Ono sovcnteonth day of August, not many years ago, a party of i'our, con sisting of .loo llarrett and his wife, their niostintiiuato friend Phil Somers, and Miss Maud Mortimer, a young lady they hojied he might bo induced to consider tho futuro happiness of his existonce, stood quito alone upon a narrow strip of sand on tlio Long Island coast, not far from tho iireat 111 -'r ipolis. Joe Barrett and his wifo ! ha 1 ng ago been given over by their i rei ;'ivcs aiid friends, and tlio genial i circl of socicty they adorned, as an , pld-lashioncd eouple that prolonged j thoir honeymoon to a most unprece-, dento'l and unheard-of period. They had lately celebratod their silver wed ding. and for tho ainusemont of others an'! tho romanco for thcmelves would ha. gone through with the orig'tnal ' cer .nony aga:n had it not been lor a 1 Ecn 'tis obstacle. Tho clergyman was 1 still alivc and vigorous for his years, and l'hil Somers, Joe's best man at his j Wf dding, was yet his best friend, but i he palo pretty little bridcmaid had vanished long ago off tho faco of the j earth, and boi-omo one of tho shadowy j band to which " wc call, and they ; answer not again." i There was a rumor that if slio had lived sho would have bceomc tho wifo of i'h 1 .Somers, thus makingtho happi-1 ne.'-s of tho four eomplete. It was i cu rently bplieved that beeauso of this ! tn uer and romantic opisodein his lifo I'h 1 somers had remained a bachelor. In ..is younger days this anparent halo of : uft regret and unappuai-able long-1 lng lent a melancholy graco to his already pleasing extenor, and many a damsel endeavorcd toconsole him; but i altliougli lie was gentle and cven chiv- aliic to all woinankind, he remaiiii d, ' to all n.atrimonial poses, uncono!ed. intcnts and pur- And horo ho was, a bachelor still, fifty years old, getting rather grizzled about tho teinples and crow-footed about the eycs, broned by his partial ity for tho open air, thin but muscular, tall but straight; whilo Joe Uarrett and his wifo might both pass for "fat, fair and forty," though they werc not bo many yoars rhil's jtiniois. And hcre they were, plotting as liv- 'y as ever for I'hil's eonnubial bliss. T1 ; -i sent victim of their toils, al th' h no longer in her first youth, w .d havo suemel so in any other li; t but tho critical ono of sun against s. i. .: and now that thick bands of gr..y c'ouds lay hcavily across tho sky, temi ering the brillianv of the sun's rays, and the young la'dy had pulled her veil about tho outlines of her fa e, Miss Mortimer seemed at the lieyday of 1-ercliarms. AVhilo waiting for dinner, whicli was in prososs of preparation in along, low hotlory a doen furlongs orso iuland, they had strollcd down to tho water's edgc, and, true to the jdan in hand, Joe Uarrett had pulled his wife's ohubby hand through his arm and trotted her away from l'hil and the young lady. "Let's leavo thoni alonc together for awhile," said Joe. "It heemsa ropi tious time for love-making, and I hopo sonielhing will come of to-dav's trii), l'olly, I'm getting awfully tired of ' wo.-Jdng liko a pack-horse for rhil's uappiness. AVliUestrolling along they indulged in a spirited couversation about l'hil and the matrinionial projects in whicli they had been engaged on his account. At last Joo remarked, looking fondly at his wife: "I'dbotho happiest fel low in the worldif l'hil could behappy too." His wifo shook his arm impatiently. "Seo here, .loe," sho said, "I t.iink you are absurd aboat l'hil Somers, and you mav as well understand, onco for all, thatif this thingfalls through, I'm n'jtgoing to bother about his marrying at all. It's none of your business or mine. I dcn't l.eliovo ho wants to marry, anyway. Some natures aro so constituted that they can only lovo once, and I believo all tho love l'hil liad to givo any ono was snuandered jng ago on our dear littlo bridcmaid. After all, thero' cro s something very sweet andtouching in his remaining faithful to tno ono memory all tlieso years." Jo shifted uneasily from ono foot to the other. lle picked up a stone, and sent it saagely whirring ovor the water. " l'olly," ho said, "I think I'll tako a plunge in tho sea; it will tone mo up, and g vo mo an appetito for din ner. Thero's a bathing suit in ono of he little cribs behind us." "Look at that big cloud, Joo," "I won't stay in long, l'olly." IIo gavo his wifo a tender squoeze, 'ooked down upon her with an expresion that seemed to say ho'd kiss her if it wouldn't shock Mis3 Mortimer's seuso of propriety, ran up to tho bathing house, and, to the surpriso of Phil and Miss Mortimer, prosently disappcared in a nii go green wavo tliat cuverou them 'with its spray. ".Tooisa rogular water-dog," said Phil. Miss Mortimer mado no reply. Sho had not como down to tho seashoro that day to Usten to laudations of Joo j Barrett and hlj wife. Miss Mortimer fcit that she had no timo to lose, and was resolved to waste no words upon Jog Barrctt's niarltimo iiroclivities. J'hil, howover, kopt his cyes upon Joo as lio swam out to tho open sea, and went on tnlking about hlm with out rcquiring any spcciul rcply. " Joe is a littlo' impulslvo and reck les3, perhaps," said l'hil, " but he's a capital swlmmer." "It is growing rold," sald Miss Mortimer, eontracting hor shouldors in that graccful way that somo womon havo of making a shivcr attra"tivo. Plill remenibored with reinorso tliat licr wrap was hanging forgotten upon his arni. IIo hastoned to put it about her shouldcrs, but tho wind, whl h was raislng to a gale, mado tho effort a prolonged one. "Don't you hatc tlio windf" said Miss Mortimer, coquettishry. " I am nover ungratcful," said Pliil, capturing tho ends of tho shawl again, and liolding thein fast this timo about her slcndor form. A koen look of in ipicnt triumph llaslied f rom Miss Mortimer's eycs. I'hil's words always scomed to mean so mmh nioro tlian tlioy said. And slio could not, unfor tunately, sco that his cyes wcro still looking' flxodly ovcr her liead upon tlio water beyond the surf. Ashaft or two of wild light flashcd down upon tho scene. An oniinotis i ruinblo from tho douds minRled with the roar of tho soa. Sud'lenly tho earth and sky wcro enveloped in a blinding glare. In this spcctral light l'hil distinctly saw Joo llarrett tling his arms wiklly aloft and disappear in tho darkening waste. l'hil threw off his shoos and his coat as ho ran to tho sea, and Miss Morti mcr liad great dilliculty in rescuing his vest, which was nearly carried out by a returning wave. ller eostuine was drenehed with tho spray, and she ncarly lost her footing ; but she saved the waistcoat, which contained i'hil's watch and othor valuables. Thcn slio hurried to tho shelter of tho batliing hotises, for the rain now begsn to fall lieavily. Tlirough tho blackuess of the storm she saw tho,whito faco of a wouian. Miss Mortimer knew it was Mrs. Uarrett running wildly down to tho water, but she atteinptcd no rc nionstrance. Slio had mado up her mind that of the party of four that went down to the sea that day two would probaldy never rcturn, perhaps three. It was" impossible to say what niight happen whero such iinpulsivo peuple wcre coneorned Some men from the inn werc now liurrying to tJie sene ol peru, anu, j iinding it linpo.siulo to lnduco Mrs. J'arrett to seek shcltcr, had thrown about her a rough tarpaulin, from the liarsli folds of whicli lier haggard faee and wind-blown hair was a sorry sig, jht to sec. The two bodies were now coming in atop of tho foam'ng ;-urf, with no help or hinderancc of their own, andclosely locked together, wero swopt hwiftly ahoro witltother preyof tho elements. They wero narrowly rescued from tho groi-dy maw of the returning wave, and carried with all : peed to the little inn, where evcrything was in readine to ro-toro t ons iou noss to tho one and foster itin the other. The -torin pas ed away as suddenly a it caMie. The palo glow of twilight deepened into night. There w.n no moon, but the.stars shone over tho bay and the harbor and the dusky little promontory. To look at the gcntlo r.pplo of wavoi lapping laily along uwn the :-and, l'hil could liardly believo thatjso littlo timo ago two men had been dono almost to their death. Ho could s 'arcoly stagger out into tho wooden porchof the inn tobreathetho cold-ctnted air. And as for .Joe, (iod only knew what would befall him. IIo had been broughtback to lifo, but not to conciounes '. l'olly had managed to get word to tho town phjMcian, but the way was long and tho sand was heavy. It must have been about midnight; l'hil could not tell tho ova.'t time. 111s watcli was in his waistcoat, under Mhs Mortimor's liead, in tho bed of tho landla lv. l'hil had told them not to awaken Miss Mortimer; under no circumstances; he was so glad sho was asleep and it would be impossi ble to say how glad ho was. Tho lateh of the door clicked behind him. I'hil's heart sank. IIo was afraid Miss Mor timer liad, after all, been awakened. But a faltering, uncertain step reached him, and tho cold littlo hand of l'olly Uarrett elutched his arm. Any ono but l'hil would novcr havo known her. Tho last remnant of her soft round comeliness seemed swopt away with tho storm. All hor wonianly criinps and fripperies were gone. Sho wore an ill-lltting gown of tho landlady's. Iler wholo face was of a wan gray pallor, liko tho waves under tho cold light of tho stars. " Is Joo better?" stammercd Phll. " Does ho know " "IIo knows evcrything, and perhaps ho's better. uu, J'liUl" l'olly ro. i presscd her sobs, and motionod l'hil to ; tho door. " Ho is determined I shall try and get somo sloep, and that you shall watch with him for a whilo. As if I could sleep ! Ilut go to him, Phil; don't thwart him go 1" l'hil went in to .loe. no will nover forget the hw-coil?d room, tho two wooden chairs, the pino taUi', whereon a mop of raggod wick tlared from a saucer of oil, tho bottlo of liquor with in reach, and tho coarso green glass, tho grlm old cloek in tho corner tlclc ing off tho seconds, and Joo's ghastly faco and motionloss forra upon tho camp cot in tho corner. Joo tried to stretch out his hand to Phil, but it fcll back lieavily upon tho patchwork quilt of tho landlady. "You did your best, riiil," ho said; "you brought mo ashoro, but tho troublo was dono out there; something selzed mo, Ood knows what paraly sis, cramps, palsy who can tell? Anyway, I'm dono for, old man. 1 can't inovo a musclo below. It's a mero question of timo, Phil, and wo can't alioru to loso any. "I hopo you'ro wrong, Joo; wo'll know better when tho doctor comos. You wero riglit not to tcll l'olly. J5ut sho must como to you, Joo." l'hil would havo gone at onco for l'olly, butsoinethinc in Joo's faco hcld 1 him back. llold on a bit, l'hil. I didn't scnd for you and drivo l'olly away to tell you somothlng that you'll both know soon cnough. Thero's a burden on my conseienr e, J'hil ; it's bccn lying thero liko a pluminct of lead all theso yoars. Liston to ine, and don't interrupt mo if you can help it. Glvo me somo of that stuff from tho bottle, and whcn I grow weakr givo mo moro." l'hil lifted Joo's liead and put tho glass to his lips ; thcn ho sat down upon tho cdgo of tho cot, lcaving his arm between Joo's ncck and pillow. Joo could fecl I'hil's pulso now, and tho loyal heart of his friend beatlng eloso to his own. "It's twenty-(lvo years, l'hil," sald Joe, "sineo th.it night wo drovo down to tho shoro horo and had that talk togcther. You rcniembor it, l'hil?" " Ycs, Joo." "Ah! you'vo roniembcrcd it too well, l'hil ; l'vo trlcd hard onough, Ood knows, to mako you forgot. The sun was sinking over yonder in tho west, and sky and sea were all ailame. Somo lleocy clouds droppcd low over tho old shcd whero wo had ordcred somo i latns. I rcmcmber when I saw l'olly that night. The dress she woro was liko a stab to mo ; it was of somo soft lloatlng matcrial that rcmindod mo of tho woolly ilouds over tho old shi d. You didn't eat tho clams, l'hil. You dallied with the shells, and turned thcm over with tho queer old fork they had given you. And all at onco you put them aside, and lighted a cigar, and turned your faco to tho sea, and began to talk of a womiln you secrctly loved. 2sow givo mo somo wine, l'hil." l'hil put tho glas3 again to Joe'a lips. " Don't talk any moro, .loe," ho said. "Lot mc go for l'olly." "Xot yet," said Joo. "You were a handsonio follow, l'hil, twenty-livo years ago. As you went on to talk of tho wouian you secretly loved, somo sort of a light shone upon your faco froin tho splendor in tlio west that mado it liko that of an archangel. It soemi d to mc that no wonian could withstand you. My heart grow like a luinp of ice. My fimt thought was to walk out into tho water and stranglo mysclf ; my next was a resolvo to be tray you. 1 must have been tempted by tho dovil, for, as (iod is my judgo in this awful moment of my life, I n(.v.r drcamed bcforo that nitdit that you and I wero in love with tho ono weman. I tjot upon my feet and shouted. 'She is niine !' glaring upon you with a dogged, reoluto stare. ' Have vou, thcn, askcd her to marry you':' you said, and your faco still looked like an archangd's, whilo mino must havo been inllaincd with the pas sions that boset a man boyond his stnngth. Aslrepeated, 'Shois my promissd wife,' the word.s sosmed to leap from a throat of fire; it was tho llrst downright, hideous, malicious lio 1 ever uttered, for I had not yet askcd her I had not yet askcd her; but when I dld ask her, upon that very night, tho next lio slipped casily from my p?rjured throat, though it was a w" rso ono by far. For I told l'olly, l'hil I told'hcr before I askcd her to marry me that you had confessod to me your love for her friend, tlio poor little girl that afterward becamo our bridemaid. AVhether it was myguilty conscience, that-makos hell enough for an- man, I fan -ud I saw something in i'olly's oyes that told me, had it not been for my tr.'achory, your chanco would hao been better than nvno. Xow take your arm away from my neck, l'hil, and cnrse mo if you will my story is done." Tho pulsi' at Joo's ear loapcd and tugged as if it would burst an artery, but Phil's voico had tho old tendef ring. " You might havo spared yoursolf all this,'' ho said. "I think l'olly has proved who it wa3 that sho loved. "Ah. after that night, l'hil, yo. l'olly is not the kind of woman to mako tho misery of men. Ilut I cheated you of your chancc I cheated you of vour chancc 1" " lio it so, Joo. I forgivo you, and 1 lovo you all tho sanic. Xow throw olT tho burden, and live for Polh's sakc and mine." "Too late, too late," faltercd tho failing lips. They refused totouch tho glass. Tho limp body fell back almo4 lifeless in I'hil's arms. Then .loo aroused himsolf onco more, and called for Polly in a harh, strained voico that reached her dcspito tho roar of the sea. Shollow to his side, but was only in timo to catch a fow indistim t, disjointed sentences. AVith a last ef fort tho dying man lifted tho hnnds of his wife and his friend, joined them together, clasped his own about them, and so tho threo remained till tho soul of .loo Uarrett iled. " And if thero could bo such a thing as witehcraft," sald Miss Mortimer to somo friends. tho other day, "Joo Uar rett's widow A'ould havo been burned at the stako long ago. Sho was pretty well on in years whcn Joo died, and I'll leavo it to anybody if sho don't look liko a blondo niummy now Phil Somer.s has that air of distinction and elcganco about him that ho might marry almost anybody; .loo Barrctt's widow is old and ugly and sick and ioor. but I shouldn't bo at all sur- piisrd if Phil Somers would marry her yet.''
