As Brave as Grace Darling.

A woman who is now assistant
keeper at White Head Light could en-
tighten those who wish to know some
thing of the experiences of lighthouse
keepers. In 1856 this woman lived at
Matinicus Rock, twenty-five miles from
the mainland, and inaccessible except
in pleasant weather. Her father,
Samuel Burgess, was the keeper at this
light, and his family consisted of an
invalid wife and five children, one
daughter, Abbie, being II years old.
At the time of the memorable gale that
swept Minot's Light into the sea the
keeper happened to be away. The
heavy seas broke over the rock, wash
ing every movable thing away until of
the dwelling not a stone remained.
The little ones hurried the mother to
the tower, and then crept in themselves
as the sea cleared the rock of all save
the stone lighthouse. For four weeks
they lived there alone, for no human
being could 90 to their rescue, but
night after night Abbis lighted the
beacon, and it never failed to shine
through the gale.
One day in 1857 Mr.. Burgess left the
rock to obtain hi salary and to secure
provisions. A gale prevented his re-
turn and the family ran short of food.
Abbie fashioned sail and her brother,
who happened to be at home, started
in small skif to procure food. For
twenty-one days the family lived on a
cup of corn-meal and an egg each, per
day, for the son was not heard from
until the twenty-second day, and added
TO the risk of famine was the suspense
as to the fate of their father ana
brother, for were they drowned tina
family would have starved on the desc
late rock. During all this time, at the
end of which the father returned. Alb
bic cared for the sick mother. comfort
ed the children and kept the bright
light burning to save the passing ships
from dashing on Mantinicus Rock. To-
day says the Lewiston journal her hus-
band is keeper at White Head Light
and she is the assistant, and a drawer
woman never lived.

Lively Fight With a Gator.

Tom Knott and Judy Branch, who
left for the Branch plantation well sup
piled with guns, dogs, ETC., had terri
Bile fight with large alligator, says
Florida letter to the GLOBE Democrat.
1t appears that tn boys were out hunt
ing some cattle accompanied by their
pet dog. In hunting around they came
across an immense saurian, but as his
'gatorship was engaged in watching
some calves, he did not notice the two
"bloods" from this place. The dog not
being well up in the gator business,
commenced the attack at once. AS
soon as his 'gatorship could change his
mind from calves to dogs he made q
sweep with his tail that brought the ca
nine around TO his business end, and
before the dog had time to think of his
part, made a snap that would have end
ed his career then and there, but the
gator miscalculated his distance, and
instead of taking the whole dog, tail
and all, he got his tail only. The dog,
being thus freed, started on home
run; but the gator wanted dog if he
could not get calf, and, therefore, start
ed after lin, rolling over and over.
This method of locomotion was so un-
usual that the dog became disguised,
and made such good time that the ga
tor gave it up and turned his attention
to his human enemies. They, in tnrn,
were so badly frightened they lost their
gun, armed themselves with fence rails,
and then the fight was fast and furious.
The gator would take the rails be-
tween his teeth and crush them up as
if he enjoyed them for diet. To vary
the exercises he would snatch rail and
sweep it round in way that made his
assailants give him plenty of room.
Finally, after a terrible struggle, he was
forced to go where all gators go, and
hunt calves and dogs no more. Messrs.
Knott and Branch say that he was, I'M
doubtedly, the widest gator they ever
saw.

an absent, thoughtless way with my dogs
and companions, or at Annie's side, as of
old. was just as exacting with her now
Us then, and she was just as patient with
my fretful moods as when she was child.
Gradually the old house took different
look. The old hall door swung open with
out the aid Of two or three servants. The
windows too could let in the sunlight, for
shining panes Of glass had taken the place
of boards and rags. One evening coming

came over mel The old moth-eaten furni-
ture had been cleaned and frightened, the
tapestry had been through the same ordeal
and was newly arranged. The old neg
lected piano was open and on the rack
were several sheets of music. The room
had such cosy, homelike appearance that
bounded away to call my mother, that
she might enjoy it with me- Taking her
in my arms l carried her down stairs and
placed her in one of the easy chairs, then i
went back to the door to take a survey.
While / stood there silently enjoying the
scene, Miss Everett stepped from the win
dow seat, where she had been concealed
by the drapery, saying:
"Well, Sir Lloyd, how do you like it?"

going toward her, but she turned away,

room.
"What a strange girl she is" l said.
"IIer active brain has planned and her
busy hands have guided all this work"
Eyes, she is strange girl" said my
mother. "She has given me new life since
she came, bringing in the sunshine, as she
says; not only into our rooms but into our
hearts as we'll"

and my mothers gentle presence! Then
began happy home life The evenings
were passed with music and pleasant con-
versation, and the dreary old house was
full of JOY and sunshine. One evening not
long after, as l entered my mothers room,
she said:

were hard to manage. She only laughed
at my fears, saying it was like difficult
problem that she was very much interested
in. believe she is interested, for Myrtle
is learning many useful things besides her
studies. She is delighted with Miss Ever

When left my mother I went TO the
drawing room. IL was still early, and the
summer sun made the room pleasant one.

my mother as she came to her side.
She gave me a modest greeting, then af-

young lady, shaking my hand with the
freedom of old. She seemed just as frank

After lunch, which was served in my
mothers ROOM | went down to the stable,
and finding my favorite horse there, l re-
turned, saying
"Miss Annie, will accompany you
home, if agreeable, and try the wild gal

Thus we took up the old life just where
it had broken off, when, at the age of six
teen, we had parted. No embarrassment,
no restraint but glad companionship
again, as in childhood.

or were burned in public. The priests took
active parts in these meetings. They uni
formly used their influence against vio-
lence and crime. But many were too wild
TO heed the admonitions of cooler heads.
Throughout Ireland and England the fear
of dynamite was strong in every landlords
heart.
This state of wild excitement lasted I'M
I'll May, when at last, after many over
lures and efforts to gain concessions from
the prisoners, the English government was
glad to release them on any terms. When
news came that the prisoners were re-
leased, there was great rejoicing Bonfires
blazed in every village and enthusiastic
meetings were held in honor of the event.
Then, for the first time, felt that there
was safety. Lord Waverland had been
away all winter. Early in the fall foresee-
ing the trouble that was coming, he said it
was too warm for him in Ireland, and he
would go to Paris where he could have
some comfort. / believe, myself, that it
would not have been safe for him at home.
He was stubborn and would not lower his
rent, or abate one iota of his inherited
pride.
AS soon as quiet was restored in the
spring and early summer, / prepared to
leave home, for my two years. travel The
thought of leaving my mother made me
sad Her life was lonely in that old prison
house, known as the Waverland Mansion,
with no visitors except little Annie Wren.
Lady Wren died while l was at college.
tried to win my mothers consent to travel
with me, but she would shake her head
and say, at would never do for me to
leave Waverland without my lords con-
sent He might come at any time and
fear his wrath. Go, my son, and the kind
Father who watches over the sparrows
will not leave me to perish"
So, one bright June morning, with n
heavy heart babe goodbye to my mother
and my little sister, who was my mothers
companion and comfort, and started out to
see the world.

CHAPTER my FIRST LESSON.

ChAtIhh mi rlh1oI lESSON.
The morning was very c-old The ground
was frozen and covered with a white frost.
] had been out riding, and as 1 was pass
ing through little village of tenant
houses / saw a man with a club in his
hand standing at the door Of one OF the
buildings talking tosome one outside. /
could not hear the words, but soon man
came out of the ltcouse carrying wo-
man in his arms followed by five little
children. He took the woman to little
old building near by and laid her down.
Then the man with the club and some
men in red coats put all the furniture into
the yard and nailed up the door.
1t was on my fathers estate and
thought if he kDew of this horrible cruelty
he would help the poor woman who was
sick So rode home as fast as l could. /
found my father just mounting his horse
60 ride away; hut in my excitementI rode
up to him say ng;
''Oh father, they are turned out OF the
house and the woman is so sick and help
lessf'
'NOut of what house' Where have you
been~ he asked.
Down there" pointing To the tenant
houses, "but you will do something for
them, she Is so sickr'
'fThere, take that, you meddling fool"
he said, striking me with his riding whip,
