From the others breast comes a groan,
a deep, prolonged one, and he saysi in an
altered tone:
LEAD me to her. God will not rob
me Of her now. Come along"
And the two pass over the wharf and
go down mo the cabin of the old boat,
from which the dim light is shining,
and there, awakened from her swoOn,
but still dazed and frightened, is the
fgirl of his love, the wife of his thoughts,
lying like a bli9hted flower
The father was the first to descend,
and he turned at the entrance to restrain
his companion.
"A moment, Ned. Wait a moment.
The surprise is too sudden"
The Young man drew back into the
shadow while the other lifted up the
woman and seated her by the berth.
Il am better, father" she said and
laid her head YEARLY beside the sleeping
child. But old Toms actions soon at
tracted her He was smiling, actually
smiling, and rubbing his hands with in
finite complacency. She said nothing

Aint you, Libbie? Sandy Claws brings
things t. chil'ren, and friends come to-
gether and news comes o. people that
aint been round for ever so long. Don't

She looked at him more intently than
ever, and there was an eager, appealing
look in her eyes.

Father, you have heard something.
Tell me, is it about him2"
"tout Ned? Well, yes, 1 have.
Now, don't take on, Libbie. You'll be
quiet and easy, like a good gal"
1T is about him! You have seen
HIM. You have met him. He has come
for me at last2"
She turned towards the cabin door,
and was stretching her hand towards it
when she was clasped to the breast of
her husband and his voice repeated,
''At last"
There were tears and caresses aud ex-
plantations. Ned had come back from
his wanderings as mate of the big bark
with promise of soon having the COM
mand of vessel for himself In the Joy
of the moment all the hardships and
privations of the past were forgotten,
and as the bluff seaman cuddled his
own child, whose acquaintance he then
made for the first time, he said to the
happy mother:
didn't tell you, Libbie, whenever
you looked at YOUR wedding ring to re-
member me, and be sure would keep
my word2"
She glanced at the tiny circlet and
her eyes caught sight of old Tom sitting
with bended head, and the tears stream
ing down his cheeks And as she
pressed her lips to the trinket she said:
God bless that ring! 1t has brought
US JOY and happiness on Christmas
Eve"

A New Way.

A correspondent of the St. Louis
Globe Dem0crnt who has been on visit
to the geysers of the Yellowstone VAL
ley reports that he witnessed a singular
performance. One of the finest geysers
had lain dormant for nearly six months
AS he approached it he saw a man busily
at work dropping bars of soap into the
crater "What in the world are you
doing that forI' he inquired. ''Just
wait and see," replied the man. He
kept steadily at work dropping bar after
bar down the yellow coated throat until
the monster be an to rumble and sput-
ter, and finally behaved in very bois-
ferrous manner. Eleven, twelve, thir-
teen, and, as the fourteenth bar was
swallowed up, away went the Splendid
15J feet into the air, as magnificent and
as grand as ever. "There!" exclaimed
the experimental stranger; 81 reckon l
have made as big a discovery as either
OF those scientific C sses, Wiggins or
Proctor, ever did in their lives" 1t was
an odd way of setting geysers to work.
