! the mountnius lowered their
heads and came nearer. The
arroya looked parched and
thirsty. The twain thought by
rapid driving they could pass
beyond the clouds to where the
sun was shining, but delusive
hone. The rain had begun to
fall when they had gone about
fourteen miles from the city. It
fell gently and carressingly at
first, nestling around the linnen
collars, then playing artlessly
with the fine starched cuffs and
finally resting in large sleepy
drops on Mr. A’s nose. Then
the rain got mad and came in
larger sizes with inconceivable
rapidity. The wind rose again
and came straight at their faces.
Our two friends then turned the
buggy sternward, to use a nauti-
cal term, in order to find the
leeside of the business. They
sat looking towards Marfa, anon,
peeping at the clouds and finding
paths for streamlets to wander
along. The little streams would
flow down their garments then
finding a large reservoir in Mr.
A’s No. 8’s would peacefully
fall asleep. When the rain had
somewhat moderated, the horses
were turned around and tho
journey resumed. Water wa9
everywhere. It seemed to our
anxious travelers as if the water
ran both up an down grade.
Finally they reached a place in
the road where the water rushed
madly between two hills forming
a torrent only fifteen feet in
width. It was debated as to the
advisability of crossing, but,
nothing daunted, they drove into
the water. Immediately the
black disappeared from view.

companion thought it best to
whip up the visable horse and
thus try and bring to light the
one that had disappeared. The
lash was applied with vigor. The
horse gave a plunge and suc-
ceeded in dragging out of the
hole his submerged fellow. They
gained a foothold on the opposite
bank, but the strong swift cur-
rent seizing the buggy threw it
over. ‘‘Mine Got! safe me,”
