There Is a reef out about a mile from the shore, and during my lifetime I have known several vessels to be wrecked on It ' One of these wrecks occurred when 1 was a young man, and It bad a marked effect on my life that will never be undone. ; I was at a vary Impressible age, twenty, when there came up a fright ful storm, aui I went down to the bench to see It I lived about a mile Inland and stood on a dune looking at it There are some who love quiescent scenes, soft skies, tranquil waters, graceful trees, unmoved even by a brtwre. To me the most beautiful scenes are the fiercest. Standing there fuclng the storm sweeping over the ocean, I rejoiced in the lashing the tempest 'was giving It Neur by ' a wave would throw itself neolnst a rock, to be burled back against. the next .comber, the two standing a mo ment as If locked In a death grip, then both falling as If each had taken the strength out of the other. Another wnve would tremble, break, its spray shooting from Its crest and roll upon the Band, scattering like a bursting rocket. But this la not my story. The wind went down with the sun, and a full moon rose, its white disk looking down coldly, as If it cared for neither storm nor serenity. Near midnight I was seized with a desire to go down to the ocean and see the quiet skies above looking down on. waters the storm had left still rolling. What brought this desire, why I yielded to It I know not for I must walk a ifiile to the cosRt and" a mite bock. I had gone perbnpi half the distance and could benr that Interminable murmur ing of niofliilng waters when 1 suw comliip-'. lighted by the moon that stood almost directly overhead, a figure which by a slight Butter of Its gar ments I knew to be a woman. Surprised thnt one of her sex should be out on the road at that time of night I hastened toward ber to ask ber If 1 could not attend ber to where she was golug. As I approached her I noticed an unsteadiness about ber, a rocking. I attributed it to the fact thnt' 1 bad looked so long during the afternoon on the waves that their mo I'mm iirfc-ted my vision. Her hair :is i.upkc mill seemed to me to he blown like tin Fprny I had seen. When I iiii,e !';' r lir she seemed drawn ;. v.-ny . I ',.1 !.!. then driven toward : It pulled and pushed by the waves Then within touching dis tance of uie she stood still, the wholo appearing to me like un object wushed ashore, finally passing beyond the reurh of the waters. But oh: the pitiful look she gave me! "Whnt Is ItV" I asked, wondering. The wreck." What wreck?" "The Mary Bnrton. . She has just wme ashore." "Come ashore: Why. the storm was over six hours ugo!" "Yes. but it took the" ship's rudder. They lost control. She struck the reef and went to pieces. Their bodies are 8'jattercd along the shore. Oh, it is dreadful!" 1 started on. "1 must go," I said, "aud see If I enu help." "Help: They are all past help. Don't no. Don't desert me here on this lonely mad." "I will take you to your borne; then I will go." "My homo?" The melancholy with whirh she snld this wrung my heart " Yes Surely you cannot live fur from here." She buried her face In her hands ond soblied. Through sympathy 1 put my mum about her and drew her to me. Then I tried to take ner hands away from her face. She would not at first permit me. but at last yielded. "Heavens, how cold you are!" I ex claimed 'i-Tell me where i'ou live that Has It Solved. It looks as though Sin Clair's Pune,- ture Stop hod the tire troubles Bolvcd sat tight at the wheel, expecting a i flat tire regardless of Sin Clair's claims.

' 1 ran all the way to the beach, where I saw (krsons running back and forth dragging, corpses from the waves. A ship bad' been dashed to pieces out on the reef, and not a soul was saved to tell of the wreck none but the girl 1 hud met lu the road.
