THE ECHO IN HER HEART.
John Holt was in love; ami, as ho was
one ol that class who never do anything
by halves, when he concluded to let tho
charms ol Sarah Pentley rule bis happi
ness, be meant that the; should, come
weal, cone woe,
Sat ah Pentley was tho beau ty of Rough
Reef Beach, and she knew it. II cr lather
kept the only shop in the district, and
was tbe justice ol the peace, ard general
authority lor its people on all poiuts save
fishing, physic and theology.
Sarah Pentley was like her lather, brave,
generous, proud; and perhaps it was for
this reason that, although John Holt was
a good match, she relused him.
I said 'perhaps,' but it might have been
becsufe she had not weighed the matter,
or aoaljztd her own Iceliugs. Sho had
liked the young skippei; who had sup
ported his mother snd sister lor a long
years, and still found time to sturdy bolh
hooks and nature. s that whej bo was
twentyflve he was looked upon as an au.
thotity, snd loved and respected by all
the people. He was trusted, too, au 1 one
of iha fliKSt vessels th.it belonged to the
fi-hina fleet of R iuuh Reach Beach was
under Ir.s ch iriro. and many of its best
flshunu-n preferred him for a com
man 'er.
S rib Pcutlev knew this, and knew
that he had been very buccesful, and had.
money laid lu: the knew, too, that he was
a snort oompanion, and many a pleasant
a' roll had the? taken acioss the sands
when tho mnrnlight shimmered across the
ripples and tilled the air with a flood ol
glorious light.
But she had never thought of love in
connection with him, and when J0I10
Holt had told her, tbe Sunday eve before
be sailed, that he lovei her, she had bteu
su p istd, and relu ed him.
They had bern rambling over the hills,
and had come to a point from hence the
harhor, with its fiVt of U-hing sHiooners.

There was uiueli wonder when it was
known tint John Holt had sailed so soon,
but none guessed the caiHO.
The ol I fislnrmen who believed in him
shook their heads wisely, aud mut
tered. 'Cute fellow; Bmelt the fish.'
And the reports Hint came bapk during
the summer seemed to cohtiiin this, lor
the Spray was doing butter than ever he
lore. Other crafts cslltd at tho harbor, and
Btaycd a lew day;; and such previous to
this season had been Johu Holt's custom;
hut the summer passed and he carat) not.
The season was over, and Hie Hu'uinnal
iqiiinox at hand, aud ttill tbe Spray was
out.
There came a day (hat will always be
remembered at Rough H el Beach one ol
thne days that take a hold on times and
acts, and become marks in the jcats -knowu
as Ihat of 'the great 11 iod,' or 'the
September gale.'
The sun had risen gray and lurid, break
ing Irom the low banking mi-t like a ball
of hot steel. The air wa hot and oppres
sive, aui tbe gulls came flying landward,
screaming discordantly.
The weilh'jrwise shook their beads and
kept an ominous silence, or talked in more
ominous whispers.
I ui u the blue sky paled away to a gray
ishness, and the sun tailed I r 0111 sight
Soon the tea grew Itetlul and tho air was
lull ot muttered uvan, dreary and la I ol
woe.

Then, under the low-hanging blackness,
a white line, growing brad, hut rolling
along tbe lace of the sea, told that the
storm ha I come.
is ever helore had the shock been an
great or so sudden. Sweeping liM demons
Hlled with tho power ot wrath, the huge
waves u.oke upon the reel and ran loaiu
log upon the beach. Hut there was no
ta n I he toxin whirl ii.lel the air, but
the clouds hel.i linn.
The old men had gathered at Pentley'
shop, while tho younger ones were watch
ing the moorings ol the cialt in the h i r
bar, All could see the ocean tossed by
the wind and raging for prey.
Then a cry arose. Through the tossing
creUs. fur out at sea came the white line
ol a sail. Nearer, neater and tho high
Icdje was thronged with watchers who
had hurried then; men from the shop and
haibor, and women and childreu horn the
cottages, for a dar hid seemed to tall on
them all and tear them widi dread the
fear that the vestel in (he im.d lury yonder
was one that held lives dear to them was
the Spray,
On she came, tho loum flvin over her
and oltcn hiding her Iroit vie.; and still
the stray sights given had told the watch
ers that'their leats were realized-it wa?
the Spray.
There were white lips and prayers. I 'it
no tears. D nth was a thing wiih which
the dwellers on Rough Ketl Iinicb were
too well aeq'iiinti.d (0 call lor such a co
lion until it came.
They knew that Ho't was nuking lor
the Ini hor. and, could he make it, would
bo safe. But wool I liu nuk'i it?
Still she Spray cviie ru-hin.,' uu.
faces wad lied her. but wiliust of
thit ot Sa-ah Puitley.
Oh, John, John I love you,
you!'
So r ing the echo in her lieu!; nd il he
shoulJ l a lost, would it not nog bj for
ev.'il When she knew it was the Spray that
w is driving belore the fti-iui and heard
ihititwasa mere chance whether fhe
would came in safe or not, then, with the
snadow ol deith hangiu ' low over her
lover's he . lu r heart awakened to the
knowledge that ho was all to her.
'He shall cot die oh, God is loo good!'
she Slid. And 80 the waited aud
watched.
A few yards more only a lew janis
more ana men an wouin oe khou.
'Oh, God!' Tht re woe despair in the
cry, and death seemed to iea"b out its
hand to take the crew 01 ilia lime

As she tuft red thi channel that ran
through the rc-l, a gu-t of tin I i iz-i I the
sails of the Spray and sho, k them, ami
betoic Jidin Holt could shilt the In I .u to
meet the eiucrg.ney, a huge lollei dashed
the little cralt high on tho reel and rollid
over ber.
Then it ws that the cry arosi; a cry
that all but one uiouih echoed, and that
mouth grew fl m and set, and wbispeied
rather than spoke:
'He shall not die.'
