While they were eating their telephone rang. It was Mr. Simmons phoning to tell them that there was going to be a terrific storm and they ought to take whet the family would need and go up to Mrs. Johnson's, the neighbor's, until he could find e place for them to stay. When he told Mrs. Simmons the water was rising and she would have to hurrysfco was much disturbed. .After she hung up she could just imagine the rising water carrying their cottage down the lake, but she and the Children hurried to gather up their clothes. On their way to Mrs. Johnson’s the rein poured down in sheets. They were all running when Jane called to her .mother to wait for her. Mrs. Simmons turned to look at Jane, she fell. Jane and Bill tried to help her up, but she thought she had twisted her ankle. She told them to run ahead and get help, Jane wanted to stay with her mother but she told her she would be all n'ght, and that she thought Jane should go along with Bill-. They took all their luggage they could carry and went ahead to Mrs, John- son's for help. While Jane and Bill were gone it started lightning and raining harder than ever. They had been gone for only a few minutes; but it seemed like hours to Mrs. Simmons. She tried to force herself to walk but it hurt her so she couldn't. Jane and Bill told Mrs. Jbhnson what had happened,and she soon called two of the neighbors to help get Mrs. Simmons to the house. 'When they finally reached Mrs. Simmons they found that she had fainted from exhaustion. The two men who had come to help carry Mrs. Simmons to Mrs. Johnson's house and then called Mr. Simmons and the doctor. When the doctor arrived at the house Mrs. Simmons was in so much pain . the doctor told Mr. Simmons to rush her to the hospital right away for x-rays. Sure enough, as he had predicted, her ankle was broken. While Mr. Simmons was at the hospital it kept raining and the water kept rising. He couldn't get bsck to Mrs. Johnson's to get Jane and Bill, so they had to stsy all night there-, That night when they went to bed they were grateful that nothing more serious had happened to their mother ani obey pray- ed that they would never have to go through such on experience os this again, until they were grown-ups at least.
