The lighthouse keeper looked round as a light step sounded on the stone stairs. At his side stood a pretty, pet- ulant looking girl of about nineteen, his adopted daughter, Lucy. “Father,” she said, with the suspi- clon of a sob in her voice, “I'm think- ing of going to N'York tomorrow.” John Eldridge’s face became a mask, and over it a white pallor crept. He stared at the girl for a moment or two. “So! he said. “He wants to remain here after we're married, father,” the girl pro- tested. “It's—so slow here. I want to see life and gayety.” “Wait!" shouted Eldridge. “Put a pin in them words, girl, and remember them. I'm going to tell you a story. “You don't know how I came to adopt you, nor who your folks was, do you? Didn't know your mother lived in these parts? Yet everybody round about here knew Milly Torrance, when she was a slip of a thing like you. “Had the same ideas, too, she had, about seeing life. She was engaged to a young fellow who had just got the charge of this lighthouse. Mighty proud and plcased he was, I tell you, girl, when Milly, whom he'd knowed ever since she was a baby along with him, promised to be his wife. He was looking forward to the spring, so as they'd start housekeeping in the light- house together. “There was a young fellow whom we'll call Cray, because that wasn't his name. Son of a millionaire, and hadn’t never done a day’s honest work in his life. Used to come down here winters for the duck shooting, which was pretty good in them times. Used to spend his time shooting and try- ing to turn the heads of foolish girls. He was a flashy chap, with his gold jewelry and ostentatious ways.” The speaker’s voice had become menacing; the girl recoiled and looked A You've quarreled with Ned,” “And the Lights Appeared, and—He Couldn’t.” at him in dismay. She had never seen that expression on his face before. “Milly and he struck up an acquaint- ance,” he continued. “Heaven knows he wasn't worthy s0 much as to touch the hem of her But he was flashy and sporty, class—she didn’t understand. Used to : talk to her for hours about New York and foreign parts. away. “The young fellow at the lighthouse was eating his heart out in grief and bitterness. But he had his charge, which he couldn’'t leave, and there was nothing that he could do. How- ever, after Cray had gone back to New York, Milly seemed to realize that she had played with an honest man's heart. She asked him to forgive her. He forgave her, and they arranged the day for the wedding. But there was always a something between them. “The minister was to bring the girl out in his boat, and they were to be The day before the wedding a note from Milly She told him that she and Cray were sailing for Europe together. ‘I love him,’ the letter said, ‘and he has promised to marry me. You must forget me and find some better wom- an.’ “You can imagine what that blow meant. And there was the man who had been waiting for her, stuck in the li_hthouse and coulda't leave his post, no, not for anything in the world. He was alone there, because the light needed tending only each eight hours, end one man was encugh to manage it. “He krew the ship on which she wae to sail. It was the ‘Grosvencr, and she would pass the light at tea in the night. He knew each ship Then he went | among the hundreds that passed to and fro each year between the At- lantic gateways and New York. And | he was their safety and their trust. For, if that little light went out, the | ships that were eastward bound would dash themselves to pieces upon Rock- | man’s ledge, five miles away, thinking that they were on the high seas before And as his light, gazing out through the thick EVENING TELEGRAM LAA ELAND, FLA. SEPT. 16, 1914. glass at the fog and the wkeeling mews, a dreadful temptation assailed him. “If only he let the light go out, the | ‘Grosvenor’ would run aground on Rockman’s ledge and, in taat tide, split up before morning. Many would die, some might be saved, but at least he would stop Milly's voyage. Per- haps she would die, or Cray—well, even that would be better than the fu- ture in store for her. “At nine o'clock he was waiting on the rlatform, listening to the shriek- |. ing birds. When he saw the distant twinkle of the ‘Grosvenor's’ lights he' ; meant to put out his own. And she would go sailing by, and he would watch her, invisible in the mist, and see her drift helplessly ever nearer and nearer to the dreaded Rockman's ledge. He gloated over the thought. “And the lights appeared, and—he couldn’'t. For you know, girl, habit forms character, and he, who had held his post so long, the one trust of many a mighty ship, he couldn’t fail. His hand wouldn't move; the light burned steadily, and the ship swept past, so - near that if it had been day, he would have seen each person on her decks distinetly. “That's all, girl. For I musn't speak of the rest, nor kow she crept back home to die, with the little girl. But she saw the young lighthouse keeper before the end, and he forgave her; and that's why—that's why—" His voice grew_incoherent, and the girl, who had been staring, open- mouthed at him, feeling something of the tragedy, recoiled and gripped the stair railing in her terror. sire had gone out of her. She wanted a home now, as this lonely man had wanted one so many years. Before either could speak a heavy tread sounded below, and a boat began splashing at anchor beside the light- house landing. Then a young man, tanned by the sun and weather-beateh, and distinctly anxious, strode up the stairs. “Lucy!"” he oried. “So you are here! I heard!—I heard—" He caught her in his arms and her head drooped and nestled against his shoulder, “I heard you were going to N'York,” SPEPPOLEE 435 PSSP PEIPEEIP b b DB I 0000000000000006 0080884500 CROFIHEIILELLLLLHIMIS 10000 he exclaimed, with a terror in his voice that contrasted strangely with his looks. “Lucy, it isn't true? You wouldn’t go there, when 1 want you, to make 2 home for both of us? 1 know it’s quiet here, child, but—but maybe you'll get to like it when the babies come,” he added with rough honesty. “You'll stay, Lucy, won't you, my dear, for ever and ever?” The girl raised her eyes to his. “Yes, I'll stay, Ned,” she answered, and slipped her hand trustfully into his. And then both turned to look at the lighthouse keeper. They had al- ways been a little afraid of him. He was a lonely man, and the lonely are not as other men in their joys and SOTTOWS. But the lighthouse keeper was star- ing out through the fog, and he might have been alone, for all the notice he took of them. He was picking up the light of a ship that crept slowly east- ward toward Rockman’s ledge. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) WHY THEY REMAINED SMALL Experience of Man With Broken Alarm Clock at Once En- lightened Him. “I often wondered,” sald a bachelor business man living in the fifties not far from Broadway, according to the New York Sun, “why it was that one jeweler agpund my neighborhood had a fine big shop and three or four oth- ers had places not half so large and didn't seem to be doing any business at all. But I know now. “I had occasion to have one of, these modern alarm clocks repaired and to make some business for the small chaps, I went to one of them to do the job. He said he couldn't do it for less than 75 cents, if it could be fixed at all, and when it was done it couldn’t be of,any account and I had better buy a new one. He offered me one for $1 up. I left him and went to the others. All had about the same answer. “Then I thought I'd go to she big shop jeweler and hear what he had to say. He said if it could be fixed he'd do it for 50 cents and guaran- tee it for a year. He said he'd let me know next day if it could be done or not. When I went in again the clock was finished. I paid my 50 cents, and he said if it got out of order with- in a year to come around and get it fixed without cost! “Then I knew why he had the big shop and the business, and I won- dered why it was that the small shops didn’t wake up and do business in a way to attract trade and hold it when it had once been secured. I also be- gan to get a glimmer why it is that the small gshopkeepers are nearly al- ways small shopkeepers. When they know how to do business they soon grow into big shopkeepers.” Granted. A sweet-faced old lady walked up the avenue hanging on the arm of her husband, who was a little bit hard of hearing. A girl brucshed past them rudely, bumping inte the little old lady. “She didn’t even say ‘Excuse me,’” ; she said, indignantly to her husband. “What, mildly. The old lady repeated her state- , ment in a louder tone. Still the old gentleman did not understand. “Excuse me,” she shrieked above “Certainly, my dear,” graciously. “But what did you do?™ l Mayes Grocery € 0mpany WHOLESALE GROCERS g g RS BB @i g @ 3 “A Business Without Books” W 3 i E find that low prices and long time will not go hawud in hand, and on May 1st we installed our NEW SYSTEM OF LOW PRICES FOR STRICTLY CASH.
