THE EXPEBtESCE: Or X DITX&.
"I would like yoa te go with me iad
see an extraordinary per-en."
These were the words that greeted me
on entering the parlor of mj hotel ene
Angus! dar. IV e had gone to an oat-ef-the-waj
retreat, a little hamlet on the
tea-shore. Oar hotel was a mere apol
opy fr the public baildings one fieds
now-a-days in more fashionable localities,
but then, we didn't want to be fashion
able; we wanted to go where it was not
possible to be fashionable. Go and tee
an extraordinary person! On the in
stant, of course, my imagination ran riot
among great names. Could it be that or
this General, Admiral could even a no
bleman bare found bis way to these d-dom-sung
shores and glistening sands I
Ton will tell me, at least, who it UV
I asked as we went along, coaxing all the
shadows we could find to cover us.
"Couldn't, for I don't knew his name
myself, or rather, I have forgotten it, A
Boston friend told me be was here, but
I've Ion the letter. However, that don't
make any difference; he's quite a public
character."
And so joa see I was left in the dark
until we came to a quaint little cottage,
that I should have known for a Down
Zoster's property if I bad been carried to
it blindfolded after a month's travel in
the South,small and squarend red in its
tints, and comical in its porch, and sub
stantial in its frame-work, just tuch a
bouse as loves to defy wind and weather,
and always does.
We sent in our card, and presently n
sturdy-looking man, with hair quite white
at the temples, and sufficient crow's feet
and wrinkles to make his lane a catching,
came to the door, both bands extended.
"I am real glad to see you," was his
salutation; "Dr. Jim has often told me
about you; and the fact is, I am so used
to companionship, and it is so quiet here,
.that your coming is a godsend. Walk
right in."
We walked into & tiny parlor whose one
large window looked tquare upon the sea.
It was very plain, very neat, very cool.
and all the chairs were easy-chairs; there
wasn't a straight back among them
"I thought I d get to work before this,'

jo6t behind that ledge of rocks, sheer
down, heaven knows how many fathom.1
Ilis speech startled roe. Whow&s"be,'
and what was the work he contemplated?
"You find it less difficult now, I sup
pose?" asked my friend.
"Ob, yes, the new apparatus has made
it comparatively easy. It's a beautiful
arrangement. I sometimes wonder how
-we got along in the old one."
My friend, here noticing my look of
inquiry, said, "1 didn't tell my In end who
is with me Uiat you were a direr.
Ah, It was all clear, now. If ever
my life I had cherished a wish that teemed
impossible of fulfillment, it was to sec one
of that strange, almost secret fraternity.
I actually jumped at the name, and the
old, ruddy face set all Its dimples and
crow's feet at work.
Yes, I've been at the business now
forty odd years; began when I was a boy,
and shall probably continue at it till I
die. Been all along the coast from Maine
to Florida; been in government employ
the. last twenty years; helped remove
ledges that were dangerous; restored
sunken cargoes; found treasures and seen
sights that would fill a hundred volumes
if I knew how to write 'cm."
"And what are you at now?" I asked.
"A steamer that treat down last month
a Florida boat, I think. She had some
valuable merchandise and some twenty
souls on board all down there. It will
lc my date to bring them up first, if they
are still en beard, then the lading, ami
finally, if not toe much injured, fasten
the mechanism for Imaging up the beat
hcrcoif. We bare done wonders in that
way."
"Ami do yea like the badnessf 1
akcd.
"More than I oaa toll, and always did
Hke it. 1 remember when I was a boy I
could stay longer under water than wy
companions. There' a foseiaatioa ia the
thing that is as stnmg now as it was then.
Yon sec we have a chance to do service,
though ofton it's sad caoagh, to be sore.
Hut we get used to that."
"Dun't yea see horrible sights sowe
