So he made his way to Margaret
Radford who bided near the church,
and finding the announcement that
apartments were to let, engaged bed
room, and there was no grumbling
about her terms, for the Australian
had generosity all over him!
Then Herbert Seaton made his way
up the steep path he had been told
led to the "schulehouse."
In his day he remembered the local
cobbler kept school and turned out
perhaps poor scholars, but good fisher
men, and he emphasized his remarks
with strap. Seaton felt it now. Be-
tween hedges twenty feet high, up the
steep red path he made his way, and
at the end stood the schoolhouse, fac
ing the sea. He stood outside for
some minutes, brushing Precipitation
from his forehead.
Then he peered between the serrled
ranks of fuchsia and myrtle that stoc
on the broad window sill, and he saw
beautiful woman, Of nearly his own
age, who had blue, gentle eyes, and a
gentle face, and an aureole of fair
hair, that in beams of sunlight looked
to him like halo.
Small man and woman kind were
around her knees, from tiny tots to
girls Of 10, and she was talking and
teaching as only an angel upon earth
or a good woman, which is the
same thlng-can talk and teach from
the Book Of Books that lay upon her
lap.

A tall, thin man, deeply bronzed.
tiny crowsfeet showing athwart the
tan at the corners of his eyes, his fore
head white when he pushed back his
soft felt hat, leaned over the rail Of a
small pleasure" steamer that made
short trips between Bar Harbor and
Jonesport twice and thrice a week.
His hand was brown and slnewy,
like himself, and the cigar he held he
dropped overheard as the tiny craft
came In sight of Sidbridge.
Good God"-and there seemed no
SAVIOR Of irreverence as the man spoke
the words, and his keen gray eyes
were moist-"not speck of change
not a speck! No railway apparently,
no pier, no anything, after twenty
years! And I've come 10000 miles
to see you and | find you just as |

grown old, rot my heart"
do you get off here, sir?"

The purser laughed.
"They say of Sldbridge' that no one
ever dies there and no change has
taken place for fifty years or more"
"Ah, it's different on my side! Pn
from the other side of the world"
Herbert Seaton walked the plank,
the only passenger to alight, leaving
buns and babies behind him, and, car
rying his grip, he went up the main
street, looking keenly from hand to
hand.
The name on the few stores were
familiar to him. He nodded and gave
Good day." to an old lady summing her
self upon the doorstep, who returned
his greeting with no sign of recogni-
ton.
Behind the coast guards cottage is
a small square. You enter 1t from the
main street by narrow passage that
looks like a cul de sac, but 1t opens
out into tiny quadrangle, where tie
sound Of the sea scarcely penetrates.
The houses-all Of one pattern
are lime washed and tiled, with green
shutters, and the rust from the hinges
has stained them almost red In
patches.
And the man made his way toward
one with feet that Jagged. The green
shutters, the hall mark of respectable
ty, hung awry, and, their hinges we're
rusted. He turned to the next house
and knocked at the door.
At the house of his quest the front
door swung to and fro.

thirteen cousins of the third degree

an elder girl.

Seaton chuckled to himself, feeling
a boy again.
Then he went for a walk, returning
an hour later, to find school dismissed.
Margaret Radford felt strangely
lonely when her little flock had run

sad little look came again into her

VICTIM
Work of Dragging for Body
viii Be Continued

The work of dragging the river for
the body Of J. A. Rotan, who jumped
from the bridge on Monday, as first
told in The Journal extra on Tuesday
evening, will be commenced in ear
nest today. Mr.. Clark, Of Portland,
sonin-law Of deceased, will superin-
tend the arrangements, and it is
thought the body will be recovered
within few days.
The river is quite deep at and below
the bridge, and, it is said, is full of
holes. The current swings in along
the east bank of the stream, and nat
urally the body would follow the chan.
mel. The Workmen will assist the
family in recovering the remains.
Deceased left letter in his desk
at the store, telling his wife and fam.
lily that he intended to commit the
rash act, and asking their forgiveness.
1t was not found until yesterday after
noon, when Mrs. Rotan became
alarmed at the absence of her hus-
band, and entered the store, which
had been closed during the day His
coat was in the store, also his watch
and number of papers connected
with his business. In the letter which |
he wrote his wife he explained his al |
fairs thoroughly, giving a detailed |
statement Of the condition his fnan- |
cial matters are in. The act was pre-
meditated and carefully planned.
For a number Of years he had been
a sufferer with his eyes, and was
afraid that he would be totally blind.
This infmity, together with financial
'everses several years ago, led to his
