Mrs. Ellesmere was extremely annoyed

it was useless to fight against fate, and
that the only thing to be lone now was
to make friends with June in order that
the Hall might still be open to her when
she chose to go there after the marriage.
So, very much against the grain. she indit-

Brave Deed Of . Lighthouse Girl at
Matinicus Rock.

Brave Deed of q Lighthouse Girl at
Matinicus Rock.
Several Of the violent storms that
have whirled over the Matdnicus rock
have tried the fortitude Of the little
lmnd Of faithful watchers upon 1t, says
the Century Magazine.
One of these watchers, Abby Burg
ess, has become famous in our light
house annals, not only for long service,
hut also for bravery displayed on va
rious occasions. Her father was keep
er of the rock from 1853 to 1867. In
January. 1856. when she was II years
Of age, ne left her in charge Of the
lights while he crossed to Mntinicus
Island.
His wife was an invalid, his son was
away on n cruise and his four other
children vert little girls. The follow
ing day 1t began to "breeze up" the
wind increased to a gale and soon de-
veloped into a storm almost as furious
as that which carried away the tower
on Minots ledge in 1851. Before long
the seas were sweeping over the rock.
Down among the powders was a
| chicken coop which Abby feared might
be carried away.
On n lonely cean out post like
Matinicus rock a chicken is considered
with a%ffectionate interest, and Abby
solicitous for the safety Of the inmates
of the little coop. waited her chance,
and when the seas fell of a little rush
ed knee deep through the swirling
water md rescued one Of the chickens.
She had hardly closed the door Of
the dwelling behind her when a sea,
breaking over the rock, broke down the
old cobblestone house with a crash.
While the storm was at Its height the
waves threatened the granite dwell
ing, SO that the family: had to take
refuge in the towers for safety, and
there they remained with no sound to
greet them without but the roaring Of
the wind around the lanterns, and no
sight but the sea seething over the
rock.
Yet through 1t all the lamps were
trimmed and lighted. Even after the
storm abated the reach between the
rock and Mactinicus Island was u
rough that Capt. Burgess could not 70.
turn until four weeks later.
