hillside, whistlingu little that Uis weary
mother might hear.
Q he woman stood a moment, leaning
with her soap-eaten hands upon the
tub’s edge, and looked after him with
tender eyes. Then she glanced at little
Gabe, six years old, and th rec-year-old
Lannie, who were playing under the
trees, and began washing again. “He’s
the best of them all,” she murmured as
she rubbed. “His heart's as soft as a
girl’s; he'd help me more than he docs
if he could. Oh. if his father had only
never done that awful thing to him!”
And tears slipped down her cheeks and
fell into the suds.
The boy stopped at a spring half way
down the bluff, and, filling the pails,
looked a moment at the mills back of
the bay.
Red-shirted logmen were
working
with
their
cant-hooks
among
the
brown
ricks,
their
sing-song cry of “He-o-he-e-e!” as they
lifted, coming in mellow waves across
the water with the long-drawn, never-
ceasing whine of the feeding saws.
Presently he labored back up the hill
with the water, and when the tubs
I were filled and his mother had thanked
him gratefully, he sat down on a bench
near by and watched her dreamily.
“Mother,” he said at last, “do you
’spose we will always live here?”
“I hope not, dear.”
“Do you think I ken ever go to work
in the mills, mother?”
“I hope so, Paul; or maybe at some­
thing better. The doctor said, you
know, when he looked at your knees,
that if some parts that were growed to­
gether could be parted you would not
be bothered much. But you would have
to go away to a big city where they do
such things, and it would cost a good
deal.” She could not bear to look up,
«and kept on washing, feeling the cloud
that always hung over them grow
thicker with thought of all their help­
lessness.
“Yes,” said the boy, after a little
silence, “it would cost lots; but mobile
something'll happen sometime, an' it
ken be done.”
“Yes, something may happen,” said
the mother, soothingly; “it don't cost
much to live here in this old house that
nobody owns, and as long as I have
strength to wash we won’t starve. May :
be sometime your father’ll quit—will
be himself again.”
Iler voice broke, and the boy got up
with an angry tumult in liis breast and |
went down to watch Lannie and Gabis I
who now were playing near the preci- •
pice. When he hail sent them into the
yard he stood looking gloomily out to
sea. The sun had fallen into the water
far on its western rim, with a flat
mass of clouds lying over it like a dull
red bed of coals. Above this a vast
cloud luing in greenish folds, slit here
and there with sharp, bright blades of
light, while half the great vault above !
him was covered with a troubled, pur­
plish scud.
But he took no note of the seeming
prophecy of stonr. in the sky; hr was
revolving in a blind kind of way the
thought that if his father were not in
the world his mother and they would go
back to her people in the vast, and all

with all their tumbled ocean of tree-
tops turning a golden olive in the sun­
set. On his left the earth sank sharply
down to meet the waters of the bay,
while just before him, with a sheer
drop of quite a hundred feet, the bend
hungover the deep with its granitechin
brushed by the buffeting flood. Its
whole face was solid rock; the forehead
trenched and furrowed like a giant's
muscle-knotted breast, the cheeks rent
and eroded by uncounted storms. while
a vast slab of stone hung pendant in
the <‘vnter like a nose, with others fall­
en endwise in the surf below, and lean­
ing against the wind-worn lips like
shattered monoliths.
From the crest the view was wide
and beautiful, the sea spreading out its
ever changing plain to the horizon;
here, as the sky's moods came and
went, a silver track, there a field of
violet, ami lieyond it level emerald. In
the far southwest a group of islands lay
low in the sea, like blue monsters
swimming outward, and beyond them a
fleet of lumber schooners was fading
in the oiling. The boy drew a long
breath of weariness as he watched
them. He could not help feeling how
sweet it would seem to be sailing away
from all the heart-breaking trouble that
tore his own and other bosoms there on
Beaver head.
lie was loaning against a tumble­
down wall which crossed the crown of
the cliff a few rods from where it
dropped off to meet the sea. Near by
there was a gap in the wall, evidently
once a gate, and a little way back along
the path an old stone house. A tall
man could almost touch the eaves, but
it was wide and long, being divided into
two low but rather roomy halves,
while its walls were thick, but cracked
are1 matted with moss, through which
two small, square windows peered out
like sunken ryes. About the yard were
a number of redwoods, massive and
straight, with the sea winds purring
among their branches and the sunshine
yellowing on their tops.
The house had been built, so tradi­
tion said, years before by a weather
beaten old tar named Beaver, who,
strangely enough, deserted the sea for
an Indian wife and this queer shelter
on the head, only’ to forsake them in
turn to take to the sea again. Then
the seasons had flown on, and presently
a village had sprung up about the inlet
bay, with great sawmills at its inner
wnd, where a little river brought the
logs down from the redwood forests.
Here Trave Armor, the boy's father,
drifting westward through the pineries
of Michigan and Wisconsin, and mak­
ing now and then a futile stand against
drink, ill-luck and poverty, had come to
work in the mills, hut failing, through
rum, drifted at last, with his ragged
flock, into the old stone hut upon the
head.
Their progress had been pitiful
enough, and 1‘aul, the eldest of the five
children, bearing its scars upon his
body, and its infamy in his memory,
had felt, with every season as he pro­
gressed toward manhood, a growing
sense of blight and degradation. He
knew whence his lameness came; that
