noticed the wretched old woman as she
hobbled along the street with thin, frail
child supporting her. They both seemed
fit objects for charity, and as | turned to
look after them heard the child say:
"Lean on me, granny. 1t is quite long
distance yet, and you are SO tired. am
strong; let me help you all | can"
Poor little waifH' was my mental ex-
clamatiOn. "She does not look as if she
had eaten a square meal for n year, and
yet she says she is strong"
watched them until they disappeared
in the ever restless throng of the great
city, and then, rousng myself, FASTENED
on to my office.
For some reason | could not work that
afternoon, and after vainly trying to do so
for an hour | closed my desk and went out
for mouthful of air. Lighting a cigar
| wandered idly along, scarcely noticing
the direction my steps were taking me.
Suddenly | halted in surprise, for, at a
quiet spot just off the busy street again
observed the little walf whose brave words
were yet echoing in my head. She was
playing quietly about some stone steps, on
which sat the old woman, her head rest
ing against an iron pillar and her eyes
closed.
As approached, the little girl started
up, making cautioning gesture.
"Pease, mister, don't make a noise'
she entreated.
"What are you doing here, little oneY"
! asked, as kindly as possible.
"Im just waitin while granny sleeps a
bit. Granny's tired, and she couldn't 60
further till she rested some"

Carefully balancing himself at mo.
ment when the schooner was steady, the
brave man was on the point of leaping
when the tip of the topmast broke, and he
went whirling over and over as he shot
downward.
He struck in the water, and for some
moments was seen no more. Then his
head appeared on the brink Of a boiling
wave as he was hurled straight at the
face Of the bluff expected to see him
dashed to pieces, but he was hurled up on
a sort Of shelf, and when the wave fell
back, there he lay, clinging madly to the
stones.
After some minutes, during which we
watched him breathlessly, he moved and
began to draw himself up, getting hold
with his strong fingers and finding little
resting spots for his feet. We gave one
great cheer, and then watched him in 81
lence, knowing he was working for our
| lives as well as his own.
In time he reached the top of the bluff,
from which point he was able to catch the
rope flung to him. When this was made
secure, we all succeeded in getting off the
doomed schooner, one at time, and not
life was lost.
Two days later, when passing brig saw
our signal of distress and took us from
the island, not single timber of the Fal-
con was to be seen. She went to pieces
within three hours after our escape.

At first the anchors dragged and 1t seem.
oil certain the Falcon would go upon the
tagged rocks that lay under our lee, not
more than two cable lengths away, but
the grapnels finally caught and held Sc
curely, so that by the time the schooner
had ridden for two terrible hours in the
very teeth of the storm we took heart and
were hopeful.
Then It was that ventured to 90 be-
low. Up to that time | had not dared
leave the deck, although it was necessary
to lash myself to something secure in or
der to prevent being swept overheard by
the swirling seas that broke over the Fal
con at every plunge.
The night was dark and the rain came
down in buckets, while the wind shrieked
in fiendish manner through the broken
and tangled rigging. 1t no longer thun-
dered, or If it did, the sound was not
heard above the roar of the hurricane, but
now and then vivid glare of white light
ming would show us the green mass of rae
ing water, capped with snow white foam,
that seemed to he sweeping past US with
the velocity of an express train.

to the deck, the captain at my heels

first mate as we appeared. I'm another

Then an unusually intense flare of light
ming showed us he spoke the truth, for the
schooner was being hurled through the
water Mt fearful speed, while almost over
our heads, it seemed, hung the jagged verge
of TERRIBLE bluff, against the foot of which
/ the laundering waves beat themselves into
tumbling foam, seeming to leap upward
and fall back in a very ecstasy of mad

"Hold hard''--
The captains cry was drowned by the
crash that followed, and the schooner

Opera House Saturday evening. The
Opera House was filled to overlooking.
When the doors opened at O'Clock a
neat placard on the outside made this
significant announcement: standing

great audience the house was very warm,
though all stood it bravely for nearly
three hours.
The stage was well handled and the
Interpretation good throughout. Be-

deafening encore from the solid house
and was repeated.

Sometimes you must long to see the bright

again at the placard. Without seeming to
notice his excitement, still feeling in my
pockets as il for money, | went on:
81 wonder how you find your way about
these crowded streets. You must know
your life is in constant danger, yet you
cannot see the many perils that beset you.
Don't you ever fear you will be killed in
some accidental manner"
He almost danced as he shook his head
with still greater violence, once more try
ing to attract my notice to the sign, but
simply added:
81 can imagine no more terrible aftiic-
ton than blindness. We're you born this
way, or was it brought about by some
dreadful accidentY 1t could not have been
an accident, for your eyes seem in condi-
ton. Ordinarily would not suppose you
were blind at all. -
"Well, amt blind!" he cried in dis

my hand from my pocket.
