In answer to their summons Mother
Senneville came hastily enough to the
buck door of the Hotel de la Plage, a
•mall inn of no greut promise. Mother
Senneville was a great woman, six feet
high, with eye of some ruminating an
Imai, the soft, deep voice aud perhaps
the soft heart of a giant
"Already!” she said simply as she
held the door back for them to pass
In. “I thought there would likely be
some this morning without the money
In their pockets.”
“This one will not call too loud for
bls coffee," replied Belfort, with a cyn
icism specially assumed for the ben
efit of the cure.
“Aud now,” be added as they laid
their burden on the wine stained table
“If lie has payers that' will tell us tba
name of the ship I will walk to Fe
camp. to Lloyd's ngents there, with the
news. It will be a five franc piece in
my pocket.”
They hastily searched the dripping
clothing and found a crumpled envel
ope. which, however, told them all they
desired to know. It was addressed to
Mr. Albert Robinson, steamship Ocean
Waif, Southampton.
"That will suffice,” said Belfort “1
take this and leave the rest to you and
Mother Senneville.**
"Send the doctor from Fecamp.” said
the woman, "the new one in the Rue
de Bac. It is the young ones that work
best for nothing, and bere Is no pay
rnent for auy of us.”
"Not now,” said the priest
“Ah!” cried Belfort, "You—you ex
pect so much in the hereafter, Mon
Bleur le Cure.”
"And you—you expect so much In the
present, you one armed malcontent,”
replied the priest, with his comfortable
little laugh, "Come, Mme. Senneville.
Let me get this man to bed.”
"It is an Englishman, of course,"
said Mother Senneville, examining the
placid white face. “They throw their
dead about the world like cigar ends.”
By midday the news was in the Lon
don streets, nnd the talk was all of
storms ami wrecks and gallant rescues.
And a few whose concern it was noted
tlie fact that the Ocean Waif of Lon
don. on a voyage from Antwerp and
Southampton to the river Plate, had
supposedly tieen wrecked off the north
coast of France, sole survivor Albert
Robinson, apparently a fireman or a
steward, who lay at the Hotel de la
Plage at Yport, unconscious and suf
fering from a severe concussion of the
brain. By midday also the cure was
established ns sick nurse in the back
bedroom of the little hotel, with an
English conversation book, borrowed
from tlie schoolmaster, protruding from
the pocket of bls soutane, awaiting the
return of Albert Robinson's Inner con
sciousness.
"Are you feeling better?’ the cure
had all ready to tire off at him ns soon
ns he awoke, to which the conversation
book made reply, “Yes, but I have
caught a severe oliill on the mountain."
which also tlie cure had made ready
to understand, with modifications.
But the day passed without any use
having been found for the conversa
tlon book, and sundry persons whose
business ft was came and looked at
Albert Robinson and talked to the
priest and to Jean Belfort, who. to tell
the truth, made much capital and a
number of free glasses of red wine out
of the incident—and went away ngain.
The cure passed that night on the
second lied of tlie back bedroom of the
Hotel de la Plage and awoke only at
daylight full of self reproach to find
Ids charge still unconscious, still plac-
Id, like a statue, with cheeks a little
bollower nnd lips a little whiter, The
young doctor came and shook bls he:»d
and discoursed of other cases of a
similar nature which he had read up
since the previous day and pretended
now to have remembered among his
experiences. He also went away again,
and Yport seemed to drop out of the
world once more Into that oblivion to
which a village with such a poor sea
front and no railway station or lodg-
ing houses or hotels where there are
waiters must expect to lie consigned.
Tlie cure hail Just finished tils de
jeuner of flsli and an omelet, the day
being Friday, when a carriage rattled
down the village street,- leaving beliiud
It doorways suddenly occupied by the
female population of Yport wiping its
hands u|iou its apron.
“It is Francois Morin's carriage from
Fecamp," said Mother Senneville, “with
a Parislennc. who has a parasol. If you
please.”
"No,” corrected the cure, “that Is an
Englishwoman. I saw several last year
In Rouen.”
And he hurried out. hatless, conversa
tion book in bund. He was rather tak
en aback, never having spoken to a
person so well dressed as this English
girl, who nodded quickly In answer to
Ills salutation.
“Is this the hotel? Is he here? Is
he conscious yet?” she asked in toler
able French.
“Yea, nindnme. He is here, but be is
not conscious yet. The doctor”—
"I am not madame. I am mademoi
selle. I am his sister,” said the girl,
quickly descending from the carriage
nnd frankly accepting the assistance of
the cure’s rather timid band.
He followed her meekly, wondering
nt her complete self possession, at an
utter lack of ceremony, at a certain
blunt frankness which was new to
Yport. She nodded to Mme. Senneville.
“Whore Is he?" she asked.
“Monsieur le Cure will show you. It
is he who has saved his life."
The young lady turned and looked
Into the priest's pink face, which grew
pinker. This was not the material of
which gallant rescuers are usually
made.
"Thank you. Monsieur le Cure,” she
said, with a sudden gentleness. “Thank
you It fs so difficult. Is it not, to thank
any one?"
"There is not the necessity," mur
