A Tale or ax Suaxran F i * Mabel, I love you! : ; Leaning from my saddle the word: had searcely left my Nips when the girl any at my side ) scund of the distant baying of hounds caught my ear. It was the first hunt of the season, and I knew Mabel would soon join the hounds. I listened again. The whole pack was in full bay ; they had jumped a deer, and their excited yelpswere growing rapidly fainter, A horseman passed me and sped through the woods. I followed, We passed the negro quarters, "a broad cotton field was left in the rear, and the rice fields spread out from the forest to the river, Away off on the bank, so far distant that I could barely hear them, the hounds were stretched for half a wile. Ahead of them an antiered monarch skimmed along. Taking one of the narrow canal banks I spurred wy horse on, but I was too far behind. The deer and the hounds disappear- ed Lehind the trees, There was no sound to guide me, and in vain I fol lowed in the direction I had last seen them. Unfamiliar with the roads, I halted on the banks of the broad San: tee. The yellow water flowed by in edging currents. Wherever I turned I saw the ruin of better days. As far as the eye could reach not a field was under cultivation, Not a house or home arose from the monotonous level to break the dreariness of the scene, I turned my horse toward Edgefield determining to follow the river bank until I came withiu sight of my host's wunsion on the other side of the river. I could easily call the ferryman and get over before the others returned eens froin thie hing. But 1 hind culated the distance I had traveled, and after several hours of picking my way along the dilapidated bank that had once formed a wall between the river and the rice field, but which was vow broken in a hundred places, 1 began to realize that it would be night- fall before I arrived at Edgefield. Still I struggled on, and it seemed to me that at every break in the bank the water in the gulch was deeper. At first it baiely covered my horse's hoofs, but it soon came to his belly, and once it almost carried him off his feet, so swift was the current. Ax we mounted the high bank I realized for the first time how awift the water flowed below. It seemed, too, as if the banks wére crumbling away in places. I rode on fora few I could see that the cur- rent was constintly growing more rapid. I thought of the rains up the country of which Colonel Hazard had spoken, and the freshet the planters expected within a day or two. Could moments, come down on them unawares? I glanced ahead at the faraway chimneys of Hazard Hall, and then at the long stretch of narrow bank with its num- erous Lreaks, through which the water now flowed in torrents. I spurred my horse toward a place ahead, {where the bank spread out a hundred feet or more, and from which point I knew a narrow foot bank led to the main land. We had almost ttle hummock, with i a rumbling murmur behind me. Fai up the river a wave, nearly three fee of the river and rushed toward me, wood, which it tossed wildly about. light, and it was some time before I turned my fascinated, frightened gaze from the oncoming 2 When 1 did it was to see that an immense ne | breach had opened in the bank between myself and the clearing.

A greut The were aweet and plensant to the taste, but soon caused o drowsy scnsa- tion. I sat down opposite to Prince, and as night drew on and the air grew chill, I went out and collected enough brush to start a fire. The river was atill turbulent. Great blocks of earth had been washed from the other end of onr little island, growing smaller. Under the cheerful rays of the fire Prince seemed to brighten up. "It's freshetin',' I heard him mutter two or three times. "Yes; its fresheting,' I said. The words seemed to arouse Prince's dor- mant powers, for he half rose from his seat, 4 Marse Steny 'll come,' ex- claimed the aged darkey, as he raised his trerobling arms in prayer. 'He allus use ter come ober here to watch * said Prince, looking me n the eyes." Every trace of seemed to vanish. His mind again but it was husy with of half a century ago.

There was no sound in the darkness without but that of the rushing river, which was now boiling and surging around the little island, almost all of which bad been washed away Lut the little plot on which the cabin stood As I stepped to the door a cold spray dashed into my face. It was the water of the river. A few more min utes and Prince's «cabin would be borne away on the tide. I turned to see if there was any means of escape. Prince was behind me pointing in the durkuess up the river. ¢ Dey [is cumin' for Prince! Dey is cumin', he shouted. Then stretching out both arms, he siood with the water splashing about his feet, awaiting the coming of his master, Awed by his strange demeanor I followed his glassy gaze. For a mo- ment I forgot the flood and wy danger, for there ontlined in the darkness was was a white robed form in a light boat approaching. It came rapidly towards us, i hos 'I have come for yon, Prince, shouted a silvery, girlish voice, ¢ Ise ready, Missie. Grace,' came in stentorian tones from the lips of the aged negro, Then straightening his veut form he took a step back, and as the skiff swept in thé current, struck the little clod of land before the eabin door, a light figure in white stepped out. Quick, Prince, comé with me,' came a voice that thrilled me through, But Prince answered never a word. Stiff and stark his body lay on the cabin floor. He had already joined his master and mistress. A As Mabel and I were whirled out into the stream the old log cabin top- pled over and fell. . 1 stopped plymg the paddle long enough tosay: 'We met at Prince's Well!
