and only goes down every day or so to
look for his heart that he has lost some

comes wandering back with the tide,
glancing over his shoulder through eyes
that are wet with the dew OF great
love.

the hotel property down at the landing

steaming cities have come TO its shin
! ing shores TO breathe the sweet breath
of the sea and feel the pulse of its
mighty tides. Uncle Nathan only
stopped a moment az the sale as he came
M the creek from his days pilgrimage
10 the island. As his eye caught the
] y
OF furniture and the joking jostling
crowd he turned and said, with voice
Y full Of pathos: "Well, it looks like the
/ old islands gone this time. We can
lool, on and long and hope, but the old
ocean is unconquerable She has her
way. Ahl man, but it's hard for me-"
His eyes filed with tears and he pushed
his little boat ON up the creek 10 get
away from the sound Of the auction
GERS voice.
Uncle Nathan is not alone in his
great sorrow The hearts Of thousands
who love nature and who with him have
felt the thrill OF her close touch on
those white sands and beautiful waters
mourn their great loss also. They will
dream Of its cool breezes. it's solemn
marshes, its sands, its tides, its birds
and fish, and wake in the worlds
fevcred life with a sigh and tears at the
realization Of their loss. The earth is
poorer for the ruin of that bit Of sand.
