. One nmmer moonlight night I waa
by the waves. 1 would rather be near
them on moonlight nighta than at any
other time, especially when broken
Clauds give the sty and the waters
variety. I never go to the hotels,
u ' r away from them as I can.
topplUi usually at some fisherman's
On this occasion I - bad
Ditched a tent on the beach and In
habited It alone. I was lying undei
my canopy, the flaps thrown aside so
that from my bed blankets only I
cnuld look out on the ocean. There
was the aky. light clouds slowly drift-
lnir across the face of the moon, the
line of the horizon dividing the llghtet
from the darker hemisphere. The ocean
plane met the path of moonlight broad
ening toward me from afar, the waves
lazily rolling In and bursting on the
shore.
I have wondered since If the music
of the waters put me to sleep and I
awakened or whether ! did not sleep.
At any rate, my attention was ar
rested by something white, at least
lighter than the sand, down near the
verge. I watched it There was an
occasional fluttering about It, like a
woman's skirts gently moved by a
breeze. It appeared to be about the
height of a human figure, though really
fa my perception, of It there was no
such thing as size, and was gently
swaying like a very young tree- shaken
by tbr wind.
Presently It moved. Then I was con
scious1 that It was coming toward me.
C had no superstitious fear. I was sim
ply curious. As the thing approached
It came' gradually out of nebula into
the form' of a woman. There was a
certain grace of movement, a lightness-
which, mingled with a slight rising and
falling, was confusing. Had the figure
appeared on. the water surface t
should bare- thought my eyes were-
transflgurtng-.asall that was rising and.
falling on the- waves.
It was only when It came neaii
that I distinguished the outline of a
girl's figure not a summer visitor, one
of plainer mold,, doubtless a fisher las
sie. She stopped a few yards from
me, turned unci looked out on the
ocean. Then, turning again without
appearing to notice or care who was in
the tent, she askad:
"Is that a boat ut there?" J
"What are you doing ont here at this
time of night?' Eto yon know what
time It Is?"
"No."
I drew my wstch from my vest
pocket I slept lhi my clothes. "It's
half past 1."
Is It 3" She manifested no Interest
at the hour. , She stood looking out at
sea, apparently watching for another
light at the boat
There It Is. Heavens, how they
bend to the work IT
1 raised myself.' so. my elbows and
strained my eyes to discern If I could
what the glrl saw. Surely there
was no boat out where she was look-
tog. The dark face- of the ocean was ;
expressionless except where the moon
light trailed over It
"I see no boat"" I said.
'"It's In OQtrough- of the sea now."
"There is but a. slight trough. Even
ff a boat were lost to sight between.
the waves It would reappear In n"few
moments.
She stood peering out on the ocean.

rather. It seemed to me:
"(.Hi. how black!"
The cloud was denser tloiu any that
had obscured the moon before. The
Inst words I heard spoken by the girl
were. They're.-comlng." and she begiiu
to move toward! the ocean, fading away
lu tue shadow of the cloud. When it
passed 1 looked for her, but she was
nowhere to be seen. 1 lay thluklug.

hen I asroke the sun was rlslnc
out of the ocean, while the waves were
plashing laaguidly. The first thing 1
thought ot was the girl of the night
before. I drifted between many opin
ions. Tosslbly I may have dreamed it
all. But never before had I dreamed
about ona-a stranger to mo-whose face
