The Ship In the Moon,

Most of the young readers of st.
Nicholas have probably seen the sea,
either at some of those crowded resorts
Newport. Long Branch, Atlantic
City, Asbury Park, and Coney Island
or else at one of the little hamlets or
| fishing villages scattered all along the
coast. And, perhaps, some of these
boys and girls have seen the curious
sight am about to describe But as
| have never had the good fortune to be-
hold it more than once, want to tell
you of the incident.
One sultry August day, / left the hot
city with a party of friends, in search of
cool and restful holiday by the sea.
Before night-fall. we found a pleasant
place on the New Jersey coast. and
| after hearty supper we hastened down
to the beach. Crowds of people were
strolling up and down the board walk
| that formed a promenade along the
| shore; but we were tired, and so threw
ourselves Immediately upon the sand.
where we soon made comfortable rest
ing-places in which to listen TO the roar
of the surf and look out over the sea.
| Vessels of all sorts and sizes " ere NOV
ing slowly along in the twilight. and at
| last one fine steamer came up out of
| the southern horizon on her way to
| New York harbor, leaving long cloud
of black smoke behind. As she passed
by, she saluted the crowd on shore with
deep, hoarse whistle. while the peo-
pie waved their handkerchiefs, hats
and shawls in response. BY and bv. as
it grew darker, the throng dwindled.
and at last we reused ourselves from
our rapt enjoyment of the scene to find
that we were almost alone upon the
beach. We jumped up, and were pre-
pairing to leave the shore, when one of
our number called attention to a faint
nush on the eastern horizon, and with one
simultaneous cry, "The moonr' wa
settled ourselves again upon the sand
IN expectation of magnificent spec
tacle
ana you may be sure we were not dis
appointed. The color in the far dis
tance, looking at first like the glow of
some great flre, gradually grew larger
ana larger, rounder and rounder until
hnally hemisphere of red light rested
upon the fatherest edge of the ocean.
just at that moment, we observed on
the horizon ship or sloop, seemingly
almost as far away as the ball of light.
but moving toward it. 1t drew swiftly
nearer and nearer, and, finally, at the
very moment when the great red globe
drew itself wholly out of the water. the
ship appeared upon its face, with all
SAL set, the whole outline of the vessel
lnclosed within the circle of the moon.
1t was only for an instant, and the
dark sloop passed out of the magic ring
as quickly as it had entered It. But
we who saw it have never forgotten the
beautiful sight it gave us as it photo
graphed itself for that one moment up-
on that wonderful screen And, though
have many times watched for repe-
tltlon OF the coincidence, | have never
beheld second ship in the mooDp-St.
Nicholas for September.

Why Was She Saarad?

He came home with a serious face.
She, who was all love and smiles. saw
in an instant that something was the
matter. He turned his face away when
she attempted tc plant the warm kiss of
greeting on his lips. Her soul sank
within her. 1t was the first time he
had repulsed her. George" she said
eagerly, ''tell me what it is. Has your
love grown cold? Treat me frankly
1t is better to know the truth than to
be kept in suspense" He kept his
head averted minute, his lip trem-
bled, then he said: "Oh, heavens!
Florence, how can you wear that mask
of deceit when l know all?'
''All!' she repeated, as her face grew
white. "All what?''
''Spare me the sad recital" he con-
tinued. ''There are some things that
are better left unsaid"
81 will not spare you. I insist upon
knowing what it is you mean. Tell me-
and at once. Some perjured villain has
abused your mind.f
"Alas, nor he said, II was an eye-
witness of it all. Do not add deceit to
your other crimes. l was there and
saw it.
''Saw what?" she cried. "What have
you seen? Are you mad?''
''Calm yourself, madame. I saw YOU
you, the wife of my bosom-when
you did not think my eve was on you.
You were on Broadway, mingling with
the giddy throng. He was hurrying
on. You beckoned to him. You made
telegraphic signs until you attracted his
attention"
"Merciful powers!' she gasped.
''You see / know ALL" he continued.
"You did this on the public street. At
hrst ne would have gone on and disre-
garded you, but you were importunate
You caught his eye, you beckoned. He
smiled, and you went down the thor
oughfare together"
'''Tis false, as false as"
Madame, it is too true; tell you /
