As Paul Armor crept back along the

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

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

he cried. "Ain't there any in the house?
Ji»* t „nixinful!’*
A 1 x»k of despair spread over the
woman’b face. ”Trave. there uin t any,
she said. “You must go to bed now,
and !s’-**p until y’r better,’’ end she led
him into the other room as if he was a
trembling child.
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.
