From Bitite
Uo Man
tOrlslnal.J
The mutineers liad killed tbo captain,
two mates ntiil won tho Alldn. Tbo
third mate, Edward Webster, bud glv
en them w much trouble, kilting two
of tbclr number, that ho wns reserved
for a death by rawc prolonged torture.
They were trying to devise something
unlquo. When passing an Island one of
tlnun wild:
"I tell you, nmtes, what we'll da.
1aVk take him ashore and when the
tide's out bury him up to bis neck In
tho saud. Then when It turns he'll
get tho slowest drowning man ever
had."
There wns u shout of approval to
this, and govern! of the men went for
ward to drop the anchor while others
lowered a boat from tho davits. When
all wns ready Webster was put Into the
boat nud rowed ashore. The tide had
Just passed the flood, and it would bo !
eleven hours before another high wa-'
tor. The mutineers dug n bole nt tho '
highest line of foam nud put their cap i
tlvo in It, leaving his head five, hlsj
nnns pinned close to his sides. Filling (
In the sand, they stamped it dowu,
nbout him so that it was impossible;
for him to move. Then they took to
their boat, guying him as they pulled,
away.
So long as Webster had them and tho I
ship to look at his mind did not wholly
rest upou his condltign. Ho watched
them till they went aboard, saw them
raise the anchor and sail away, keep,
lug his mind upon them till the last
sails.
Abovo the horizon where tho bark
had disappeared hung a dark cloud
like a sea gull with outstretched wings.
Then there .was a faint flash of light
"ulng. "There'll be a storm, thought
the captive, "and It will shorten this,
agony, driving the tide in earlier and
higher. May it como quickly."
It was C o'clock in the evening when
Webster was burled, and till midnight
a threo-quarter moon sailed between
black, ragged clouds, while occasion
ally a flash of lightning added to the
terrlblo splendor of tho scene. It was
tho ocean tho black, heaving, tum
bling ocean Its merciless waves fall
ing heavily on the beach with monot
onous regularity that was tha .chief
orrorrwTle''csptivo watched the re
ceding tide, saw it turn and then crawl
slowly upon him. No stealthy Jungle
beast could be half so terrible.
And what was his chief thought for
the world which he was about to leave?
Alas for humanity, tbo Instinct of the
brute creation predominated. With his
Bufferings was mingled n hatred for
tho men who had caused it At such
lutervals as his mind reverted to aught
but his situation it fell upon methods
of revenge he would delight to Inlllct
on his murderers.
Slowly tho relentless ocean advanced.
Hnd it life It would not luivcbcen so
awful. Its unreasoning. Inevitable pur-
w-e wns Its greatest horror. lie knew
that ho was helpless, but could not re
froin from an effort to free himself.
Uml ho been able to move even lnftul-
tcslmully he might In time loosen the
Hand about him. It was his inability
to btlr at nil that pinioned him.
Soon after midnight tho storm burst
As the tldo rolled lu the breukerH In
creased in size and strength. Then
caino tho dawn of day. By this tlmo
tho extreme lino of foam encircled tho
captive's neck.
And now cumo a ray of hope. Web
ster noticed that when tho first wavo
to reach him receded It took with It
Hand from under his chin and left sand
at the back of his neck. Another wave
came and took moro from in front
leaving more behind. Then ns the seeth
ing foam passed over hlin ho held his
breuth, regaining It when the Water
hud withdrawn. Each receding wuvo
piled sand behind and scooped sand In
trout Ho bent forward; his nnns wero
loosened; he dragged himself from his
hole.
He went to the crest of a dimo and,
throwing himself down, slept When
1io awoke tho tempest had lulled, but
tho ocean was 'chaflng moro fiercely
than before. Frpm his elevated posl
'tlon ho saw a mllo to his loft a atrand
cd ship and kuew from, her rigging
that ho was fho Alida. Ho ran 'down
to a point opposite her and saw men
putting off on a irnf t It tumbled for u
moment pn the tjurl of a comber, then
unsized, leaving its crow Jn the water.
Webster saw a man being driven to J

wns thrown senseless on tho beach and
was about to bo carried back when
Webster dashed In and saved hhn. A
third waa swimming on tho breakers.
At tho risk of his liro Webster wont
out beyond a foothold and drugged
him In. Tliciv wero ten .nen on tho
raft, nud those three were nil that

Then tho threo men who wero saved
itood before their rvwuer, whom they
had intended to barbarously murder.
"Men," Webster said, "last night
when I saw the black fiend coming to
drown mo I longed to torture you to
death. That, I suppose, Is tho bruto In
me. Thn when I saw you struggling
for life I felt something move mo to
pull you out That, I suppose, Is tho

living who should have been dead."

A LABOR DAY
ROMANCE
(Original.
Reginald Atwater wns what 'the
glrla cull a catch. Thirty years old,
strong and hearty, fnlrly good looking,
he possessed S-iOO.OOO in his own right
Tlw nearest girl to the prize was Mar
ian Wymnu. .Marian and her mother
possei-ed Just enough Income to enn
Me them to move lu the best MK'lety, to
belong to the country club nud to re-!-uru
their Invitations by an occasional
ifternoon ten.
Atwater, during July nud August,
liad been flitting about very much to
his own liking and very much to the
distress of Marian Wyman. who looked
upon his freedom as she would upon
tint of an rccaix.'d canary, thinking
that he might nt any time be sunrvil
by some lmecunlous fortune hunter.
She bn-nthed more freely when he re
turned to his home and spent his tlm
with her either on her piazza or on
that of the club. This It must be a1
tnltted was because most of those with
whom he was Intimate were still in
the country.
Miss Wyman had not discovered the
art of pleasing a man. She made tho
fatal mlstako of attempting to make
herself pleasing, whereas she should
have made tho man pleasing, not to
her. but to himself. She overrun her
slender Income by buying articles of
dress she could not afford; she sought
td convince Atwater df her common
sense, her prudence, her wit in short
all the accomplishments that may ho
considered desirable In a wife.
At tlila tall end of the butlng season
that is, for peoplo of moderate In
comes during tho short period prior
to Atwate?s departure for his hunting
club, Miss Wyman wns very much put
but by tho appearance of a country
cousin. Miss Lucy Trimble. Tho Wy-j
mans were under pecuniary obllga-j
tions to Miss Trimble's father, Mrs.
Wyman's brother, for a temporary
loan which was now of five years'
standing, and Invited Lucy td be with
them for a fortnight's annual visit in
lieu of interest She hnd been Invited
for tho last two weeks In July, when
no one wns at home, but for some rea
son liad deferred her visit till the 1st
of Septemlwr. Her coming halved tho
bourn Miss Wymnn could spend with
Mr. Atwater because she knew he
would not countenance her shoving
aside n guest
What was deficient ns nn art In the
one was present naturally in tho other, j
Lucy Trimble luid never met so grand !
n man ns Atwutcr. She sat lu hU
presence like the timid little mouwo,
she was, her eyes fixed on him In ad j
miration nnd wonder. He never made
n remark but she fancied it must con
tain something of profundity. She did !
not talk to him, but listened with thei
deepest Interest to what ho said, her
only remarks being sincere expressions ,
of admiration for his learning, his ver
satility. Atwater hnd been looking all
his life for some one to appreciate him ,
us he appreciated himself. Here was
a simple country girl who not only hnd '
discovered what others had failed to
discover, but was suQiclcutly Ingenu
ous not to be able to conccu! her ap
preciation for him.
"Oh. Mr. Atwater." she said, "you
ought to be nshamed of yourself to be
content with society and hunting when
you would so stiluo lu uny profession!
Who knows but you might bo prist
dentr
Atwater laughed, but he was delight
cd. IIo hud often thought of taking t leave his companion. Itenlly they were
up politics, but refrained from doing J sighs of repentance. IIo was burdened
bo because tho country gentlemen of with tho thought that ho hud yielded
America do not run for congress iih to temptation and hud won a heart

Trl.nblo and considered how he could j girl. She wiib stirring up tho dead

"I l.ie it," he said after a great' "I suppose wo must say good by here,"

The outing wan ended, Tho party

Inst train to gti to the elty that day or
the parly would huvewnltr-l for n
Inter one. Suddenly t.ttcy Trimble put
lior blind to her tn'lt nml lUiitooiiettl
that she hnd left her wntoh nt the ho
tel. There remained tlfteeii minute
Wore train time, nud Atwater offered
to go -nut get the watch. t,uoy de
clared that she alone could tlnd It The
two went together They fouiid the
Witch and started to return to the sta
tlon. The train en me along nnd the
other, seeing them within n short tils
tnnee, got nborit-d. The train moved
out nnd the (tarty waited expecting to
'see the two missing ones come lu from
the last cur. When soiue time had
passed nnd they did not atlpenr Mist
Wyman suggested to Mr. Allison that
he had better go back and see if they
had got on. To this Mr. Allison de
murred, stating that ho did not pro
pose to interrupt a tetentete. Whon ,
the train reached the city it wns dls-'
covered that the missing onea wero not
aboard. Mrs. Wyman proinmM to re
; turn, but there was no train to go on J
till morning. ,
Of course when Mr. Atwater and
Lucy Trimble returned they were man
and wife. There could be no other re
sult without the girl's dltnrs. Mr.

The season of strangers In the coun

no dlillculty In tlndtng n farrohouie
where he was the only bonrdT. Fori
n few day he took great pleasure
strolling about nlono through the'
woods, over the meadows, by th
Btreums, brvnihlng tho fresh country I
air. Starting out on .one of his wnlki'
be met n young girl wheto condition of

Was eertalnlr different frbm tho ordt-'
nary farmer daughter. Iteturnlng bj
met the same girl. She had evidently'
been to the post olllee, for she wni
rcadlnc n letter. Pendleton looked nl
his watch.
Whr he did so should need no ex-
plnnntlon to ono who hns ever been'
similarly situated. If his reasoning!
wero analyzed it would be thus; "8h
goos for the mall at this hour. What
hour Is It? Four o'clock. Tomorrow
nt -1 o'clock I will pas over tho same
ground."
And ho did. Uefore setting out be
had framid u question to put to the
elrl. nnd when he met her. rnlslnfr hU

"1 Ix-g yonr pardon, but can you dl-j
roct me to tuo i-awt ofilce?"
"Certainly. It Is half a mllo down1

"And tho tnnll tho eastern mall III

"Ah. thank you very much." And.
pulling out 1.1s wiiteh. lio took a glance

"I'm going to the KMt oilier. I'll
show you where It Is. You have to

"How kind of yon, aiid how fortu

"What Is It?" she said.
"My stay here ends tomorrow. I

and I have taknn un extra week." Ho
sighed again.
Now, there aro different kinds of
sighs nt uny rate sighs that express
different things. Pendleton's sighs ap

Pendleton did not ask her why she
refused the klsn she had so often grant
ed. Useless question. Had ho not
mudo love to her nud hnd she not a
right to expect that he would maku
good his advances and iiNk her to tie
his wife? He felt like a whipped cur.
"I've something to say to you before
you go," said the girl. "I hope you
will not be angry with me. You hnvo
certnlnly been very sweet to me, nnd I
shall never forgive myself If you blame
me. Of course that llrst kiss was not
my fault; It was yours, but it was no
excuse for my letting you kiss me

"Yes," wild Pendleton gloomily, "tho
first was my fault, but tho tlrat step
is always the fatal step. Jlesldes,
there Is un fault In you In the matter,
for you had a right to what my heart

whether of relief or regret he coult
scarcely himself tell.
