It had been raining in the way pecul-

days, driving across the open fields in |
sheets of water, and the down pour was
unceasing. The opposite bank of the
river was lost to view, and no human
being who could stay in doors ventured |
out, The chickens were shut up in the |
hen house, and the cows were in the |
barn,
Cone wandered about the house with
little Suay at her side, seeking amuse. !
ment, and even she found it dall. At
length she held Susy up to the front
window, and told her to count the logs
floating by on the foaming river. She |
watched and helped Susy to count them
for a fow minutes, and then with a sud.
den exclamation put her down, and
rushed off into the next room.
“Laws Mrs, Hanson, the river dona

must look after them their chickens, or

Mrs. Hanson started up and hurried
to the window, "There was no doubt

does, creeping on and. on, carrying de-
struction in its path. .

fluttered directly into the water n-

down with the rughicy whirling waters,
As Cone glanced up the stream her
countenance changed. She rushed back
into the house and tore upstairs, “Mrs,
