I EBAVE DEED, Ada Carfit wns decidedly the belle of 8haiborough; a>d, as that small but bustling Midland town had a reputation among itB neighborn for lovely lasses, tbe disti ction ma great one. In figure the girl was somewhat small and Blight; but in eature she had at­ tained i*lmo»t to perfection, both of out­ line and of tint. She had a lofty, well-proportioned tarow, around which rippled rich waves <*f auburn hair. She had eyes of dreamy blue, cheeks jpst sufficient y tinged with delicate car­ mine to throw in4o relief the pearly whiteness of her teeth. The worst of it was, she knew that die WAS beautiful, and the knowledge spoiled her. Ada was the only chi'd of a wealthy Sliarborough manufacturer, and added to her other charais that of being a very considerable heiress. Naturally she had of suitors not a few. But Ladies Clara Ye- e de Yere can exist in much lower circles that that of the poet'a faulty heroine, and Ada Carfit had caught the vice of a proud aoquetry. ^ She re.ished her power over suscepti­ ble hearts, and did her best to extend it. The breath of homage was a life to her. She led her wooers gently on till the toils were all around them, and then, of a sudden, they found an impalpable, impassable l>arrier erected', and Ada's •miles were for newer comers. It was an amusement, hiilf the zest of being, to her; she never wasted an anx­ ious thought on what it might mean to her victims. Men were strong, and most protect themselves. The last to enter the charmed circle had been a youth from the North, who in appearance and manners was cer­ tainly at a disadvantage with those whom he quickly came to oonsider his rivals. Itoqer HerJestone was two-and- twfntv; but his thi«*k-«et, burly figure, «od his abandonee «f feeard, made him look years older. He was h avy in feature, uncertain in movement, and awkward in address. As the nenhew of Mr. Marston, of Marstoa & Marsh, cotton-mill owners, his prospects were very good. But the knowledge of this fact some­ how failed to give him the needed self- confidence. Roger's many blunders mide him, to a lnTge«xtent, the butt <of his male ac­ quaintance, ftvd it was probably this that caused Ada Carfit, out of sheer opposition, to treat him with marked favor. Philip Dare, i he lawyer, had likened Roger to the proverbial "bull in a china shop," and Philip Dare should be made to b te his lip with vexation at her deference to the despised one. But once again «ba was luad only to be crueL "I cannot tell whether she cares for me or whether she does not," said Roger Herlestone to his yonnger brother, Martin. "Sometimes I think one thing; and sometimes another. But this I am sure of, she ia all the world to me." "Then I\1 ask her, old fellow." "But--bat--she has always so many round her. Ada C«rfit is the queen of a large circle, and I " "Have been the" best of sons, the beet of brothers, and, I have no doubt, would make the best of husbands." "And I," said Roger, resuming slowly, and paying no heed to this enthusiastic praise, "am a rough and homely man, who has almost as good a right to dream of becoming Prime Minister as of win­ ning such a wife." "Nonsense, Roger! Don't be so uu •necessarily modest. You are just as good as she, and the girl mnst know it." "Then," and the elder's tone changed suddenly, "111 put it to the test and see. If Ada refuses me, it will be just another dream dispelled, an<}^ jj[u4l ifaoe the worst." The opportunity soon came. The two were thrown at a summer picnic party, and some malign genius made Ada more than ever gracious. It seemed to her that she had suc­ ceeded in thawing the ioe of her ad- mirer's awkwardness, and the studied vf-eompliments ha paid her awoke the ]gle!im of a sunny, satisfied smile. She little suspected the commotion that was woniq^ beneath the surface. They had wandered out of si ht and 'hearing of the rest, on pretense *of ex­ amining some curiously-shaped rocks. "How still the air is," under the sun!" said Adi, stopning at a low fence that crossed the hillside. For a moment her companion did not answer, and she casta casual glance up­ ward at his face. What Ada saw tlfbre made her -start •and slight y shiver. • "Yes," he said, with a hoarse and mighty effort, "this is just the turn of fthe season, and this hush is lreqnent -and very suggestive then. You and I have come to a turning-point, too, Miss Carfit, and I must break the stillness by a very important question. Can vott not guee<« what th >t is - the story I have to tell, >1 ?s Carfit--Ada?" "No, no. We had better return, I think. We shall be lost, Mr. Herle- 'stone." Ada was keepingher composure won­ derfully, and she hoped by this coldly- spoken hint the confession she feared . might be averted. Sh" did not know the speaker. "Wait an insta-it, Ada." Roger cried, abandoning the last shelter of reserve; "I have this to tell, that yon are more l^o me tha& any one else in the wide " world can ever be. I love you, Ada-- surely you must have divined it! Can vou love me back again, however little? •:Will you some day be my wife?" His words were coming swiftly enough now, and his beseeching eyes emphasized their truth. ; The man was transformed, and a faint response of admiration was raised in the girl's heart. But • e was--could be--no more than 'others she had re?ce*ed. ; This triumph she was u*ed to. and 'gloried in; though usually she had been be'ter on her gnard, and stopped the i;deluded one before this stage was preached. "I am sorry, Mr. Herlestone. you have said such things," she replied; "I ibought you were above romance. Tha*- is partly why I trusted you. You seemed so--so sensible." " It must surely be a sign of that to admire and to love^J "Pray don't, Mr. Herlestone. It is all a mistake, I assure you." "A mistake that yon can ever care for ime?" "Yes, certainly." There was a levity about the assur­ ance that stung the young man weH nigh into madness. He had heard rumors of the girl's heartlessness, and had paid no heed, treating them as idle scandal born of envy. N ow*he oould believe. The very reality of his own love re­ vealed the hollowness of this maiden's smiles. "Is it also an error that encouraged me to think differentlyhe asked ; "that you accepted my advances?" "It was your own fault; you did as you pleased. But you are forgetting yourself now, Mr. Herlestone." "I admit it, a:.d I apologise. Miss Carfit," he replied, bitterly. "It was truly my own fault that I did not un­ derstand. I do now. You will let me see vou back to the party?" The return walk was whiled away by a very constrained conversation, ana botJh were glad when it was over. A strange silence descended upon Ada Carfit for the rest of the afternoon. Even the mirth of her other courtiers failed to do more than organize her into an outward semblance of interest and yiw] hnmr>r • MM i XL . It was mIfey months- later, and the storms of, perhaps, the wildest winter within liviu'_' memory hod descended upon thes« Northern Midland. For day after day, and week after week, there was scarcely a break in the clouds or a pause in the '. ale. Wind and rain, wind and rain was the dreary record, untd the lakes were swollen, the streams impassable, and miles of low-lying pasture-lands sub­ merged. Sliarborough was not a pleasant place under the circumstances. Up >n the very brightest heavens its hu:Te manufacturing chininies hung a yellow.blot; and now the funeral like pall of fog atkd smoke lowered overhead in a perpetual frown. Ada Carfit grew siek of it, and betook herself on a visit to her uncle at Bays- ditch, five miles away. Th; re it rained still, it is true, and seemed likely to rain. But Baysditch was in the open coun­ try, and behind it were the PorJey Hills. The girl was better oontent, and could grumble there with a sense of less oppression. Of Roger Herlestone, since her dis­ missal of him, she had seen very little. He was grown graver and more ret­ icent, it appeared, than ever. And he had lately been taken in as a junior partner by Marston & Marsh. That was all she knew. But somehow his faee frequently haunted her. He had looked so resolute and manly on those Porley Downs. She even sighed thinking of it, Ada's own image, despite his utmost efforts, was equally present with the younar manufacturer. "I think I despise and hate her as much as I once cared for her," he told his brother; "but forget her I can't." • "Fall in love with some one else," was Martin's sage recommendation. But Roger shook his head. "Not yet," he said ; "I have not sufficient confidence in female good­ ness since then. That was the greatest evil the girl did me. She destroyed faith at a blow." "A sto* my afternoon, Roger," said his uncle, two days later. Do you mind driving to Nort i Fulton to see a! out tlxo'-e missing nrders ? It will be best for one of the firm to go* as it is auc;i a delicate que tion." "I am perfectly Milling, sir. I am not afraid of the weather in the least." "Better start at once." "So I will. I shall be back, then, by nightfall." . North Fulton was over the hills, ten miles off. a lie young mam waa quickly under way. He had to pass through Baysditch, and lie was aware of Ada Carfit's pres­ ence there. „ But it was nothing to him whether she saw him or not. The state of the roads was a mueh more seri us consideration. How high the waters were and still rising. Many houses in the valley were al­ ready isolated, and unless a speedy change took place--of which, alas 1 there was no symptom--the result evitably be grave disaster. The wind lulled for an hour or two while Roger transacted his business. But it nrose in redoubled fury as he commenced hi* return journey. Darkness added to the difficulty and the danger of the route. • Turning sharply round a oorner into Baysditch valley, Roger was hailed by a terror-stricken voice behind hiny , He pulled hastily up. i "What's wrong?" he asked. i Pant, pant, pant! and then a white face with awed, dilated eyes gleamed Upon him in the mist. • "Porley dam be bursten 1" "So!--Bure?" Roger comprehended in an instant what that message meant, and his ac­ cents were as hoarse as the stranger's. "Ay; certain. Tis tearin' through th' embankment like a cataract. Get- tin' bigger every minute, and noane. can stop it." "Then Baysditch must be flooded?" "Yes. I be goin' to warn V i "Jump up here." Aud Roger drove a if for hisown life, ic stead of other people's. The alarm soon spread, and a scene of terror and confu -ion ensued which miplit have appalled the strongest. Water was swiftly rising in the single village street, and the mutt, r of the ou- sweeping torrent' grew louder every minute. Homeless, and sadly delict nt in both food and clothing, dozens of families fled to the hillsides while there was yet time. Where was Ada Carfit lodging? Milton Villa, old Luke Carfit's home, was some distance l*\vond the cluster­ ing vill ige-roofs, and Roger experienced some delay in reaching it. The inmates, only thrgp in number beside the two maid-serv nts, were but just alarmed, and their retreat was out off befor^ even Roger was aware of it. Ad i was as pale as death, but strangely calm and self- possessed. Roger remembered after­ ward how, at lea^t once in that hour of awlul peril, her eyes were fixed on his as if they would read his very soul. But it was a time for action and not sen­ timent. From the edge of the lawn--now the bed of a roaring stream--the ground trended gently away to the uplands, and there the only hope lay. It was more than probable that the house would s:ive way under the avalanche of water which hud still to descend. "Porley dam" was the current designation of the res­ ervoir that supplied all Sharborough. Roger Herlestone swam across with his lioise and turned the animal loose. Then, estimating as best he could the distance and his powers, he returned and briefly explained life plan. There was no boat within reach. Each mem­ ber of the household must trust to hi n; and he would return for each. It was proposed that Ada should go first; but she r<>fu8ed, and time was too precious to be spent in haggling. Mrs. Carfit and her husband and the maids were all saved thus; and, nearly exhausted, Roger went back for the obstinate girl who still lingered. "Whether I die or live, this shall be my revenge," he muttered to himself. . Ada was in his arms now, and the cross-current running heavily against him. It was a desperate struggle, and growing every instant more dangerous by reason of uprooted trees and other wreckage, that came swiftly down the valley. ^ *Would he succeed? How the spec­ tators held their breath and trembled! At Inst, with * faint "Hurrah!" he made terra firma with iiis burden. But hen he fainted, and for the first time the res­ cued household observed that .he was wounded. A tree-trunk had struck him. and inflicted a ghastly wound on the liead. But for the presenPaM they •"Oould do was to grieve and tend him as he lay. They were outcasts like dozens' of others. That flood will be long remembered, and not least by Roger Herlestone and the girl he sa ed. lirain fever supervened, and Roger wrts ill for m*iny weeks. Ada Carfit was his chief nurse, and her character s<emed entirely changed, so humble and assiduous was she. , There came a day when, with a new ' light in his eye, Roger looked up aud whispered: - - "Ada!" ' -- - " She averted her face. But he had caug it the vision of a tear--one# of thankfulness nd joy. He took her un­ resisting hind. "[ have a confession to make," he whispered, "it was in sheer revenge i saved you. Can you forgive me, Ada? And after all--care--a little ?" "Forgive! And I--let me tell, too," she cried, brokenly, "I loved you, though I didn't know it, when yda asked me first, Roger."
