BY FRANrelS BRET JARTL Let me recall a story which never faiied to- recur to my mind in my long gituning excursions upon Ded- low Meesh. Although the even -was- briefly recorded in the county iespere fished the story in its eke qeent detail, from the lips of the . priecipat actor. I cannot hope to catch the varying einphasis end pe- euliar coloring Of feminine de-. lineation, for my narrator was a woman ; but 11.1 tiy to give at least its substance. ' She lived Midway,- of thegreat edough of Dedlow Marsh and a good sized river,which, debouched four miles beyond, in all estuary formed hy the Pacific Ocean, on the long, candy- peninsula . which constituted the north western 'boundary of a noble bay. The house in which else lived was a *small framed cabin, Taised from the marsh_ a few feet, by stout piles, and was three miles dis- tant from the settlement upon th. river.. Heir husband was a logger, a profitable business in a country -whete the principai occpation was the matenfacture of lumber. It was the season of early spring, when her husband left on the ebb of 'a high tide, with a raft of logs for the usual transportation te the low- er end of the bay. . As she stood ley the door of the little cabin when the voyagers departed, she noticed A, cool look in. the south eastern -sky, and she remembered hearing her husband saying- to his .companions that they must endeavor to complete their voyage before the coming cif the south westerly gale -which. be saw bre wing. And that night it began to storm and blow harder than she had ever before experienced, and some great trees fell:in the forest by the river, and the house rocked like her baby's cradle. But, however the storm might roar, about the. little 'cabin, she knew that .one she trusted -had driven bolt and bar with his own etrong hand, and that, had he feared for her, he would not have left her. This, and her domestic duties, and the care of her little sickly baby, helped to keep leer mind from dwell- ing- on the weather, except, of course to hope that he was safely harbored with the logs at Utopia, in. thedreary distance. But she noticed, that day, when she went +silt to feed the chickens and look after the cow, that the tide was up to the little fence of, their „garden itch, and the Tear of the surf on the south 'beach, though miles away, ehe could hear 'distinctly. And she began to -think she would like to have some one to- talk with about matters, and She believed that, if it had not been so far and so sternly, and the trail: so impassible, she eseuld have. taken the baby anl have gone to Raekman's, her nearest neighbor. Bat then, you see, he, might have returned in the storm, and all wet,. with no One to .see him; and it was ta long exposure for baby, who was cvoupingand- ailing, Bet that night, -elle never could tenwhy she didn't feel- like sleep - Lug, or even lying down. The sto,te had Somewhat abated, but sue still"sat and sat," and even - tried toreed., I don't know *whether it was the Bible or •some ofaue magazine that this poor wo- • man ‘read, but 'most- -prosbably the latter, for the words al. ran together and made suelt sad nonsense - that she was forced at last to put the ,book down and turn to that , dearer !volume e hich lay before her in, the cradle, with its white initial leaf as yet unsoiled, and tryeto look forward to its mysterious 'future. And, rocking the eractle,. seethought of everytiting and everybody, but still was wide- awake as ever. . It was nearly 1.2. o'clock when she at laet laeadowei in her clothes. Hew long she slept :she could not remein her, biic she, awake with a dveadfui choking in her throat, and &June! Levee] f standing, teem blieg all ever, in the- middle of the room, -with her beley clasped to her breast, and she was 'saying .sonsething.' The- baby cried and sobhed,. and She walked up -and down, teying tahusli e-iten she heatsi a scratching tt the doer. She opencel it feerfully, and was glad to see it, was only old Pete, .their dog, who erziwled, drip- . . , , ping wi.41 nvarer, into the room. She seseeld like to have looked oq, not in. the faint hope of her husband's coming,. but to see how things look- ed ; but the wind shook. the door so eevasr,ely that she could hardly hold it..

There was relief, though, for bythie sign she knew that she was drifting with he tide. it was then the wind leen down, and the great and awful „ilence Opprpsed her.. There was s arcely ripple against the furro ed sides of the great trunk on which she rested, and. around her waS all black, gloom ana quiet. She spoke to the baby just to hear herself. . speak, and to know that she had not lost her voice.' She thought then—it -was queer, but she could not help think- ing it—how awful must have been the i!aight when the great ship swine; over the Asiatic peak, 'and the sounds of creation were blotted out from the world. She thought, too, . . of miriners dinging to the spars, and f poor womee. who were lash- ed t refts, and beaten to death by . the ruellsea. She tried to. thank God that she %as thus spared, and lifte her eyes from. the baby who had alien into a fretful sleep. Sud- den1 away to the southwartl, a (nee red light lifted itself out of the 0 gloo . and flashed and flickered, and flickered and flashed again. Her heart fluttered quickly against. the eaby's cold cheek. It was the lighthouse at the entrance of the bay. As she was yet wandering, the tree su caddy rolled A little, dragged a li tle, and. then seemed to lie qiuiet s.11. *She put out het hand and the current gurgled against it. The tree was aground, and, by the ••-)osition. of the light .and the noise of the sin f, aaground, on the Dedlow Marsh. Had it not been for her baby, who was ailing and creeping, had it not been for the sudden. drying up of tllat sensitive fountain, she wouldl ha,v felt safe and relieved. Per haps it Was this that tended to make all er impressions -mournful and gloo y. As the tide rapidly fell, a gra flock of black breut fluttered . by 1 er, screaming and crying. Then the plover flew up and piped mourn - full ,as they wheeled around the trunk, and at last feailessly. lit up- on i like a grey cloud. Then. the here i flew over and around her, shri king and protesting, and at last deo ped its -gaunt lees only a- few yards fretie her. But,- strangest of all, pretty white bird, larger than a dove—like a pelican, but not e, pelican --circled around and around her. Au last it litl upon a rootlet of she tut out her 14nd and stroltec the 'tee, quite over her shoulder: its autiful white neck, and it never app ared to move. It stayed there se 1 ng that she thought she would lift ip the baby to see it, and try to attr ct her attention. But when she lid so, the child was so chilled and cold, and had such a blue look upo the little lashes, which it didn't rais at all, that she screamed aloud and the bird . flew away, and she fain ed.. 1 Vell, that was the worst, ef it, and perhaps it was not so much' ? afte • all, to any but herself.. For, wh she recovered her senses, it was bright sunlight, and dead loW, wat r. -There was a -confused note of g atural voices .bout her, and an. old •quaW, singing an Iedia,n "hus[ bab ," and rocking herself froth side to side before a fire built on the mar -h, before which she, the recover - 1 ed t ife and mother, lay: weak and 1 wea .y.
