He was actual" ly blushing; but the faint tinge faded quickly from his cheeks and left thera, unusually pallid. j "Yes?" said Lieut. Winston, encour agingly and quite unblusliinjjly. j "Oh, I don't know!" stammered the other man. "Are you really serious? If 60. you must be pardon me for saying so either the most heartless beggar I ever znet or the most ab- ! surdly sensitive." ' I "In other words, a knave or a blith ering idot eh. Metford. old chap?" said Win." on, cheerily. I "Exactly! I hope it is only a case of temporary insanity " Dr. Metford was one of the ablest of the younger physicians in the West End of London; but, being also one of the most stupidly modest of clever men, his professional income baiely sufficed to pay the rental of his rooms in Gower street. Some day he may discover that it is possible to be orer xnodest and that inward self deprecia tion leads to penury, and then he will remove to Harley street and begin to make progress towards affluence j Winston did not fail to observe tha tinge of color on the doctor's face, nbt its quick disappearance, but ho gave no sign of recognition. Never before'' had he seen his old college; chuiri look half so handsome as when that fleeting show of rosy color tinted the man's cheeks, nor half so pathet ically glum as when it vam&ned. I "She saved my life. I thimc you will admit that, doctor? How many wom en wotild have taken the risKs that she took? Would any otner woman in the world have &acrinced herself as she did?" "Any number of them!" declared the doctor, sententiously, although a flitting smile uoon his face saidi "None of them, bless her!" t "You" medical men are utterly heartless cynics," protested Winston, shrugging his broad shoulders. 'I .."Tj't.trly," admitted Metford. "Now, I am so unromartic as to at tribute your recover' chiefly to your" cast-iron constitution, a rattling pood physician must sound by own trum pet if you won't blow it for me and Ojd Nick's merciful consideration. Your cup of iniquity is not yet quite brimful; your liver and all the rest of you, including your heart, is as sound as a bell!" I "I know well what I owe to j-ou, Melfb'rd old'ctiap!" said the dohvalei-, cent In a grateful tone and 'th an affectionate grasp of the biceps of the doctor's nearest arm". "You 'don't appear to be aware of it, but you're u. long wgythe cleverest medcine man in London, head and 'shoulueis above all the rest of 'em.

Grsat Daatruatlon Camcd by Onr- stowing Rtvera-itnvroduui Task That Confronted the l'eoplv ot That Section. Th valleys of the Brazos and Col orado rivers, which were inundated by overflows of those streams in Julj, ISM, hate been reclaimed and will this j ear yield an immense crop of cotton. It was conservatively estimated, re ports the New York Sun, that the floods of last j'ear destrojed growing cotton in the allej of the Brazos river that would have jielded fullv 500,000 bales, while the loss in the val ley of the Colorado amounted to un other 100,000 bales. Not only was this growing crop swept to destruction, but the plantations along the rivers were denuded of all their buildings, fence and other improvements. The humble homes of thousands of negro families who were emplojed on the plantations were washed away and the terrified inhabitants had to seek refuge on higher ground along the surging YJvefs. When the waters subsided the lull etfect of the destructive inundations was to be seen. The overriow extend ed along .the Brazos river from it mouth to Veiasco, on the Gulf of Mex ico, to the northern part of the state, a distance of probably 400 miles bv' course of the river The wiath of the 1 overflowed valley was from one mile to fifteen miles Alone the Colorado river the inundation extended from the Gulf of Mexico to Austin, a dis tance of probably 300 miles When the news of the disaster reached the people of Texas and the outside world contributions began to pour in from all oer the country in aid of the suf fering colored people. Several hun dred thousand dollars were expended through relief committees for sup plies. It was probably six weeks from the time the overflows were at their helght before the waters had subsided and the ground was again In condi tion to be worked The task before the planters was a stupenddus one, but they met the dif ficulties with an indomitable will and courage that soon accomplished won ders. The negroes weic at first loath to return to the bottoms They had,, been faring so well through the gen- ' erous" chaHty'of a sympathetic peo ple that they "had no desire to make. a change, When the planters could not induce them to return to th-nr la bors the free food s lpp'.tes were cut oft by the relief eommitteis of the sev eral communities and the refugees were informed that the would either Irue to wi'ik or starve They pre ferred to wtrk I'pon their return to the plantation the wark of re habilitation wis eairiet' on with igor. rieh silt eovcied the t alleys of the two rhtis to a rrent depth.

It is ihe opin ion nf mai'v nlnuters that the inunda tion was it 'l!v a blessing m disguise: that the salt which was deposited throughout thr vallej's of the two nvers has added more to the value of the sod than the amount of loss sustained bv the destruction wiQupht bj the Hoods.
