Winter wa~- approaching, however, with its heavy rains and chilly nights. ■ ft was a bad job," said Martin one day, gazing -it the slight foundation of hi'" house. "I liadt't-ought fo built so near the canyon. But jjie land was so good f thought I'd save all I could of it for the fiult trees. Tlikt cornea of beiri' too savin'."

I wish we'd got through the rains aii t.afi I guess me an' Jacl.'ll bank up a good bit this week." The first rain bad come—not a very long or eohl one, as would be the case in the winter. .Tack still ijlcpt, in a shed and Mrs. Martin iyas troubled about it, but the tiny house seemed to afford no corner jipt already filled. bu siie *as "obliged to content herself with giving hlra such bedding as she could spare., and with Jack's laughing Qesuranoe: "it's good enongli for let ter folks 'n me." leisura WW emment works going on some miles distant above Mm—a reservoir being built to hold thb overflow of water with a view to storing it for irrigation qf tho lowftr lying laiida. In addition to the promise o* security to his house, it gave opportunity for getting work, of *v!iii'h many of the poorer ranchers were to avail. "I'd rather like you to st#y about v hile I'm goue, Jack," be said, and ihe hoy's heart swelled with pride as he added; "I want you to look after things I'm snre you'll do It good and faithful." Another long rain set In. Every day •lack banked up bis "good and faith ful" bust, but. the canyon slowly filb-d after the ftng summer drought, was each mornlrg dismayed at the inroads made by the water. "Jack." said Mrs. Murtln one morn ing, "I'm get tin' a little uneasy at the way things looks." "I'm feelin' that way myself," agreed Jock, who had just rome In with dis may In his heart from a look at things outside. "I've a great mind to go over to Neighbor Davidson's to ask if they won't let us with 'cm for n feTr dayp, till the next time Martin comes home. I has- to stay without him." "Couldn't I go?" asked Jack "Well, I'd rather ask It myself. Hut T don't ipritc know what to do about Kitty. It's too far to carry her —even. If you went to help mo." "Leave Kitty with me. ."he'll stay all rlfht —won't you, Kitty?" Kitty replied with a crow and a spring Into his outstretched arms. Thus encouraged, Mrs. Murtln soon after brPakfa-st took her departure, saying in anxious tones: "Watch them banks well. Jack. And I know you'll be real good and careful with Kitty. I'll be back early this even ing-" An hour lat?r Jack wished with all hts heart that Kitty was with her tt other, as he went out to resume the constant work of "banking up." At or.ee he saw that a ne\ f condition of things had set In. The house near the canyon stood on a kind of knoll, the ground on the land side of it sinking slightly. The water in the stream was higher that; he had before 'een it, and h- now noted with alarm that af a short distance nbovc the house gome of it had left the main channel, and, turning into the low, shifting sand». h.;d . lit between the house r.nd the bred, leaving 11 on an Island. Toward the close of the day lie saw that the flood hud spread on both :-;fdes <>f the canyon so as to entirely cover the roads which followed the stream. Kitty's mother would have to take a roifndabout toad through the eorrntrv oud could not possibly r'-uch home t'.iut uight Later he saw a furmer passing on the other side of the new channel. The man caught sight ot -k iiid hail d him: "You'd better get out of that." "Why?" shouted Jack. "Works above giving way. Been weakening for the lust 21 hours and lett'ng out the water.

Then 111 carry her wherever her mother is. I can do It, if I stop to rest by the way. Jack worked as he had never worked before. The barn was a rude struc ture, but it required uiore than the strength of u boy easily to get the door of the hinges. He tugged and hammered until quite out of breath, but at length had the pleasure of see ing his frail bark moored as close to the door of the house as he could get it. "I'll move her out onto the porch while 1 fix things," h« decided. "Then, if thiutrs should go sudden, I could grab her."

T FELT like Cortez upon a memorable I occasion when the jeweler's glass door swung behind me, und, marching I up to the counter, I asked far a ring. I "A ring, 6lr?" said the attendant, a ■Cockney to his fingertips. "What sort I of ring?" | "An engagement ring," said I, valor ouely. "What size, sir'?** demanded the man, docketing me mentally. "Five and a half," I replied, thinking of the glove. "That's rather an unusual size," he re marJ ed, ruboing one eyebrow, "uuiess it's o bangle the lady wants.'' "I'm not sure that she wants it nLall," I murmured, producing the little scu dalwood-scer.ted bit of silk; "but that Is the size, I think." "O—lt's the size of the lady'e 'and,** he observed wilh mild toleration, tin rolling it.

The si/£ was ex actly the same; the price—but'that is a detail. I decided upon it. The shop man thawed me perfunctorily, and I leaned against th« counter, feeling like one who had received a KJ£ a t f.-rvo*. But when I fumbled in for tbe notes and heard their crisp crackle, my confidence returned, and then as I watched the splendid in Its violet bed I believed I must after all be a rich man, liufcnotwn to myself, so great was the suggestion of unliiplted we'lth thus conveyed. "I should like a piece ot jjlasson the inside of the ease lid," I observed, care lessly. "I# It usual?" "That's looking glass?" queried the lapidary, g'anclng up from a aurreptl tiou» examination of the notes. 1 nodded. I knew I mti't be getting red. "Well," be remarked tolerantly; "ItV not exactly usual, but it's a pretty idea —'ightens the attraction of the gem, makes the lady eee the present from two points of view."

When I left the shop I headed straight, for Bloomsbury square, but, reuiem-, berlng that sht might be Just then 00-'. supied by domestic duties, decided to rail later in the day. Even the ring; n my pocket guve me »o additional :c>urage, and presently I began to think -t was not quite royal enough. Edging; ny way to Regent'a.park, I hunted out 1 I quiet spot and sat down to examine; it at leisure. It was glorious still, but lomehow not so gloriousaslcould have, aished, und I was actually questioning; Ihe wisdom of my choice when an ap proaching footfall made me olose the taae. It was light, though firm, and the: Everlasting flint would have worn well! fccneath It. Something, more of the, Intellect than of the sense, made in» *ook up, and I saw her. The sensation of being shot through, !he heart has not, I believe, received ad -1 fquate literary expression, those who Ixperiencejt being usually preoccupied ft the exact moment with other mat ters; but I think I know what it means. ' ihti stopped, uud we gazed at each oth ►r. She was In deep black, but the pal lor had gone from her oval cheeks. Hho made me a half-tentative bow*. I sprang lo tuy feet.

I put my haud ii my b;ea*t po< ket hurriedly and extract, J my handker chief. which in tain brought to light a Fheaf of letters and memoranda I shook out at her feet like u skillful conjurer. Then pi tried tM other pocket, bt: vainly. "it's a glove," i *a'd, weakly, gathering up my belongings; "one of yours, don't you know." "I recollect'—l mif-»ed It," 6he said, coldly. "Hut the cab went so quickly," 1 pleaded; "ah, d<> sit down until I find it!" She did so. I wa.- in a gentle per spiration. "Pray do not take so much • rouble,*' sh« murmured, plaintively.
