Si E stood on tho brink o? the incl- plce mid looked over. Three hun dred fHt liclow blui Jie aca broke on the aomhi-r rocka. The inn it's muacloa tonnloncd and he drew a deep brent h. What an caxy way to end it all! Juat one little step thoao rock below wcro no buuglcra: they would make no mlatake over their work, and tho era would tell no talus and thenthen he would b away from It all, and would never have to bear the agony of hearlnir that she was married to Everett. Married to Everett married to Ever ett! The word clunked iu hie earn. lie proa ned aloud and beut hastily over tho edjje. A mint came before his eyc and hi breath row) In a choking heave to hla throat; the ground rocked !ckenlnj;ly beneath him, and for one dlxxy swoii'l be tbouglit ho was falltiKfalll!i down that lutermlnabto ace. Then the inlet passed, the ground ulom.iJ Bi.ii L lettv (1 t 1 1 1h ft 1 as ta-kil U.' 1 f 1 1 relief to tliul himself still staudlns; safe and sound on Unit earth. He turned away with a scornful laugh at his own weakness. Home ngslu, he fluug himself Into an easy-ehalr and lit hla pipe, resolved to ' give way no longer to morhld Imag inings, He picked up a magaxlne, but hla thoughts flew on at a tangent to the dance which was to take place that very evening, to which he bad been invited. He had vowed not to see her again till he could settle once for all the dem on of unrest within him. and a crowded ballroom was the lust place for impas sioned avowals. , Ho thought how root and, beautiful she would look In her w4ilte muIln, with her fluffy goMeu hnlr framing her sweet little flower-like face. I'erhapN be would go, after all. Then a second figure rose up to spoil the picturo--httndsome, luutpy-go-lucky Everett, ' with a merry word for everyone, dancing untiring attendance on the fas cinating hostess and never leaving her side for a moment. How dared he take possession of her In that way! And bow could she put up with It, unless i His pipe mankind's uulversal baby- bottle for once failed utterly In Ita mission of soothing. He toxxed It an grily across the table and burled 1!m face In hla hands, lost In a whirl of mis erable conjecturca. Hla thoughts flew bnck to that dance one week ago one week so crowded with hones and fears that It seemed a lifetime. ' He remembered those two dancea. the music, the acent of flowers In the conservatory, and, more distinctly than all, the laughing face of Dolly. Then those few overheard words rushed through his brain. He clinched bis fists and his face flushed at the rec ollection. He bad drifted from the ball room to the conservatory. Would she consent? That was tho question that throbbed tn bis brain. Should he say tho words that would decide his future life and hers? He had puffed at a ci garette, and stared at the thin wisps of blue smoke. Would his hopes fade Into nothingness as that fragrant smoke faded and vanished Into alrY And then he heard people talking. He recognized the vol:e of Everett, and then Dolly's. They -were seated on the opposite side of the conservatory, and had not seen him as he sat almost con cealed behind a tangle of palm leaves. "Dolly," Everett was saying, "you must say 'Yes.' My whole life depends upon It We have been chums so long. Say you will and make me the happiest man In England not to speak of Scot land, Ireland and Wales. Say 'Yes! 1 know what you want to say that we ought to be getting back v tin. And there are all those loathsome people who want dancea. Confound 'enx You will? I knew you would" Fraser had sat there, almost unable to move. He did not know how long. The music from the ballroom floated out : Into the conservatory, mingling with the laughter and chatter of the guests. All hope, all Interest in life was gone snatched from him by those few overheard words. People were asking for him. What did it matter; nothing mattered now, A voice aroused him. He looked lip, and saw Everett before him Everett, who was hla friend; who wua now his rival his eeninyl "Hallo, Eraser, old man, you neem to be ten fathoms deep In the blue dumps! Whm's the matter now? Come and have a smoke with me. l're been look ing for you half the evening." And that all happened a week ago! A week the most miserable In hla life. And now he was trying to forget her. What fool he was! ' ii. The thought of that steep drop down to the sea kept recurring to hla mind again and agalu with a fatal fascina tion put it away from bis as he would. Through all his brooding lis somber Invitation stood out clear and dUtinct He could see even now the Jagged rocks lurking below, dripping with spray, looking for their prey. At last he got up. It, was no good staying In. . Inaction was torture to him in hla present frame of mind. He would try and walk it oft. lie started off rapidly, without any dcrJnlte aim or- Intention, but uncon sciously ills steps turned toward the coast,, and preseny he found himself ouce more ascending the steep little path he had traversed that morning. As bo ueared the summit be per ceived that there was a man's figure ln-fore him, stooping perilously over the daugerous edge, evidently gathering some plant from the cliff below. It was a foolhardy thing to do, and evidently bopoke a strong brain. A little nearer, and be stopped short abruptly. 1 be stooping , figure was Everett All his love and hate surged up with in him. Everett, the man who had stolen his love from him the man who nad made his life a blank and barren waale. A thousand devils seemed let loose within him. How very near that stooping figure was o deatn go uear that one touchJust one little motion of the foot and he would lose his b;il a nee and go speeding, speeding down those smiling cliffs and be hurled to pieces on thone cruel rocks beneath! His breath came quickly, Suppose It had happened accidental ly? Even as he thought he knew he was a coward. Even then be was thinking of his owu skin. Suppose a sudden noise made the man start? Al most unconsciously he opened his Hps. and a harsh "Hallo!" broke from him. Everett's nerves were steel. He turned his sunny face and smiled over his shoulder. "Hallo, old man!" he responded amia bly. Fraser came and stood dumbly beside him, holding his hands tightly together behind him to hide their shaking.. He had forgotten Everett was a sailor. He watched him furtively leaning down further and further, till It seemed Impossible he could retain his balance; and the waves below reached up hun gry white arms to catch him, and fell back again with a murmuring thunder of anger at their failure. X HtUe further. Eraser caught his breath. , "You'll bo over In a minute!" he said gruffly. Everett laughed easily. "Not I!" he said confidently "But 1 say, old chap, you might Just hang on to my legs for a miuute, will you? 1 want to reach that great bit Just there, and It'a Just beyond me." The waving pink bloom nodded Im pudently up at them Just out of reach, Fraser stood motionless, moistening his dry lips. . Everett looked around. "D'you mind, old many" he said. And mechanically the other stretched out his hand and obeyed. Now nowl one movement of his lin gers Just the opening of his hand He fought the thought back, gasping for breath. Everett leaned still farther. He half glanced back. "They're for Dolly, you know," he said, "to wear thia evening." The fingers opened as If by some sud denly pressed spring. There was a sud den cry. and then then something went rolling, rolling, striking and bounding slckenlugly down that steep side. ' 6 .. For an instant the white face was up turned. "All right, old chop I know acci dent!" floated up brokenly, and theu there was n last hideous thud, and the waves clutched greedily at their unrec ognizable prey and drew It under. Ami the swooping seagulls shrieked wildly and circled upward. Fraser stood aa if turned to atone, gazing with distended eyeballs at the gurgling eddies where that that thing had disappeared. Murderer! Murderer! Murderer! The waves lashed It at him. the sea gulls shrieked It, the whole living and Inanimate world flung the awful word at him. He stood paralyzed. Had he done It he? What had he doue? He held his hands vaguely and plteously out before him, asking them mutely. Murderer! Murderer! MurdererJ Yes, it was true true! His hands told him his hand that he had opened. God! .They were blood-red stained with blood! The grass was red the sky the very sea was blood! He flung up his bands with an awful cry and sprang blindly over that fatal edge. "I say, old fellow, do wake up and stop having the horrors! You don't know how beastly awful yoa look!" Fraser opened hla eyea alowly and atared In blank terror at the handsome tanned face looking down at him. He wondered vaguely whether he was dreaming now or had Just awoke from a red nightmare. The voice went on; "I only 'looked In to say ta-ta. I've bad a telegram railing me back to Ire land immediately. Old Chris Murdoch has relented and consented to our be ing publicly engaged. And all through Dolly, too bless her little heart! She's Meg'a dearest friend, you know, and she's been moving heaven and eartn td soften the old chap's heart" He waived an airy good-by. Ta-ta!" be said merrily. Fraser gazed speechlessly at him, the tears still standing thick on bis white face. Everett turned back, half-laughing. "I wish you wouldn't look at me as though I were a ghost!" he protested, "So long!" OVERCOME BY GOOD LUCK. French Peaaant Who Drew m Prise of f 10 ).OJO an I Fainted. Before the closing of the Paris ex position the last great lottery connect ed with this stupendous show was drawn for, the wluner of which, a poor peasant, found himself the richer by j half a million francs that is, $100,00a The drawing for this great prize was fixed or 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. At 2 o'clock the great hall was densely packed with a mixed but anxious crowd. Dukes, duchesses, counts, countesses, ofllcers, business men of all description, workmen in their boll day attire, workmen in their working clothes all went to make up a vivid and sensational picture. t One peasant told the writer that he had traveled 200 miles in order to be in Paris iu time to see the ' draw" for the great fortune, and to make sure that all was fairly done. ; At the tick of half -past 2 o'clock the committee, composed of men of irre proachable character men of the high est standing filed In. The general secretary of the bank. M. Eouxel, pre sided. Before the "drawing" he explained to the people that the first would win 500.000 francs, the second and third 10.000 francs, the five following 1.000 francs, and 100 others 100 francs each. The supreme moment has arrived. Two boys are each placed before n wheel, the boy ou the right giving the series, the one ou the left giving the number. There nre 325 series of 10.000 numbers each. The silence Is painful. The faces of the people in the hall are all anxious, and In many cases quite drawn. The wheels are turned. The boys each take a number.- The prize the fortune Is decided. No. 2.130 of the sixteenth series has won, and the owner of this comes Into possession of 5fl0,0(i0 francs. "No. 2530, winner of the first prize!" is called out. A cry from the center of 'he hall a weird, unnatural cry and the possessor of ticket No. 2530 falls hack, staggers, and is carried away senseless. He is a poor peasant, who for years has never earned more than 20 francs a week. Now? It Is Interesting to learn that the win ner of the great prize for ISOS-a wom anhas not yet been paid. This lady won the 500,000-frane prize, but had cut off a small portion of her ticket. Now the law regulating these lotter ies fa that the ticket must Iw presented Intact. Should It be mutilated in the slightest the winner Is barred from re-.. ceivlng the prize until thirty years have elapsed. , "Itevlsed Solomon's Judgment. The Independence Beige says a mag istrate recently found himself in an embarrassing situation. Two voung women each claimed to be the mother of an infant or six months. The magis trate, who had not forgotten his scrip tural teaching, called , for a butcher's knife, and. placing the child on the table in front of him, declared his in tention of dividing it and giving a half to each of the vociferous claimants. "Don't do that!" they shrieked; "keep the baby yourself," and immediately tied from the courthouse. The magis trate, it Is "said, has solved the diffi culty in which he was placed by pro visionally adopting the child.
