The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-11-02

A noiseless procession of dim forms
rushed after the carcass. The birds,
shrill with disappointment. darted off
to scour the neighboring sea.
Beyond the damaged boat, humping
against the rock, and the huge jaws
with their rows Of wedge shaped teeth,
naught remained to testify to the
drama of the hour save the helpless
baby on which the head keeper was
waiting so sedulously.
Already the signal Doctor wanted"
was fiurtering from the lighthouse flag
staff. Il would be noted at the Land
End and telegraphed to Penzance.
The morning would be well advanced
before help could reach the Gulf Rock
from ashore.
When Brand and Spence entered
Jones bedroom they found him hard
at work washing the child's clothing
'Shes asleep" he said, jerking his
head toward a bunk. Il gev' her' a
pint Of mixture. She cried bit when
there was no more to be had, but @
warm bath with some boric acid in it
made her sleepy. An there she is,
snug as cat.'
The domesticated Jones was up to
his elbows in lather of soap.
"Have you noticed any laundry
marks or initials on her clothing?"
asked Brand.
Eyes. Here you are"
He fished out of the bubbles little
vest on which were worked the letters
e. T. in white silk.
"Ah! That is very important. We
can establish her identity, especially if
the laundry mark is tksce also"
I'm feared there's nothing else
said Jones. 1--WE not looked very care
fully, as it'll take me all my time to
get everything dry afore the tug comes.
AS for ironin', it can't be done. But
my missus III see after her until some
body turns up to claim her"
"That may be never"
"Surely we will get some news of the
ship which was lostr'
Eyes, that is little enough to expect.
Yet it is more than probable that her
parents are dead. A baby would be
separated from her mother only by the
mothers death. There is very real
chance that poor Il. T. will be left for
years on the hands of those who take
charge of her now. The only alterna-
tive is the workhouse."
"That's so, cap'n," put in Jim. "You
always dig to the heart of subjec',
even il it's a shark"
"In a word, Jones, you can hardly be
asked to assume such q responsibility.
Now, it happens that | can afford to
adopt the child if she lives and Is not
claimed by relatives. 1t is almost a
duty imposed on me by events. When
the doctor comes. therefore. 1 purpose

looks after my own little girl. will

next week. Then / can devote some
time to the necessary inquiries"

So Jim now contented himself by re-
marking dolefully that had his advice
been taken "the bloomin' kid would be
well on her way back to the Scilly
isles"
"You must not say that" was the
grave response "These things are de-
termlned by higher power than mans
intelligence. Think how the seeming
accident Of fallen sail saved the child
from the cormorants and other birds:
how a chancelsea fell into the boat and
kept her alive; how mere idle curiosity
on my part impelled me to swim out
and investigate matters"
'That's your way of putin it, Jim
was forced to say. "You knew quite
well that there might be shark in her
wake or you wouldn't have taken the
knife. An now you won't have a word
said about it. At the bombardment of
Alexandria q messmate Of mine got the
V. G. for less.'
THE real point is, Jim, that we have
not yet discovered what ship this boat
belongs to-
mo, an what's more, we won't find
out in hurry. Her names gone fore
and aft"
'Is there nothing left to help usY'
"Only this

Brand passed a hand YEARLY across
his forehead.

was bad enough for me. 1t must ha'
been worse for you"
Perhaps the baby's clothes are
marked"
THAT'S chance. She was well rig
ged out"
Brand cast the shark loose. The
monster slid off into the green depths.

''S'pose her people don't show up"
observed Jim, what are you goin' to
call herr"
"Trevillion," said Brand.
The others gazed at him with sur
prise. The prompt announcement was
unexpected.
II have told you about the tabled
land of Lyonnesse lying there beneath
the sea-" he went on, pointing to the
dark blue eXpanse on whose distant
confines the Scilly isles were silhou-
cited by the last glow of the vanished
sun. "Well. the name of the only per-
son who escaped from that minor del
uge was Trevillion. 1t is suitable, and
1t accords with the initial of her prob
able surname"
"Oh, seer piped Jones. His voice,
always high pitched, became squeaky
when his brain was stirred.
That's O. X. for the IT, remarked
Jim, "but what about the 'E'?' Eliza
beth is Il nice name wheNaAiou makesG
into Bessie"
81 think we should keep DIP the idea
of the Arthurian legend. There are
two that come to my mind, Elaine and
Enid. Elaine died young, the victim
of an unhappy love. enid became the
wife Of gallant knight Gawain, who
was
ever foremost in the chase
And victor at the tilt and tournament;
They called him the great prince and man
of men.
But Enid. whom her ladies loved to call
Enid the Fair, grateful people named
Enid the Good"
"That settles it," cried Jim, brandish-
ing his pipe toward Penzance. II hope
as how Miss Enid Trevillion is asleep
an dom well, an that she'll grow up
to be both fair an good If she does,
she'll be better'n most women"
Brand made no reply. He went with
in to attend to the lantern. In five
minutes the great eyes of the Lizard,
the Longships and the Seven Stones
lightship were solemnly staring at
their fellow warden of the Gulf Rock,
while, in the far west, so clear was the
night, the single flash Of st. Agnes and
the double fash of the Bishop illu-
mined the sky.

need quickening on these matters.
There are 80 many phases of the
liquor traffic that demand notice, but
this one fact only will be mentioned,
VIZ: That the moderate drinkcr is
the worst enemy to the temperance
cause. The man who is already down
and III the gutter will soon pass be.
yond human reckoning He is a
bundle OF rags The saloon has done
it, perfect work OH him, aud you see
a finished product But the man who
take, q glass now and then and keeps
steady i, an invitation to the uuwary
to begin, and no penalty will be nj
tached. Let the practice continue and
the day soon comes when the victim
must give up the drink or his buSi.
ness, and the probabilities are that he
will give up the latter. The young
stumble over the moderate drinkcr
into the pit, and alas often, when any
of the number are reclaimed, they are
but n remnant OF their original self.
The powers have been dissipated and
the best of lie burned out IN alcoholic
fires.
What is the remedy: Total alb
stinencc for all No compromise
with the evil alliances for revenue, or
for any cause. Charity for the erring
must be shown, for the seller and the
buyer, and the Gospel of Christ is
the only power to heal, restore
and save. We are all partners in
the business of making drunkardss
