A PROPHECY FULFILLED

A PROPHECY FULFILLED
Lighting his cigar, Albert Melville
strolled lcisurely along Rocky Beach,
on his way to the little inlet whose
white cliffs were cleaning in the dis
lance.
The tide was coming in, and as he
lifted his hat to enjoy the frcshcning
breeze one could sec that his face was
very handsome, artisticaly speaking.
Still there was shifting and treachcr.
Gus look in the dark eyes, and which
portrayed but too truthfully the mans
insinccro and tickle nature. As his
eyes caught the fluttcr of white dress
complaccnt smile touched his lips.
Pretty Evcline Gray was waiting in
the little inlet and where she had
waited for him so many times during
the last two months. Albert Melville
knew, as well as if he held ii against
his own, how fast that little heart was
beating now at the sound OF his foot
steps lie could see, in imagination
the rosy waves breaking over the pure
check, each one brighter and more
lumuituous than the last. He could
see the. smile that parted the
sweet, sensitive mouth, and the
eager look In the Frightening eyes.

Unsuitable, But everything, however

There was a startled look in the soft,
blue eyes that were lifted TO his.

There was something in the tone,
even more than in the words, that

represent one of the largest and most
important Of the New York city dis
tricts. a year ago he was Il newspaper
reporter, known among his fellow Jour
nalsts MS an accomplished man Of wide
experience and unugsailable morals.
Except in the writing of city political
news he had no connection with poll
tics, nor did he possess any of the in
iluence which is usually deemed essen
tial to political prefermcnt, Moreover
ewas a notably quiet, modest man, with
hcpolitencss of Chesterfield, Here

looked upon his exploit as nonsense.

took a regular denomination, and
the other party put forward their man.
