had resolved to husband.

I felt my strength going as you ran
I a pair of reins slip through your
hands. Every few f.st, slowly but
urely. I would go under. Then, by
desperate exertions with my arms, I
would bring my nose and mouth above
the water again. The nver swept

under a bunch of tins long, graceful 1
willow branches, hut again I was steady
. - 1
enough not to catch hold of them. I
knew that to do to was to waste my ef
forts for life In vain. They were slite
wry, they were mall, and would not
hold me.
At such a time one s thoughts travel
faster than light. I have heard It sold
that drowniug la au easy death to die
it did not present that phase to me In
going 100 yards, in spite of every effort
on my part, I went under seroral time
but never to Ihe bottom.
As 1 was thot along out of reach of
the willows I aaw an old log lying half
on the bank and half in the water. My
hopes rose again and I thought I should
certainly save myself there. A I came
to it I went under again and the current
wept me up agsiiisl It full length. 1
tried to grasp it, but it was slimy and I
