Tho great waves are rushing In
with a long, hollow, boom along the
Store. 'A white line 'of foam breaks
the darkens on the beach in the
rapidly -fading afternoon light, and
flue green billows look bleak as they
come rolling in from, the wide set, to
hurl their white farm far up over the
beech.
With the waters washing up to
her feet stands Gipsy, looking with
strained, tired eyes out over the
waste of whltecapped waves. The
wintry wind howls tar away
over the Sea, and dies moaning and
sobbing across the land. A small,
dark figure site stands, and looks at
her old friend, the sea, which oan•
not comfort her now. At her feet the
shining tangle of sea -wreck le toss-
ed to and fro by the rush of the
returning waves, the shingle of
loose stones Is dragged up again by
the next white fringed mountain of
water, farther and further, Inch by
tech, higher by the rough beach, till,
by and by, the spray will be flying
up sphere the face of the cliffs.,
Oren 5, ragged, black eloudi sweep
over the sky, with patches of white
showing thrtuugh their torn edges,
and ono glean] of red shines through
the blackness where the sun went
dawn.
It Is the third (lay elites Gipsy
went out alone Into the world. Yes
tentay she learned that Sibyl hnd
gone, no one know whither, and to
day elle has arrived, faint at heart,
and unspeakably wretched, at the
old home by the sea.
Between her and the dark, tossing
water]] she seems to eco her baby'N
tette; through the moaning wind
she fancies she hears her hue
bands voice, deep and trema
bus in its tenderness, calling her
name. All, nee--ehe will never (tear It
but in dreams again, never feel his
lutnd holding lave, hear Ide voice
whispering fondly In her ear ! Alone
sho Stands, she out from Monte, from
love, from elf -desolate, with a Sense
of utter desolation that snakes ler
cry aloud In the agony set Iter despair.
Uncle Ben's ugly, white house
atatude as of yore, bleak and dreary,
looking out over the sea. An red
woman lives In the kitchen regions -
the sante old woman who opened the
door for Sir Maurice Dermot on the
first night ie came. Rho opens 1t now
for Gipsy, and starts as she recog-
nizes] her visitor.
"Mies Gipsy! heaven have mercy
on UN I What has brought you here?"
"I Wive come to stay, Ann," Gipsy
answers, speaking in a low, weary
voice. "I don't want much. What wilt
do for you will do for me."
"But Sir Maurice, MY lady!" erlesr
the old woman, remembering her
manners, and dropping a courtesy.
Gipsy's white Moe gnlvere.
"I have deft my husband," she ex-
plains, painfully. "Please don't ever
ask me anything about It; only lett
me stay here 5111 I die."
So she takes up her home in the
white house by the sea, and for days
and days flee In her own, old bed,
with her face to the wall, literally
speechless aid prostrate with mle-
ery.
Old Ann, who, for all her snuff -
taking propensities, is a good old
ROM at heart, comes into the room
often and looks at the dark, curly
head buried so perslstently In the
velem' ; she notices that the email,

growing thinner and thinner, that

ly turned from her to getting simm-
er every day. But what can ehe do?
"Leave me alone, leave me alone I"
is all the weary cry.
So she contents nereolf with bring-
ing up pups of tea and bowls of whey
and 'leave& Gipsy, at her awn desire,

weeks before Gipsy creeps down to
the moldy parlor and begin to live
again.

Men Who More the World.
The world may be divided foto
two classes. The first Is composed of
the great mase ui men without
strong ambitions, without strong
principles, without either the need
or power to think out things for
themselves. They are content to
live, as It were, from hand to mouth
-In so far as they are virtuous, dos
ing their duties: ill So far as tbey
are vicious, resettling them, with no
Inquiry into the doper rettsuus of
things. and the fundamental differ-
ence between virtue and vice. The
second Class ie a eompurativciv
small nue, though ifs Inuits cannot
be defined whit any great exact-
ness. it consists of men with minds
awl wills 00 active that they can-
not take things OUR quietly. Thorn
aro two questions, nue of welch
they will ask, and very often both
of them. What meaning can be
wrung out of lite? and how can we
ourselves wring out this meaning!?
These are the men who, in a greater
or less degree, approach the Weals
of sanctity, of heroism, or of genius.
These are the salt of the earth, the
little leaven, hid In n barrel of
meal These aro the Paula of the
world, and the Voltalree, also the
Loyolae and the Bentham. These
are that gifted minority by whom
men's blind Instincts aro Converted
Into clear governing; principles nhewi
In action by example, by whom the
world Is taught and whom the
world follows. -WA M^nn-lit
