SHE DARED The SEA
BY JACK NORMAN.

To Brittany, at the westernmost
part of France, came in the tenth
century many thousands of settlers
who had just left that part OF England
now called Wales to avoid the rule of
the Norman.
How strange and rude that Brittany!
How rough and picturesque her peo-
pie! arid as Brittany" says a
proverb; stubborn as a Briton."s re-
torts another. And there you have IN
a few words the most striking charac-
teristics Of both.
Fancy a succession of bleak plateaus
spread over hundred square miles Of
land, showing to the sun nothing but
the baroness of their myriads of gran
tie rocks, and the vegetation that can
extract living in the interstices, UNI
der the action of frequent sprinkles
and vapor baths exhaled by the Gulf
stream, and blown over by the ocean
breezes. This is the country!
Imagine an Individual. of mean size,
but sturdy, muscular, vigorous, and
seeming to have inside the skull more
elements of will, of tenacity, of OBJ
stinacy than the rest of the world.
That is the man!
The traveller In Brittany infaIlibly
hears the story of Marie Legoff. and.
told by her countrymen, it is worth the
trip. but we had better tell it and save
time
Marie Legoff, then fourteen years
old, was the housekeeper of her IA
Their, a fisherman Of Lannion, when
the. turbulent waves of the British
channel crushed the old man and his
boat on the reefs. The fisherman who
found the wreckage on the sands went
to Marie LegoH and told her about his
discovery.
Poor girl" he concluded, what are
you going to do now?" Then with
Briton brusqueness, You'd better GO
to an orphan asylum. Do you want me
to do anything about it?'
The sight of Marie Legoff was pitt
fal one at first, but her blood did not
take long to reveal itself in pulses OF
undauntedness, and presently, restrain
ing her tears, raising her bowed head
her eyes flashing a fierce determine
ton, she said:
Thank you just the same. John; but
the sea took my living, and the sea
shall give it back to me-or swallow
me altogether"
And two days after she went out to
sea with an uncle.
