Years passed on, and Godfrey An

the more he got, the stronger became
his appetite for wealth. To increuse
liis already swollen fortune, he built
a great elevator on the hanks of the

A severe winter set in. The Febru

ish unrest one night, tho miser lay
listening to the sullen roar of the
mighty river and tho moan of the
wind through the troes. Presently a
knock came at his door.
“ Who is thvfo?”
“ I am, ’squire: I cannot sleep. The
waters are rising and I am afraid.”
It was tho querulous voice of his old
housekeeper.
“ G o to bed, you old fool. D o you
think I should stay here if there woro
any danger?”
“ But already tho waves splash
against the house-side, and—”
But before tho poor woman could
finish her sentence, n mighty roar
drowned her voice, and as it by a
grand upheaving of nature, the house
rocked on its foundation.
Godfrey rose hurriedly and dressed.
He openod the casomont and looked
into the dark horror of the night.
Past his very window, so close ho
could nlmost touch it, swirled the mad
water, rushing with impetuous fury
beneath him. He heard horrid cries
for help come out of the darknoss,
and his soul quailed within him.
All without crash, rage, fury and

Would the blessed day
light never come! An hour passed
by. It seoinod to him a year of un

the tempest came a rolling crash, ns
though tho very heavens hnd opened
to pour out their wrath. The fear-
stricken man and woman listened,
appalled and in silence.
Then a gleam of light, nnd the faint
dawn of morning struggled through
the piercing gloom. Godfrey peered
out into the wild scene before him.
Where was the stately pile he had

But his present necessities dulled

G old is dear, but life is dearer. B e

of rushing waters cutting off his last
