door as she was enjoying the beauti ful scene before her suddenly her ear caught a strange sound what is all that notse she wondered from the direction of the river flooded in moon light- it came a curious rumble the night operator felt her cheeks whiten with fear as she remembered the pro phecy of the old shepherd who had been watching the snows of the mountain he had predicted that there was danger of tihe swollen river flooding the sur rounding country and he had recounted to mary the story of the spring when everything had been swept away surely there is great danger tonight exclaim ed the startled night operator i must warn every one living along the shores of the river she ran back to the switch board and seizing the telephone book searched out the names of subscribers whose homes might be endangered then trembling with excitement she flung herself into the task of warning and arousing the neighborhood as she plugged fever ishly crying out the terrifying news she could hear the
