ROBERT

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 faring light burned
within, and cleaned through the crew
ices and the Jagged hole that served
the purpose Of q 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 musing, said:
"Yere there, somewhere know
yer must be-drinl1in' 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 man, II
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 Ill
treated her, and because you will not
work. She came to me yesterday in
her trouble, not knowing otherwhere."
TITS a lie-I can get no work to dot"
and the younger man tried to pass.
"The Hes your own" rejoined the
elder, ever hard and stern. Not so
fast!" and he gripped the other by the
arm. she wants not you, she's nj,
and wants rest and quiet, and she shall
not be disturbed"
II will see her-see what she
means" and he thrust the elder man
roughly aside. "Yon cannot harbor a
mans wife. There's 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 a blow, and yet again. Then
they grappled and struggled flerceiy
