SYNOPSIS
Mrs. John Mannering and Piano
Bledsoe an- caught in a forest fire.
The girl plunges into the river, from
which she is drawn by the older wo-
man. Mrs. Mannering accomplishes
the rescue at the peril of her ow n life,
for a landslide has broken the dam
and Mannering with difficulty fights
to save his wife from the unleashed
flood. It is a desperate struggle, with
every step become a pain, every move-
ment agony.
CHAPTER XV—Continued
Heedless of the flames which leaped
beside him and of the overpowering
heat, John reached the bank and drop-
ped down upon the edge. Completely
spent, his heaving chest cried for air
when* there was only smoke his heat-
ed blood called for coolness where
there was only fire. Strangling, chok-
ing, all was growing dark about him
as consciousness faded. It was weak
and quivering arms, without a pound
of lifting power, that he extended down
to her— useless arms, helpless arms.
And that raging, surging mass of
water was upon her—it towered
above her!
next day, eleciion day, Infer*- Eileen
began to feel herself again. Then,
she moved slowly out on the terrace of
her home and gazed forth at the sun
