16 A REVELATION FROM THE DEMON OF GOAT ISLAND, It had been a hars ing struggle ter the fight had been made and won a vast, indescribable peace had fallen u me, and I was ready for the end. Strangely enough it dia not ccur to me to reflect why I selected a | t o n e | despairingly and in the saddest voice that i I had ever heard spoke thus: ferry-boat for the scene of the deed, nor why at the final moment I prepared for the p when the boat was exactly oppo- site Goat Island. 1 remember merely that in a numb, dull state of peace I scanned the forward upper deck to see that I was not observed; then stepped | upon the seat, placed one foot on the rail | and in another moment would have been in the water and under the heavy blows of vheel, when what I then took the to b shoulder and forced me upon the seat, and what I then supposed was & voice hoarsely Meet me at 11 o’clock t of Goat Island and I will teil you a wonderful thing.

The wind did not fret the water in’ the bight, but the outer waves came rolling gently in and broke softly on the beach. The stars were bright, and the light from them and from the distant lamps on the mole brought out ihe strange crouched figure with sufficient distinctness to show it asa sharp silhouette ow sand. in silent expectancy a few yards y a voice issued from the away. figure. “You have come,” it said, I have.” “Are you afraid?” To challenge a man’s fear is to restore his courage. “No,” I answered. The tall figure, seemingly now mon- strously high, slowly rose and turned to face me. “Why it asked, ““did you select that gpot for killing yourself?”’ I was confused and silent. ‘The figure then laughed with & solemn, somber glee, and exclaimed: “Why do the suicides from the boats always select. that particular spot? What fools you. wretched mortals are! There is not one of you with the under- standing to guess that behind eaeh and every physical agency selected for suicidal ‘use there is a mystery that reaches beyond the stars and a'purpose that issues from the very heart of creation. Can-youim- agine that?” » “Hardly so well,” Ireplied; ‘‘as that you are either a fool yourself or are attempt- ing to make one of me.” The laughter which this sally evoked was unmistakably merry, and it angered me. “Come,"” said I, “you promised to tell me some wonderful things if I would meet you here to-night. As you have shown a disposition to trifle with me, I will inform younow that you inspire in me neither re- spect nor fear. 1f you are not the shem strong hand seized me by the | I have been | at incident is dull and | I felt no surprise at | sensation of alarm | | pulse whi | possible to retfeve myself in the estima- | tion of this strange creature, I threw my { strength " into the oars and my boat me had not vet | ange of my outer | 1t going, | | might have come from thi: the long mole that juts | I did not even | he first of those defi- | sence of a | anger—and every mystery | d, bitter, heart-break- | and mountebank that you seem to be, pro- ceed with your business.” The effect of this speech astounded me. | The figure visibly shrank and trembled, and for a moment I thought that it was cowed. Butnotso. It threw up itsarms “I am grieved beyond measure to dis- cover that I have mistaken you. I had | hoped that you, whom I have studied so closely and into whose heart put every impulse that has worked to bring you here to-night, had the charac- ter and wisdom to desire knowl- edge of mysteries which few mortais can | penetrate. But I have erred. You will think that even this sudden change in my demeanor is & mnew trap set for {you. Do mnot interrupt me! I will not tell you now the many things which, had you been of a different tem- perament, would have brought you wis- dom. But asyou have been faithful and courageous in coming to me I will carry out one part of my plan. Thatis to give you an experience to-night which may or may not gratify the lower nature that I find to dominate you. Let us wait here in silgnce a little while.” I can say of the effect which this speech had on me that it filled me with a soreness of spirit of a strange and hurting kind. It was not the rash, petulant and numb despair which had driven me to the rail of the boat, nor yet the fierce agony which had brought on the rigor, It was simply a sinking into unfatbomable depths. The tall figure was again huddled on the sand, but now looking steadily out over the water. I could not speak, but stood in something like a painful trance. ““You may go now,”’ the figure presently said, with a strangely sweet and tender mournfulness which seemed to issue from & heart whose most precious hope had | been dashed to the ground. As I was bruised me, | S€3tin8 myself in the boat and grasping the oars, the figure added: “Row straight | for the course of the Oaklard-bound boat. You will intercept the last one to cross to-night. Near it you will see some- thing that will be of interest to you. You will remember me then and afterward. Good-mght.” Mechanic: Lin spite of a powerful im- h yged me to remain and if bounded forwatd. The figure on the sand rose to its full height and watched me, |and across the water sent this wailing message to me: *“You will remember me when you see it, and then you will reflect that Death may be the best friend that a meortal being can find.” And then the figure crouched again upon the yellow sand and watched the silent water. I pulled straight for the course of the Oakland-bound boat, looking neither to the right nor left. Whatever disaster lack of caution was averted by a shouting ahead which took all volition out of my arms. Rest- my oars 1 looked round and |saw the long lines of light on ght | rowing at an acute angie the Oakland-bound boat broken by scur- rying crowds, and observed the steamer laboring heavily under reversed engines. A boat dropped from its davits into the water and oars squeaked in their rowlocks. Ana so tor the thousandth time it had happened — ezactly opposite the island ! Too far away now to see what might stiil have been crouched on the sand of the bight, I realized that one more call had issued thence. For whom this time? | In that great roaring city, whose mystical lines of lights mounted its towering hills and sent their sheen danc- ing Over the waves, had there been another man, as I, driven to seek death by the perfidy of 4 woman? Was there another woman in all the world so cruel, so heartless, so con- ecienceless as shie? Was there another with brown eyes so soft, with voice so al- luring, with glorious brawn hair so rich in coloring, with lips bearing such a wealth of poisoned honey, and with a soul colder than the ice-caverns of Shasta? And if there were such another, had she thrown herseif so deeply into a strong man’s life that when she had ruthlessly, cruelly, heartlessly torn herself out it left him riven and an eager seeker for repose indeath? If so, curses on her—a thousand curses on her! And may she, as well as he whom she has driven to his death, be | driven similarly, if God has been so benefi- cent as to have given her a conscience able to suffer fiercer torturings than life can bear! Should I help to save him? A thousand times—no! Would that I were in his place and that the specter of the island had not laid a check upon my purpose. But wherefore this itching of the arms to row? Was I not already exhausted and ailing? Why hands so rebellious that they seized the oars, why arms filled with strength so fierce that they sent my drift- ing boat bounding furiously forward? There was something writhing and gasp- ing in the water. 1 was nearer to it than weére the sailors who were pulling so strongly from the steamer. With eager leaps from wave to wave, my boat pursued its course, and presently a sharp, backward thrust of the oars stopped me near— Not a man, but a woman. Then the most wonderful of tragedies required but the smallest fraction of a second for its enactment. In that moment I saw a pair of soft brown eyes staring horrib! into the open jaws of death, glorious brown hair that had been rich in coloring and abundance now streaming in bedrag- gled strands, and lips that had borne a wealth of poisoned honey now drawn in terror and despair. But beyond and clearer than all that were one agonized look toward me of recognition ana contrition, a glance informing me that my letter an- nouncing my purpose had been read and had unlocked the steel door of her con- science and a desperate outreaching for my delivering and consoling arms. Then, before I could come near, she sank from my view foreve THIS MEANS A HARD WINTER. The Hudson Bay Wolves Coming South in Great Droves. Recent dispatches from Chamberlain, S. D, told of the unusually large number of wolves. in that vicinity and on the cattle ranges west of the Missouri River. Reports from many other portions of South Dakota show that wolves were never so plentiful as they are at present, says the Chicago Herald. Serious loss has been experienced by stockmen in the western part of the State, and even in the eastern part depre- daions are constantly Increasing. The wolves are not the common coyotes, THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER - 1895. but are the large gray timber wolves, and some of them that have been killed are monsters. They are capable of overpow- ering a two-year-old steer with apparent ease. At one point in the northern por- tion of the State seventeen wolves werc recently counted in a single pack feeding on the carcass of a horse. Since the set- tlement of the country no such thing has ever before been known, and a gray wolf has alweys been a rarity east of the Mis- souri River. There must be a reason for this sudden influx of dangerous animals, and old trap- ers who have B(Fent their lives in the Northwestern wilderness havean explana- tion for it. They say that the wolves come from the extreme north, away up in the woods of Alberta and the vicinity of Hudson Bay, and that the migration is the result of that mysterious and unerring instinct which sways wild animals. This southward migration of the wolves, ac- cording to the trappers, is always said to presage a severe winter and a phenomenal snowfail which will prevent the animals from obtaining food in their customary haunts. ‘While this visitdtion of wolves may n be particularly enjoyed by the stockme: it is believed to be a'good sign for the hus- bandmen. In their opinion it means that the ground the coming winter will be cov- ered as in the memorable winter of 1880-81 to a depth of four or five feet in snow, and when the snow melts in the spring the country will be inundated with a deluge of water which will soak the subsoil 10 a great depth, fill up the old lake beds and thus insure favorable crop seasons. DOCKERY STILL AT WORK Sharp Dairymen Tamper With the Never-Failing Babcock Tester. They Break the Cogs and Steal the Al- cohol Lamp—Both Milk and Meat Seized. Ii the dairymen imagine that the Milk Inspector is resting on his honors they are very much mistaken, Scarcely a night passes that Mr. Dockery is not somewhere on the road—say in the Mission, or the Richmond District, or pirouatting among the cheap restaurants or bakeries. Yesterday morning at 2:30 o’clock the inspector began another of his night raids, and in many respects it was the most re- markable yet undertaken. He not only dumped a considerable quantity of milk, but came across a dealer bringing into market immature veal. In addition to this some milkman got away with his alcohol stove and so crippled the Babcock tester as to nccessitate a trip to the new City Hall for a new machine. Between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning Mr. Dockery held up some twelve or fifteen wagons, contenting himself, however, with merely taking samples. Shortly after 4 o’clock he made a stand on Larkin street, between O’Farrell and Geary, and then the fun began. As the wagons came by they were halted and driven up a side street. In a short while some fifteen wagons blocked the narrow thoroughfare, and then the supposed fun began. Selecting the wagons in the order of their arrival he soon had the little portable Bab- cock loaded for business. But that is as far as he got, however. When it came to turning the crank it only made half a revolution. ‘An investigation showed that some miscreant had knocked off a couple of the cogs temporarily disabiing the machine. In addition to this the alcohol stove had dis- appeared. There was nothing to do but let the wagons go, as it would take fully | an hour to repair the damage. Before this was done, however, a sample was secured from each wagon. These will be sub- mitted to Bacteriologist Spencer, and Mr. Dockery thinks a number of arrests will follow. About 5 o’clock in the morning the In- spector received another Babcock tester, and shortly after its arrival a wagon be- longing to P. F. E. Steiner came up. Every can in the wagon, eighteen all told, was tested and only one came within the standard. In spite of the vain protests of the driver the seventeen canssoon mixed with tbe mud and slush of the gutter. farlier in the morning Dockery came across a milk wagon having on board an immature calf. The meat was seized and condemned. The man gave his name as Schwartz and his place of business as a dairy out on the San Bruno road. Itde- velops now that there is no such man as that in the business, and so Meat Inspector | Davis has lost an excellent opportunity of making an example of some one who, under the coverof selling milk, is making a few pennies on the outside by bringing meat unfit for human food into” the mar- kets. .- THAT PROMISED STORM. Forecast Official Hammon Says It Came Just as Antici- pated. Forecast Official W. H. Hammon says San Francisco got all the storm it had any reason to expect by reason of his pre- dictions of Wednesday last. “The apparent disappointment which the people entertain because it did not ‘blow great guns’ here Thursday,” he ex- plained yesterday, “is due to a misunder- standing of the forecast, although it was correctly reperted in the papers. I did say that there would be severe gales, com- mencing Wednesday night, but I did not say they would be in this City. What 1 did say was that the storm would be along the coast from Point Arena north, and that there would be rain about as far south as Banta Cruz along the coast and Stockton in the interior. The storm came almost precisely as I had indicated. Off Point Arena the wind reached a maximum velocity of forty-eight miles, and along the Washington coast it reached a maximum of about fifty-five miles. “In this C‘;ty the weather was praclically what I anticipated. We were just on the edge of the storm, near enough to get the rain, but not sufficiently in its range to experience the gales. There was no storm signal exhibited here. The signal we put out was what we_call an information sig- nal. This is a red pennant and it indicates that we have information of a storm at some other point than that where the sig- nal is flown, but sufficiently near to in- terest shipping. It distinetly ipdicates that a storm is nov expected where the pennant is displayed. “In every respect,as a careful study of the fofgcast will sbow, the storm was just what we predicted.” —————— A WOMAN TRUANT OFFICER. The Committee on Plan of Work Drafts an Ontline for Action. The Women’s Federation for Public Good is determined to have an inspector. It likes the name and if the province of such an inspector may not include the do- main of morals it may that of sanitation, so it argues, and the body will continue to agitate the question of the appointment of such an inspector. That is the course adyised by the com- mittee on plan of work, which met at the W. C. T. U. headquarters yesterday. The inspector’s duties should be to look after the cleanliness of homes, the committee believes. It was recommended that the aid of the teachers in public schools should Be enlisted in the matter of house visita- ion. A woman truant officer, to look after cases of children who do not regularly at- tend school, was also suggested. —_————— A hms should be filled quite full every day, and thus used will burn one wick ma:‘r times as long as if it were only filled with o1l when absolutely required. 10 STOP CITY BURILS, The Health Committee of the Board of Supervisors Take Action. AN ADVERSE MINORITY REPORT. A Strong Fight Over the Question Is Expected at the Next Meeting of the Board. The residents of Richmond district have so far succeeded in their efforts to stop the burial of dead bodies within the City lim- its that the Board of Supervisors will take up the question, even if the Board of Health is silent on the subject. The Com- mittee on Health and Police at the next meeting of the board will recommend that it be unlawful to bury the dead in any cemetery or elsewhere within the City except in lots already purchased for that purpose. This would prevent the sale of burial lots, but wilt not prevent the use for interment of lots owned by private par- ties in the cemeteries. The burial question has been before the committee for several weeks, being pushed by the Richmond District Property-own- ers’ Association. They held that the cem- eteries were a menace not only to the whole City, but especially to them, from the elevation of the burial lots on: the hills near to and above their locality. Rain- water was shed down during the wet season from the sandy soil of the graves, and even the air was heavy with the gases of decaying matter. There was some op- position to the proposed removal of the cemeteries from the proprietors, but Super- visors Benjamin, Dunker and Morgen- stern voted in favor of the resolution to recommend no more lot sales. A minority report was submitted by Dimond and King, favoring the prohibi- tion of the est:\bfishmvnt of any more cemeteries within the City limits, but per- mitting the use of ‘all the land now in- closed as cemeteries. They contend that the majority resolution to be proposed to the board wounld practically coefiscate the unsold land of the cemetery companies. The question will be warmly debated by both parties before the next meeting of the board. *“We do not wish to cause needless ex- pense to those who have bought burial }fltfi in the cemeteries,” said Secretary Hubbs of the association, “but we musi put some check on City interments. Three or four crowded graveyardsin this big grow- ing place are too much. In all the large citius of the United States wrere the liv- ing have encroached upon the dead the graveyards had to go. Of course the re- moval was opposed by those who owned lots there, g)ut their selfishness didn’t check the march of progress nor the action of intelligent health boards, which decided that sanitary measures were of more im- portance than sentiment. “Qur living City’s health demands that these dead cities on the hills must be re- moved, ana sooner or later it will be done. What handsome building spots those slopes would make if all the bodies were removed. Some of these cemeteries are old and in poor repair, especially the an- cient walled graveyard on Geary street on the line of the cars running to the park and Cliff House. What a cheerful sight those old, wooden, broken-down palings are to the visitor and tourist from the Bast. “I understand certain Supervisors are in favor of prohibiting the establishment of any more cemeteries in the City, but letting the ones now bere go ahead and fill up. That is the joker indeed. Of course, those Supervisors well know that no more cemeteries will be established in the City anyhow, as_there is no land for that purpose. There is no reed of wasting time passing ordinances to regulate a matter that will regulate itself. They speak of confiscation. Well, better a few lots lie idle than an epidemic visit the City. I would prefer to see all those bodies taken up and buried elsewhere, that the lots could be improved and put to other uses, but we’ll take what we can get now, and get the rest when we can.” LITTLE GIRLS DETAINED. Emma Marchand and Lilly Breadhoff Held in Very Heavy Bonds. The application to release Emma Mar- chand and Lilly Breadhoff, two of the gris who testified against Captain Lane and Leon R. Meyers, wasrenewed before Judge Campbell yesterday morning by Attorney P. A. Bergerot. The Judge, after thinking over the mat- ter, made an order to release them on $10,- 000 bonds in each case, As the Marchand girl testified in two cases her bonds will be $20,000. Toe bonds have not yet been ac- cepted, and will not be for a day or two. Several ladies belonging to the Women’s Federation were in court, as they are tak- ing an active interest in the question as to whether these girls will be turned over to the custody of their parents before the trial of Lane and Meyers is held 1n the Su- perior Court, 5 PE The question of guardianship for these two girls and others who testified has not vet been decided by Judge Coffey, but it is expected that he will give his decision to- morrow. s The matter of the demurrer introduced by Carroll Cook in the case of Leon R. eyers came up before Judgze Campbell esterday and was continued for a week. {leantime Cook and Prosecuting Attordey Forbes will file briefs.
