They were on thoir way tip the Mis sissippi river—the mother, Fannie and the twins, i throw in the younger chil dren in a bunch, as it were, because it takes too long to say Sue and Lou. They were spoken of as the twins by every one, and every one snew them. Their personality was particularly fa miliar to Fannie’s would be suitors, for they wore always upon the spot just at a moment otherwise opportune for mat rimonial proposals. Fannie was not a marrying girl, and she used to say that no one but herself realized how ranch in the way of relief she owed to those blessed twins. The suitors also were wont to bless the twins, but in a some what different spirit. One of these suit ors was on the boat that very day, and he bad Fanuio “cribbed and oonlined, ” as it wore, in ono corner cf a deserted quarter cf the deck. The twins were out of range for once, and he thought he was making good headway. But real ly in her heart Fannie was despising him for a fop. His immaculate clothes eame first, she thought; his viands next, probably, and, lastly, with what little was left of him, his character. That particular day ho walked up bis avenue of approach undisturbed by bark of dog or remark of twin. Ha was nearer tho delectable mountains than ever before, he realized, ami his hoart thumped madly against the irreproach able waistcoat ns he opened bis mouth to ask the decisive question. Just at that moment a shrill scream pierced tho sultry July air. Then a hur rying and scurrying of feet was hoard. Instantly a ray of knowledge flashed its way into Fannie’s brain. “One p' the twins is overboard I” she said to her self as she sped down the near stairs and along the lower deck. Just as she reached the bow of the boat she saw a little skirt drawn in by tho suction of the water between the barge (on which most of tho excursion ists were embarked) and the boat that drew it. Another moment and the same little skirt, and a child's face, half hid den in her long, wet hair, was borne by the swift waters out and down the river. Leu had fallen overboard. There was chaos for a time. Every body was running to see. Someone clung to the mother, who wanted to leap after her child. Little Sue was wailing and Fannie wringing her bauds and thinking how this would never have happened bad she not been engaged by that hateful dude. From the pilothouse two men leaned and watched tho child—the pilot and a sort of iong legged “handy Andy,” known on board as Spider. “Why don’t you save her, Spider?” said the pilot. “Jump in, man. What's the use of your swimming prizes if you can’t save a kid now and then?” It hadn’t occurred to Spider before, but at the word of command he leaped from the pilothouse down into tho wa ter and struck out after tho dark spot that was quite distant now. “He’s too late. He can't catch her,” said a passenger. “Oh, get out!” said the captain. “That cuss could overtake the boat that started yesterday and beat her to Now Orleans. ” The man so disrespectfully alluded to was well along on his way when the crowd of passengers, who were straining their eyes down tho river, saw the dark something on the surface of the water sink. The mother uttered a cry and was borne half fainting into the nearest cabin. Fannie’s face was white and strained, but she said not a word. The dude stood near her as silent and almost as white as she. Indeed there was no noise on board just then save the sound of little Sue's sobs. Tho speck—it had becomo a speck— rose again, but Spider was still at a distance. He was nearer now, but it had sunk once more. Again it rose—if only he could get there in time! But what seemed to tho watchers a waste of waters separated him from that little floating frock. Tho captain had his fieldglass oat cow, and ho silently passed it around. Spider was nearing the child, but before ho could reach her she sunk for the last time. Down he went, and I think that hardly n breath was drawn until he rose—without herl “O God!” wailed Fannie. The dude put his arm around her or she would have fallen. “Don’t leave her!” shouted the cap tain through his speaking trumpet. “Don’t turn back! Get her! Get her!” But Spider was swimming for the nearest point on shore. With one accord the passengers—a!! but the fow who staid with the mother —rushed from the boat, which was moored just there. Down the bank of the river they ran till they stood oppo site the struggling swimmer. He was having a hard fight to get ashore. Evi dently he was badly spent. They could understand thou why ho gave up his search. Ho was oblige rt to get to sliors or to abandon himself as well as the ohild. The passengers b*d felt angry with him—especially those who had done least—for turning back it I one, but when they realized his condition they became anxious lest the swift current should claim him too. Slowly ho worked his way along un til he neared the shore; then a strong band laid hold of him, for the dude had waded out up to his very neck aud was bringing the exhausted swimmer in. Two or three other men laid hold when be got to shore aud helped drag him out of the water. He was powerless to help himself. “What a pity ho had to turn back!” said one. “He couldn’t help it,” said another. “The poor chap's half dead himself.” "Great heavens I” shouted u stout man. “He’s got her I” Sore enough, there, held between his knees, with a deathliko grip, was a lit tle fignro shrouded in wet calico and long wet hair. You’d have thought the people had gono mad if yon hail heard them. Tho dude was working over Spider and oneering and yelling no lie worked; Fannie was on her knees, and the twin ran back and forth, from Spider to the other twin, who was standing on her head, while they slapped and pumped her without mercy. There was nothing equal to the en during quality of these twins. You couldu't kill one of them. That day, even before Spider c:uuc to himself, Lou was on her feet again, walking back to tho boat, escorted by an immense body guard of rejoicing people. The- next thing on tho programme was to reward Spider. As ho wouldn't touch a cent of money that was a diffi cult matter. After some inquiry Mrs. Trencher learned that although of good family and well educated Spider whs by nature and habit a wanderer. She and her family were about to go out to Colo rado for a trip, and in lieu of anything better offered tho man the chance of go ing with them. Somewhat to her sur prise he joyfully accepted, and ere long they and he wero under way On their return from tho mountains he petitioned to come with them, promising to cook or do anything else that was useful, and nil for a small wage if only they would keep him with them. “Why, Spider," said Mrs. Trencher, "a young man liko ye i, horn aud edu cated for something letter, ought not to fill such a position.” “If I didn’t, I’d be in a worse ono. It’s ir> me to go down, not up. I’vo led a straighter life with you folks than I ever knew before.” The upshot of it all was that for ton years Spider was.one.cf tho family—an invaluable member, too—cook, house keeper, laundress, caterer, secretary, nurse —everything. He had plenty to do jnst now, for a family wedding was on foot. Suo was still scraggy, but Lou had blossomed into a lovely, rounded out, softly tinted girl, aud some cna had discovered this, a3 men will, and mado love to her, aud she had made love back. They were to be married tonight, aud Spider was get ting ready for it all. Fannie was help ing on every side. She was Mrs. Dude now and was remarkably fastidious about her dress, as became one of that namo. The.wedding was a simplo home af fair. The family warjted Spider to come in and sit with them, hut he refused. Ho acted strangely that day anyhow, but no doubt be was tired. It was all over—that is, the knot was tied, and the froth faced girl was look ing up into the eyes of her husband with tho lovelight which links this world to heaven. All were chatting and laughing aud congratulating the young couple—all but a man who stood in the shadow of the doorway, locking from his grimy hands to the smooth, fair ex terior cf the happy lover. Nobody noticed him—there was too much going on—anil ho stood there, tho toars chasing each other down his face and every now and then a great sob convulsing his sfcroag chest. When at last tho family remembered and ran out to find him and fetch him in, he was gone. They tell about him today—how faithful he was, bdw constant in his care of Lou, how watchful and devoted —and they wonder where he is and why ho left them.—Elizabeth Strong in Chi cago Record. A Providential Escape. In “Manitoba Memories” Rev. George Young relates an experience of his boyhood which, ho says, formed tho turning point in hia career and led him eventually to chooso tho life of a mis sionary in the north land. Early one stormy meriting when I was a boy, says Mr. Young, I was feed ing the cattle iu the basement of a sta ble when a terrific windstorm struck the building and crushed it liko an egg shell. Hearing the crash of the falling and breaking timbers, I fell on my knees iu terror and began to pray. In a moment, as it seemed, the storm passed and stillness prevailed. I was completely encompassed by the broken timbers aod the mows of hay and grain which had been stored iu the upper part of the barn. I was in utter darkness, too, and at first completely dazed. Find ing mysclt unharmed, however, I recov ered my senses and began to dig into the hay to escape. After a long struggle I worked myself free from the hay and stood in the midst of the wreck. It was afterward ascertained how narrowly I bad escaped being crushed to death by the falling timbers. Had I been standing it the moment I must have been killed Tho space wherein I had knelt was aiovtt a yard square and the only plestMkfcero I could have es caped iustkut death. Much fas made cf my remarkable escape, which I have always regarded as a direct interposition of Providenoe, end iu consequence I have devoted my lifo to tlte Master’s service. rJILs * Pellets Cure all forms of disease caused by a Sluggish Liver and Biliousness.
