A H KULDGC As Paul Armor crept back along the ledge bi» heart lx?at very fust. I p aud down, in and out, panting, hurrying, he passed above the turmoil of waters. Would they be there when he returned? Oh. for wings, or even sound limbs'. But how came his limb» so halting? lie did not think of that now, with his father, who liad maimed him, hanging there so near to death. Pity had turned ‘the noisome current of hat? aside, and he wa being carried forward on the ever saving, ever healing stream of love. In a few minutes, that seemed as many hours, he came down upon the beach, ilis blood was fairly leaping, and he ran along the sand pitching for ward in hi; lameness, and 1»Hiking pal lid and wild in the in<xniliglit. A little way beyond his father’s broken Ixiat he came to a sort of landing. lie remem bered having .seen a rope there. Yes, there it lay, coiled aud wet, on the bow of a canoe. Ilis face lit up and he seized it with a joyous cry. But it was fastened to the boat* Instantly he fell upon his knees, and began pulling and tugging at the knot, using both lingers and teeth in liis eagerness. But it was sodden arid solid, and would not yield. 1'hen he seized the nut on the lower end of the boat that held the rope, and twisted it with all his strength. It turned; and in a moment he bail it off, and, climbing upon the edge of the boat, he wound the rope about his shoulders and hands and lifted hard. Suddenly, as he strained, the rusty bolt left its socket, and he plunged headlong from the boat’s side upon the wet sand. Scrambling up, and snatching the rope, he hurried down the beach. Without waiting to take breath, or steady him self, he plunged into the spray, ami, climbing above the surf, took his dan gerous way across the bead. Onward lie went, creeping along the dripping ledge, with elouds of mist rolling past him up the cliff, and now and then the moonlight breaking through upon him As lie approached the beetling point that hid his father and the unknown child from view he paused with llutter- ing pulse aud listened. No sound save the long rolling crash of the incoming surges met his car. Tremblingly he crept on round the point and looked down; there they hung! and his heart gave a great leap at the sight. The' man with closed eyes seemed sinking down, but the child still held him fast about the neck. “Father! father!” shouted the boy, with warning voice, “I'm come! I've got the rope!” Tin* man roused himself with a pitiful smile and the hoy made a, hurricu noose of the rope and cast it down. Tho father steadied himself and at length got the noose over the child's head and around its body. Then he kissed her und said, faltei ingly: “1 don’t know who ye urc, little thing, an’ I a n't made out a word ye’ve said, but ye’ve saved me so far, und mebby if we get outer CD* exclaimed the woman. ■ “It can’t speak English: it’s a foreigner!” and she put her faded slmwl about it com passionately. Suddenly the boy started up. “I’m goin’ now, mother,” he said. “I’m go- in’ after father!” and before the woman could comprehend he snatched the rope and ran up in the spray and was swal lowed from her sight. The act appalled her. and she sprang screaming after him. but ube slipped on the wet rocks and 1 the __ K plunging ___ o__. surges beat her back. To her mother heart it was much as if he had passed into a billowing fire. Themo- nients seemed interminable; would he never come back from that battering, pounding gulf of foam and noise? N half hour of terror went by; then suddenly he burst out of the wreathing spray above lier, with a cry much as if lie hud opened eyes in Heaven. Behind him came his father, drooping and stag gering forward, aud husband and wife fell into each other's arms, and stood swaying and sobbin gon the sanl, while Paul crept away, sick and broken, and crying to himself. Ah! he had been through great peril; he had done a noble deed; he had brought bael< hi.; self respect; but hail not the old hovering darkness come along with it? V ln'ii Trave Armor, following his wife, bent his tall, shambling form anil The m in swayed forward over his Icnee, and Troaued: "Lv 5*. 1 '.al if I kin’.-’ But »uJdenlv he t u w himself 1,.1-k with a look >d lortnr-- i:i hi.- f -e.

When she came out again she asked lor Paul, but none of the children had seen him, and she went anxiously to the door and looked oat. 1 he boy was limping slowly up the path with his fa ther’s rusted rifle on hix shoulder. He had found it in the bottom of lac water logged bout. “Brea!<f:’st is ’rr^st ready, I’aul,” said the mother, and her voice was an infinitely tender earcss. She did not praise him, but he saw an approval iu her ‘.‘yes t‘>o great for words. “fin not much hungry, mother.” he said. “I'll get the tubs filled, so we can go to work when y’re remly.’’ When the poor meal was prepared he came in and ate a few bites in silence, 'fhe food holced him when he looked at his mother’s care-worn face. Suddenly as the.y sat at the table, the father cried out wildly in the other room, aud the wife ran in and they heard lier strug gling with him. The children grew still and the little waif looked fright ened and pc’-»Vxed. (To l»e co itinuud) PII.JFESSIONAL CARDS. PHYSICIAN. SURGI ON AND ACCOUCHEUR, All cullb promptly attended to TILLAMOOK.
