HIS ATONEMENT.
BY MAUV KYLE DALLAS.
A storm was coming up. The
"hole akv was purple gray, with
Mrnngo yellow upon the ho
rizon. *■
Groco Waldron, with her little
boy by the hand, stood with the
others watching a strange foreign
vessel in the offing.
Already in distress, it would go
hard with her if that happened
which the moaning winds seemed
to promise.
Although It was net dark, the
lighthouse keeper was already
iighting his lamps, for in one mo*
menl day might bo extinguished.
The purple was turning into
black, the lurid yellow fading, and
these men of the coast saw portents
:n the clouds unreadable by lands
men.
“Yet that light looks hopeful,”
said Groco to Ned Rushton, who
stood near her, looking at her,
though sho did not know it.
H at kgnl is the worst of all,”
ho answered. “I wonder how man
y of these people will be alive when
..... l>!ea.if?
‘ --h, good Ilcaven! ’ said she.
“ W0 wiil do a!1 for them,’
s - l ’d lie. “But it will bo at tho risk
°*T°r llQ Ur had , 0 'I n made i r 8 a ’ little r f C pause - , before
h0 uiieicd her nnd n., ho
.-poke she turned and looked
full in the face.
They could barely see each oth*
or now, and tho lighthouse lamps
shor.o red and golden and the wom
en were scudding homeward.
“Grace,” he said once mere.
“Yes,” she answered.
“I may never see you again, for
this will be worse work than I have
ever beer, in before, and instead ol
saving the live*? of those people we
may lose our own, and I want to
tell you that I love you before wc
part, and I want to ask you if yen
can love me. That knowledge
would neryo me to great efforts,
and help me to die bravely, if 1
must." *
lie took her hand. Sho left it in
his. and drew her boy cioscr to her.
“Ned Rushton, any woman could
love you, but how do I know I am
a widow?”
“God is merciful.” said ho.
She gave a sigh, and let him put
his aim about her waist.
“The ship went down,” said he.
“The four men who survived bo*
licycd themselves lho only crest*
ures saved, it was five years ago.
Dick is dead.”
“Il must be so,” she murmured—
it must be sc. ’

Shun.ucr just . storm A
>’ our; » as t.ie
burst amid tho darkness.
People who live along the sea
coast are as poor, I fancy, as decent
people ««•«.«. .bo mw of
men is hard and irjing.
!, J- woI > ccii-.?r.aa!ly in conflict
with the dements, they break down
early. Now nnd then there is a
great storm that makes a dozer,
w idows in an hour, and robs as
many mothers of their sons. No
one ever becomes rich or ever hopes
to do so. but very few come to ask
ing charity.
There is always some one to cate
1 for tho disabled in friendly J fashion.
Tho old sit at their cottage doors
and make nets or carve toy boats
for sale, and much kindliness prc*
j vails amongst neighbors. Nowand
then tnere is n black sheep amongst
them, and his sin is usually a love
of drink.
It happened to Grace Lawton to
marry one of these.
When she came to the place with
her step-father, who was a boat
builder, he hired Dick Waldron to
work for him.
The young man was bright and
meny, nnd bad the dark beauty of
a gipsy, and Grace never guessed
how much he drank or how fond
he was of drinking. It was bora in
him; he made no effort to resist it.
Men who are wet to tho skin
most of the lime, are often forced
to warm themselves as thev can.
*>
No one thought anything cf
Dick’s habit until after his marri*
ago. He fell into id 1 o habits, lay
about the house all day, and began
very shortly to ill-use his wife. At
last ho struck her a heavy blow
that broke her arm.
Then her slop father interfered
and took her home, nnd Dick, so
berod and penitent, swore to live
decently evermore, nnd khclt for
her forgiveness. lie even took a
temperance pledge, and when her
arm was well Grace went back to
him. He kept tho pledge a few
weeks, broke it by going on a
frightful spree, and returned to his
home a temporary maniac.
The, neighbors only knew that at
the dead of night, Grace knocked
at her step-father’s door. Before
dawn a little babe was born and
she was at the point of death.
When he recovered from a fit of
dclirium-tremcns Dick went to see
his wife, but was refused admission
to her chamber though sho sent
him her forgiveness,
No one had ever heard of Dick
since, and the ship he sailed upon
was known to have been lost,
And nil this time Ned Rushton
had loved Grace. Loved her as a
schoolgirl before Dick came to win
the inexperienced heart that did
no t yet know itself. Loved her sad
] v - while she suffered grief from
VVhich i5G C0,iid 1101 StlVC 1 ' C1 h and
loved her still. More fondly than
before. And at ln.1 hjpo W #s his;
for the fir>t time sho had boos
brought to believe Dick dead and
herself free; now she prayed for
him, calling him her dear love, and
he amidst the ftiry of the tempest
had no fear.
She loved him; she would he his
wife; he would return to her; God
was merciful; he must return now. j
He said this to himself on the
sea in the darkness as bo fought for
human lives. He was poor, so was
she. But his arms were strong and ■
his head clear. Ho bad a decent
education; he would win fortune
somehow for her sake, and sudden
!y he drove away all thought savo
of his duty as he saw a figure drop
from the, side of the wrecked ves*
sel into the water—it was gone in
a gull u . of c darkness; , , it reappeared; i •. it
\x–s swept past the boat; he caught
Tt. Fiends seemed to struggle
its possession. lie went overboard
with it. The waves rose high, but
he clutched tho drowning man still,
lie had caught the boat-side in his
band.
Another aided him. The water
struck lum mad blows in the breast.
Ilia breath was gone fora moment,
I but h<! had helped to thrust the
man into the boat. lie had regained
i it himself. Two otber half drowned
| l>ooplel»y“>««. , , ,, and , now a child, v MJ
a little gir!, was almost thrown in
j to They iheir arms. grasped her floating hair.
; They were so eager .f for her that
lhe . . . harcay . r.gnted . , the boat „
'
-
as the groaning of the parting
warned them to beware.
1 Then down in a gulf, aloft on a
waterv moaataia, I steering \ as best
they % could for tho„ shoi-e,
where lights were sho\vn fo
guide them. Safe at last in the har
[ boPs quieter water, their four res*
cued people nl.ee.
Ned held the man's hca'd
i kit koce, pityingly putting back
the wet hair.
He helped him upon the wet
sands. Soon he was able to stand
! with support.
“1 thought it was all over,*’ he
said, as if talking to himself; “but
now I shall see her again, aflor all.
My wife! my wife!"
“She was not on the vessel,” said
Ned
i “No, . T said tho “I
stranger, was
coming home to her —I am, thanks
to you. Give mo your name—you,
who saved my life. I'll reward
wcli.”
“I’m a sailor. I’vo only done my
duly," said Ned.
lie helped him on toward the op
en door of tho church, into which
tho rescued were being horno, be*
cause it stood so near the shore. A*
mongst tho women who were min
istering to the poor creatures he
saw Grace, busy, helpful, but with
trouble in her eyes,
Ho could not kolp speaking to
her.
“Grace,” lib called. Sho turnod
— a stnilo swept over her face.
“Hero is another patient for you.
Take care of him for his wife's sake
and mino.
Sho had como into the darkness
to meet him. Tho half-drowned
man staggered and clung to the
railing of the porch, resting his
head on his arm.
“For his wife’s sake and yours?”
she repeated. “Oh, take care of
yourself, my love, for mine.” They
kissed each other. She took an
arm of tho rescued stranger, who
seemed fainting, and led him in to
warmth and light, and Ned Rush*
ton went forth to his task of saving
lives. Afterward they often spoke
of his bravery, of h:s hair-breadth
escapes—many owed their lives to
him that awful night.
In tho dawn a sad, gra}^ sea swept
a sad, gray shore. Fragments of
wood, casks, and other things float
ed upon the waves, and near ccr*
tain great rocks appeared the up*
per portion of tho sunken vessel’s
masts. The old seaside church was
a hospital. Some of those saved
rejoiced that they j r et lived. Oth
ers, who had lost dear ones, be
wailed them pitcour. ly.
One man thought cf nothing but
tho possessions he had had on
board. A woman sobbed for her
diamonds, while next to her a
young creature wrung her hands
and moaned: “My little baby—oh,
my little baby!”
Ned Rushton looked about him.
le saw the figure of'Grace sealed
in an old pew beside a figure ex*
tended upon the cushions.
She was feeding it with some*
thing in a bowl, and she did not
look up. Ho made his way to her
and leaned over the high pew-back
and smiled at her. She did not
smile iu return. Her face was dead
ly pale—her eyes sunken.
“You arc unharmed?" she said.
“Thank God for that. Yo saved
my son's father last night. This is
Dick. I think you did not recog*
nizo him.”
The man opened hi3 eyes. Older
darker, wearing a black beard,
Still Ned Rushton knew the face
at once. It was Dick Waldron, and
none other, for whose life ho had
fought with tho sea at tho risk of
his own.
lie stared at him, looking at
Grace no more, and rushed away
oat . at . ii the elmron t » door, i away on< * of
tho sight of man to a lonely spot
tho .rocks, where
moaned over and over again:
“I saved him—I; but for me be
would now be dead. I saved him
—I—I!”
All day the church was full: some
of the rescued were able to walk a*
i boat and t.i.ft take mnnno means in to nntifu notify ik... the,
friends; one dieo; others, crushed
by wot, seemed to have relinquish
ed effort.
Grace brought c her bowto see ' his
fothor, and , »o one *a<* vr -'cd j Rashs u
ton any where. No one could
whither he had vanished.
At ten of the clock that
night, f, *, be arose trembling from a*
midst the roexs, . and I went . ,
and, with out tasting supper, soaght
bis bed.
The fisherman’s wife with whom
he lodged thought nothing of Ibis;
. but she ca.tcd to him up the , stairs, .
as he closed the door:
“There's something here for you;
a boy left it.”
Sho gave him a small parocl and
he carried it into his room. But he
did not Ivok at it, be threw li»m*
i self upon the bed in the darkness.
( In the night he awoke suffering
horribly, fever followed, then do*
Jiriuin. lie was ill for many days.
a victim to his deeds of daring poo
pic thought; exertion but it that was bad not brought expos*
tiro or
him to this pass, it was tho thought
that he had lost Grace—hopelessly
lost her sinco Dick had returned
and over and over again in his do*
lirium he repeated:
“And I saved him.”
But Ned was young and he lived;
bs grow strong; he oven began to
value iifo again; ho loft his bed and
weul down stairs; the woman of the
house was delighted. She set a
chair for him and stood before him
toiling him how everybody had
been interested in his welfare, and
“inquired.”
“And tho parcel—you noyor op*
cncd tho pared. It might amuse
you now,” said she.
She went to get it, brought it
back, and laid it upon his knee.
And in a little while, when sho was
gone about her work, he untied the
cord that held tho roll of brown
paper, and saw within a waterproof
money-belt and a folded paper. 1 v p
en : ng the paper, ho read this:
“I told you I would reward j*ou
tor saving my life. I keep my
promiso. I hcaid ami saw all that
night. You love Grace, and sho
loves you; my return is a grief to
both.
“I am a bettor man than I was,
and I have made money.
Min this belt is my will. Give it
to Grace. As for me, I am going
bock to the sea from which you
snatched me.
“I leave her rich; I pray her to
be happy with tho man sho loves. I
made her vory miserable when sho
was mine; perhaps I atone by this
act of mine. To die is no sorrow
to me, believing this. I shall drown
myself in sight of others, that there
may be no doubt in Grace’s mind
that she is free.
“Adieu! God bless you.”
And the man had kept iris word.
In full sight of men upon tho rocks,
of the lighthouso keeper, of women
picking drift-wood upon tho shore,
ho had entered tho water gnyly,
swimming, as they fancied, for
mero sport, and waved his hand to
them, as in adieu, as lie went down.
The Arizona Kicker.
Wo extract tho following from
the last issue of the Arizona K ick
or, says the Detroit Free Press:
Tuy it Once. —Two months ago
tho postmaster of this lo’tn didn’t
care a cent whether our mail reach
ed us or not, and every complaint
we made was received with ill-dis*
guised contempt. We brought mat*
levs to a climax by encouraging
him to horsewhip us. As soon as
he had struck the first blow wo
sailed in, and his friends say that
he was the worst licked man ever
heard of in Arizona. Sinco that
date nothing is loo good for us. lie
sends a boy over with our mail
twice a day, and every one of our
subscribers gets his Kicker so
promptly that the paper feels hot
when it readies him.
Mem.— If your postmaster ft 7 on’t
travel in the right bridle-path,
baste him. It beats appeals to
\Y a nr, maker all hollow.
