H. D. WATTS,
SI
A beautiful story has come to me. A
story beautiful in its sadness, its hero
ism aud its devotion; a story which
brings into the prosaic Nineteenth cent
ury a glimpse of that romanticism, chiv
alry and sacrificial love supposed to be
long so peculiarly to the crude and ro
mantic mediteval times. Forty years
ago the incidents which I will try to nar
rate. in the words of another happened.
This other, an old Englishman, is now
a man with silvered locks and sweeping
beard. In his. younger days bo was a
midshipman in the navy of Great Britain.
Ho also was something of an amateur
artist, and after leaving the English serv
ice catno to this country. When only a
boy I was a favorite of his, and for long
hoars I would sit upon his knee or beside
him on a low footstool and listen to his
tales of the sea, and my youthful heart
would be fired and I would determine a
sailor to be. We would sit together in
the winter evenings, with no light save
the firelight, now a shadow on the wail,
then flickering strong and bright Thera
was a picture over the mantel, a picture
which showed tbo credo hand of the
amateur, yet was strong. It had been
his last and beet effort It was a repre
sentation of the finale of the story which
ho told me. The picture, or rather the
woman's faco in the picture, had, young
as I was, mode a strong impression upon
me. It was not tbo beauty of the face;
it was not the excellence of the picture;
it was not the sceno that so affected me.
He said she was beautiful. If so he
.ailed in portraying her physical beauty.
Bnt the expression of that faco, the in
tangible, spiritual something that teem
ed to emanate from and hover around
and about it was marvelous, and made
of the ordinary picture a master stroke
and covered up all the defects as chari
ty coveroth a multitude of sins. The
Dice, radiantly happy, arid a portion of
the throat alono were visible, and that
face waa sinking, linking, even now, be
low tho surface of the ocean to bo lest
forever, and yet a glory shone upon it
as if the first beam from the opening
gate of heaven was shining there; and
she was yonng and rich and had posi
tion. The sea was a sea of glam, and
there was no “painted ship upon that
painted ocean." Close in a strongman's
arm she was held, and her face tested
against his, which was not so distinct as
as her own. . / ,i: »>l , .,
Many a time I had asked for the story
of that picture, and my friend would not
tell it me, for it saddened him, and be
thought I was too young to comprehend
and sympathize with the spirit of the
story. But last week, when on a visit
east, I met him for tho first time in years,
and sitting in that old room before that
picture he told me the story.
“As you know, 1 was a middy in her
majesty's service. It was my third year
on the ocean wave, and 1 and my
friend and proteotor, Jack Sutherland,
the second lieutenant, had just reported
to tho Goloonda for service. Tho Uoi-
conda was to sail tho next day for India
“Jock Sutherland was some years
older than I, and as we bad both come
from tho same neighborhood he had con
stituted himself my protector. In my
young eyes ho was invested with oil pos
sible manly Qualities and excellencies,
aud I loved him as only a young boy can
love and admire a young man who is not
only his friend and adviser, but his ideal
as well. But everybody on board loved
Jack, frera tho lowest sailor to the cap
tain, always kind, courteous, amiable
And manly. And ho was strung and
handsome, too. Was it any wonder then
that Nellie Westinghouse loved him?
"Miss Westinghouse came on board
early on the morning of tho day on which
we soiled. She was the daughter of the , .- . -
viceroy of India. Her school days in i « th f bank, to notify pa
England were completed, and she waa to ***** ***** institution, at least.
rate ways. But since the birth of time
what two people In love ever heeded tile
advice of another? If they did they
were not in love.
“They loved, as they felt themselves,
with a love that was more than love and
while each recognized that they would
be separated at the end of the voyage,
they resolved to blind themselves to that
awful thought, aud, at least, revel with
out alloy in the brief happiness allotted
them. They would live alohe In the
present, which was so intensely bright
that it hid the blaokpees of tho future.
The days wore on, the love grew strong
er and the stately ship sailed like u swan
over the undulating glossiness of the
sea. Happy hearts were on board that
ship.
“Tho hours lengthened between them
and England and the hoars of love grew
shorter. In just one week they would
bo in Bombay, and she would go from
him, and at the thought they loved still
more fondly and sipped the shortening
cup of sweetness, which now began to
have, perforce, a tincture of bitterness
unutterable.
“We were three days out from Bom
bay. It was a glorious morning; a stiff
breeze was blowing, and the sea as it
Pose and fell, long and even and deep,
shone in a reflected glory that almost
equaled the sun itself. Tho bells bad
hardly ceased tapping when Jack came
on deck. He thought the ship bad a
lurching, loggering motion that was un
usual. It kept increasing, and soon
the cry of “A leak! A leak!” was hoard.
Jack gave a few hurried orders, and the
sailors and carpenters went to work with
a will. Tho ship lurched heavily now
and was visibly sinking. The hammer
ing in the hold continually jarred above
the noiso on deck, but the old ship waa
sinking fast
“Jack's duties called him everywhere.
Tho boats were lowered and all the la
dies and passengers ordered in. Jack
saw Nellie for an instant and kissed her
a passionate good-by. In the rash that
ensued Nellie and Mrs. Bromley were
separated. In fact, Mrs. Bromley in her
terror, never tbooght of Nellie until her
boat was far away bom the sinking
•hip, and waited patiently for the ar
rival of tho other boats confident of
ing Nellie there.
“All the boats and all the passengers
were gone. The soldiers and sailors,
martyrs ss they were, were drawn up in
line, not forsaking their charge, as they
and it slowly sank. Grim, without an
evidence of terror, stood the brave fel
lows. Jack wss looking out over the
■ea toward the boats, trying in the mo
ment of death to get one last glimpse of
his lovei The Alp was shivering now
and sinking fast
i ’••Jack!'
“Every one turned, and there stood
Nellie, dressod in white, pore as an an
gel, and seemed a visitor from heaven
come to guide them home. She glided
across the deck, a radiant smile was
upon her face, her arms were extended
to her lover. He took her without a
word, pressed s Idas upon her forehead
and held her olose, and still the radiance
raized so lovingly to his.

Did you ever hear of the Peck Over
bank? There is a peculiar story con
nected with the title of tlie institution.
The Peck Over bank, which at the time
of tho South sea trouble had another

Loudon. It was a conservative restitu
tion, us it is now, and when the bubble
burst nobly withstood the run upon its
resources. When every claimant had
been paid in full tbo cashier found that
he had a quantity of specie still on hand.
He was an enterprising fellow and saw
a chance for on advertisement. He pro
cured a peek measure, ana filling it up
with goitre guineas placed it in the win-
