
into the swirling current, Minna came
up choked, blinded and frantic.
"Don't struggle," spoke gentle but
resolute tones in her ear, so confidence-inspiring
that Minna obeyed
orders and came ashore dripping,
flushing at the ridiculous figure she
made. Her rescuer warded off her expressions
of fervent gratitude with a
light laugh over their mutual predicament,
and she grew coherent enough
tr indicate that a park-like place in
the near distance was her home.
Rolfe Ditson conducted her to its
open gateway, solicitously made sure
that she was able to get to the house
unaided, derided the idea that he
might catch cold from his wet garments
and went his way after an Invitation
to call and meet her people.
Rolfe Dit8on swung on his way with
brightened eye, for he worshiped
beauty and goodness. As to Minna,
she could not get that strong intellectual
face out of her mind readily.
His first call led to a second. These
two were fast approaching a state
of mutual love.
Minna saw in him a handsome, wellbred
gentleman. Her father and
mother rather liked his direct, yet
unobstrusive ways. Not so Harold
Graves. This son and brother had a
chum he had tried to thrust upon the
attentions of Minna. His sister disliked
him intensely. When Rolfe appeared
upon the scene the rejected
suitor scented a rival. Thenceforward

"I'll show you. I'll have him arrested
the next time he sets his foot on
these grounds."
"You dare!" flared up his sister.
"Do you think I would believe such a
thing as you intimate against a true
gentleman who saved my life, and
who has the confidence and respect
of our father and mother? You have
never liked Mr. Ditson, and this is
some plot of yours, because of your
preference for that chum of yours."
"It's true, just the same," persisted
Harold, angrily. "1 tracked him
down. I saw him meet a regular
rough crew of the fellows who are
making the revenue service people so
much trouble, smuggling goods over
here across the Canadian border. He
octed cheek by jowl with them. Went
off with them in their boat. I've told
be revenue people about it. They're
yto* off after tbfe gang tomorrow."

Rough Crew.
the two chums aimed to dislodge and
discredit Rolfe, if possible.
"I'm on a still hunt," Harold Graves
told his crony one day. "Dltson is
mighty mysterious and secretive. He
lives at the next town hotel, he says,
but he does not appear there more
than once a week. He disappears
regularly. I'm shadowing him, I'll
have some news soon that will oust
the fellow, trust me."
And, sure enough, one afternoon in
a great state of excitement young
Graves sought his sister in the garden.
one was j iu a uaiiiiiiwn, uicomlng
tenderly of the absent Rolfe. She
was trustful and proud of his attentions,
and although he had been very
reserved as to his business in the
town and Its vicinity, she felt that
he had some good reason for that
policy.
"I've found out!" proclaimed Harold
in a tone of exultation.
"Found out what?" inquired Minna.
"About Ditson. I never liked his
evasive ways Neither did my cl urn.
Humph! I fancy after this you'll
value tried and true friends like him,
instead of picking up with a smuggler."
'A smuggler?" repeated Mini1.;
vaguely.
"That's just what Ditson is. A regular
member of the Black Ribbon gang,
down at Bottle Point."
For a moment Minna's face
whitened, then confidence and loyalty
came back into her eyes.
"Nonsense!" she said simply.

you tell before you make me belief*
that Mr. Dltson ie anything but a true*,
honorable gentleman," said Minna,,
stubbornly.
"All right. Wait a day or two andr
see!" vaunted Harold.

faith in young Ditson, but the intelligence
she had received made her uneasy.
Perhaps there was some dark
plot against Ditson, she reflected.
Her brother and his chum, she felt
assured, were equal to that. She
wrote a brief note to Rolfe, addressed
to his hotel in the next town, warning
him that enemies were seeking to
get him into trouble.
Rolfe did not get the note for ho
was away?with the smugglers, in
truth and verity! If Minna could
have seen him the next evening
shortly after dark at a cave on the
lake that was a headquarters for the
smugglers, she would have shuddered.
He seemed to be one of the grizzled
rough looking crew who were await1
ing the arrival of a skiff carrying
contraband goods from the Canadian
shore.
Rolfe sat on an upturned keg just
within the cave, when he was intensely
startled. One of the band
came into view, forcing before him
a prisoner.
"I found him spying on us," tha
smuggler explained. "In his pocket 1
found a note showing that he has put
i the revenue officers on to our den
here."
"Settle him!" hoarsely commanded
the leader of the crowd. "Here, vou"
run them and Jews own them." Nearer
to the truth, perhaps, is the New York
mot. "Houses nowadays are built by
Italians, owned by Jews and paid for
by Irish tenants." Being small and
' vegetarian, the Italians are not preferred
in earthwork for their physical
strength, but because of their endur.
ance of heat, cold, wet and muck. As
one contractor put it, "They can stand
,the gaff."?The Century.
Reported Loss of His Arm.
While walking along the railroad
track in the Mill Creek yard, John
Wise of Port Carbon, Pa., fourteen
years, was jostled by a man unknown
to him and he fell upon the track just
as a trip of cars came which ran over
him, severing his right arm above the
elbow.
Wise walked to the dispatcher's office,
several hundred yards distant,
and coolly told the men in the office
he had lost his arm, which they might
find on the tracks. He was hurried
to the office of a physician -where he - was
given first aid and brought to the
Pittsville hospital. The severed arm
'?to the captor and to Rolfe?"take
him over beyond the rocks yonder and
settle him."
"Her brother!" breathed Rolfe, aft
he recognized Harold Graves.
Harold was the worse for a severe
straggle and did not notice Rolfe, who
with his captor started to obey the or*
ders of the smuggler chief.
"This will do," said Rolfe's smug*
gler companion, as they got out of
sight of the cave. "Join in, mate, and
help finish him," and he drew his
revolver.
"Run for your life!" whispered
Rolfe quickly in the ear of the startled
Harold Graves.
In that flashing second the latter
recognized Rolfe. He uttered a cry
of profound amazement, but was quick
to avai> himself of the offered op*
portunity for escape.
He saw Rolfe strike the leveled
weapon from the l and of the smug"
gler. He saw the lailar grapple with
Rolfe. There wera loud cries for
help, and Rolfe, denounced c.s a
traitor to the band, was be e by
some of its members back to tL_ cave.
It was an excited, pitiful story that
Harold told to his sister when he
reached home. Even to his crude
mind the indication was irresistible
that Rolfe could not be one of th?
smugglers in reality, and oppose their
counsels at the forfeit of his life.
"He saved me, that's all I know, and
I'm sorry for him," said the subdued
Harold.
"And your work has brought him
to nis doom: soonea nis sister, on*
terly.
Then came news that the revenue
officers whom Harold had led to the
den of the smugglers, but had got
separated from, had made an onslaught
in time to save Rolfe from
the vengeance of the band. All had
been captured.
With a great cry, the next morning
Minna sprang from the porch to greet
a brisk, smiling visitor, Rolfe Dltson.
Soon he explained to her the complete
situation.
"I was employed as a government
agent to get at the Inside affairs of
the smugglers," Rolfe told Minna.
"The action of the revenue officers
has finished my work. I have come
to say good-by. for I must return to
Washington."
"But?you will come back, some
time?" faltered Minna.
"Is that your wish?" asked Rolfe,
quickly.
Her two trembling hands, resting In
his own, made answer, and whep
Rolfe Ditson left her, Minna Graves
was his promised wife.
