Where Massachusetts llav sweeps to
wards the Cape, intrenched in green
bills and golden sands, sleeps the good'
old town of Plymouth, memorable, as
all tho world knows, for boingithe land
ing place of the English Puritans moro
than two centuries ago.
All this, being a matter of history, we
pass by, and introduce, without further
preamble, the Anderson family. 1 have
never seen the ceneiilogical records of
the Andersons, and am not sure of their
legitimate descent from the Puritan
stock. Uu that as it may, they inherit
ed their stern virtue and uprightness of
life, whether it came by blood, or' by
the more subtle inllucnco which per
meated tho atmosphere where they
lived and died so nobly and purely.
Penjainiu Anderson owned a farm of
some si.vty acres -very- prolific in -this
tles, sweet-fern and pitch-pines. " Hy I
the sweat of tbv Jimw sbiilt thou earn I
thy bread," adm.a'ed of tho broadest j
and most literal, interpretation in bis
case. Ho wrought pationtly. early and!
late, and thereby succeeded in wrenob-!
ing ti comfortable living from tlio un
willing soil. The sea befriended him in
many ways. It drove away tho frosts '
that looked enviously on bis unripened
lields; it washed lavish quantities of i
kelp from its gray rocks to enrich tho I
sou, and lurnislicd his tablo with an
abundance of daint,y fishes. It was, be
side, a continual inspiration. Itolling
in from far away misty skies, inlinito
and illimitable as the thought of Heav
en, it sung forever of action, and prog
ress, mid victory.
The farm house, facing toward tho
sea, was backed by a long, low, uiidti-.
biting bill, and this again by another, I
more abrupt and pronounced, densely
set with great spreading pines, looking I
like a vast emerald bowlder thrown up I
against the pale sapphire of tho skies. I
Jiclow were little rifts of green valleys; i
roads gloaming like- pale. gold in Che
sun; a shallow rii&li-hgrderod brook,
brightened by scarlet, cardinals and '
perfumed with meadowod mint; ami be- ,
yond all, the glare and (lash dud sparkle
of the sea. I
It was a lovely place this pleasant ,
littlo farm in the south of Plymouth;
bad it not been, the Andersons would
have long since listened to tho advice of '
Tom Arnold, Mrs. Anderson's brother,
anil sold it. Tom bad been in the West
a dozen years or more. He bail grow"
rich there, and so was enthusiastic about
the country. Jt, is often tlioioaso that
Eastern people whO'do:o4'"grow"riOh'in
the West, are not particularly enthusi
astic about it!
Hen Anderson bad long since given
up tlio thought of being a rich man, if
bo bad ever cherished it, as lie probably
bad at some timo in bis life, as nearly
every one docs. Ho had grown to bo
content with what bo had, and only now
and then a loiter from brother Tom"
broke up tho calm of bis spirit. As long
as Myra was content bo did not care.
ut"Myra" was not exactly content,
though ho did not know it. Tom's
glowing descriptions had fallen into bor
heart liko a spark of liro, which, as yet,
had only smouldered in darkness and
silence. She bad a woman's love for
pretty surroundings. Tho baro white
Hour, which she scoured thrice a week,
was not quite satisfactory, notwithstand
ing its spotless whiteness. She bad a
vory feminine weakness for soft carpets
and "stiitleil" fiirnituro, and as Tom
wroto her about bis, how elegant tboy
wore, and how much ho cave for them,
und so forth, bor own, 'half dozen
'cano seats," and her carpet manu
factured by bor own hands from strips
of cloth sewn togothor and woven into j
a heterogeneous melange of all concoiv- J
able colors, grew moro and moro unsat-1
Lsfactory to her. Sbo had a vague idea ;
that "tho West" was a sort of Alad
din's Lamp, that transmuted poor poo-vi
plo into rich ones wiinoui uio suguicsi
ceremony.
There "was anotbor thing that influ
enced bor. Ralph was most fifteen, and
:m only child so much hope centers in
tbeso only children. Ralph reminded
bor of her brother Tom a dozen times a
day liorv, daring, ambitious, dialing
against the narrowness and poverty that
hedged him in, aa Tom bad done. Tom
had gone West Ralph declared his in

"You are just liko Tom " ' .
"Yes, so I have heard," ho inter
rupted. " 1 suppose you wish I was

"Ralph, Robert wan't to blame if
Lulu was drowned. You do wrongly to
speak so," sbo replied gravely, but with
a little secret thrill of pride at her boy's
fearless spirit
" Wasn't to blame! Well, if had a

in, do you think I'd run home and wrap
my face up in my mother's gown and
cry, whihfcsho drowned? That's what

Hashing eyes. "1 only wish I bad

out of the room too indignant to m.iko
more talk about the mutter
Tho wind increased momently, and
the spray from tho incoming waves
hung like a veil along the long reach of
dripping sands. A hollow, hungry roar
came up and crept away behind tho
hills in shuddering echoes. A limb
from the great poplar in the yard fell
against the windows with; a cnisli just
as Ren Anderson drove- up'' to' the barn

tlie kitchen where his wife was trying
to coat the fire upifhhnuoy instead of
its coming into tho room, as it , hud for
the last half hour.
"I am so glad you have got home,
Hen!" she said, coming and laying her
hand on his arm. .
He saw bow whho she was, and no
ticed the band on bis arm trembled.
" What, nerv6iis, 'littlo. wom:iu?"" ho
asked, smiling.'" ' " "'" v
" I was so afraid the trees would blow
over and frighten the boro when you
came through tho woods," she replied,
with a little hysterical sob. " And tho
sea -just bear it!"
"7c is iu tlio storm as well as in the

peeing how nervous she was lie did not
tell bor how near bur fears, had iioniu,
to tho truth. A groat plno, stunding

instant, later and it would have crushed

waited in vain for his coming!
" Where is Ralph?" be asked, look
ing round, a sudden fear that be had
gone down the harbor overtaking him.
" 1 never saw such a boy tuiloss it
was brother Tom. Why, he is rigged
up in your old jacket, up on the hill;
he would go. tie thinks this is 'splen

ho was outside!" she added, with a
shudder.
" Heaven help those who w outside,"
Mr. Andersotl replied, Miborly.
" Do you think there aro any vessels
on tho coast?" sbo asked, anxiously.
"They bad been looking-oil' with
their glasses fron; Colo's Hill for an
hour or two when I left town. There
was a largo ship just discernible in tho
distance. Tho spray was so thick
'twas ne.M, 10 uupo.ssioie to nitiKo her

to sea; with this wind driving bor, if sho
became unmanageable from any cause,
it would bo a hard look."
"Father! there's a sail outside, and
it's driving in toward the point." Ralph
cried, excitedly, opening tlio door,
which sent a sudden sheet of Hume and
smoke half way across tho room.
"Come in, Ralph," Mr. Anderson
commanded.

There was a little pretense of oating,

"Have the toa-kottlo full of hot wa

the fb'e, and then going to a largo blue
chest in tile bedroom, took out a pile of
blankets and a roll of flannel, and
brought them out and laid them on the

and looked out; but the rain, which bad
in leased since nightfall, beat against
tlio glass witli blinding fury, and the
sashes creaked and rattled as if some
invisible band were seeking to wrench
them from their fastenings.
i'l'lie moments slipped slowly away;
jUie kettle scut ul a little cloud of white
mist, and the blankets Jyiug over the
chair-hacks were so warm that Mrs.
Andwson drew them back once or
twice, but Hon Andei'aon euiuo not; and
now it was nearly an hour and now a

Mrs. Anderson know it would bo uso
loss for her to object, and besides tho
suspense was getting too painful to boar
much longer.
" Ho careful, dear; the waves aro
strong and high, and if anything should

"O nonsense!" he interrupted, as sho

returned the kiss very fondly and ten

was, the mother know bis heart wits

membered only that, and forgot his
faults.
Again Myra Anderson waited and
listened as the moments went bv with
lagging feet
Tlio tldo had turned, but i
the .storm did not abate, as usual: in

She could not speak, but catching his

"Yes, yes," lie said hastily, "but go

she did not ptui.se nor turn, but, weak,

The dozen men on tho shore were too
busy to notice her approach, but one of
them hoard Nod Hradlco's shout, and
looked up. Ho look a stop or two for

Hirhts on the shore and the one Hrniller

made him pause an instant, then with u
bound he sprang up the dripping, setlgj

"Myra! are you crazy?" ho cried,
holding her white, stony face toward the
light Hradlee brought up.
"0, Hen! and you aro not deadP"
she gasped, with a long, shivering sob.
"Dead! What nut that into yolu

"You woro gone so long! mid then all

sbo said slowly, as if just waking from ti

llo drow her a littlo closer in his arms
and turned her face toward tho sea.
About half a mile from tho shore a shir,
lay on her sido, the waves washing ovci
her, and tossing their foaming spraj
high abovo tlio broken masts and hiC
tcrcd sails.
" We hnvo been trying to savo them,
but it was too late; they woro probably
exhausted and sank without a struggle
poor fellows!" ho said, gravely.
" O. thnt wreck why, L had forgot

away from tlio gloomy picture, which
was, however, photographed on bet
brain indelibly.
" Hurra! hurra!" camo up from a point
a dozen rods orso to tho south. Some-
body was swinging a lantern wildly ovet

It's Nod Hradlee," said one of the
nien. " I saw him boadiii' that wa a

Wait hero, Myra; till come back,"
Anderson said, hastily. A sudden
tlioucht, had m-nt tin. blood bunk, with

an icy chill to his heart. Ralph had gone
down that way nearly a half hour ago,
and iu tho excitement lie bad quite for

Hut be bad full timo lo remember now
as ho ran on after his neighbors full
timo, because the thoughts of a lifetime
sometimes crowd themselves into one
little moment's space. Ho remem
bered that he luidspokei) .sharply to bim
for coming, and bade him get out of the
way, tolling him it wjis "a, bpy's, place
tit home until tboy were large enough to
be of service, instead of being iu the
way of men who mirhl do something."
O, who in all theiworld could ever fill
tho place the little .place --again, tlmt
one .slight form had filled.
Hut he was getting nearer and near
or, but with the feeling one experiences
iu nightmare, it seemed as if his feet
were lead and ho could not lift them.
He hardly dared -turn bis eves toward
the Utile circle of friends and neigh

Hen Andorsou stopped short mid
