"Yes, Sam ami I have to go after those yearlings. Hut let everything else go for mother, dear. Always re member that. If she's the least bit nervous toward night, don't leave her a moment, my bird, but let the ani mals take care of themselves." Pearl lived on the shores of the great Mississippi, far down, where .lack Frost never gets a very tight grip on , things, and lets go very early, ;LS Madam Spring comes smiling about ller fattier was getting poorer and poorer year by year, as his worn-out land grew less productive with every season of slack tillage, until he found it hard to wring from it a living for his small family. The -.t.H-k dwindled down to a few poor ill-kept creatures which looked as if forlornly wonder ing within themselves whether it Were j really worth while to live or not Pearl's father had something of the same look himself, which increased as his wife grew weakly, and suddenly sank into the condition of a gentle inva lid, content to be waited upon, with out, perhaps, over pausing to ask whether she really stood in need of it. j You may think Pearl must have had a very sad childhood. Hut she had never known any other place nor any other children, and was so happy ;n her own bright, unselfish little nature as never to have suspected anything depressing in her surrounding-. lVarl throve as nothing else on the place throve, even under the burden of care which came to her t<>o young -how ering back upon her mother so m.inv caresses anil such loving care that it would l>c hard to say which looked most upon the other as a child. "I'll get your breakfast, pet. Wait till you see what I've got for you." Pearl skip]*sl about in great glee at being left in charge all day, ami, after the usual amount of small fussing, carried in the tray with a face full of anticipation of her mother's delight. "The first branch of crape myrtle. I found it peeping out in the sunny cor ner of the old pasture. You dear little mamma"—a dozen ki-i.scs on her thin hands—"if you could only go with me to see all the beauttful things' Hut I'll bring you every one. Papa thought that he had found the first magnolia bud the other day, but I won't take a single taste of egg. There isn't enough for yoti." •Must a taste, Jitle one." "Not one bit. Nee what a great strong thing lam! You must have the good things to make you well." The lassie set her foot down, and mamma never dreamed that there was something almost heroic in the refusal of the tempting morsel, the little girl having just turned away from her own uninviting breakfast of bucor. and corn bread. "The river looks curious, mamma, dear." she said, chatting over the wild flowers she was arranging on the table as she spread their feast. "1 went out into the I mat to piny, and, when I wanted to get out the water was be tween it and the shore, so I had to Jump." "Why, Pearl, are you sure?" "Yes, mamma; and 1 was afraid I eouldn' get it in again; so I untied it and held the rope till it floated to the little buoy, and then I pulled it in and tied it. It w;ts hard work, too." "Can the river IKJ rising? i wish they were not away, daughter." Tho helpless woman looked out of the window with n troubled face. The floods of tho year before had done but | l , • * little injury in their neighborhood, the hind lying much above the rivet level. Hut she knew that this was duo to the strength of the levees many miles above, and remembering having hoard people say that they never would stand another pressure of high water. The river was not yet as high as she had seen it, but she observed with some uneasiness that it had ad vanced upon them perceptibly during the last few hours. "I don't believe tho levee will break through," she said, trying to en courage herself and Pearl. Their dinner was eaten rather more soberly than ouite suited tho little girl; but after everthing was cleared awav, site had taken another look outside both felt better at perceiving that the waters seemed at a stand-still. "llring me tho brush fur your pretty hair, Pearl." It was ono ot tho few things she still had energy to do, this brushing and fondling of the child's hair. No one, seeing its beautiful luxuriance, could wonder at Iter loving admiration. Pearl took innocent pleasure in it as one of the tilings which mode her sweet to father and mother, and laughed as mamma loosened the soft braids and held up the wavv mass to catch the sunshine. ' "Papa says it's my golden flag," she said. "When I was out hunting old Snow last week, he knew it was me when I was a mile away." "Then you must hang out your flag whenever you want him to find you. I wish auntie were hero to help von to-day, my pet." Hut tho hand which held th<> long goldcp braid -uddenly dropped. "Look there, I'carl!" Pearl sprang up. and saw trees not j far away from thir door standing in water, where water had n<-\cr been j ln-fore. In .ne moment's glance -he i marked how tlf river was broadening i ami swelling. There was no sudden ! rush or roar as would have been the ease with a narrower stream, or one with high banks; but there was still s uuothuig mysterious and terri ble in the low sound, half-hissing, i half-murmuring, with which the piti less flood was half creeping upon them. She turned with one thought in her j brave little heart of caring for her mother a- she ho 1 promised. "Mamma darling, don't be frighten ed. You must get to the boat—you can, I know, win n I 'most carry you." i Hut the poor woman cried and trem j bled. "Oh. why dii| you leave us! The I levee has broken. We shall lwdrown j ed. Pearl, all alone here," Pearl had rushed out to the boat. Most fortunately the bank to which she had touid ani secured it was high. I'rawing it now much nearer i the hotisi-. she came and hurriedly pr<>- pan-d her la other, cooing to her all the while en tearing words of em mrage ( ment, never letting her guess how her own face grew pah-and lu-r heart stood still at the sight of the danger which gathered faster and fa.-r<r so near them. Again site ran to the boat, and this time, with dripping feet i moored it the door. "Now, mamma -quick!" Pearl could never tell how she got her in. When it was a'-i mphshed. slit* brought a few of the more valuable articles in the house and placed them Is-side in-r. Hefore all this was done site per ceived with increased alarm the vio lence with which the long-imprisoned waters bore down upon them. They te at angrily against the house, and re dout list her anxiety to get away from it. Hut at the last moment she ol>- servc-1 how the toat rocked and tossed, and tho Idea suddenly flashed upon her that her mother would lie safer if she herself remained behind. "Mamma, I'm going to stay here while you go in the boat. When you get below the bend they will see you and get you. Tell papa to come for j me. Tell him I took rare of you; and don't be frightened, yon dear, dear mamma!" she gave Iter one long em brace, untied and threw in the ro|w\ and carefully stepped l>a<-k to the up per step of the door. Her mother hail not guessed her intention till the cur rent was carrying them far apart. She half arose with a scream of dismay. "Oh. I'carl! niv Pearl! come to me! I shall die without you! And what will become of you ?" She caiight'ono glimpse of the brave little white fnee smiling at tier, as the child called cheerily after her: "Mon't le frightened, darling. I'll come to you just as soon a* I can. tiod will take care of you." And then tho rushing waters shut out every other sound. In her alarm and despair the mother could have flung herself from the lioat. How tender the little fare was, and how smnll the ehildish figure, a* it stood there for tho Inst word of en couragement to her! Pearl's face I, grew paler as the timbers of the old tr house groaned und creaked. Her lit is tie white kitten came mewing piteously y to her feet, and she took it in her arms, g while she hastily took a bundle of pa ■r pels front her father's desk. Then she It walked through water ankle-deep to It reach the stairs to tho half-story above, d and she climbed them wondering il I- the water would come to her there be g fore papa came. Ho btid gone some distance inland, but she knew be 11 would come for her as soon as he could, i- What a wild waste of waters she looked out upon ! She saw barns, o sheds, sometimes a house, sweeping I; down the river. Bho saw their own ', barn swing out into the current and > t float away. She could hear the watei 0 rushing through tho doors and win dows below, ami wondered how soon v the house would break away, and fol | low those she hod seen going down the 3 i stream. 1 \ "I must hang out mv golden flag, so i papa will see me." Pearl unbraided , ; In-r bright hair, and looked wistfully . : out. s Hut the weary afternoon wore away, r and night came with its gloom and its I chill. Poor little Pearl's courage ill* I most failed in the darkness. Bhe sol* ■ bed pitifully for papa everything seemed so much more terrible than when it was light—then knelt down anil said Iter prayers, asking first that 1 m.noma might I•• cared for, then her ' -elf, and, feeling comforted in the full faith that toil would remember tin in !

All I can tell about it is that the gnat excitement and some very serious thinking had worked a wonderful hange in Pearl's mother.
