Ordinal. 1
One summer moonlight night I was
by the waves. 1 would rather bo near
them on moonlight nights than at nny
other time, especially when broken
clouds give the sky and the waters
variety. I never go to the hotels. I
get as far nwny from them as I can,
stopping usually nt some fisherman's
cottnge. On this occasion I had
pitched n tent on the beach and In
habited It alone. I was lying under
my ennopy, tho flops thrown asldo so
that from my bed blankets only I
could look out on tho ocean. There
was the sky, light clouds slowly drift
ing across the face of tho moon, tho
lino of tho horizon dividing the lighter
from the dnrker hemisphere. Tho ocean
plane met tho path of moonlight broad
enlng toward mo from afar, the waves
lazily rolling In nnd bursting on tho
shore.
I havo wondered slnco if tho music
of tho waters put mo to sleep and I
awakened or whether I did not sleep.
At any rate, my attention was ar
rested by something white, at least
lighter than tho Band, down near the
vergo. I watched It There -was an
occasional fluttering about It, Hko a
woman's uklrta gcnUy moved by a
brcczo. It appeared to bo about tho
height of a human figure, though really
In my perception of it thcro was no
such thing aa size, and was gently
uwaylng llko n very young tree shaken
by the wind.
Presently It moved. Then I was con
scious that It was coming toward me.
I had no suporstlUous fear. I was sim
ply curious. As tho thing approached
It ciuuo gradually out of nebula into
the form of a woman. There was a
certain grace of movement, a lightness
which, mingled with n slight rising nnd
falling, wna confusing. Had the figure
appeared on tho water surface 1
should havo thought my eyes wore
transfiguring n sail that was rising and
falling on tho waves.
It wns only when It enme nent
that I distinguished the outline of a
girl's figure not a summer visitor, one
of plainer mold, doubtless a fisher Ins
ole. She stopped a few yards from
mo, turned nnd looked out on tho
ocean. Tlicn, turning again witnout
appearing to uotlco or enro who was In
tho tent, she naked:
"Ih thnt n boat out there?"
"What aro you doing out hero at this
tlmo of night? Do you know whnt
time It Is?"
"No."
I drew my watch from my vest
pocket. I Blent in my clothes. "It's
half past 1."
"Is It?" She manifested no interest
at the hour. She stood looklug out at
sea, apparently watching for another
sight at tho boat
"There it Is. Heavens, how they
bond to tho work."
I raised myself on my elbows nnd
Btrnlned my eyes to discern If I could
boo what the girl saw. Surely thcro
was no boat out whero she was look-
lug. Tho dark face of tho ocean was
expressionless excopt where tho moon
light trailed over It
"I soo no boat" I said.
"It's in tho trough of tho sen now."
"Thero Is but n slight trough. Even
If a boat wero lost to sight between
tho waves It would roappear In n few
moments."
Sho stood peering out on the ocean.
A cloud floated over the moon. She
said with u moan, n noto of despair.
rather, It seemed to mo:
"Oh, how lllack!"
Tho cloud wus denser than nuy that
had obscured the moon before. The
last words I heard spoken by tho girl
were, "They're coming," nnd she began
to movo toward tho ocean, fading away
in tho Bhadow of tho cloud. When it
passed I looked for her, but sho was
nowhere to bo seen. 1 lay thinking,
wondering, for awhllo, then, lulled by
tho wnves, fell asleep.
When I nwokc tho sun was rising
out of tho oceap, whilo tho wnroa were
plnshlng languidly. The first thing I
thought of was the girl of the night
boforn. I drifted between many opln
Ions. Possibly I may havo dreamed It
all. But uevor beforo had I dreamed
about one n stranger to mo whose faco
and figure I could remember, while
hern I remombored distinctly. Was
sho not somo girl who had been do
monted by misfortune?
I went to breakfast at n fisherman's
cabin. It was n rude place, the only
docoratlon being n lithograph of the
Virgin Mary, but I got thero plenty of
sea food. The fisherman was prepar
Ing to go out In his boat while his wife
waited on me. 1 was full of my dream
or wlmtevor It wns, and related It.
Tho man stopped his preparations
pud listened with a look of horror,
making tho sign of the cross, while his
wifo turned and covered her eyes with
her hands.
I looked nt them wondcrlngly. It
was pinin time i una struck some
blight in their lives. Should I probe
it by questions or spare them? What
had I, to gain by fo cing a recltnl that
would giro them Infinite pain? If
there was any connection between
them nnd my apparition It needed no
strong Imagination to replace It.
Lying In my tent during that day I
wovo tho story. I saw a ship out on
tho bar, tho wnves beating furiously
ngnltiHt It. The shore wns lined with
people. Presently n boat was lowered
nnd n crew from the wrc k made an
attempt for their lives. It lovo nnd fell
on tho waves, its bow now pointing
to tho sky, Its stern now sliding down
out of Bight. Thon it hung for ono
instant on tho seething lino of foam
nnd was hurled bottom upward.
Perhaps It contained tho girl's lover,
