On Sun Nicholas Island, which
i is uninhabited, u parly of sea niter
l hunters, landing to chance their
luck, found, in iheir amazement,
the imprint of human feel on the
sandy shore imprints freshly
made. They scattered in search.
Bui, the wind shifting and com
mencing to blow hard, they had to
retain their vessel before the mak
er of ihe marks could be found It
was undeniable, however, a hu
man being lived on this bleak,
wind blown Island of sand and tall
brushwood.
On returning to ihe mainland
ihey repot ted the strange discov
erv'. but nullum; was done until a
Roman Catholic priest was so
moved bv the news that he per
suaded the captain of the small
schooner to sail wiih him for San
Nicholas. After two days' search
ing he discovered this lonely Cru
soe the first of a new kind. For
he found inside a low hut of drift
wood a woman more like a beast
than a person.
She was clad in otter skins, and
the feathered skins of sea-fowl,
and her companion was an otter,
which she had caught very young
and tamed.
The priest with difficulty got her
story, tor she had almost torgotten
how to speak. Many years pre
viously the small tribe of Indians
to which she belonged inhabitants
of San Nicnolas from time past-
had been shifted by the govern
ment to the mainland. As they
were being taken on board, her
baby had fallen into the sea, and
she had leaped after him, and in
the dusk had been given up as
drowned. She reached the shore,
however, to hnd the child was
dead. In utter loneliness she had
lived there 1 8 years.

TieMailGdIn-
The great big church wuz crowded full uv broadcloth and uv silk,
An' satins rich as cream that grows on our ol' brindle's milk;
Shined boots, biled shirts, stilt' collars an stovepipe hms were there,
An' dudes with trouserloons so tight they couldn't kneel down in prayer.
The elder in his pulpit high said, as he slightly riz:
"Our organist is kep to hum, laid up 'ith roomaiiz.
An' as we hev no subsiitoot. as Brother Moore ain't here,
Will some 'un in the congregation be so kind's tovnlumt-r;?"
And ihen a red-nosed, drunken tramp of low-toned, rowdy style,
Gave an itroductory hiccup, an t'len snggered up the aisle.
Then thro' that holy atmosphere there crep a sence ersin,
An' thro' that air of sanctity the odor uv ol' gin.
Then Deacon Purington he yelled his teeth all sot on edge;
"This man purfanes the house of God! W'y, this is sacrilege!"
The tramp didn't hear a word he said, but slouched 'ith stumblin' feet,
An' sprawled an' staggered up the steps, gained the organ seat.
He then went pawin' through the keys, an soon there rose a strain
That seemed to jest bulge out the heart, an' 'lectrify the brain;
An' then he lupucd down mi Hie liimg un tiaius an neau an kuccs,
Mr .lani dasheJ his hull body don keiflup upon the keys.
Tin- oifun r.nrtd, ihe music tlood went sweepin nign ana ury,
i ucll'-il lino itie ratters, and bulp.td out into the sky;
Thw 1 1' cliuicii shook an' siaggered, an' seemed to reel an' sway,
An' the chirr shouted "Glory!" an' 1 yelled out "Hooray!"
An' ihen he tried a tender strain ihat niched in our ears,
That brought up blessed memories an' drenched em duwn ilh tears;
An' we dreamed of ol time kitchens, uh labby on tne mat,
Uv home an' luv an' baby days, and mother an' all that !
And then he struck a streak uv hope a song from souls forgiven
That burst from prison bars uv sin an' stormed the gates of Heaven;
The nuirnin' Mars they ng together no soul was left alone
We relt the universe wuz safe, an' God wuz on His throne I
An' then a wail uv deep despair an' darkness come again,
An' long black crape hung on the doors uv all the homes uv men;
No luv, no light, no joy, no hope, no songs uv glad delight,
An ltlen,,e iramp he staggered down an' reeled into the night.
But we knew he'd iol' his story, tho' he never spoke a word,
An' it wuz the saddest story that our ears had ever heard;
He had told his own life history, an' no eye wuz dry that day,
Wen the elder rose and simply said: "My brethren, let us pray.
