Tie poor distracted old man heard
tAe speaker in silence. Then he turned
and looked out 20 sea, where a few
minutes before the outlines Of the
stranded bari. might have been seen
through the twilight almost buried In
the whiriinE foam that howled over
the bar on which she lay. but now
darkness had shut her in from view
and the Only knowledge OF her position
was derived from the booming of her
uaiuutc guns across the waves.
Old Smelling, the miser. who. by
usnry. had nmassed immense wealth.

daughter abroad 10 get her out of the
vuy Of young man who loved her
With liie's devotion. but who was too
poor for the mIsers favor. Before the
barl; had disappeared from sight ter
rible tempest came on and she WAS
stranded. hopeless wreck
Five minutes OF dead silence passed.
The only noise heard being the boom
Ing Of guns \ young man burst
through the crowd and laying his hand
on the old mans shoulder said:
Mr.. Smelling. is 1t true your dlugh-
ter i on that bark2'
..Ycsi You will try and rescue her.
and then recognizing the stranger, he
said. '.Ohi It's Harry Danel Surely
you do not triumph in my dlstress?'
Heaven forbidr' was Harry's fer

Every bystander knew that old SMELL
ing had frequently declared that he
would rather see his daughter dead
than the wife of Harry Dane Now
the rniser answered with gasp:
..Yesi Only save her and she shall
be yours"
Harry paused no longer, but in a
minute his little boat was afioat, and ae-
rompanied by a solitary companion
but one fisherman, and he under-for
great obligations to young Dane, could
be persuaded TO risk his hfe--he set
forth.
The boat rose gallantly ON the
waves. sinking like duck the spray
from her sides, and for n few minutes
was seen momentarily cutting the out
line OF the gloomy sky as she attained
The summit of the billows, and then
she gradually passed into the darkness
and was lost TO sight. An hour which
seemed ten to the anxious watchers,
passed and no sight OF the young man:
.It was madness TO attempt IL, said
one of the fishermen.
Yes. but he was determined to
die. Hark! What was that'"
.Helloalr
Every eye was turned seawaid, in
the direction from which the hailing
come
Nothing could be seen but the white
foam Of The breakers and the lowering
clouds forming in the background
chaotic mass OF darkness.
"Harkl'' at length said another
fisherman, there it is again.
Every one listened, and now loud
shout was heard through the thick
gloom. A reply was quickly given and
then a breathless suspense followed, In
which every eye was strained to the
utmost.
See! there it isln at length cried
one. ..See just on yonder wave!
.Hurrah.n
IA rniraclei A miracleF shouted
the people. as they saw the boat rise
and fall on the surge, showers OF spray
aying over her, but apparently doing
no harm.
