He was a grufl' old man, with a shaggy head of ginger hair and a beard equally shaggy and unkempt, but with tan eye of true blue and honest frankness. He, too, had once been a pilot, and in those days had been a staunch friend of Peter Purver, the orphan girl's father. But since then the grim reaper had passed that way and made sad havoc with his heart and hearth. His second child had scarce been born, when moth- mother and babe were pint to sleep beside the slumbering form of is first-born; and now he was alone in the wor Bereft of all he held dear to himself, [1 reck- less and sought the oblivi over which broods the demon Drink.

This ma e him worse than ever, and forced him to pick up a recarious livelihood at fishing and doing ads jobs on the river. The lunatic asylum was no fit lace for. Maude Power, and his manh awoke from the torpor of drunkenness and declar- ed him a man and the strength of the weak. But when they talked of the madhouse as being the fittest place for Maude, there was one who came forward, anfl in y. voipg (_l_eep ‘1- ‘L- 1.---.. -2 .1) ‘7 The children with whom she had always been a favorite. even seemed to have notic- ed the change in her manners, and began to call her "Crazy Maud.” They would shrink from her in fear when she passed them, and if she did but look ugmn them with that absent gaze they wonl run away, whisper. ufi] among themselves when they were out 0 er hearin that she was mad and might perhaps kill t em. Th 2 gossips of the hamlet said she was “out of her mind," and with a “Poor weuch she'll soon be in the loo-natic asylum,” would usually wind up their moraliziug with such edifying perorations as: “ Lawk- a day! this be an awfully queer world for a body to dwell in, to be sure.” More than one blufl', old grizzled pilot passed the rough sleeve of his oil-skin coat over the corner of his eye and hung his head to recall the happy, blooming face of Maude as it was when Peter Purver was alive and outside Davv J ones's Lflcker. as, with a shake of his head, he saw the slender figure of the orphan girl leave her discarded work to defy the criticism of her friends and the, inclemeuey of'the weather that she might fulfill her daily vigil on the storm-rent you be 1’" she had been heard to exclaim.

Ever prone to reflection in brighter moods, she now abandoned herself to that absorbing pastime. which, with impercep- tible fauuiliarity, steals over the mind till the consciousness is almost withdrawn from material things and seems capable of hold- ing converse with the beings of another world or the ethereal phantoms that are born of the fancy. Her thoughts, in such a short time had grown wonderfully vague in regard to every-day matters, so much so that it appeared to cause her a shock to be aroused to the necessities of the body. Out. ‘ wardly she was calm and self-possessed, or apparently so ; but when any direct appeal was made to her understanding in reference to things around her, it seemed as if her soul was ebbing away in quest or something vanished in a haze of ether, which, though not visible to the sight, yet afforded con- cealment toan object which another and finer sense could detect. And, when called back by the discordant tones of an earthly voice, there was in her brown, lustrous eyes just that look of bewilderment which can sometimes be seen in the first glance of one suddenly awakened from a. dreamless sleep. Four days have eleceed aince the Alba- tross had entered the river, but no tidings of her missing passenger, either dead or alive, have come to soothe the dull aching of that maiden heart, so out of harmony with the jubilant throng. the happy nuptials, and from the ban ha of the skeleton trees a myriad of icic es s arkle and glisten at every break in the c ouds when the sun winks slyly through, and looking like the su ar filigree of a wed- ding-cake whenever he links, as they hang in fantastic clusters, perfect ornaments of Nature‘s handiwork.

He was ooh n fondly at the familiar scenes of his boyhoo , as they flitted past like they had so often done in his dreams daring by- gene years of his sojourn abroad. His mind had rambled on in advance of the ship along the shoreline, not even pausing in its imaginary flight to take apee at the pretty little town of Weston-Suga- are, so snugly ensconced betwee the ills, where he had often been when a d gbnt true as an arrow to its course his thoughts had flown to a hamlet on the banks of the Avon, where was his heart’s-ease and soul‘s desire. In the phantasm of anticipation, he had al- ready encircled the beloved form of his fu- ture wife with his arm and pressed her many times to his heart, when there was a sudden lurch of the ship to leeward which precipitated him into the Channel. The evening was equally and the sea chop y and rough. As he slid along under t e ship's counter and was whirled round in the eddying vortex of the vessel's wake, he shouted f0 . help ; but the choking brine of sea stifled his voice. and the shrieking wind in the ‘ ging oi the steamer stopped the ears of t e helmsman so that he was not heard. “'“‘ His first act when she had released him from her embrace was to take off his thick overcoat and wrap it about her, and then, with his arm around her waist, to lead her gently away, telling her as they walked along of what had befallen him thnt he did not arrive with the ship at Bristol. 1'" ,,!I.| . ..

At ‘ a glance from those keen, bright eyes that ‘ sparkled with love and joy from beneath their curling lashes, she was restored to a full appreciation of the bliss of that glad meeting. The spell of mental aberration which had nearly withdrawn her faculties from earthly things was baken, and quick as a somnambulist may be aroused to a knowledge of things about him, she recov~ cred from the psychological torpor in which she had been dreaming. In a transport of ecstacy, she si hed deeply and then burst into tears, whi e he, with tender solicitude, looked askance for a kiss. “What's the mate '9'? he asked, in blank astonishment t her strange behavior. “ I am Arthur â€"â€" Arthur Ll‘r'a'vori; don’t_ you know rue, Maude '3” :l‘ravers ; don’t you know me, Maude '3” “ Arthurâ€"oh, yes, Arthur!” she mur- mured, like one whose thoughts had drifted on an ebbing tide far away beyond her com- mand. His presence was palpabl obvious to her night ; but of late she had een lead bv faith rather than sight. All material t'ings had grown so misty and indistinct, that while she paid little heed to the tangi- bilitiee of normal life, she associated all the reality with what was within the realm of her imagination. It was not until he had made another appeal to her understanding that she awoke to her normal consciousness. With an impulse that made the word he uttered a thrilling cry, he found his voice and spoke her nameâ€"only her first name.

The one was strong (and contented in the possession of his new-found treasure, and the otherâ€"re- stored as if by magic to her gaiety of former daysâ€"was fresh and blooming as the rose in the consummation of love’s yeamings, a pair well calculated to refute without the stigma of words the prophecies of the village cronies who had destined her for the pre- cincts of Bedlam. a nautical knot when he was a boy.

The day was bright and clear ; the air was crisp and invigorating, and the sea was tolerably calm. A barque with swelling canvas was scudding alon up the Channel before a. fair wind, while 518 scene was en. livened by numerous seagullsâ€"the arabs of the oceanâ€"pouncing now upon a stray mor- sel of food, now gliding upon idle wing in mid-air, now soaring aloft, ever restless and vigilant in their search for food. It was in- deed a day and a scene to gladden the heart of one who in early years was nursed on the bosorn of. the deep. In an hour after she had touched at the lighthouse, the little boat, with her prow pointing ahorewerd, was rifting a track through the dividing waves, dancing buoy- antly to the rolling motion of the breeze and the sea. Seated in her aterfisheets was Arthur, full of thankfulness to God for his providential deliverance from death and for the happy prospect before him. In the. early morning of the last day of the old year, a small sailing boat brought the keepers’ rations and cheer for the week of festivity and proper celebration of the New Year. Cold and benumbed, and at the very gates of death, Arthur was soon assisted by the brave lighthouaeman into his boat and taken back to the lighthouse, where he received from the man's good wife all the core and cordiais his condition yequired. _ A . --_ â€"_w-‘ .â€"_~ wwuul‘lvu l‘r‘ “layu- 0n the second day he was able to le.ave, promising to compensate them for their kigd hpapitaljty. _ It came, for he had been seen. The door of the lighthouse opened and a ladder was let down to the rocks before his eyes. The figure of a man, clad in a suit of oilskins and sou’wester cap, clambered down to where a boat was made fast in a sheltered spot. Arthur waited while he got down and then hailed him with “Lighthouse, ahoy !" The wind had abated to a momentary lull, and the man heard him. , Returning a response, he waded into the sea, and then, without stopping to pull the anchor aboard, he cut the rope, seized the oars and with a couple of stout pulls turned the stem of the boat seaward and rowed swiftly to the rescue of Arthur, who, by this time, was beginning to drown. He could see the light of a candle shining through one of the lower windows of the lighthouse and then adually ascend from window to window ti 1 it could be seen in the glass dome of the turret. Anon a dazzl- ing burst of iight flashed athwart the water, a kindly beacon for the wary mariner on a stormy night. How it cheered his fainting heart! How he shouted loud and frantic, as he fancied the rays shone right on him and must reveal his danver to the keeper of the lighthouse ! But how poignant was his apprehension of its futility, as the sound of his voice seemed to recoil on him as from the side of a high wall. Failing to make ‘ himself heard by man, he prayed with earn- est zeal to the God who hears in secret for speedy deliyerance. thunder of the surf on the rocks at the base of the tower. The tide was out and the rocks wore sharp and dangerous, ofl‘ering very small facility, even in moderate weather, for an easy landing.

So bravely he struggled on, holding to the keg and using his feet as propellers. Turning his head as he was hoisted sky 1weird ona rolling billow, he saw a night which had escaped his notice until now that sent a thrill of energy to every muscle of his body. It was a lighthouse not more than half a mile distant, towering boldly above a group of jagged rocks, a bleak and‘ isolated ob'ect on the wide expanse of sea and sky. llis only hope now was to gain the lighthouse, and for the task of fatigue before him he nerved himself with might and _courage.__ A 1 Recoverin his presence of mind, he look~ ed around hm ou the an Waves.
