So astonished, nay, shocked, was Hen
rY at snch an answer that he jumped
from his tracks as If wave were about
to inguf him, whereat Nellie laughed.
Then Henry flushed with something
akin to anger.
"And that is all?' he asked; and after
slight pause, II think we understand
each other" he added, and walked rap
idly away.
To everybody but Henry and Nellie
the afternoon passed happily. The tide
had nearly reached its height when all
noticed that the horizon seaward was
nearer at hand than it had been. As they
watched they saw the sky slowly but
surely eat up the rolling waters, and
presently acress the pounding breakers a
dense and gloomy fog stalked in upon
tho beach, and In another moment,
wind driven, it had wrapped itself about
Lone Hill, blotted out the Point of
Woods and hidden In blank graynees all
the land beyond the bay. But it made
little difference to the party of excur-
sionists; there might be necessity of
waiting before venturing across the bay,
but that would merely prolong the en-
joyment, and so the fun went on.
It was some time between 4 and s
o'clock, and fog and wind and tide were
at their height, when man came trudg-
ing through the gray obscu1ity with>a
message that turned the thoughts of all
the party from amusement or patriotic
celebration. His message and tho deeds
it led to are well remembered along
that part Of Long Island, and they have
taken their place in the history Of the
United States The man was Keeper
Baker, Of the government life saving sta
ton situated at Lone Hill, and he
brought word that big vessel had
stranded about half a mile east of the
station. When the southeast wind
gathered up the dense fog of July 4, 1884,
Baker began to patrol the stretch Of
beach guarded by his station, and 50 It
was that shortly after she drove In upon
the sands he was able to distinguish dim
ly the outlines Of great boat beyond
tho surf, and he knew at once that all ON
board were In imminent peril. BE did
not say all this to the party Of e1cursion-
lists: one glance at his strong face told
them that he sought q volunteer crew.
He had hardly begun his hurried expla-
nation before Henry Martin had placed
himself at the keepers side. It was bat
a moment, and then the keeper, followed
by six stalwart men, hurried 10 the Sta
ton.
The surf boat was already on the car
riage, and loaded with all the appliances
for saving life. The men dragged the
heavy carriage over the sands, the broad
aanges of the wheels sinking but little,
and excitement Of the work making the
task an easy one. The whole party Of
excuzsionists followed until they, too,
could distinguish now and again duh
black shadow in the fog seaward that
they knew to be the hull of the stranded
weasel. Then they saw the experienced
keeper and bis volunteer crew push the
long, deep boat from the carriage to the
sand and into the surf. More than one
woman's heart grew faint as the valiant
workers completely disappeared In the
spray of the first roller that struck them.
Then with a great glow Of
relief they saw the A

An Open Letter.
PR0PRIETolss.

To "The Business Men Of Hot
Springs" petitioners to the "Hot
Springs enforcement League"
Gentlemen:-Your communication
praying the SAID Enforcement League
to desist from the prosecutions of VIC.
lators of the prohibitory law for the
space of ninety days and promising a
better financial and moral condition
of society in this city, through the
agency Of certain methods, which you
propose to inaugurate, has been duly
received, and will be placed before the
League at s o'clock this evening.
1t is impossible to foretell what ac-
tion will be taken. But, sirs, great
and grave accusations have been made
by men of brains and influence
against the leaders of this movement
for law and order in our community;
accusations of ignorance, blgotry, ven
geance, fanaticism, crankisln al inf
nitMm. Great emphasis has been
placed upon the condition Of public
sentiment. "l'ublic sentiment" gen.
tlemen say, "should control in all mat
ters of public interest" Now, since
public sentiment ought to be based
jured by investigation, | propose to you
an opportunity to mould public senti.
ment a.d at the same time show cause
for your present position. I, therefore.
CHALLENGE you, or any one OF you, or
any representative, now resident in the
incorporate city of Hot Springs with
two colleagues residents of any one or
two of the six counties comprising the
Black Hills Of South Dakota, to meet
me, with two colleagues, whom agree
to select from the six counties compri-
sing the Black Hills of South Dakota,
all to be gentlemen whom our respec-
tive committees will approve. in pub
lie debate upon the question agitatlng
our community, viz:
Resolved, That The hest interests Of
the people resident in the six counties
comprising the Black Hills of South
Dakota demand the enforcement Of
the statute known as the "Prohibitory
liquor law of South Dahota."
Such debate to occur in Hot Springs
at a time and place to be mutually
agreed upon, between the 22nd day Of
july, 1891, and the 5th day of August,
1891, or between the 18th day of Sep
tember. 1891, and the 1st day of Octo.
Der, 1891. Admission to such debate
to he free, but by ticket. One half the
tickets to be placed in the hands Of
your committee for distribution, and
one half to be- placed In the hands of
our committee>for distribution.
Calmly awaiting your reply, have
the honor, gentlemen, to be yours for
the progress and development of Hot

Reply to the Omen Letter.

To the Rev. }. w. Hancher, Presi-
dent Of the Enforcement League:
Dea. Sir:-Your open letter received
and contents carefully noted, and on
the part of the committee appointed
at the citizens meeting, desire to in
form you, and through you, the En-.
forccment League, that your PROPOSE
tion is most respectfully declined.
cannot see that the results of such a
debate would in any manner benefit
the business interests of Hot Springs.
We have now sufficient internal strife
for small city and anything tending
to increase that strife should be frown.
ed down by every citizen Of Hot
Springs, who has at heart the future
welfare Of our young city. Dimish-
ment, rather than an increase, of con-
tention, is what the citizens Of this
place are wishing for at the present
time and a public debate, such as YOU
seek, would most certainly do no good
in the direction of causing the white
winged messenger of peace 10 take up
her permanent, or even temporary
abode in our city. Talk is cheap, but
it takes money to buy bread.
With the greatest of respect, re-
main, as ever, you- friend and well
wlsher. j. w. JoYEs.
Chairman of the Citizens Committee.
