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: said 1 wanted the flowers.” “ 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. cure your brother of the bad habit of 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- pertinence, should I sometimes deem it necessary?"

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 tho p int, and beheld there, 'to his infi nite surprise, Lola Danforth, clinging to a tree that swayed in dangerous proxim ity atanreayswnipg precipice.. A fad ed scarlet hoodled mantle huiig loosely upon her shoulders, her thick raven the wind. 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, Teaching out and pulling her back from her dangerous position, "what Is the matte;? JYq you not know that all jvho can have bought -shelter In the acHool- house? Come with roe. Every step is dangerous, and you will only be safe there.” f .0 .H .}/ ] “My brother, gasped she, struggling away impetuously. “They told me he had wnim to the Ichnot-ftmi^, fajg not tliere, trad I came baok to seek him.” “And it was to him you were sending Clinging to him and weeping as if her heart would break, he bore her up td the vHftfcfck who tended, comforted, and did all in their power for her, and when •t last the 4pmd had subsided they pf»c- the poor Mr'hjr|he tide ef his In in thefhurctgrard, and afterward ,thefe came a stranger who claimed Lola to take her away to a foreign home. AlftMthl 1 ! jn ^ Buis school- house on the hillside, the young master SSt facing tlie foot that the little dark- eyed tbla bad taken ptthbe r his whole heart. On his desk lay a ilule note ol thanks which said:, 1 J “ God bles# yon, dear Mr. Leslie, for g your llle tO t bring me my dear brother.,'I shall ever love and, far yen. Good-bye. ^ ■" 1 V * .ttilAfl. ' 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, 'Aytiiatftlibliiesn his messenger returti- uded him ' a card. He arose a* too happy to remain quiet, and so walked out- beneath .tlie 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!
