THE KEEPERS DAUGHTER.

A lighthouse on a rocky coast.
Outside, thunder, lightning, wind
and rain, and great black waves
dashing up against the rocks at the
foot of the tower. Inside a winding
fight of stairs leading to an octagon-
shaped room containing the plain
est furniture. The occupants, a girl
of eighteen, tall and 1.-THE, with black
hair hanging in massive braids to
her waist, and luminous gray eyes
under straight black eyebrows.
Her dress of gray waterproof cloth
was short and scant, and hung in
wet folds about her limbs; and
strangest of all girdles, coil of rope
encircled her waist and trailed one
end on the foor.. BY her side a
boy of fourteen years. with his blue
blouse open at the throat, and a IA
ded plush cap on his dark curls.
These two were bending over a man
who lay in all his magnificent
length on the floor, a picturesque
looking man, With fair hair clinglng
in dripping masses to his forhead /;
q curling golden beard and white
firm throat, and one might be per-
-uaded that the closed lids with
their long fringes covered pair OF
steel blue eyes.
Reckon he's a goner, Liz, said
the boy, as he paused in his vigor-
ous rubbing of the mans hands.
The girl was forcing some liquor
from lin cup between the blue
lips and did not answer directly
but when her patient gave the faint
est possible sigh, she exclaimed
':.See, Neddie, he breathes
Now work fast" whereupon they
both fell to rubbing him at great
rate.
When Allen Mcintyre opened his
eyes he looked about him confused
ly. The odd little room, the girl
with the black braids, the boy look
ing SO like her that one would at
orce recognize the relationship, the
drenched condition Of all three, and
the strange languor that through all
his frame-what did it mean? He
closed his eyes YEARLY, and then
the boy spoke up in this bluff fash
ion:
"You came near going under,
cap'n, but Lizzie pulled you out"
Then Mcintyre Remembered all.
and languidly raised himself into a
sitting posture.

Orleans Gabriel was protecting a
lady from the insults Of Bruman.
when he was shot by the latter and
mortally wounded. His assailant
escaped arrest and fed the city. He
was subsequently captured and lodg-
ed in Jail. One morning he was
found dead in his cell with bis throat
cut from ear to ear.
He had found a piece of a soda
water bottle in the corner of his cell,
and with it ended, as was afterward
discovered, a life blackened with
crime and prohigacy. Gabriel died
from the effects Of his wound, and
Ernesto two days later fell a victim
to that dreadful scourge. yellow fe-
yer.
Years later, when the main actors
in this strange episode slept in their
quiet graves miles apart-when in
terest in the scenes we have related
had almost died away or was recall
ed with eye TO the hunters fireside
the mystery surrounding the dis
appearance Of young Antoine was
brought to light recently, while a
party ofhunters were pursuing some
game many miles from Hidalgo,
they found the re mains of the nm
fortunate man in a cave in which
the animal they were pursuing had
established its lair. There was only
the ghastly looking skeleton of a
man, rust rife, and rudely carv-
ed in the yielded rock upon which
it rested were these words : Lost ;
can't find my way out. Antoine
Settacci." That was all, but it told
its own story. 1t solved an enigma
that dad darkened many lives. 1t
cleared from the foul'stain Of MUIR
der, though too late, Gabriel Agna-
getti and his brother.
This is the life history-a record
which by the way, is authentic, and
can be verified by other living wit.
nessee-the desolate father told the
writer as he sat in his lonely cabin
one evening recently. The night
wind swept down the deep mount
ain gorges with the roar ofan angry
sea, the stars twinkled camly over
head, the howl of the wolf echoed
dismally far out in the shadows of
the woods, while the darkness of
the night filled all space.
