Morning dawned, clear and beauti-
full. The sun, fiery disk, sent long,
glinting lines across the water, and the
iridescence was n mockery of some
of the hideous objects floating on the
waves. A strange stiffness lowered
over all. Life seemed strangely, sud-
denly, interrupted. Only the occasion
al cry of cat bird was heard. No
sound of lowing cattle, no early matin
by the noisy swallows.
See, there lie two bodies, side by
side, with faces upturned to the sun
light. Serene in their last sleep, the
unhappy and luckless lovers lie, cast
on the beach by the receding waves.
Old Manuel was right. For it is
writ, these two shall not wed. To-
night they shall die"

hand and shook him off. Marie was
clutched in Andres arms as the little
boat put forth. Glode saw them go,
and he was glad that he and the wife
and the babe were to die together,
since die they must. Out on the wa
ter, Marie and Andre saw sights that
must have turned them gray. Bodies
flew past them in the seething black
water, while shrieks and means rent
the air. Wild echoes flew over the
waters to the lonely figures I'm the
boat. Every fash of lightning re-
vealed horrors afresh.

show OF braggadocio. The women
must not be frightened, anyway.
Marie sat rigid, her hand in An
dre's. Courage, courage, Marie,
Lowell" he whispered. IL knew, too,
the storm would come. I said &c all
day. But it will pass away. Don't
mind the gibbering old fool, Manuel.
Tomorrow it will be over, the sun
viii shine, the birds will sing and I
shall come for you in the evening and
we will take the lugger and cross
TO Grand Isle. We will take Glode
and the wife, for only this evening
she said she was longing to visit the
Petries." And so he cheered her, and
she smiled and comforted Globes
wife, and smiled and cooed to the
frightened babe lying in its mothers
arms.
Then fearful thing happened, for
beam shot by the window, on which
rode human figure-a stark. ghast-
ly figure. Gaspard, who dad been
watching at the window saw it and
Marie saw it too, and so did Andre.
Heavenly Mother" walled the girl,
us, pity us, and protect us this dread
full night
Old Manuel had seen it too. re-
vealed in a binding flash of lightning
"See," he cried, with skeleton finger
pointing. The sea is all about us.
We are being swept away. 1 tell you
the houses are gone. This will go,
too" And he pointed to the floor.
There, in a trickfing little stream,
was the water, and it came in faster
and faster, through the cracks of the
doors and the fireplace.
''To the attic, the women first" cried
Bizan, pushing his wife to the stair.
'To the attic" he Numbered. at is
the only chance" He drove Globes
wife, with her babe, up the stair, the
others following. Marie had flown to
Andres side, and slipped her beads
over his wrists.
eff we die, we die together" she
whispered.
But for answer he took her firmly
by the arm and led her TO the stair,
and she fell, half-fainting, into the
room in which the iucl<less women
were huddled, on their knees, while
low muttered prayers were ascending
to an angry heaven.
When the worst came, it was soon
over. The boat, Andre, the boat"
gasped Glode. Save yourself with
Marie. You are both young and
strong. You must fight for life.
Quick" He graspcd Andre by the

trail. He forgot what he was after,
forgot he had been hunting three
weeks for this very animal, forgot
that he wanted a rug for his office, and
even forgot that he had a gun. He
turned and sprinted in the direction
from which he came till it all came
over him that that bear was just what
he wanted. Then he stopped, went
back" said the guide, according to the
New York Times, land saw from the
tracks that the bear had gone good
deal faster than he did, and in the OPP
posite direction"

RODE ON BULL MOOSE.
NoVei Exploit of n Piucky New York
Sportsman at Churchin Lake, I'm
the Maine Woods.

Riding on the back of a wild bull
moose was the daring feat recently
performed by Paul Libby, of New
York city. Mr.. Libby made two at
tempts to ride the animal before he
could remain on his back long enough
to have a photograph taken.
This exciting adventure occurred
recently in Maine. Mr.. Libby, with
Charles Wake. also of New York CITY.
in company with two guides, were on
a SOo-mile canoe trip through the pic
turesque lakes and rivers of the Pine
Tree state.
They left Greenville Junction at the
foot of Moosehead lake, and traversed

And there, in the graveyard of Che
Mere, are among the many new graves
two side by side, with single cross
above them.
Never again in the days to come will
the island be its former beautiful
self. Such scars drive too deep. Time
may never change the awful, dreadful
memories about the land which once
smiled in plenty. Little children play
again about the vineyards, and other
youthful lovers whisper as they walk
hand in hand along the beach at tvi-
light, but if spirits walk at the mystic
hour among the lonely graces in the
marshes and in the humble little
cemetery, then you will hear of that
dreadful night, when the angry waves
rode over the island, and robbed it
and murdered it. Restful spirits will
keep watch, and if the waves lash
again into fury, they will be softened
and hushed, and so instead will only
wash away bitter memories. The
peace of God is again upon the island.
and in song and story, Cheniere is
again the vine-clad land of mirth and
plenty.
Once more the red-sailed luggers
ride around Cheniere Caminada.

PAWTUxET.

Owing to the unsettled state OF the
weather at this time many yacttsmen
paid their last visit OF the season to their
craft. which are hauled UP in large num-
bers about Captain Alonzo Crandsll's boat
shops. They were I'm evidence by dozens
all the forenoon and for a time the water
front was the liveiest part OF the village.
The open launch Ida. owned by Walter
l. Lee. was partly disabled off Gaspee
point yesterday morning by the loosening
of the propeller on the shaft. The ma
ture OF the injury was such that repairs
could not be made where the boat was
and drifting for a short time the launch
was taken In tow by the launch Ethel and
assisted to the moorings in the cove. The
craft is to be hauled ashore for the win
ter during the week and the necessary re-
pairs can be made then.
The Pawtuxet friends OF Rev. Herbert
r. Hutchins, formerly pastor OF the Bap-
tist church here. are interested TO hear
that he has accepted unanimous call to
the Baptist church at Old Mystic. Conn,
and commenced his pastorate there last
week. Since leaving Pawtuxet Rev Mr..
Hutchins has been assisting Rev. Edward
Holyoke In his pastoral worf at Calvary
church. Providence. where his absence Is
generally regretted.
The schools Of the village on both the
Warwick and Cranston sides Of the river
reopened after the Thanksgiving vacation
this morning.
The new chorl'v at the Baptist
church is proving an attractive feature OF
the morning service and are doing excel
lent work under the direction OF Mrs.
Frank Sheldon. A different chorus OF
younger people. under the direction OF
Frank w. Seabury. assists in the music
at the evening service. New hymn books
for their use have just been adopted by
the church.
