Ou ficven Mila Ihaeb, Capo May, stand a rotitih lookup houm built arnoiiK the nuiul dunes in such a way that only it roi.f und small portions of its wall urn visible. It is made up of wreckage that lias been picked up on tho shore, with hero and there a stick of lumber that looks a if it illicit buvn ronie fresh from the sawmill. The structure bit tho appear ance iif a Iiiik" ship's cabin. Ouhddo the door ktaml a bench, well worn by fish cruieu, who have for more than a down year looked ufler tho welfaie of the oc enpunt of this iinslest ilweilniK, who goes by the naiun of Daffy Kate. Dafty Kutn i a woman uhont 40 year old, lull, strong und healthy. For H years she ha lived in the houso on tho IkmicIi, and inuny timr bus alio holped the fisherincii row tliriiuh tho breakers to some foundered vesael and suve the crow. Shu is rational euotifih ou most subjects, but she Is u ennrtant watcher of the scu, and whenever a per son come to her door tbe first thing she ssys In: "Willie 1 coming lu tonight The Firelight i duo hero a little !ust 8 o'clock." Every night for 15 year Dafty Kato has set ou a stand built for the pur pose in front of tho (hair of her hut a lantern, which she say will guide Mil lie safely in if the Fiielight should hap pen to sail ill while shii i asleep. Tho woman's Mory I un extremely interesting and pathetic: one. Fifteen years ago she was culled the belln of (Jape May. She wa the daughter of a prosperous dealer iu oyster, who owned a number of sloops and wa considered rich. Kate's parents wero very proud of her. She wit an only child, and they in dulged her in everything that would add to her pleasure. There were two suitor for her band. One wit a thrifty young merchant in u small town near Cape May, tho other wa the roll of an old sea cuptuin whose day of ucllvity were over und who lived a quiet life with his only sou und a daughter. A strong at tachment sprung tip Is'twcen Kate und tho flfhcrnmii'a daughter, unit wheu the flhlier man's sou caino borne from a Toy age to tho western ishtud he promptly fell iu lnvo with Kate. Kute's parent were nmbition for her to marry money, and they insisted thut she should givo the fisherman's son a cold shoulder and encourage tho young merchant, uvd the girl refused to do so. The name of the niun to w hom Kato had given her heart wa William King, and wheu he sailed uway one day on a trip a mate of thebrigantinoea Fouiu she was his promised wife. Kate's father und mot her woroghtd to see William go, for that wonld give tho young merchant uu opportunity to press bis suit, und he did, but Kate wu true to the fisherman's sou and would have nothing to do with tlx) man of her par ents' choice, William King's voyugo took him tu Chi im, and howa tn lie gone something liku 18 mouth. Wheu Kato' parent found that she would not marry the man, they bad chosen for her, they be came very angry and turned her out of doors, expecting no doubt, tlmt kIio would repent and do as they wanted her to. Hut the girl was not made of that sort of stuff. Win went to live with the cap tain' family und lcnniuicd there for nearly two years, waiting for her sailor lover to return, but he didn't come. One day it report touched I'upo May thut the brigautino Sen Foam bad fouu- tiered somewhere in the vicinity of the Falkland islands, and that all ou board wero lost. The story bad the effect of prostrating Kate, who lay for several mouth itt the point of death, but the finally recovered. It wit noticed that tho girl' mind had been seriously utToctod. She apHur cil to be rational enough on all subject but that of her lover' return. She in sisted that be would return and insisted upon setting a light on a stand on tbe beach every night so that it would ho a guide to him. With their daughter's misfortune the heart of Kate's parents softened, and they insisted on her coming home with them to live, but she refused to do so, protecting that sho must stay on the bench, where she could "watch for Willie" all tho time. She refused an offer made by her father to build her a nice cottage on the sand. Sho said she didn't want any comfort that Willie eouhlu't enjoy, and so one day the llsh eruieu built it rough structure, uud Knte took up her residence there. The cuplaiu's daughter spent a good deal of time with her for two or three years, but sho finally got married and weut at a distance to live. The old cap tain died. Kate' parents crossed the dark river and the young woiuuu was left alone. Kate's parents left an estate Tallied at several thoufiind dollar, and she was tho only heir, but slit) refused tu touch a K'uuy of it until Willie cuino back to eujoy it with her. It was thought that the girl's mental condition might improve if she was treated at a sanitarium, and she was hut up in one for three mouths, but she begged so hard to he allowed to con tinue her vigil that she was finally al lowed to returu to her humble home ou the beach, Kate supported herself by fishing and accept ins; favor from the sympathetic fishermcu, who haled after her with a rare that was almost affectionate iu its nature, and she became au expert oars- woman, and could manage sailboat equal to the beat of them. Seven Mile Deacb is wild place Iu the time of a storm. It is opeu to the ooean, and good many times the ocean t that point gets exceedingly nasty. A good many Tessels bave foundered there, and the fishermen along the shore have organized a sort of independent life sav ing crew, and they have saved good many lives iu the lust ten yeurs. Two weeks ago, daring a blizzard thut (wept op the coast, a three masted schoonrr struck tbe bur off Seven Mile Iieach. The wind was blowing strong from the southeast. She struck about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and Dafty Kate was the first to discover her. She gave the alarm, and the fishermen made ready to go to the assistance of the crew, who were helpless iu tbe rig- Kato took her place, as usual, in the bout thut was launched, and the start wus tnude for the vessel. It was a hard fight, for the waves were running like small mountains, and the bout iu which the plucky fishermen were was a large yawl, which is a good sea boat, but oot as safe as a lifeboat. The vessel wus rupidly sinking in the land and bud careened so thut her deck was completely submerged. It was evi dent thut she would aoou go to piece, and the men in the bout worked like beaver to reach her. There were five men in the rigging, and their shouts for help could be hcurd abovo the roar of tho water. It was a deaiM-rute buttle, but finally tbe yawl got neur enough the foundered cruft to uable the occupunts to muke themselves heard. "You'll have to Jump und tuke chance on our picking you up I" shout ed one of the bout's crew. "All right," cume the reply. One after another of tbe men jumped into the seething waves and wu picked OP. The lust man wu uot us easily caught as the others. Ho was carried shoreward by a strong roller, but he managed to keep his head above water ontil the boat got mar enough to him to peruiit of one of the. men reaching him. As he was being hauled over the side a wave threw the boat against bis head ami rendered him senseless. The rescued suilors were lauded sure ly, and the injured man was tuken to Dufty Kate's but and a physician sum moned a soou a possible. It was found thut the man's skull hud been fractured by coming lu contact with tho boat, and the doctor was doubtful to what extent he was injured. Three duys the suilor luy unconscious, and all the time Kate wu giving him all the attention possible. On the morn ing of the fourth day he opened hi eye, and oiio of the suilors who wus sitting neur him said: "Do you know me, Jucki" Tho wounded mun looked at him in a dazed wuy und flnully answered: "My mime Isu't Juck. Who are you?" "Ho ain't straight yet," said the sailor to one of tho other uieu who wu funding near. "Who are you?" asked the sick mun iu as strong a voice as he could muster. Kute, who was engaged at prewiring Koine food, stepped quickly over to the cot where the man lay, ami taking hi fare between her hands, looked intently into hi eye for a few second, then said, "Willie, Willie, it's you ut hist," and then she fell to the floor iu a faint. The astonished suilors got the woman dut of the swoon as soou us possible, and ugaiu she stepped to the cot. "Yes, it's Willie," she repeuted to herself, and tho man eyed her sharply u if ho wu struggling to remember something. Finally ho said: "Yes, that's my name. It ain't Juck." "Dou't you know Kate?" oskod the woman eagerly. The sick mun attempted toruise him self ou hi elbow, but tho effort wa too much for him, uud he full buck sense lean. The man proved to be Dufty Kate's long lost abseut lover, William King. Ho was shipwrecked on the voyage to China 15 yeurs ago, und remembers nothing of the time between tlieu und tho day that Kato recognized him. His suilor companions say they only knew him u John Kane. The physicians think thut when the man wu ship wrecked he received a nervous shock that wiped out from his memory nil the event of the past, uud that tho wound iu hi bend brought him back to where be wus 1 5 yeurs ngo. Now Willie uud Kute are to be mar ried just a soon its the mail i well t uougli, and Kate ha taken the light in from iu front of the door of her humble homo on tho beucb. Pt. Louis Ulobo Dcuiocrut. How Oatrlrlira Ar lMurkrd. Iu South Africa it wa originally (ho custom of tho ket'iHT to coax the ostrich to come toward him by throwing to it some com, and then wheu tho bird had it bead dowu the keeper would catch it by the neck. At the same moment sev eral men would take hold firmly of it leg und compel it tosquut dow n. Then ltd tail and wing feathers would bu plucked. Another practice, was to givo the os trich some dainties., and while it was engaged iu eating them the keeper with a sharp kuife would cut the feathers close to the skin. Subsequently iu Al giers a box was devised with movable sides, into w hich the ostrich wu driven aud tho feathers then extracted. The directions given wero that the feather must bo caught as ucar the skill a possible uud pressed gently a if to stick them farther into the rlesh, then twisted half way round. This move ment dislodges the feather from it socket easily aud without wounding the os trich. A certain degree of dexterity is required for this operation, which can, however, bo rapidly performed after a little practice. . . . .. If you ask the heavy villain why be doesn't smoke cigars ou the stage, he will tell you that no property man, however important the company may lie, w ill consent to supply cigar. Cig arettes are much cheaper, aud the stage villain who defies all traditions and smokes cigar always docs so at his owu expense. Aud this is rather expensive, inasmuch as the villuin of the drama usually wears a dress suit, is supposed to be plentifully supplied with ill got ten gains, aud only tukes two or three puffs at whatever he is smoking before throwing it away. Until the property mau volunteers to furnish cigars we must be content with the cigarette smoking stage villains. Fbiladelpuia Kecord. QUITE A RARITY. Two White rcac-mk. Are Owned In .New ork Cltj.
