The main portion of Mitchell lies in
a narrow canyon. A storm of unusual
severity had raged in ths hills during
the afternoon, and the inhabitants,
mindful of the disaster to Heppner -a
year ago, betook themselves to high
ground along the side T>f the canyon.
About 6 o’clock the roar of the flood
could be heard, growing louder with
the great wave’s nearer approach.
The crash as the great mass, of water
struck the first buildings was' deafen

women and children as they strove to
climb still higher out of harm’s way.
Fai down ahead of the yellow mass rode
a mertenger on horseback warning
those still further down the stream oh
impending death.
The uuildings in ihe path of ths
flood were swept away like so much
brush. Of over a score scarcely a
vestige remains, eave where shattered
boards and timbers are caught on tiees
and bush, far below the town site.
The businees portion of Mitchell was
not greatly damaged, being built on
ground above the reach of the main

Chefoo, JuTy 13.—The Japanese are
advancing against Port Arthur by two

Dalny, and the other along the center
road from Kinoom, tho former assisted
by the navy.
On July 4, the Japanese, by a bril
liant charge, captured the Miaotsui
fort, which gave them a strong position
from which they immediately began
a heavy bombardment of the eastern
section of the Port Arthur defenses.
The Japanese losaee in the serie« of en
gagement« culminating--» thi« capture
were enormous, but this fact had no
effect on the tank and file.
The second Japaneee column also did
excellent work, and is reported to have
taken the outworks of Shuishiying,
one of the cardinal defenses of Port
Arthur, and only four miles from the
town itself.
This town, which was
left in a dismantled condition by the
Rusaians when they abandoned it, has
been practically restored by the Japan
ese who are miantaining rigid disci

thejCbinese who were driven out be

8t. •Petersburg, July, 13. — With

have any seriona intentions of pushing

sition would seem decidedly dangerous.
Their northern advance posts are at

Whether
the Japaneee operations will be pressed
in the face of the rainy season, which
is not regarded as probable here, the
Japanese seem assured of the command
of the month of the Liao river valley,
which will give them a new baa« with
two railroads, one direct to Mukden and
the other to the Sinminting river and
the imperial high road. The Sinmin-
ting road opens vast possibilities for

aaaM up from my work covered witk filth
from head to foot. I had paaaed the laat
ladder, and stood'hVthe month of the
mine, dasxled by the quick tranaforma-
tlon from pitch darkneas to broad day
light. when my ear« were struck by the
sound of A’ voice which passed like sud
den music through my frsme, I rubbed
my eyn and looked about me, and there,
not far from where I stood, was my old
sweetheart. She waa dressed now In an
elegant coatume of gray, which fitted
her to perfection; a little hat with long
plumes was on her besd, and ber face,
looking lovelier than ever, glowed and
sparkled in the light; with her rich
brown skin snd sparkling black eyea,
her erect carriage, graceful tread, she
looked like some Eltatern princesei She
was walking toward the spot where I
stood; George Redruth was beside her;
while behind-' followed the black girl,
Anita, her dark eye« fixed upon her mie-
tregs. This sudden encounter unnerved
me. Quickly recovering myself, however,
I was about to move away, and so avoid
embarrassment, when the master’e voice
arrested me.
*
"Trelawney,” he said* "oae moment.
Mise Graham wishes to go down the
mine. -I tell ber it Is impossible. What
do you say? Is it fit for a lady?”
“Don’t worry about It, George," sho
said, “I’ve abandoned the idea.” Then,
stepping up to me, ali< held forth her
little gloved hand. I bowed over it, but
did not’ take it, giving aa an excurt that
I was not fit to approach her. -
“I daresay you were In quite as forlorn
a condition the other morning when you
snatched mc froni the wreck," she satd;
"yet you did not hesitate then, when'
your own life was In peri). Mr. Trelaw
ney, take my band.”
1 did as she requested, I clasped tho
little hand in both of mine and raiaed
it reifyectfully to my Hpa. In doifig so,
I caught a glimpse of George Redruth’s
face; it was black as the pit mouth.
"Now, my dear Madeline," he aald,
Impatiently, »‘shall ye go back?”
But MadeHrri 'was not ready, or per
haps she was too imperious to be so or
dered by her cousin. She had abandon
ed all intention of descending the mine;
but ahe was nevertheless anxious to in
spect the outside of it.
* "But you can go,'- she said. "Mr. Tre
lawney -will escort me.” ——r—
“Nonsense!” returned her cousin. “Tre
lawney has got his work to attend to.
I will stay.”
And he did atay for fully two hours;
at the end of which time she allowed
him to take her away.
-Three other daya passed without ■ sign
from her; th^n I encountered her again.
It was in the evening, when I was walk
ing home. This time ahe waa alone r
except for tTii servant, who walked at a
respectful distance behind ber. She came
up to me unreservedly., and again held
forth her hand.
“I came to walk back with you,” she
said. “Do you mind?”
“I mind?” I repeated In amassment.
"You forget. Miss Graham, it Is an honor
for me to walk beside you."
She gave a little impatient toea of ber
head, and we walked on together? For
some time not a word was spoken, but I
felt that she was watching me keenly.
Presently she said:
"Do you know What I have been doing,
Mr. Trelawney? I have been trying to
flmj In ¿011 one trace of the boy I knew,'
yeara ago, at Munater'a—and I have
failed.”
“I don't understand.”
— "No? Well, I will explain. The boy
I knew waa kind to me; frank, open-
hearted, generous. You sre somewhat
unfriendly, reaerved, harah, and. If I
may any so, churlish. Why are you «o
changed?”
< "Lam not changed. Miss Graham; or,
if I am, it is but with the tide of for
tune, which has ebbed end not flowed
with me since we met before. When we
were at Munater’a I believed we were
equals, but now you are Miss Madeline
Graham; I am overseer of your cousin’s
mine.”
“Then you wish us to remain aa stran
gers?”
‘‘"I think It would be better.”
“Ab! you are crueller than I thought;
if you will not accept my frlendahlp for
the sake of the old days when we were
boy and girl together, you will, at least,
bsve some pity upon me. I am lonely
and among strangers here. You seem
like an old friend. If you will suffer me
to talk to you sometimes It will make
my stay here more pleaeant”
Her pleading won the day, and we be
came friends. I never went to Redruth
House, unit- ahe never came to the cot;
tage. I never sought her, but quite in
nocently and frankly she sought me. We
often went on the moor when, after my
long day'a work, I waa making my way
home, and I could not regard these meet
ings as purely accidental on her part.
Bhe waa alwaya accompanied by the
black girl, until one evening, when sho
appesred alone.'

“You are looking for Anita!" said
.Madeline, noting my glance. “Sho haa
gone to London with my aunt’s maid,
and will not return till close on midnight.
My cousin counselled my staying at home
to-nigbF, or allowing him to accompany
me. I knew I should not want for com
pany, ao refused to submit I may not
enjoy thea^ walks much longer."
“What! are you going away?” I ask
ed, in some alnrm-.-
She shrugged her shoulders. "Per
haps! I do not know; certainly I shall
hav* to g&'booner or later, but I trust
it may not be sooner. When I was ship
wrecked here I was on my way to Lon
don, to take up my abode with come oth
er relation«.
They are troubling m«
with questions, so I have sent Anita to
satisfy them as to my aafety. Yet I
suppose I shall aome day have to go.”
Bhe tried to apeak carelessly, yet I
fancied I detected a ring of regret In
her voice, and I quailed before the feel
ing of fieiolation which ber jtords
brought to my heart.
In that one sentence she hsd 'Unwit

I loved her with th« same unthinking

—loved her even while I felt that such

my life. I knew that no good could com«

that to love her so, be It only for one
hour, was worth whole eentnries of pain.
