ROBERT GRALE,
by GEORGE TR BOR.
Ccpyrighsd, 1913 By The Aatiors Publishing Company

There stood a rude and dingy hut
leaning against the caves of a knoll,
and built of sticks and boards thrown
! up by the tide. A naring light burned
within, and CLEANED through the crew
ices and the jagged hole that served
the purpose of window. A man dis
! heveled, gray and decrepit came out
and carefully drew to the rickety door
after him. He paused awhile in con-
temptation of the night, and listened
to the mournful breathing of the surf.
| Then he climbed to the topmost point
of the knoll and gazed long over the
stretch of water to the distant harbor
where shone the myriad lights of the
city, and in musine, said
"Ye're there, somewhere know
yer must be-drlnkih' and revelin and
spendin' yer bit of money in fools
paradise: while the neglected wife and
wee one seek asylum of yer decrepit
| father"
Then he clenched his bony hands
and muttered. while the night breeze
played about his tattered raiment. He
looked away along the ribbon of wind
ing white beach and deserted an atom
moving at the waters edge, growing
larger as 1t advanced; and he watched
it until taking the shape of a man, 1t
bore around the foot of the knoll and
disappeared beneath the overhanging
crags. The watcher descended by the
path he had come; passing the hut, he
waited In the shadow until the man
again appeared, then stepped out and
blocked his way
What do you want here?" His
tone was harsh and stern.
The other hesitated.
What have ye done with the wife
and wee one?" he continued, harsh
and stern as before.
She left my bed and board and took
the youngster with her"
Because you neglected and i'll
treated her and because you will not

her trouble, rot knowing otherwhere."

arm. she wants not you, she's III.

Il will see her-see what she
means" and he thrust the elder man
roughly aside. "You cannot harbor a
mans wife, There's a law Besides,
you quarreled with your own wife
don't forget that" and again he made
to pass.
Stung by the taunt, the elder man
struck out blow, and yet again, Then
they grappled and struggled fercely
in the moan of the surf beneath the
stars, until at last by a mighty effort
the elder man flung off the younger
and stood alone.
