the waves washed clean ovah me. Ah
noticed with momentary surprise the
salty taste of the watah, then Ah re

Ah placed mah hand on somethin' hard

worked mah way carefully erlong. still

moved on erhead ez though they wnz
glad to be driven. Ah kivered a mile er
mo' in this way en could see the old
pecan tree on the Dupree plantation
.mn en tocsin m the storm, but
the house wuz gone. Lookin' up the
levy agin, Ah saw Edward standin'
recklessly en wavin' his arms frantic

en hollered at the top nf mnh voice to
Edward, but coulden' get hisattentlon.
Ah saw him strip ,,1V his coat en plunge
into the ragin' sen during a brief lull
in the sto'm. Ah hurried on ez fas' ez
Ah dared. Two er three times It looked
ez (hough he would be beaten back agin
the levy or thrown clar over into the
runnin' rivah beyond. He swam mns'lv
below the surface with a wonderful
en peculiar stroke. Ah could see him
only Ht intervals ez he rose on the cre st
uf a wave en Ah thought uf mnh words
to Genie: 'Yo'r Yankee hes no sich
love ez mine fo" yo' Genie,' ez Ah saw
him gallantly buffet the waves. Genie
wniz motionless, en Ah knew that she
was prayin' fo' Edward,
"He had kivered half or mo' uf the
distance when the sky became sudden
ly black en the sto'm came on full fo'ce
agin. The win' heel whipped eroun' to
the no'thwest en came on fiercer then
evah. Ah dared not st.m' ereck en
crouched nirin on the levy. Ah could
pee the peach tree bend In' befo' the
sto'm till itsi branches whipped the
surgin' sen into madder fury. A gri'at
wave swep' ovah me en Ah fell flat agin
on the levy. Ah caught n palmetto
root nnd clung fo' life. At times Ah
wuz completely submerged fo' several
seconds till the wind, veering mo' en
mo', finally came direck f'm the no'th.
sweeping the watah south to the gulf
with such fo'ce thet the levy seemed
the dividin' line between two rivahs
racing each othah to the sen. Aft ah
an hour or mo' the watah began to
lower till the top of the levy was well
above the tide. Ez soon ez the heavens
el'ared Ah looked gin to the pecan
tree. The' was but two figures thar.
Genie wuz gone en the swimmer wuz
nowhnr to be seen. The nex' day the
relief boats steamed down the rivah
f'm New Orleans. They wanted to take
us away, but we coulden' hev left thar
ef we hed tried. They lef us a little
bacon en cohn meal en blankets, en
ez soon as the sto'm subsided enuff we
wnz ready to take up one search.
"Ole man Dupre said Genie hed been
the life en hope uf them all till thet
ls" bias" when she seen her lover go
down, en then the ole man diden" know
what happened. He looked eroun' en
she wan' thar nor could anything be
seen uf her on the waves about. She
mus hev just drapped en giv up en
tirely. The ole man en Ah went to
gethah, en fah down country nmong
some cypress trees we fouu' all thet
they wuz lef uf Genie, en not much
further we foun' Edward en in his
clinched hand we found a miniature of
Genie. The scar on his cheek where
Ah struck him the day with the ridin'
whip stood clar en distink. en Ah al
ways stop en think uf thet soar now
whenevah Ah feel inclined to be hasty.
It saves me-ez the scars sustained on
Calvary saved many another poo' hu
man. Ah foun' no trace uf mah paw er
mah maw nor uf ery others thet went
down in the early hours uf thet sto'm.
"The ole gentleman en Ah sold our
plantation en bought a little strip uf

The Golf Gin
Is the type of the modern woman at tier
healthiest and best. She walks with an
easy grace. She is a picture of perfect
womanhood in the springtime of life.
But generally the golf club is laid aside
with marriage. A physical languor op
presses tne once
athletic girl. Ex
ercise makes her
back ache. She
tires easily. Usually
she accepts this con
dition as a natural
thing, but it is un
natural. Marriage
should add to wom
an's happiness, rath
er than subtract
from it. If women
understood how in
timately the general
health is related to
the local health of
the womanly organs,
they would appreci
ate the fact that
there is no need to
suficr from weak
ness and backache.
