THE TILLAMOOK WEEKLY HEADLIGHT. A STARTLED MOTHER j Pll YSK’I AN, Si’ll JEON AND ACCOUCHEUR, From the Bulletin, Freeport, 11L ridges as the lightning fell upon them, and all along the base of the head it burst at times into lurid fire. The boy drew back More it, but bis father was out there- out there where all things rolled together in convulsion, ami be clung in the teeth of the tempest, straining car and eye upon the sea. Suddenly a ship burst into the glare. It seemed coming straight upon the shore, and the boy shouted w ith fear, but it veered and passed away into the darkness. But wluit was that leaping along the billow’s? There it shone in the glare; now all was swallowed up in night,; there it came again—a boat! ami he ran into the very arms of the billows to meet it as a longwave hurled it high upon the beach. \\ ith a leap he was beside it. and when the lightning came again he saw it was bis father’s boat, but----empty! A shock of horror passed through him; his wish had come true. The lightning fell about him. the <•,ean turned to froth, and the billows, bursting against the head, leaped up the shattered pillars in bluish, snowy sheets. But he gave no heed. Sudden ly he seemed to hear voices calling. Now they seemed in the roaring wood :cross the bay: now far out to sea; then high up in heaven. It must be his fancy, he thought, or the winds wailing in the holes and hollows of the cliff. Be passed around toward the front of the head and listened, but the blast roared in bis cars, and the noise of the inrolling flood was so great he could not hear distinctly. How unspeakably fearful it was: his father out there in the wallowing waters. A picture of the man more vivid than life came into the boy’s ex cited mind; his tall stature, stooping shoulders, ragged clothes, and laugh ing. vagabond air: his native good humor, save when liquor made him harsli; his love for children, and «logs, and limiting, and how, when he did not drink, be was the best axman and the strongest man in all the region. Ah, how darkly it all had ended. Bui presently, while he was thinking, the wind lulled, and a voice leaped out from the very lips of the bead in a long. ‘ uivrrmg cry for help. His blood bounded and stood still; then the cry caiiie again, rising above the clashing tdeim uts like a peal of anguish. Ah. it "as his fathers voice; and his blood leajted forward again with a great tin ill, and forgetful of his lameness he ran m close to the bursting rollers «and l-vgun to climb the face of tiiv head. It seemed an attempt fit for something mad. for all lvlow him lav a boiling abyss, lashing and thnndci ing ami leap ing alter him: but he had no time for fear; was not his father calling for suc- ’ or somewhere out there in that abyss of noise and commotion? He knew every hole an<1 shelf in the face of the precipice, and s<w»n by the aid ot the lightning flashes he was on a ledge lca<ling toward the voice. It was a frightful place. Once he slipped and bung over the edge of the shelf, very close to death. A thick sweat broke unt upon him, and bis heart jaried his si 1c with every troke.

' Thoughts and images were flying through his brain; the children sleep- I hig in the hut. his mother stooping at the fireplace trying to kindle a fire, the stove in the shed tilling with water from the storm, and the millmen's shills to be dried and ironed on the monow. Suddenly the clouds broke open to a great height, and there swam the moon in peaceful fields of violet, the m rrate edges of the long rift shining like a cake of silver broken apart. i The rain had almost ceased; only a few drops fell into the boys white face as be lifted it upto ti e light, and the voice broke out afresh, lie shouted a re- I lv. but seemingly could not reach the f th-r’s ear, and troubling ai.d panting lie crept onward In a moment be < aiUB to a jutting point, and, creeping carefully around it, emerged upon a little platform of stone. There the shelf came apparently to an end, and as he turned about in blinding eagerness to find a further way, the voice sprang out almost from beneath his feet. He all but leaped into the sea with joy and fright. In an instant he was down upon his knees peering over the brink, and there, almost in reach of his hand, was his fa ther's upturned face! He was standing upon one foot in a break in one of the pillars that leaned against the cliff, with his arms about its shattered top, and upon its top and within the pro tecting circle of his arms, sat a thin- faced, yellow-haired child. It was the strange t. wildest picture Paul Armor had ever seen. “Oh, father, don’t ye let go! I'll save ye!” he cried. With the first look the child stretched out her arms to him. and a light that was more than the radiance of the moon broke over the man’s face. “It tuck a sight of hollerin’ to raise vo, son!” he said, half weeping in his joy and weariness. “I'd ’bout made up my mind to let go and slide down among the fish.

In a lit tle time their meager supper was over, and darkness was thick without. It was singularly warm and still even for the mild California coast, and after putting the children to sleep the mother went out and listened. Pahl was lean ing upon the ruined wall with his face turned seaward, and nothing stirred the silence save a faint whispering of waters out in the darkness. The at mosphere seemed utterly becalmed. But suddenly as they listened there came a little puff of wind like some thing invisible fleeing before the storm, then a sort of seething rose farover head, as if the clouds were turning in helpless fear about the ceiling of the sky, and the sea began to chop and purr like an unseen animal whetting its teeth in the darkness. In a moment the few remaining stars were ingulfed, and in another moment there came a shivering crash, and the whole scene leaped into view. “My God!” cried the woman, starting forward, an<l Paul, with a faintness rushing over him with thought of the wish he had made in his heart, knew t’i;.t she was praying for his father, out in his double darkness of his evil weak ness and the gathering terrors of the night. Together they hurried in and made the «hairs and windows fast against the coming storm. Ina moment it broke, and roared and lashed across the cl ill' for hours, while the mother, with white face, went to and fro, soothing the children, and turning now and then as if she would go out into the storm and find the one she feared might never come again. Paul’s eyes followed her troubled face, with a look of pleading terror. Suddenly he seized the latch. “Mother. I’m going to the shore!” he said. “No, child, no!” she cried. ‘‘Oh, mother. I must! 1 must! Father mav come!” and he sprang out into the tempest. Al first he was thrown from side to side and dashed against the house by the wind, but presently got his feet and went reeling through the falling tor rents down the hillside, and came upon the beach. The sea seemed alive with leaping CARDS.
