A Thrilling Adventure on Bedlow
Mari..
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

shee Then agai it was only the
throbbing of her he t. She found
at about this, time that she was so
chilled and sfiffene in her cramped
position that she could scarcely
move, and the bab cried so when
she put it to her- br ast that she no-
tice the milk refused to flow;
and She was so flightened at that,
thatishe put her ead under het

the water to cool h r perchedehroat,
and found that it Vas salt as her
tears. 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

THE GARDINER P TENT
SEWING MAC' INE.
The Very decided preference given to
the Gardiner Patent has compelled the
manufa.cturers, ip order to Meet the de-
mand., to increase their facilities for man-
ufacturing, and they are now turning
out large quantities weekly. They claim
that this machine, while embodying 0.11
the most useful improvements, is at the
same t ine t e best made, the simplest,
strong st, a d most durable of any ma-
chine man factured in Canada; while
for bea ity o finish and good workman-
ship, • -is ot excelled on this Conti-
nent.
The Gar( iner Patent is used by all
classes; am while .Milliners and Dress-
maker use it with comfor and ease,
the tau ors -. nd shoemakers Use it with
equal atisf ction. For general family
