The Lighthouse
keepersWife
She Was Easily Won. but She
Turned Out Well
BY F. A. Mitchell

George Tuttle was a lighthouse keep
er on the Atlantic coast. The tower
was built on a tongue of land. and a
few hundred yards back from it a rail-
road crossed the little peninsula. with
a bridge on either side. George could
see from the top of the tower in either
direction trains coming and going.
At first the young mamie was
twenty-five years old-was much pleas
ed with his position. He was fond Of
reading and had plenty OF time for the
purpose. The lighthouse library con-
sisted of a thousand volumes, so that
he was not at a loss for books. But
gradually loneliness came down upon
him, and after awhile he discovered
that he could stand his isolation no
longer. He must give up his position
or have a companion.
One day when the wind was of
shore and the surface Of the ocean was
like a lake a girl In a boat pulled
around the point SO near that George,
who was sitting on the rocks, spoke to
her.
You're a very pretty GIRL" he said.
She stopped rowing to hear some
more of the same kind of talk.
81 hope you're not offended" George
continued. I'm the lighthouse keeper.
You're the first person I've spoken to
in a week or more. It's awful lone

moving on.
II wish had a girl like you to come
and live with me as my wife. / don't
think / should be lonely any more"
She had begun to pull away, but at
this let the oars rest idly on the water.
where do you belongY' pursued
George.
"I'm the daughter of the chief of the
life saving station"
"Ohi Do you think your father
would give you to me?"
az don't know. You might ask him."
81 can't leave the lighthouse"
mot in the daytime?"
Suppose some official should come
when l was absent?"
The girl thought awhile. then said
that she wouldn't mind staying there
while he went to see her father. She
didn't think he would object to her
marrying, since he had a large family
TO feed. Then George said he thought
he might as well go now as any time.
The girl pulled in to the rocks. George
helped her out, got into the boat and
pulled away. He found her father
quite willing to give her away, and
after an absence Of a couple of hours
George came back with the news.
"An inspector has beer here" said
the girl.
IAN Inspector What did you say to
him?'
81 said ] vas going to marry the
lighthouse keeper. and he had gone to
see my father about it"
"Oh. you did. What did be say to
that?"
HE said It was all right"
Then the two sat down on the rocks
to get acquainted.
"You see" said George. "when a fel-
Ter is cooped up in a lighthouse he has
to get a wife the best way he can.
What's your manner"
'Madge. What's yoursT"
"George. You'll be Mrs. Tuttle."

I wouldn't be given the care of a light
