CHAPTER IL

1t was the most beautiful August that
remembered The air was clear as a
bell, and day after day the sun rose on
tranquil world and smiled at it for
joy. Every morning at breakfast 1 would
say to Charles, "Did you ever know
such weather, Charles?' and he would
answer, mo, sir, i never did. SIR" and
every evening at supper l would say, 1T
has been glorious day, Charles, hasn't
it?" and he would answer. at has, sir.
indeed 1t has, sir" My family servant
made a perfect echo.
The afternoon on which / finished the
first half of my book l sat for some time
on the porch outside my den, smoking. I
was too serene to stir. l watched the
gulls circle and skim above the pine
crowned cliff, and the lazy waves, rising
occasionally into sparkling white caps,
lift their heads and duck again like play
full dolphins. The tide was coming in /:
| could mark the great wet circles on the
beach as it advanced, now receding for
moment, but quickly recovering the
lost ground and marching on, steadily
winning over the yellow sands. 1t would
everything was setting in from sea to
land; the salt smell was coming strongly
on the east wind.
About 5 o'clock | shut the door of nv
cottage and started down the beach, con-
scious of no further plan than to board
the ship and, possibly, catch something
of the late afternoon color for my can
vas. Now and again l stopped to watch
small flocks of sand-snipe scurry over
the wet, glistening sands, now to watch a
wave recede and leave a path of opales-
cent pebbles in its wake. There were
jewels for all the world and to spare as
long as the water bathed the stones.
So, walking leisurely, / came In time
to the far end, and looked across the har-
boring rocks to the ship. To my surprise,
young woman stood on the deck, and
fluttering from a splinter of the mast
was white handkerchief. She was look
ing across at me, her hands shading her
eyes from the sunset glitter at my back,
and as she saw me look up she waved
her hand beckoningly. The easy path
to the ship lay through a small break
where the rocks Joined the cliff, but this
break was some distance off. With a
smile for what saw must have happened
to the skipper, climbed over the near
est rocks and stood on the edge Of the
little inland sea. Sure enough, the tide
in rising had covered the causeway to
the cliff, and was pouring in, fast filling
the harbor, like the bowl of flooded
fountain. The water was not yet deep ;
it barely covered the path by which the
explorer had come, and even off the
rocks in front of it it was scarcely up to
my knees.

was mildewed with damp and water, bu,
IN time, by bailing and letting the sun
IN, dried 1t out and found quite a hab-
liable apartment, furnished with table
and chairs and row of hunks along the
seward side. Whatever there had been
that was portable the first wreckers must
years before have carried off. All that
was LETT was heavy oaken chest, stud
ded with brass nails, now greenish-yel-
low, and when l broke the lock found
the chest bare.
My fancy loved to play about the
ship. Often l dreamed of her and of a
man who should come up out of the sea
and tread her deck again. He was al.
ways a magnetic figure, and l never
could resist the call of mystery to fight
beside him.

Shows Ills Nerve.

Mount Carmel, Penn. May l2.-To
demonstrate to his wife that a man
can endure without flinching, as much
suffering as a woman. Joseph Rakus,
of Exchange, a suburb, cut off the lit
tie finger of his right hand.
Rakus. who is forty-five, has been
married many years. The pair have
several children. The argument over
suffering began yesterday after the
pair had quaffed something stronger
than tea. Mrs. Rakus cited instances
of woman S fortitude. Joe declared they
amounted to very little.
Selling an axe, he went to the back
ward, and with one swipe cut off his
little finger at the first joint. Re-en-
tering the house he waved the bloody
finger in the air as proof of his nerve.
Mrs. Rakus told him to go out again
and cut his head off, but the husband
declined.

report lacks confirmation, that the
Roosevelt party will arrive at Nairobi,

OSCAR POGUE dead.

rlc5 Oscar Pogue, of Frances.
Ky, was born, Nov 7th, 1873, depart
ed this life, May 9Th, 1909, aged thirty
years and six months.
He was married to Edith Hodge,
Oct. 1904, who with two little daugh-
tiers survive him. He was a member
of the Presbyterian church U. S. A. at
Frances, having made profession of
religion in 1901. His pastor, Rev. A.
J. Thompson, conducted the church
funeral service, in q most beautiful and
impressive sermon.
His remains were followed to the
cemetery by a large concourse Of peo-
pie and laid to rest by his masonic
brethren, after a beautiful funeral ser
vice rendered by C. W. Fox, Master of
Liberty, Lodge No. $50, assisted by
Bro. P. X. COoksey and T. c. Camp
bell, of Dycusburg Lodge No. 232.
He was a victim of that dreadful
malady, consumption, and during all the
dreary weeks Of his confinement, he
displayed heroic christian fortitude,
even into the face of death he smiled
sweetly, and passed into the presence
Of his savior, as the babe falls to sleep
in the arms of its mother.
His family he consigned to the care
of providence relation and his brethren
of the mystic til, early in his sickness,
and thereafter seemed to be concerned
for the spiritual welfare of his friends.
He was jealous Sunday School worker
and an ardent believer in the principles
of the F. E. and &. u. and in both
these works his services will be missed.
A useful life has ebbed out in the early
morning.
