The fisnermnns vile takes the uncon-
scicus girl and lays her on her own bed,
and Epllraim Ford goes upon his errand
of mercy with murder in his heart.
The storm has lulled for moment.
1t comes on so gradually, stopping every

Ephraim looks at the sky. II Is still
red in the west the waves are rising
steadily, but his stout built boat, di-
rected by his powerful strength. can
yet make its way through them. There
Is plenty of time; the tide will not turn
for half an hour.
Ephraim fights his battle with temp
tation and wins the victory: for,
twenty. minutes later the sturdy boat
blows its way back to the shore, and
Two silent men struggled against the
wind up the beach to the fisherman's
hut. Dorothy is waiting for them. Her
outstretched arms would wind them
selves about both, but the stern, fixed
look in Ephraim's eyes restrained her,
and Charles turns from her and fixes
his eyes upon the ground.
1t is aterrible moment for Dorothy.
She knows they both love her, and
she shivers mt the suffering in both
faces.
Then she remembers the oath she did
not speak, and wild sort of terror
takes possession of her soul. She speaks
at last, and tries to thank Ephraim for
the service he had done them.

an oath. Dorothy, l am glad 1t was
not spoken. Tell ME now, though, dost
thou love this young manp Wilt thou
forswear thy religion, forsake the faith
OF thy forefathers's and become one of
the worlds peopleP"
Dorothy's eyes looked toward Charles
with a mute appeal.
He has saved both our lives, dear"
answers the young man, in reply to her
glance, and he's worthy of your love-"
Then his eyes seek the floor again. He
has received his life from this mans
hands, and now he will speak no word
to rob him of his treasure.
"Speak, Dorothy" Ephraim repeats.
1t is for you to choose"
Dorothy's voice is choked with tears
and her breast shaken with sobs, as she
answers:
1T is very, very wicked of me, Eph-
rain, but love him sop
Then she stretched out her helpless
hands, and the sweet lips whisper,
"Charles."
Only single word, but it decides her
life. In a moment she is in her lovers
arms, and for the second time that night
unconscious.
The nobler man of the two goes un-
needed out in the storm to conquer his
heartache alone.

The Power of Enjoyment.

Comparatively few people possess uni.
formly cheerful dispositions. Most of
us have our sad hours and moods. But,
whatever his disposition, man is
bound by the laws OF his own being,
and by those of his social relations, to
cultivate the virtue of cheeriulness as
siduously and constantly. He has no
more right to injure his neighbor's hap
piness than To, interfere within is pecuni-
AIRY property, and he cannot indulge in
venting ill-humor or spleen, with
gloomy forebodings or complaints, or
even carrying a sad, sour, frowning
visage. without sensibly diminishing
the enjoyment or comfort of others, and
thus infringing on their rights. Any
individual who has tried to do so can
win himself from despondency and
surilness. The power of enjoyment Is
in itself faculty capa BILE of improve
ment, and as practice always enhances
power, 1t is good thing to form the
habit of enjoyment. II is not true that
the sources OF pleasure are few and
rare, but il is sadly true that we pass
them by unnoticed. We crave the ex-
citement of business or politics of fash
ionable lie, and forget the world Of in
nocent enjoyment that we trample un-
der foot. Nature and art offer their
treasures in vain, the loveliness of child
hood, the attractions of home, the real
satisfaction of honest labor, the simple
pleasure of little things all plead for ut
terance, but we repulse them. How
can we possess a cheerful spirit and a
glad heart when we scornfully despise
our simple pleasuresP Every innocent
means ofhappiness should be welcomed,
and gloomy thoughts persistently ban
ished. ii sa-ll .H NT.ltl
