A Strip of
Seaweed
It Was Given as a Token at
the Time of a Betrothal.
By F. A. MITCHEL
lu the oUUn time Newport, It. I., was
an luipoi-tdut skirling port. Indeed,
until the eiiod of the Revolution a
inimlier of points on the Atlantic coast
wore about equally prominent in this
ri'Hpect. A3 the years rolled on all ex
(ept New York, Huston and Philadel
phia dropiied out, the latter finally
leaving the first the supremacy.
la that early day on the beach where
now In the summer season hundreds,
at limes thousands, of fashionable per
sons drive and lounge and bathe, one
moonlight night a young man and a
jih'l sat looUiny; out upon the gilded wa
ter. They were Edmond ltoscoe and
Hvalina Blair, the young man a son of
a prominent shipowner, the girl the
daughter of a merchant. There were
no sounds of revelry in the little town
hark of them, as there are now at that
season, and, as for the beach, not a
sound was to be heard except the plash
of the sluggish waves as they broke
and rolled in on the sand.
There could be no more fitting place
for a young man to tell his story to a
maiden, and Edmund ltoscoe was toll
in:; Eviillua P.lair his love for her.
Then and there their troth was plight
I'd under the yellow light of the moon,
the lovers' voices accompanied by the
effervescing sound of the waves as
they slid up in foam on the smooth
sands.
There were bolh happiness and sad
ness for these two young creatures
w hose lives seemed so much to them.
In a few days they were to part for
several years. Kvuliua was to go to
England that lier education might be

"hie to her runk. Edmond was to enter
lirowu university, which was then In
its babyhood and soon to give up Its
as jet only dormitory to quarter nol
dlers of the Revolution.
The transports of betrothal wero
scurcely over when Edmond said:
"Vou are going to a land where you
will meet many persons of rank and
fashion. know that you will lie a
belle among them. Some man, possibly
a noble, will fall in love with you.
You will dread to return to this'tin
cultivated laud. You will remain In
England, ami I shall never see you
again."
Looking at hlni thiough her earnest
eyes, she replied:

J el there wan a great deal that ah
did not write hlni. She did not write
of the offers of marriage that followed
one another lu rapid succession.
When these offers of marriage were
showered upon Evalina she declined
thorn without giving as a reason a pre
vious attachment. Later, possibly as
one might hide behind gauze, she fre
quently wore as a decoration the sea
weed that her American lover had giv
en her. Sometimes It was tacked to
her skirt, sometimes she wore it in her
corsage, and again it would be Inter
twined with her hair. In time she
came to be called the Seaweed Lady.
Meanwhile Koscoe was studying as
a collegian, though his mind was with
his heart. a(id that was across the
ocean. He read witli avidity Evalina's
letters and shuddered as he thought of
the differences between himself, au
undergraduate of a college but a few
years old, without fortune, compared
with some coroneted man with vast
estates. Evalina's letters were reas
suring, but she was growing from
maidenhood to womanhooj, and would
she not give way at last?
I However, the period allotted for her
I sojourn abroad was drawing to a close.
She did nut write her lover that she
was coming home for the reason that
i she did not know if she would be per-
milted to return. Her parents were
much chagrined at hearing that she
hud refused an earl ond the second
son of a duke and were debating
whether to scud the funds for her pas
sage back to America or Insist that she
remain longer.
It was two years from the time of

many years broke upon the coast. For
three days the giant waves struck
wildly-upon the cliffs and rolled far
up into Narragansett bay. Then, on
the evening of the third day, the clouds
broke away in the west, and the sun
set in golden splendor.
That night the moon was at the full.
As the sun went down the queen of
night rose. Edmond, desiring to view
the effect of the storm on the waves,
I when night had fallen and the moon
I was lighting the bind and the water,
I started for the bench. The path was
i lonely, and there was terror la the
j tumbling of the great waves on tho
i sands. The only likeness to the night
of Edmond and Evalina's betrothal
was the full moon.
lie had passed midway from the
town to the water when he saw before
him a figure that, he knew to be a
woman by her garments fluttering lu
the wind, which was still strong. She
seemed to be coming toward him, but
as he advanced drew no nearer to
him. He went on until he came to the
edge of the beach and saw her still
distant from him, sometimes Hitting
nearer, sometimes farther, and ulways
seeming to rock like a bird resting ou
the crest of a wave.
Whether It was the night, still dis
turbed by the storm that hud passed,
or something bewildering In this un
steady figure, ltoscoe could never tell,
but an appalling premonition stretch
ed a pall over hlni like the wings of
some huge black bird. Something
within him seemed to say: "A great
misfortune has fallen upon you. The
wind and the waves ore n dirge. He
strong or you will be crushed."
And now, having reached a point
overlooking the water, the sands beiug
Soaked, progress was slower. Scat
tered ragged clouds were flying above,
now and again dashing, across tho face
I of the moon and shutting off its light.
I At these dark periods the timing figure
was lost, but reappeared when the
, cloud had passed and the full light ot
the moon was released.
Edmond had spent many au hour
when home from college on the spot
where he and Evalina had spoken
their betrothal, and he saw that the
figure wuh slowly moving toward It
Yet It was the movement of a Moating
object, driven by alternate advancing
and receding waters, yet borne by an
Invisible tide toward a given point
Hut notwithstanding this apparently
slow movement ho gained but little on
