In that ..ar of wa- ters which was already about his JS walst, and seemed to be climbing to his ears, he could hear nothing from the shore which he had left, and If ny had done so, he had sense enough ta know that it would have been mo1l dangerous to try to turn back than go on. > " - Jim saw ead himself, as the words left his lips, but it is the fashion of human beings in dire straits to cry for the impose' And Jim was in a worge strair than thy doctor.

With a curse he swung himself into the saddle, and wrenching the roaa's head round viciously, he galloped up stream for fifty yards, over a chaos of slippery boulders Then he turned his horse's head to- wards the river, and drove his spurs home, but though the colt's spirit vas broken by bitter hard work, his ir stinet recoiled from this new peril, and he rose fighting and pawing the air on the very edge of the flood It was in vain. The man's blood vas up and the ted boulders gave the beast no foot With a two went into the river, its side, whilst the man, of his mount, disappeared down stream of him Twice the beast was turned over the flood, and for a few moments water swept over the man. but hf either had bcen drifted 10 the of Protheroe, Jim had regained horse's head, and twisting the fing of one hand in the beast's long 1 " swam steadily on the down stream side of it Once he had his head above water, the colt swam superbiy driving against the current with all the ene: gy of young life battling against death, 80 that before they had half cross d from shore to shore, Combe and Is horse were level with Protheroe, ard making some sort of a breakwater fog him. But it was not enough. The was still in the saddle, and ( could see the pinto's head lower and lower. If the doctor where he was, the horse embar by his weight, must drown spite of his efforts Combe od make his voice heard in that swir waters. On the bank, ihe noise wa the indistinct roar of a mob, bui mid-stream each voice became disti individual and hostile. He heard the waves roaring at. hi he could feel the undercurrents pull separately at him, he knew what wanted, and the fury, and the nwa of them daunted him. Hig only chance was to eling horse: his only hope of saving I'ri eroe seemed to be to let go, 1 possible, drag doctor out of saddle But at the last moment Prothe seemed to realize what was requ of him, and slid out of the saddle, hold ing on to his horse's mane, and swim ming as Jim swam. By this time both horses had drifted below the level of the ferry. which was now crowding with men, gesticulat and apparently shouting to the two CC rash the the horse on thrown cicar some ! t doc or 'on be 0 the oe ug in among the lantern bearers having got the ferry out towards midstream, > endeavoring to let a rope down to wards the doctor.

Luckily for the swimmers there was even less ice in the river than there had been in the morning when Combe crossed it. The frost had not held in the upper country through which flow the tributaries that supply the Fraser with its first run of ice, but there was enough of it to add to their difficulties. Suddenly the light of Soda Creek went out altogether, and the dancing lanterns on the ferry disappeared, and at the same time a new sound struck upon ir ears, a dull, grinding noise, which w louder and more distinct with eyery second that passed. The¥ had drifted past a bend in the river, and at the next, to which they he cast the Tn the dark against the irresistible wa- ters, with life and safety so near at band, was bitter to bear, and at the very climax of it Jim's horse gave in and turned its head down stream. In a moment they were sacing to wards their death" After all that long stubborn fight against the stream, with the shore almost witisn reach, the fallure of the roan's courage had ruined them. If he had been alone it is possible that Combe would have given {n then and drifted down quletly to his death, rather than fight longer against the inevitable, but the sight of the other man still struggling. and ob viously spent, roused him to one wore effort, It was useiess to shout to the horse, but with his free hand he managed to strike it In the face, and drag its head almost under with tho other, until In despair the beast turned up stream again. But it wae too late. Jim knew it, for he could hear the ice teeth gnashing almost at his hee's, and he ouly struck cut stiil from a stubborn determination to fight to the last inch His reward exceeded Lis hopes. Slpce he plunged into the Fraser it had seemed to Combs that he and his horse by Immense efforts had just managed to remaln station upon a plane of sliding water which carried them towards the ice pack, but now for the first time the lous lean hcad which had bored down ypon him, push ing (him always nearer and nearer to eternity, began to forge ahéad. 1 was no doubt of it, They had reached the eddy the shore; the bigdoulders ! grew clearer, and the 1 tom.

The one thing necessary was that Frank Anstruther should be kept quiet, Any movement caused him excruciat ing pain, and was likely to disarrange the imperf bandages in which bis body was swathed, and though he took his punishment with IPs. never complaining of the pain, he was a bad patient, restless under restraint, and excitable to the last degree It was only as long as Kitty was in the room that they could keep him still, As Ioug as she was inshis sight he would lie hour after hour without stirring, only the eyes in his white face alive, and those so followed every turn of the girl's pretty head, that they frightened her She began to feel that those burning eyes could see through her into he heart, and for that she was by <no meang ready vet.

"Kitty, make Mr. Anstruther take this, and don't let him worry about Jim. Jim is quite able to take care of himself.' Jim's best friend was his worst ad vocate. It was just that ability to jake care of himse!f which told against him with the wo n he loved; just the helplessness and dependence of struther which appealed to Kitty It almost seemed as if the quiet of the sick room had leaked through the whole ranch, but nature itself.

"You go find Missy Rolt; me plenty busy cook hin grub.' Kitty look=d at Anstruther.

"Poor old soul: what a day for her to come," 'was Mary Rolt's greeting of the message. "Just the sort of day to make one want more clothes, dear. Have you anything to give her?" asked Rolf.
