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. • • • ft ft “The ship went down. While ett gllng In the water a rafter come to me, and 1 clung toll. 1 looked around, and on tho crest of a wave being borne toward me wofe Nellie and Jack, as 70a see them there. Her face was raised to heaven and his, and all the happiness of angels was depicted there, and—then tho waters—came over them and” My friend’s eyes were wet with tears, and I had heard the story.—Cecil Hast ings in Omaha World Herald.
