A TALE OF THE AZORES.
The Touching Reunion of o Pair of sep
arated Lovers.

The Touching Reunion of o Pair of sep
arated Lovers.
Lyman Horace Weeks narrates in
Chautauquan many of the legends that
are current among the Azorians, among
which is the following, as sad as the
story of Evangeline:
Zone day, two maidens walking by
the water were surprised by band Of
Moorish pirates, made prisoners, and
borne away to Africa, where they suf-
fered the usual fate of such unfortu-
mates and were bound out in slavery.
One soon died, but the other was taken
through Africa, Arabia and Persia and
finally brought to town in western
China. where she remained, still in a
condition of servituGe.
Meantime, at home, remembrance
of her had almost persisted. But one
there was who could not forget, who
carried her image in his breast con-
stantly. At last, in despair through
constant brooding over his loss, he
gave himself up to dissipation, hoping
thus to drown his poignant grief.
Finally life became such burden to
Aluu budb NC JOlllcu IIlo army dS Jle
readiest means .of counting the death
that he longed for.
"The discipline of military life had a
good effect on the man. It revived his
lost manhood and led him to a sincere
repentance of his past wickedness, so
that, leaving the army, he became a
Jesuit priest, Jealous and devoted. In
a town on the borders of the Chinese
empire he was Frustrated by fever and
for long time lay suffering, unable
except by signs to make known his
wants to those about him, for none
knew his language. But one day
woman remembered that years before
female slave speaking the same
tongue had been brought from the
west and was still living among them,
though very old. She was senufor,
and thus, after years of separation,
wandering and suffering, the two
lovers-the dying priest and the wom-
an who was 70 have been his bride
were reunited on the brink of the
grave. They died in each others arms,
and the spot where they rest side by
side is pointed out to this day."

singer continued her beautiful lay; his
mouth opened, he moved his hand to
command silence, and his eyes bore a
strange, underlined look.
'Who-who-who- he
asked, in a concentrated whisper.
THAT is Miss Alice Stanley, the adj
vising physicians daughter; She is
now"
"Oh, merciful God" he exclaimed,
burying his face with his hands, lit is
she! 1t is my darling! Oh, God! let
her know the TRUTH
Louder and more distinct sounded
the words as she slowly walked down
the corridor, singing like some blessed
angel. Temple had forgotten his pain,
his whereabouts, everything, as he
wildly drank in the sound of her voice.
Nearer and nearer our room she came,
and with every step Temple became
more rigid.
Then she was just before our door.
Temple lifted himself upon his arm,
and in tones coarse with anguish, cried:
"Alice, oh! my Alice!'
She stopped, partially turned, her
face bearing look of startled surprise,
and then she quietly stepped towards
us. She could not see for an instant,
but as her eyes became more accus-
toned to the darkness she recognized
the frail, delicate form and pallid
features of him for whom she had
pinned, and with n cry of heartrending
anguish she flung herself upon the bed,
saying piteously:
"Oh, Jack, forgive me! Father would
not let me see you. Oh, forgive me,
love you, love YOU"
Upon returning two hours later
found my patient slumbering as peace
fully as child. His handsome face
was overcast with n smile of BILE
happiness, and the muscles of his body
were in perfectly normal condition,
as though pain was thing unfelt.
Fearful lest awakening him, I tip
toed softly out of the room and met
Miss Heath, with her soft, brown eyes
swimming in tears.
"Is there any chance for his recov-
ery?' she asked me, with bated breath.
~ am afraid not" replied. "Dr.
Stanley said he could not recover"
"But great load has been lifted
from his heart" persisted the SYM
pathetic nurse, "and that means SO
much, you know"
And the nurse was right, for never
before did I realize the power of un-
burdened mind more clearly than in
Mr.. Temples case. He began re-
operating almost Immediately, and
although he had n long siege, still, the
strong constitution, together with a
neutrality-suspicious. will, had re-
markable effect, and three months
later Mr.. Temple, supported on either
side by DIR. Stanley and the physicians
daughter, left the hospital man with
long and happy life before him.
As for the crime he was accused of,
he was proven guiltless by his rascally
partner writing confession of his own
dishonesty and fleeing the country, to
be heard of no more.
