A pleasant brees@ added @ charm to the roar of the oceang os tho waves rolled in, dashing the spray over numberleas bathers enjoying themselves aftedt the fashion im vorue at Coney Laland, The medical man looked upon the scene with unusual intarest, and doubtless resvlved to recommend sea bathing to some of his patients, alter witnessing the evideut enjoye went of thore whowere frolicking {n the water, Pondering upon the many advantages of Coney Island for bathing parposea, The doctor suddenly be came aware that a female was standing near him, intently gazing upon some young people jamping about in the breakers, Presently the woman, @ fashionably dressed person, exclaimed, “There | they have gone under now! Ob! sir, they will drown." The Dector was startled ; he looked af the woman, and then in tho direction to which she polnted, Failing te perceive any one in danger, he told the woman so, Drawing nearer to the Doctor, the woman put on an appearance of great fees and asked if people were not “often drowned out there" ‘The Doctor replied that sometimes ven- turerome foll.s went too far, but there was no one is danger then. The woman now eppeared more come posed, and told the physician that ber een and daugh/ ter were yonder, way out in the breakers, and aske@ if be would not shout to them tw come in, The Doctor conseuted to hallo, and did so witht all the foree he could command, His shouts evidently nade no impression on the two figures !w the surf. At this the woman became excited, ram down the beach, and halloed at the party as tf she feared they would be drowned before assistance coul@ be secured. The efforte of the Dootor to make hime volf heard by the bathers were now redoubled, He shouted and brandished his cane, motioned towards the women, but failed to attract the attention of the persons In tho water, In fact, he became interested slr, and, while he did not imagine that the people were in danger, the anxtety of the woman om shore prompted bin toexert himself to the utmost, Persons walking apon the beach stopped to look af the antica of the man and woman bawling to some pomons in the water, bat with « careless laugh the people passed on, leaving tho Doctor and bis compan~ jon shouting at the bathers, who made ne slen that they even beard the call to “come in.” The Doctor began to despair, and, tarne ing to the woman, advised ber to be calm, there war vo danger, and the young people would come in presently, The wouan would not listen, Bhe urgod the doctor to renew his shouting, and declared herself ready to faint trom over-exertion, The medical man persisted in bie efforts to calm the agitated woman, but all to no purpose, and at length she threw hesself into his arms, apparently in a fainting condi- tion, The doctor supported her as beat he couldy wet his handkerchief in the ealt water, and applied it as restorative to her face, For some moments his patient lay in an apparent swoon, then she slowly revived, and asked if the children had come in, He~ ing ans wored in the nogative, ehe declared her tu~ tention of seeking other assistance at the hotels, The Doctor sought to calm her, She would not listen to bis appesl4, but started off at o rapid pace. ‘The doctor followed, but the womam went fucter, and Le lostelght of her, as she passed bebind the bathing houses, on her way to the housee beyond, Determined to noseist the woman, the doctor hurried, but when he reached the hotel, he mw no one that looked Iike the distracted womam that had left him afew moments before, Enquiring at one hotel, be learned nothing of such a person, and on golug the rounds of the hotels and eating saloons, he ebtained no information, Thinking thaé he would learn the finale of tho affals after he had eaten his “double roast," the Doctor af down to bis repast, which be dispatched with the re- lish of a man hungered by bis exertion and the brace ing een air, Elaving occupied a reasonable time as hie meal, the Doctor again proceeded to the beach, where he found everybody eujoying themecives, In anewer to his inquiries he did vot dievover that any commotion hed been occasioned by the woman ip question, One or two poople bad noticed the previous motions and heard the shouting of the Doctos nud woman, but mone had seen anything more, By this time the Doctor had concluded the adventure was one of (hore mervous attacks thas women some. times indulke In, and so gave bimeelf up to the pleas ‘tures of bis position, away from the stffilug etmosphere of the city, breathing the bracing alr of Coney Island, At length the sun began to droop in the horison, and the physician cencluded it was time to leave the faa~ cinating spot, Like all New Yorkers who got @ chanee to exchange the bad smel.s of the city for the purer oxygen of « place out of town, the Doctor wae loath to leave, Ue thought it might not be quite so late as the descending sua indicated, He put hie hand to bla watch pocket for the purpose of discover | ing the time of day, but fouad no watch there, His valuable time piece was gone, The neck chala remained, but the watch had vanished, A cold per «plration broke out all over hire as he realized his losa, Jn vain he hunted through his pockets, felt of his pan- taloon \og#, and looked into his boots; no watch waste be discovered. Never having lost such en er- ticle before, the Doclor was astonished, At the hovel where his horse was brought to the door, be (Continucd om the Lag Peaeu
