times. A terrible hole was torn In
the abdomen and the flesh from the
calf of one leg was missing from the
bone.

The lighthouse disappeared; the

for the night to come when it should

But his own hand would never kin

The young man and the girl gazed
blankly upon each other. Then the
girl spoke.
You see," she said. "You must
release me from my promise, Ralph.
I cannot leave him. I owe every
thing to him. He has the first claim
upon me until he is dead"
you have the first claim upon

''Why should you be condemned to
pass your whole life here on this bar

But he could not persuade her.
With many tears the girl persisted
in her resolution. She would stay
with the man she had come to regard
as her father.
She went to Jim Thorpe and told
him so. But the burden on his heart
was not lifted. He knew that he held
her only by her sense of duty to him.
Ralph was to leave at daybreak.
The lighthouse keeper, who had
spent sleepless night, stole down
to where the girl and the young man
stood, locked in each others arms,
saying their goOd-by.
Go and my blessing go with you, !"
he said gently.
The girl swung around and faced
him. Father" she cried, 81 shall

And he turned and left them. He
could not bear to say more. He
knew that his last hold on life had
gone, as the boat that carried them
was going, under a fair wind, toward
the mainland.
He trimmed his light and filled the
oil reservoir and sat down in the tur-
ret. He looked out over the sea, over
