Beyond tho red marshes lay tho sea,
In the gray November days It wns a
tumbling sea, with tho waves topped
with white foam, and coming In heav
ily through tho rusty marsh grass.
But It was at low tide that Marta's
llttlo dory slipped down tho silver
pathway of tho streams that cut their
way through the marshes.
Sometimes she mot Sim Gregory
coming back with lobsters from the
early morning catch, and Sim would
shake back his black lock, and would
ask In IiIb surly way, "What, good
things are you taking to your dad this
morning, Marta?" and Marta would
plpo up with her clear note,'"It,B fried
clams."
For Marta's father worked on the
now causeway, helping with his, labor
to mako a permanent way to tho
rocky promontory which was cut off
from tho mainland nt high tide.
Sim Gregory, or, as tho people of
tho town called him. "Black Gregory,"
did not work on tho causeway. Ho
preferred tho free method of earning
his living in thu cca. He sold his lob
sters to the summer hotels, and In
winter sent them to tho city Sim
enred little for money. Perhaps thirt-
wna tho reason ho had tho name of be
ing peculiar.
It was becauso Marta carried her
father's dinner down the sliver high
ways that Sim Gregory camo through
the marshes with his morning's catch
rather than lnnd at tho docks in deep
er water.
Sim loved Marta. Every day ho
brought her some ottering from tho
kcu. Sometimes Marta refused tho
gifts. "I can't take them," sho said to
Sim, ono morning, as ho held out to
nor a pair of shining mackerel.
"Why not?"
Mnrta looked nwny from him as sho
answered. "Mother Bays it isn't right.
She wants sho wants mo to marry
Edward Pond, Sim."
Sim leaned far over and drew her
dory closo to his own with a strong
hand.
"Marta," ho Bald, with a sharp In
take of his breath, "Marta, are you
going to marry Ed?"
Sho shook her head. "No. no, I
don't love him, but mother has set her
heart on it."
"Why does she want to Bell you?"
Marta raised her head quickly.
"Don't you speak of It that way. Moth
er doesn't realize she only thinks
that Edward ,1s prosperous." t , '
That night tho wind blew away ho
fog, but it also blew itself Into a
strong gale, which Increased as, (Uto
day advanced, until, at sunset, sky and
water showed tho blackness of a
storm.
It was not until midnight, however,
that tho people of tho town began to
bo afraid. Then It was learned that a
half-dozen of tho boats that had gono
out early In tho morning had not come
back. Tho men from tho life-saving
station were on tho watch, and fires
were lighted and bells wcro rung. ,,
Up and down tho beach went tho
people whoso sons and husbands and
fathers were nt sea. Mothers wept
for their boys, children for their parents.
But nobody wept for Sim. Only Mar
ta. straining her eyes through tho
hlnoknflss. nraved that he misht bo
safe that ho might come back to her,
A shout went up, as somowherc, out
in tho leaping blackness, there shono
a llgnt hko a mar. me meuum,
working its way against wlud and
wave brought back ftvo men.
"Everybody Is eafc," said some one
near Mnrtn.
Marta, searching tho bronzed faces,
asked. "Did you did you find Sim
Gregory!"
"Wo saw him Just aB tho storm
hrolto," Bald ono of tho men. "Wo
shouted, but be was too far away to
hear us wo haven't seen him since."
All night long tho lifo guards pa
trolled the beach. All night long Mar
fa strained her eyes out to sea. When
dawn came the wind died, and tho sun
came un. rosy red. above the horizon.
And as it rose It showed far out on the
tossing waters a black speck.
"It's a boat!" said Marta.
"And there's a man In It, miss,"
said one of the guards.
Then Marta fled homeward to hear
the reproaches of her mother.
It was nearly noon when Marta
went across the red marshes with her
father's lunch.
When ahe met Sim Gregory she
dared not look up.
"Marta," he called, and brought his
boat close to hers, and bis voice was
eager as he spoke, "they told me, on
tho beach, that you waited all night
for news of me."
She answered him as sho had an
swered, her mother, "Surely a man has
right to have one heart cry out for him
when he's at the mercy of tho wind
and waves." "
"Did your heart cry, Marta?"
In spite of ber self-consciousness,
she told him the truth. "If you bad
died my heart would have died with
you, 81m."
No one could have called him "Black
Gregory" If thoy could have seen him
nt that moment. HIb face was melted
irs'n tcn'orness.
i think P came back because you
willed mo, Marta," he said. "There
was one moment when In ibo black
ness I lost hope, but something seem
ed to .urge 'Marta's waking,' ard so 1
