From one oftht e»tern' colleges had

with all the gorgeous treasures of dead comnM n

One day in Felsruary as the aun was
beginning to emit away the sno.w in li t
tle pntchel, the master, as usual, safe st
his desk and began calling the roll.
F’une after u.me was rvspondeii to, un
til lie came to thst of Lola Dan forth.
“Herr,” was answered In a clear voice.
“Robert Danforth ?’’
Tliere was no response, and lie glanc
ed over to tlm corner where bent a little
dark fare over her book.
“Where Is your brother, Lola?” and
receiving no response lie continued:
“Playing truant, as usual I presume,
which Is nn s of the vices one is com (lull
ed to thresh out of a fellow
The face was lifted from the t>ook
burning red, while the great Hashing
black eyes were fastened upon the fare
of the master as lie tinishod the roll-call
and took up the lessons.
Presently a lank, red-headed, wttery-
eyed youth slunk into the school room
and hi* usual seat. But de did not ac
complish it so slyly as to escape the
watchful eyes of tile master, who com
manded him to oome forth and give an
areouut of himselt.
The ]mor, half-witted youth could only
reply by sniveling excuses. They were
not iu the least respected by Leslie, who,
taking a stout birch roil from its plate
on the wall was about to administer
piiiiishnieiil, when he was suddenly con
fronted by tile dark and wrathful lace of
Lola, who exclaimed with almost hiss
ing utterance:
“You must not strike Rob. Indued,
you must not.”
“Go to yonr seat,” commanded the
master.
Ho raised the rod and the heavy blow
dustrondtai, lint not npou the thinly clad
form of the boy. It fell upon the pretty,
round, plum)) shoulders of Lola, for at
the downward stroke of the whip she
had encircled her brother with her arms.
Uer eye* were flashing through leant
tlie blow lmd deepened the scarlet on her
cheek* and lips, and the quiotly con
fronted tlie-chagriued teacher, who ex
claimed :
“Will you go to your.seat, Lola, and
leave this boy to the well-merited pun
ishment ? Or, since your heart is tender
to witness it, you may go home.”
“Sever!" answered the girl, fiercely.
“I tell you he shall not be whipped.”
Then, as if fearing bit greater strength,
she continued pleadingly: “Oh, sir, do
not punish him! He is not just right, yon
know, and when mother died the told
me to always care for aud protect hj no.
Thelmier portion of her speech was
uttered through sobs, and after a pause
site resumed:
“I sent hint for something, and dear
Robbie could never guess at the time,
so 1 am the only one to blame.”
Again she lifted those wonderful
midnight eyes, with their long, dark
tear-gemmed lashes to the Unshed and
piixxlcd face above her. The voice of
the master was husky os he gave them
both jiemiission to go to their seats;
and when the duties of the day were
over, ttie scholars gone home, and he
was lingering at his desk over a difficult
problem, the door opened and disclosed
the face of Lola Danfoith.
In her arms she carried a mass of
ground pine, intermixed with the sweet
scented blossoms of the trailing arbutus,
aud walking directly up to the desk of
the master, she laid a portion of her
treasure upon it, and said:
“It was for these ltobby was late, to
day, sir. I said I wished for them so
much, and—and he thought he' had
plenty of timo to get them where the
snow had melted off. But he went too
far aud got to dreaming, as he does
when ho is alone, and so you see it was I
who was to blame, for 1 should not have:

“ Y'ou are a very brave little girl, and
1 greatly admire the fidelity to the trust
imposed upon you by your dead moth
er. Still I ought to do something to.

loitering on the way to school,' ’ was the
aaswar.
“Yes, 1 know, air, but you must never
strike him.”
“And what would you do,.UUIekn-

“I must go for help," said Leslie,
tenderly raising her up. “He is be;
s getting strong enough to work, I pre
sume she will soon have to go out to ser
vice, though her foster parents will be
loth to give her up. They look upon
her as their own, and the kind people of
the village help them to clothe the poor
little things.”
The heart of the master echoed the
sigh of his landlady, anil that night his
dreams were ail of the little dark face in
widen was blended tenderness and defi
ant anger. But at last he was awakened
by a confusion of sounds, and liecame
aware that the predicted thaw had
oouie, and sent a thousand little rivulets
down the mountain side to hurst the icy
fetters and swell Glen Elder creek to a
mighty turbulent flood.
Hastily dressing and going out of doors
he found the village flooded, and the
house he called home, in danger of be
ing swept away.
“To the hills!” came a shout, and
the answering echoes took it up, and re
peated again and ngnin “To the hills!”
With the cry the half-dressed and af
frighted inhabitants rushed, fighting
their way out of the roaring waters,
some upon rafts, somo in boats. And
presently Leslie saw a beacon light flash
out upon the hillside where the sc 100I-
liouse stood In safety. Toward it the
alarmed people directed their steps,
dragging with them whatever of food or
'oinforts they had managed to secure.
After assisting Mrs. Lane and her
family iu flight and securing his own
valuables, tlie young master turned his
attention to his own safety, hut only* to
find that the flood had widened, and
shut out all of the valley leading to the
iieacon of safety—the only way to it was
along a dangerous cliff, and which, after
a toilsome journey, would bring hiiri'to
tlie school house, from the other side of
vning as he
daflhasMs
ig was
plished- tha most
parts of Ids task, and he paused to rest
and glance hack upon tlie scene of awful
destruction. Everywhere ran little
muddy rills from snowy heights to joip
the madly rushing torrent of water
which tore through tlie oarrrow gorge
below and bearing on its foaming bos
om all that opposed its way. Huge
boulders, logs, and uprooted trees, all
went down together, In the boiling vor
tex, until it reached the broader valley,
and then became a lake of teething
foam as it engulfed the little village.
.As. he stood thus lb the chill, gray
morning, both awed and fascinated by
the scene, his'ears were startled by a
peculiar, prolonged cry like that of some
suffeking bird. ■ It came from the other
side of a jutting cliff, where lay his path
and swelled oat even above the roaring
of the waters below. Then, and almost
instantly, It changed to the warbliog
notes of a bluebird’s song; then again
to that of the wood thrush, and the bat
bird, and ended in the low, plaintiff cry
of . the whip-poor-will. Amazed be
stood an questioned. Could some poor
storm-beaten, escaped mocking-bird be
stranded in an evergreen thicket and
tints titter Its plaint?
With the thought, he hastened around

nite surprise, Lola Danforth, clinging to
a tree that swayed in dangerous proxim

upon her shoulders, her thick raven

At that instant, again the bird's song
was repeated in wonderful variety, and
could only come from the scarlet lips of
the young girt. “Lola,” he exclaimed,

A bunch of her favorite early blossoms
compauieil the note, and as be gased
pton them the teacher murmured:
“ Poor innocent child, love has no
meaning for her save that which grati
tude dictates.”
Then he placed the letter and flowers
next his heart, and went forth to take up
life again with a new burden and bro
ken hope.
Four years later, one evening, a party
of gentlemen were stnndlug in the lobby
of a theatre in a southern city. Sud
denly a song, clear and soft, cau\e out to
them; then sank as the dying breath of
k zephyr, gently mingled with the musi
cal chirp of some waking bird in a far
away thicket; then all of the woodland
warbles gathered to take up the song and
pour it out in a wonderful melody, and
with it came the cry of the whip-poor-
will Leslie had heard years before ■ in
Glen Elder.
With a rapidly beating heart and
misty -yes he forced bis way in witli the
crowd, to see standing before the foot
lights a tali, sylpli-like form clad in
shimmering white, while upon the soft
pink arm- and about the lovely throat
sparkled diamonds.
The beautiful dark, half Spanish face,
the olive elleeks, witli the tint of the
pomegranate, he could not be mistaken
in., and Leslie kuew that before him
stood Lola, H»c- sqng-bird ol Glen Elder.
Hastily penning a note and placing
therein tile withered spray of arbutus
lie found s messenger and dispatched it
to thg green room.
Presently the girt appeared again, and
tot ki* Mftlkremem(**»«• of otiieir days
rested above her beating heart, and as
she glanced np their eyes met, and he
noticed Ike glitter of tear drops upon the
long lashes,

When the open was finished he
found his way to the hotel where Lola
was staying, and when admitted to her
presence she stood before him with eager
eyes and rosy face, while he bent over
her breathing Into her willing ears a tor
rent of words that told of bis mighty
love. . t .
For reply she took from her bosom and
kissed the faded flowess. Then lifted a
smiling .and dtefily blushing face, and
said: “Lovely Glen Elder! In all my
wanderings 1 have never found anything
