"Don't do it, sir," he said, with a sort of sob. My Charley may be down there, as you say, but no one could ask it of you don't you do it." Bruce answered only by shaking the old man's hand, and, knowing that lie was resolved, the other men crowded round him too, and wrung his hand.

THE XIGHT OF THE 31st. When Sunday was over, no one was quile sure wliut they should say.

Tin had formed jreat expeetntioiis, you they thought that this man, who fiadeoiue to Christianize the Cove, must he a man very far ahove the level of his IWIow-creatures, and they were a little taken ahuek to see him Vory rattier uuder-cizctl, rather awkward in his niovenients, tiutl with a voiee distinct, jiossesscd no great jiower or beauty of niodulatioii. Mr. Elliott was gratelttl to his new fellow-helper forgoing quietly through the services without any itlti'inpt at alteration of old-established customs; but Dr. Mot-laud looked despairingly at the slight ligure and boyish face, and thought of those brown-faced, big-limbed fellows at the Cove, until his lici sank. "We wanted a man, with a man's heart, and a man's strength," he said to himself, "and, Heaven help us! we've got no more than an unproved boy." When he met Jack Cruse one day in the road, and thought it a favorable opportunity to mention that a stranger had come to i'oltreage in the person of a new minister, and asked if he had chanced to sec him, he could not help fancying that there was a malicious twinkle in the great fellow's eye as he answered "Seen him? Not I.

That sort of gentry ain't in our line." And old Mr. Trenarroe took tin unconcealed delight in asking: "Well, what's going on at the Cove? Are they till hugging and kissing the new curate, eh? All, that was the dearest fit of gout that ever I or my fathers before me encountered You'll come to my notions about the war yet, Morland; see if you don't." We'll try my plan first, if you please," answered the doctor, good-humoredly. "And now I must wish you good-day, for 1 suspect there is going to be as rough a night as any we are likely to see this winter."

Slowly slill up up up and a wet, drenched ligure clutched at the brink, and was seized by sirongarnrs and pulled up, when ho turned out to be, not Mr.

Bruce, but one of the fishermen. "More down below," was all that could be got out of him in his exhaustion, and not even that until some brandy from Dr. Morland's llask had been poured down his throat. He staggered olf honieinward at last under Ihe charge of the youngest of the party, who liad orders to bring back an extra' hand or two, and, moreover, a cart as liir as it conld come and, meanwhile. Adam had tied on the weight, and sent tlie rope down the thread of twine, as Mr.

Bruce laid directed. It was hopeful waiting now. Again came the signal, again a rescued sailor appeared, and another and another until ten. Charlie the third, and he last, were fafely landed 6u the heights'; and from one and another it was gathered that two vessels were pounding each other into pieces, hist in Ihe crack itself, iind that now only Mr. Bruce remained to be drawn up.

And time too," was Jack Cruse's comment. The rape was very slow in coming up this turn. Adam Treby was seized willi a panic lest it should have been overstrained, and kept the eager helpers hack but when at length the figure of the man who had risked his life so bravely came to the edge, one and all crowded ro'uml him, and from their throats -went up such a cheer as nil the noise of the winds and waves could not drown. Old Josh Bolrinsou was sobbing. Dr.

Morland went up to speak, and could only clasp his hand, for himself, it was too dark still to distinguish clearly, though the first gleam of light was struggling up from the horizon; but youiif' I'aul Treby was not wrong when he said afterward 'that Mr. Bruce stood for a minute niotionles. his hands clasped, his head bent down. Truly it was like a coming back from the dead, not only to him, but to the ten nioii whom ho had found clinging to the rocks, too weary and exhausted to do more than just ding with the instinctive hold on life, which every moment was rendering feebler. Ten iind two were lost lie would not leave the spot until Jack Cruse assured him positively of their fate, as beyond all hope and doubt, but PHYSICIANS.

Come, Bruce." Thank you. We'll separate, if you please. I've a fancy for the clills." "Come along, then, said the old man, impatiently, hoever you be. I'm losing time, stopping jabbering here." I'm not sure i should have let him go." said the doctor to himself, as he strode down toward the cove. "lie doesn't know what the wind will be on the heights, and he doesn't look the sort of man to be knocked about," Nevertheless, Mr.

Bruce kept steadily along by the side of his guide until tluy readied' the summit. He had never been I here before, but he could feel short grass under his feet, and up in the open there was light enough to distinguish a few dark figures, the edge of the elilf, and beyond that a great black singing depth. The men talked eagerly, shouting to one another above the roar of the sea thundering at the base. Now and then in (he midst of it, there would conic a si range kind of dull, grinding noise unlike all the rest, which caused an additional stir in the little group. He began to catch their words, one here and there, and something he heard made him grasp the arm of a figure.

Is she on the rocks below?" "Two of 'em, we think." "And what are you doing up here Come up to see if there was alight to be done, but we may as well go down agaiti." "No," said another, "we'll get the fire alight yet, and then good-by to the poor lads, whoever they be, for there's no man living can help them 1" Mr. Bruce did not speak loud, but his voice Was singularly distinct, lor all the wild hubbub around. "You tire going away," he said, "without so much as trying lo save them?" Bain't no good, I tell you. If it could be done we'd do it.

The men above were working silently.

To slacken it might be his death, as they all knew, and so. Willi the wind howling round them, and the rain still lashing their faces, they held themselves immovable, with feet planted firmly before, them and bodies thrown a little backward.

Thus two men found them, a younger brother of Trehy's and Dr. Mot laud, who had fought their way up lrom the cove. "Hallo, Bruce, tire you here?" shouted the latter. Then, as no answer was returned, he went on inwardly relieved. NO OLD STOCK.
