' *, • That sho was a spoiled dud potted hoquty, every one in the village know; and that she was as willful and capri­ cious and exacting, as she was-brightnnd pretty and bewitching, overyone knew as well. The only child of tho wealthy. mill-owner,'from her very infancy iu-’ dulged in her qvory wish and fawned upon by admiring friends,' it was UP wonder thnt she wasVwhen shb chose to be, a most tyrannical specimen of young- womanhood. ' Shq had'ohoson to bo "such tho after­ noon sho met Richard .Holmes, her fa­ ther's book-keeper, on tho street, and wed him to turn and walk beside AWX. It was raining, and she graciously v '^ed her own-elegant little umhrolla to share tho larger ono l,e carried. They had gone on togothor enjoying ' the rain, laughing and cliatting gayly, gossiping in their light way about this ■andthat happening in tho social life of tho village, ■ Perhaps ho had chosen an Inpusplt clous moment to declare his lovo and oiler her his hand, but, inauspicious or uot> -ho had spoken and received his ■ answer. • • - . ' They had exchanged a-few hot words and then'parted' in a sudden’ frigidity which seized themboth. Sho had added . such scorn and disdain tober refusal that it was moro than ho.conld bear in silence. She'had oven insinuated to hint *that it was not hersolf ho loved, but tier .father's wealth. Sho had woundted him cruelly and intentionally, and lui had . lefthor suddenly with a cold adiou, wElolse raised hor own umhrdlla with a defiant little laugh', and a qlanco at the' retreating figure, and then turnedhome­ ward humming a fragment of the latest ajic.'a. , ■ Ile/father’s Bookkeeper!

' It grow monotonous and wearisome. Eloise, Wandering aimlessly about the „ drawing-room, looking'over a hookah* •trsc.tedly; Striking a few Chords on the piano; going from window to window to lookout at the falling rain and the dis­ mal landscape, was wretchedly lone­ some and ill at case. Why did not- some ono cornel Even Richard Holmes would ho a welcome caller, If holy to quarrel with. He used to drop in, so often to play a game of chrss ofasten to her music. She wished She hadfjfcat treated him quite so badly the other"day. Why could she not'liava said, as other girls would have said, that she would bo a .sister to Him? It had never occurred to her to say that, ftho wished that she had been less im- kind that day—wished that sho had 1*'* ,*held him off a little longer at leaut—it jlori wed to he so pleasant to have lilm drop In for an hour or two, Tho day was closing in dark end Stormy. Eloise front the window looked St th« swollen river, and fehyspools that stood here and there on the lawn. . Suddenly she stood erect and looked ««gtrly at a well-known figure coming toward the house. . It was Richard HoimM ' , E ? Tiio girl Stood watGhlng his progress oagcrly, as lio picked his way among tho pools of water, her lips parted, her pretty head thrown hack, her dark eyes glad and bright. ■ "1 am glad he is coming," she said, softly to herself,* as she stood surround* 64 by the creamy draperies of the 'win­ dow waiting for him. ‘ ; \ She hoard hils firm step on the piazza. •Shebeard him ring the boll and then speak a fow words to.the iuaid who opened tho door, * . ■ ' Suddenly a groat roar 'filled all the air, drowning the voices in the ‘hall, drowning the silyory ch'imo of tho little Freqcb clock, drowning every thing, swallowing up every thing in its awful volumo of souud. •There -was a terror in it phliko the heaviest crash of thun­ der—a strange and tCrriblo menace in tho sound, swelling* and gathering,and ’growing.louder ovory moment. \* Eloise stood paralyzed with fear. .Sho, was powerless to cry out, to move her- solf; slip coujd Only stand-and listen to that awful, all-porvading roap . She did not think whfct it mighfraean. "Sho had heard Vague rimiors of fears for tho great dam above, hut had not heeded, - " ‘ ' In °a moment it was all over, the sound he'd come .tiipo'n hof in all its awfulhpils. Sho fell back, overpowered with terror,'and became uqconseious. ;A violent biow^on her head roused her to herself. -_Sho found herself' floating on the strong current,, bqrno along-at a sickening speed, uphold by the strength, ,and'.fury of, tho roaring waters'. . , , Near hor she saw the great elm-tree that had stood before .tho house over since sho was a child, .-It_hiust have -beonra-branoh of-that-whieb-atruc4H»er ■and.brought her back to,life. Witb great, dark, eyes dilated with horror, and.a face white and ghastly as the faces’of tho dead, the girl flew*along. She had'caughfchold of the brandies of tho great tree, and Was"clinging with a grasp like death itself. Life -,was sweet —too sweet to lose. ' In her first mo­ ment of consciousness, she had thought of Richard' Holmes, Where could he be? Drowned? O, God™‘forbid.—not ttifmenet f—the thought was dreadful to her. In a flash'she was revealed, to her­ self. ' She loved hitur-loved him with her whole heart-had raved-him all the time,without knowing "it. What had ho come to the door for that night? It seemed ages ago to her^now—to hr.Log a messago of warning? Hor faOiqx—was ho safe? O, heaven, that appalling darkness—thatdrendful roar of rushing waters! .. . - 1 . Sho raised her voice -and' called, "Richard!" It was lost in the roar of. tiio ilood.-She tried again, summoning all her strength, and sending "her clear voice out -over, tho .waters—"Richard! Richard!" ' She.thought she hoard a human voice, faint and'far away—could it ho his? He was near her when-tho flood struck the house; ho might bo somewhere near her now. Sho raised her voice again, and called his natno with a desperation horn of fear and love. A dark object was float­ ing near her, tossing tip and. down on tho resistless current. She could see that it wbh aman, clinging to a mass of boards. The face wtkf. turned from her, but the head looked ’ familiar,' She called again, and tho mnn turnod and looked at'her. - ' "Is It you, Eloise?" ho screamed; and then sho barely heard him — "you, Eloise? Thank God!” v . She breathed a sigh of relief. .She felt safe now—safe, even on^ the bosom of this rushing ocean of fierce waters and crashing dobris—if ho. wore near. • hhe saw that he was trying to get to her, hut could not; that he dared trot loose his hold on tho boards and trust himsolf one Insunt in that mighty cur­ rent, Sho cquldseo his face, white and agonized,' tUcrfed to her—always turned to’ her. Something had struck him,' and cut a gash in his head, and the blood was trickling' down Ute .pallid check; buo could see it' fronj-V/kcvei obc clung in the branches of the elm-tred. Shodid not know that ono beautiful, white arm was bare to the shouldor aud bleeding from a cruel blow she had re- ceiveil—she did not realize the pain fn hor head whore the tree bad'iitruck her —such things were trivial now. Life* was tho only thing to bp thoughfe'of-?-" life—and death—If death* should come, A house came reoling down and struck the mass of •boards to which Richard clung. The shock loosened ids hold and tdss.cd him far out into' the water. The horrible undercurrent sucked him in,and he sank |rom sight. The next moment hisr* wh"ite face showed above the water. Such Jmrror and ‘despair Eloise had never’ seen as she saw there, Ono last appealing look at ller, ono, cry from" her white Ups. and h«f was gone' again." Eloise prayed—prayed as she had never dreamed of praying before; crying aloud for help and pity in this time of neod’> ' • • Richard came to ths surface again— near her this time,. Could sho reach ,him? Only k little nearer—ho was half unconscious and could not help himself. She leaned far out over the dark torrent, holding to the tree firmly with one arm and touched him with her hand—caught him by bis collar, and held his head above the water as they were borne along. Sho Called to him wildly. He heard and understood, ntode one great effort to seize the branches of .the tree, and at last, with an almost superhuman strength, drew himself up into the sheltering arms of the old elm. There he clung with What frail t strength was left him! hut he Was - xk » weak for words. It was no time for speech. Tho scone was- more terrible than any of tho imaginings of Dante. Great masses of timbers, that ,ten min* utes before had .been houses and homes, came rushing by 'with Bhrieking worn* on clinging to them, and little children borrto along upon them. Strong men were tossing like' egg*shelis on the waters,- and horses and cattle were plunging madly for lifo among the ruins of groat barns that came crashing by. Now and then, somo wild shriek or unearthly.‘moan .would moan _the death-cry of a human being going down to. eternal sleep *under the roaring waters. . . ; . /J „ A groat mass of timhovs came tearing along down .the higk.way.of death; with ono blow it 3 ent the elm-tree spinning .far ahead on tho waters, Eloise and .Richard were hurled into.tho air and fell together, clinging to whatever they Could find—a door, a fence—any thing to keep afloat. At "last thoy climbed to .theridge-pole i of a house and clung thore. All night they floated, bruised and cut by heavy objects striking them, almost losing-’ their hold many times, but never quite—tossing, plunging, .fly­ ing with a speed that was torrible. in ’ .the first gray dawn of morning thoy wore rescued, Friendly bands drew them from their perilous position and bore them to a„ place of safety. There they lay for-'days unconscious. The shock had been too great—human endurance had been too sorely tried. Tho -physicians who dressed thoir- wounds and tho nurses who eftpod for them shook their heads gravely over the young strangers given so mercifully into their hands. ‘ ‘ • Richard woke to consciousness first, DISPATCH BOXES.
