A DRAMA OF THE SEA.
Deeply touched, and still quivering
with emotion, I -write these lines.
ilany and full of terrors are the sea
tragedies enacted on this island, that if
nevertheless rightly named the "beauti
ful." Its lovable and courteous inhabitants
are divided into two distinct classes
fanners and fishermen.
The former plant wheat, com, oats
and potatoes.
The latter catch the sweet Seshed
tunny fish, sardines and lobsters.
Neither farmers nor fishermen ever
become rich, and meat is almost un
known in their homes.
The people are, therefore, far from
strong, the women especially being ten
der and delicate, with straight noses,
slender, graceful necks and a slow, aris
tocratic carriage.
The men are of medium height and
well built, but lack the vigor eharac
terizing the peasants of Normandy.
The islanders are proud and never
beg. A careful observer cannot fail tc
notice that among the many wrinkles
which give character to their faces
those written by laughter are wanting.
Both men and women have a serious
r.il melancholy air, ami their foreheads
seem burdened with sad memories cr s
certain restlessness Has net each one
a fatht-r. a brother, or a sou on the ma
lignant water that lies out there out
there encircling the island everywhere
as far as the eye can reach?
Here these people have lived for cen
turies surrounded by a moving, agitated
cemetery that smiles so alluringly and
at the same time so savagely.
Occasionally the laughter of a cbih4
in one of the huts bnLbies out toward its
mother working in the fields Her fac
lightens up for a moment. Lot she dare
not seem happy, for cs she turns there
lies the sea, and its waves sob they
roll at her feet.

Yesterday there stood near me a
dainty little girl cf 13 She shaded hei
eyes with one hand in order to watch at
long as possible her brother, who was
walking down the street l :;ding to the
harbor of BordVrv. SoU riy as a matrou

Good catch!"
The bey disappeared, and his sistei
returned to arrange her little household
for the home coming vf In tb her broth
ers, as the three were orphans to whom
the state paid a small pension.
The girl was dressed in mourning.

grief.
Yes. there they lived, the three or
phans. The elder brother, aged IS, had
arisen at daybreak to be ready fcr his
share of sardines, and the ether, a lac
of 15, was just to depart with his cousin
Pierre-Marie to catch lobsters.
The three companions, Pierre-Marie
Gouenautiu, Eugene (Jouenantin, the
orphan, and Michel Samzun, boarded a
little boat, L'Enfant dn Desert, hoisted
its pale blue sail cud disappeared.
The heavens were slightly misty, the
wind came cut cf the west, and 1, sit
ting on the recks, looked before mc,
dreaming the endless dreams bom of
the changeless yet ever changing sea as
one gazes into its depths, full of charm
and mystery.
Faraway cries caused me to turn my
head and look about.
A flock of screaming sea gulls flying
above me had attracted my attention I
was just about to leave the rocks when
new cries reached my cars. These were
piteous and broken like the sobs cf a
child. I arose and, looking toward the
island where the lighthouse of I'oulains
stands, saw .Mother Le Pelletier, the
wife of the lighthouse keeper, down on
her knees, waviug her handkerchief,
weeping and calling for help.
Workmen, bciy in the neighborhood,
saw the woman just as 1 did. In a few
moments the little island was crowded
with people.
What a painful, what a terrifying
spectacle!
Opposite the point of the island, 300
meters from land, lay the boat L'En
fani. du Desert capsized. Her sails were
under water, and on her keel, which
rose in the air, clung Eugene Gouenan
tin, the orphan. His face was as pale as
a winding sheet, his eyes were closed,
and his head, a plaything for the waves,
swayed from right to left. With my
telescope I could follow the entire de
velopment of the tragedy.
The child had become helpless and
was just about to loosen his hold of the
boat. Bight near him lay Michel Sam
zun, clasping the edge of the keel con
vulsively, crying ;ontinually for help.
His voice, hoarse with the death strug
gle, was partly drowned I y the waves
rolling furiously over him, as if reluc
tant to surrender their prey.
A hundred meters from them Pierre
Marie Gouenautiu disappeared in the
water, the boat's oar under his shoul
ders; but, strong and vigorous as he was,
he arose with a cry of jy, for he had
seen Father Le Pelletier coming. The
lighthouse keeper, hearing the cries for
help, had jumped into his boat and
pushed from the shore withcut waiting
for any of his companions for fear of be
ing too late.
He was obliged to round the coinr.
"Courage! Hold fast!"' called Michel
Samzun to the little sailor hanging to
the keel. "Courage! Father Le Pelle
tier is here, onr gallant deliverer."
Then on came a wave, a sheer wall
of water, with a. foaming crest, and
buried the boat. When it had spent i:
self, Michel raised his head and looked
about the keel was empty. Far away
the wave was now rolling, and in its
cruel bosom it held the orphan boy. Fi
nally it disappeared in a whirl of wa
ters, boiling and swirling in a horrible
struggle for their victim.
The sun just then pierced the fog and
shone dimly on the raging, tumultuous
sea. In the meantime Father Le Pelle
tier had rescued Pierre-Marie Gouenan
tin, and then rowed to the place where
the accident occurred. Great tears roll
ed over the weather stained cheeks of
the brave lighthouse keeper, as with in
expressible tenderness he loosened Mi
chel Samzun 's cramped hands from the
boat's keel.
For three-quarters of an hour the
three fishermen had struggled with the
waves and with the winds that had
been blowing furiously for the last 20
minutes. When Michel's fingers were
released, Father Le Pelletier drew him
into the boat and placed him next to
Pierre-Marie. It being now certain that
the orphan was lost, the lighthouse
keeper made for the island where
Mother Le Pelletier was waiting with
dry underclothing. stGckings, shoes and
coats, while my maid had prepared a
drink oi hot wine.
Finally Le Pelletier stepped on shore
and the two poor shipwrecked mariners
followed. The pilot shook the former by
both hands, saying over and over:
' Brave fellow, brave fellow! Another
rescue added to your long list. "
"Oh." answered Le Pelletier, pale
with sorrow and in a bitter tone, "a life
has been lost!" And, although worn
out and wet to the skin, he assisted the
two fishermen, whose teeth were chat
tering, into some dry clothing.
Michel Samzun conld not open his
hands, so swolleu were they They hung
down limp as the hands of the dead and
seemed to be clutching something invis
ible. Pierre-3Iarie, the elder this was his
second shipwreck recovered first. With
half suppressed anger he looked at the
sra and cursed it. Then in taking off
his soaked wool jacket he ft It his watch.
He held it to bis ear. "It did not step, "
he exclaimed, tapping the lid lightly
"It is a very good watch. "
When the sailors were dressed again
and somewhat warmed by the wine,
they asked about their boat A deep
flush spread over Pierre-Marie's face
when he heard that the pilot, Alexan
dre, had saved it. Although the sailors'
limbs were still trembling and their
hair stiff and wet from the salt water
they at once stepped into the vessel,
hoisted sail and steered for the pretty
harbor of Bordery Some one must tell
"la petite Gouenantin. "
I took the road and arrived at the
same time. The murmurs of the sym
pathetic crowd was the first premoni
tion the little girl had that something
was wrong. She came out of her dcor,
still dressed in black, her restless little
head covered with a white coif. She
saw the farmers and fishermen form in
to a group She knew rhey were pitying
her as they turned aside their heads.
She could hear the "alas, alas!" which
the wind carried to her.
A nameless fear urged the girl for
ward to meet the crowd. With pale
face and eyes wide open with horror
the child understood at once when she
saw the two fishermen alone. She fled
back home, calling out in tones broken
by grief: "He is dead! He is dead!"
This was her message to the unseen
dwellers there.
"He is deud! He is dead! Dead with
out confession!" she cried and fell down
befoie the black crucifix that hung on
the white wall.
"He is dead! He is dead!" she whis
pered, kneeling on the floor, her head
pressed against the stones, her arms
spread out toward the crucifix.
And the crowd of fishermen and farm
ers stood on the doorsill. They held
their hats in their hands. They did not
speak. They found no word of comfort.
And 1 I was in their midst, one of
them. From the French of Sara Bern

Lady Pendulum.
From the New York Tribune comes
a story, which Mr. Mccdy recently
told, illustrative ox the fact that to the
power of single hearted perseverance
there is no ki'.o- u limit:
When J was in London some years
ago, I saw a lady in my audience who
could not walk and had 2. chair on
wheels in which she was brought into
church. The lock of disgust on her face
and the attention she attracted in being
brought into the meetings made me
take notice of her. I spoke to her one
day, and she said :
"Mr. Moody, when this excitement is
over and you have gone back to Amer
ica the people will go back to their old
ways. They wGn't keep on. They can't
do it."
I talked with her for some time, but
she stuck to her poinr. A day or two
afterward I told the fable of the clock :
The pendulum counted how many times
it would have to tick before it was
worn out, and it was so appalled at the
number that it wanted to give up right
there, saying, "I never can do it."
"But," said one of th other parts of
the deck, "it is caly a tick at a time."
"That is just what some cf you are
doing," I said, "saying that 'after Mr.
Moody goes back to America the excite
ment will die out. We will not keep it
up. We can't g-t grace enough to do
so. ' Get grace enough to live a tick at
a time, a step at a time, " said I.
That woman went home and bought
a clock with a pendulum and put it
where she could see it. She preached so
much about "a tick at a time" that her
friends called her Lady Pendulum.
The day before returning to America
I received a package from her. In it
was a clock, and the letter with it said :
"Please put this clock in your room,
and when yea look at it remember that
Lady Pendulum is still living a tick at
a time."

A correspondent who signs bin self

to the London Telegraph: "Ycur ac

me of the experience cf a gallant French
officer who was a friend of mine, then
a young man, in the Crimea General
Pelissier. He was rather careless about

one day he surprised all his friends "by
appearing in a Luaguifict-nc shepherd
tartan suit. They were all envious of
his splendid runic ut. At night he join

by a cheerful, blazing tire. The place
got intolerably warm, and when Pe
lissier rose to go the company were
amazed to find the shepherd tartan

nary manner. The sleeves of the coat
dropped to Ihe floor, then the back, and
the trousers also foil off in detachments.
An examination showed that the seams,
instead of l:ing sewed, were glued to

Here are a few rules for you, under the
decimal system. Though uog exactly cor
rect, they are about whac should bo the
case.
Ten hens in a house 10 by 10 feet art
enough.
The yard should bo at least ten times as
large as the floor of the house.
Ten weeks from shell to market is the
time allotted a chick.
Ten cents per pound is about the aver
age price of hens in market for the whole
year.
Ten cents should feed a chick ten weeks,
and it should then weigh two pounds, il
highly fed. the 10 cents covering the great
est abundance of food.
Ten months in the year is usually the
highest limit of time during which a hea
will lay.
Ten hens with one male is about the
proportion.
Ten quarts of com or its equivalent
should feed he n ten weeks, if she is of a
large breed, but ten quarts in three
months is a. fairer proportion.
Ten pounds is a good weight for males
of the larger breeds, I year old.
Ten eggs is the average number to each
pound.
Ten flocks, each consisting of ten hens,
are enough for an acre.
Ten chicks, when just hatched, weijri
about one pound.
Ten hens should layabout 1,000 eggs
