The Life Line.

On the coast of Angleshire the weather
in the early days of September had been
stormy. Stephen, whose spirits always
rose with high wind. was In condition
of prolonged excitement. She could not
keep still. At the end of the week the
wind backed to northeast and blew with
great violence. For two days 1t never
ceased. always blowing with steady per-
sistence. Then 1t rose and rose blowing
in fierce gusts. which seemed to tear
through everything and doomed high
overhead. as though carrying the sound
of grea; guns far off. On the Tuesday
morning the storm was in full sweep. and
Stephen was in wild spirits. Nothing
would do her but to go out on the tower
of the castle. where she could walk
about. and leaning on the crenellated
parapet look over all the coast. The
prospect so enchanted her. and the fierce
sweep of the wind so suited her exalted
mood. that she remained there all the
morning. The whole coast was a mass
of leaping foam and flying spray. and far
away to the horizon white-topped waves
rolled endlessly She made up her mind
that she would presently ride down and
see it's happenings close at hand.
When she had finished dinner she went
to her room to dress for her ride. The
rush and roar of the storm were in her
ears and she was in wild. tumultuous
spirits. She was "fey." All her youth
seemed to sweep back on her: Or perhaps
II was that the sickness OF the las. two
years was swept away. Somewhere deep
down in Stephens heart was a desire to
be her old self. IL only for an hour. And
TO this end externals were OF help.
Without weighing the matter In her mind.
and acting entirely and unconsciously on
impulse. she told her maid to get the red
habit, which she had not worn for years.

The Lesson of the Wilderness.

In the west the two years flew. Time
seemed to 20 faster there. because life
WAS more strenuous. Harold. being MAIN
" alone, found endless work always be-
for him; from daylight to dark labor
never ceased. In the wilderness labor Is
not merely mechanical. Every hour OF
the day is fraught with danger in some
new form and the head has TO play its
part in the strife against nature. In such
n life there Is not much time for think
ing: certainly for brooding. which is
thinking unduly of the past. Privations
he had In plenty. and all the fiber of his
body and the strength of his resolution
and endurance were now and again taxed
