I WHEN THE TIDE If
I CAME IN
By EDGAR WELTON COOLEY
(Copyright, 1001, liy pailv Story Pub. Co.)
\I 7EARY, but radiant with happl-
VV ness, Clark Morgan walked rap
idly up the street l'rom the modest
station building through ihe gathering
twilight. A combination of fortunate
circumstances had enabled him tot on
elude his business affairs 24 liouts
sooner than he iiad anticipated, and lie
had thus been enabled to reach home
on (lie evening of his wife's birthday.
This fact added elasticity to his
steps and buoyancy to his spirits. He
had a little present for Gertrude
tucked away in his grip, an inexpen
sive little bauble, but one she had long
desired.
He planned to slip iu upon her and
take her by surprise. Then he would
present her with the gift, and they
would sit under the maples and watch
the darkness deepen, see the fireflies
arise from the trass and hear the
booming of the beetles through the
gloom, and Ihe splashing of the sea
upon the rocks.
Quietly he slipped through the gate,
when he reached the summer cottage,
crept silently across ihe lawn, and en
tered noiselessly at the side door.
The living room was vacant; the
last rays of the sun struggled through
the lace curtains and Kissed ihe ceil
ing. Shadows hovered in the corners;
a deep silence reigned everywhere—a
silence perfumed by a vase of lilies
of-the-valley on the table.
For a moment he paused in the cen
ter of the room, then a slight rustle
from the parlor reached him, and ho
smiled.
Softly he stepped to the portieres
and, drawing one of them slightly,
peeped through the narrow opening.
Gertrude stood near the piano. At
her side was James Bernard. Ilis arm
encircled her waist; her arms were
around his neck; her head was slightly
bowed; his lips were pressed against
her forehead.
James Bernard was Clark Morgan's
closest personal friend. The latcli
slring at the Morgan home had always
been out to him.
Silently the portiere slipped from
the husband's fingers and blotted the
picture from his sight. For a moment
he stood immovable, and a thousand
thoughts passed through his mind.
Then he turned his head and glanced
out the window, gazing for miles
across the restless sea. On the far
horizon rested a jagged rock —Fisher-
man's Point—like a grim monument
to his dead happiness. From the sea
a deep gloom swept toward him. He
stretched forth hia arms as though to
welcome it. If it were only everlast
ing oblivion!
Again his glance rested upon Fish
erman's Point. It.was sinking from
sight; the tide was rising. It would
go down into the sea and the wave 3
would sweep over it, like the waves
were sweeping over him. But on the
morrow it would rise again, even as he
would when the great sorrow had
passed.
Thinking thus, lie crept out again
Into the shadows, and when he re
turned it was with a merry whistle
and a radiant smile. His wife met
him at J lie door and he kissed ner and
extended his hand to Bernard.
"How nice that we can all spend the
evening together,' he said; "it will do
a pleasant ending to Gertrude's birth
day."
He smiled at his wife, but her eyes
dropped before his, and he thought he
saw the suspicion of a blush upon her
cheek.
"Yes," replied Bernard, carelessly
-1 dropped into congratulate Mrs.
J\l organ upon her anniversary."
"A \indness we both very much ap
preciate, I am sure," 7,; organ answered,
"and, my dear," he added, smiling
pleasantly at his wife, "I have planned
a little diversion for to-morrow. They
say angling !s fine ol'f Fisherman's
Point, and I suggest we three—now
don't say you can't spare the time,
Bernard, old chap—sail out ihore to
morrow afternoon, taking along some
luncheon and enjoy the sport until
dusk."
"How delightful!" cvelalmed Mrs.
Morgan, jubilantly. "Of course you
will go, Mr. Bernard?"
"Of course,", insisted Mr. Morgan.
"Of course," insisted Mr. Bernard,
laughing.
The sunshine fell brilliantly upon
the sea, kissing the waves that lashed
the base of Fisherman's Point into a
spray of diamonds. Above, the sky
arched, a blue canopy. The air, tern- ,
pered by tjie salt moisture, was cuol j
at:d pleasant.
The three, in Clark Morgan's sail
boat, anchored just off the Point, !
fished and laughed, and were jolly. |
And Morgan was the merriest of them
all. The others were kept laughing at ,
his witticisms.
He had his kodak with him, and he '
took several shots at the rocks, the
gently swelling waves, and at the only
boat that passed during the afternoon.
When the tide began rising, Morgan
was the first to note the slowly up
ward creeping of the sea upon the
rocks. A smile trembled upon his lips
and a strange fire burned in his eyes, j
From the locker of the boat he pro
duced a bottle of champagne, and,
pouring out three glasses, handed one
each to his wife and Bernard. Then, 1
raising his own, he said;
"Here is to Love lhat is true,
Here is to Honor, that's real.
Love and Honor and you—
A trinity stamped with God's seal." j
He touched the glass to his lips, but
the others, astounded, hesitated.
"Why don't you drink?" he cried; I
"why don't you drink to love and |
honor —the twin stars in life's diadem?
I j No other virtues are so blessed or so I
! i rare as love and honor!"
i The words were spoken as though in
| | pleasantry. Not the suspicion of a i
sneer accompanied them; not a spark j
I from the fire that was consuming his '
I soul, was visible.
j So, together, they drank the toast, j
| and when they bad finished, Morgan |
: broke his glass upon the boat's rail j
| and watched the pieces sink into tho
sea.
The tide was now rising rapidly.
; Already the lowest crevices on Fisher
man's Point were under water.
Suddenly Clark Morgan glanced at !
his wife. "My dear," lie said, "I was j
thinking what a beautiful picture I
, ; could take if you and Bernard would ,
| pose for me a moment on the rocks — |
you, kneeling in your white gown, my
: dear, and Bernard, in this robe, hold
j ing this cruicifix in his hand, with the j
| waves all but kissing your feet, and
! the broad sea in the background."
j As he spoke, he unrolled a package
he had taken, with the champagne,
from the locker, and now held uj) a
, j priest's robe and beads.
, | "Bravo!" cried Bernard, enthusias
. ! tically. "You are a thorough artist,
Clark; it is a splendid conception."
"See, my dear," he said, "the tide is
' nearly to where we stand. Now kneel
j right here, your hands clasped so, and
, your eyes turned upward, so; that' 3
, right. Now, Bernard, hold the cruci
fix, there, tnat's right; ah, that's per
fect. Throw your head back a little
t ! more, Gertrude, so your hair will fall
. | over your shoulders more, there. Now,
j I'l sail away from the rock a few rods,
!so as to get a belter focus. Ah, this
' is going to be one of the triumphs of
' j my life."
Talking cheerily as he clambered j
over the rocks, Morgan descended to i
' j the boat and hoisted sail. Twenty
' i yards from the Point he put the helm
t | about, and the boat turned its bow
gracefully towards the far away shore.
| A light breeze was blowing land
ward, and before this he slowly sailed,
t I making no pretense to check his
" | course.
After 15 minutes or so, he glanced
' i back at the man and woman on the
" I rocks. His wife had risen to her feet
J : and stood with her face towards him.
He could see the startled look in her
1 ! eyes.
' I He waved his hand at them. "Be
' hold!" he cried, "purity and godliness
upon a granite pinnacle!"
| A half hour passed before he again
looked back. Gertrude and Bernard
' were standing upon the topmost point
of rock, and the tide was nearly at
their feet. With the aid of his glass he
1 could see the look of horror on the
1 woman's face and the desperation in
' the eyes of the man.
1 His wife's hair was shining wet with
the dashing spray, and tears glistened
upon her cheeks.
Then the twilight deepened, deep
-1 ened, and finally Fisherman's Point
' was but an indistinct dot upon the
' horizon, with miles of foaming sea on
1 every side.
! But, in his drifting boat, Clark Mor
| gan sat and watched Fisherman's
Point through his glass. He saw the
man clasp the woman in his arms; he
1 saw the woman put her hands to her
" eyes as though to shut out the sight
5 of death creeping nearer, nearer; he
1 watched the tide rise to their knees,
' to their waists, to their shoulders—
then the darkness became so heavy he
1 could not longer distinguish them
' j .'rom the spray.
" \ From the locker he took another
| bottle of champagne. Filling a glass
* j with the sparkling liquid, he extended
! it toward the dense gloom that en
' shrouded the Point and cried:
"Here is to Love that is true;
Here is to Honor that's real.
"Love and Honor and you—
A trinity—"
During the night a sail boat drifted
, i upon the mud banks, where fishermen
; j found it. In the bottom was the dead
I body of a man.
"Heart disease," pronounced the
i learned coroner, solemnly.
In a court case it was claimed that a
• man tried to fool his wil'e by pretending
: tiio- he was intoxicated. That is anew
1 OII« Many men, however,'have fried tc
I fool their wives by pretending that they
. i were strictly sober.

COLLISION AT GRADE GROSSING
A TROLLEY TRAIN RAN INTO AN
EXPRESS TRAIN.
Four People Killed and 24 Injured at
Chicago—Brakes on Trolley
Train Refused to
Work.
Chicago, Aug. IS. —Four people were
killed, another fatally hurt ami 2'.i se
verely injured in a collision late Wed
nesday afternoon between an express
train on the Chicago Great Western
railroad and a train of three trolley
cars bound for the Hawthorne race
track.
The accident occurred at the cross
ing of Forty-eighth avenue and the
Chicago Great Western tracks. The
train was coming into the city and, ac
cording to some witnesses of the acci
dent, was running at. a high rate of
| speed. Others and the train crew de
clare that it was not going over 20
miles an hour. The trolley train, which
was made up of a motor car and two
trailers, in charge of Conductor W. H.
Condon and Motorman Michael Ryan,
approached the crossing at a rapid
rate, just as the train came around a
sharp curve west of the crossing.
Ryan put on the brakes with all his
strength, in the effort to stop his car,
i but the brakes refused to work, and
with undiminished speed the motor
car ran up on the tracks at. the same
time that the locomotive came up.
The car struck the train just be
tween the engine and the tender. The
motor car was torn to splinters and the
car immediately behind it was knock
ed over, smashed nearly to pieces and
dragged along the track for 100 feet.
The third car was not dragged from
the tracks, and but for the fact that
the couplings between it and the sec
ond trailer broke, the list of injured
would probably be much larger, as all
of the cars were filled with passengers.
The motorman remained at his post
to the last and was fatally hurt, his
skull being fractured. To people who
came to aid him while he lay on the
ground, he said:
"The brakes would not work. That
was what caused it. When I saw that
they would not work, I reversed the
current. Now get aside and be quiet
I and I will be all right."
All the members of the Chicago
| Great Western train crew and the
conductors of the trolley cars wore
arrested pending the inquiry of the
coroner.
DAVIS IS NOTIFIED.
Democratic Nominee for Vice Presi
dent Is Told of the Action of the St.
Louis Convention.
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.,
Aug. IS. —Henry Gassaway Davis was
formally notified yesterday that he is
the nominee of the democratic party
for vice president of the United
States. Mr. Davis accepted the nomi
nation in a brief speech reviewing the
political situation, echoing the senti
ments of Judge Parker on the money
question and expressing the determi
nation to be successful iii the cam
| paign.
j Representative John Sharp Wil
! liams, of Mississippi, chairman of the
j notification committee of the St. Louis
j convention, delivered the notification
I address.
The ceremonies were held on the
lawn of the White Sulphur Springs
hotel, which affords a natural amphi
theater, the ground sloping up from
the speaker's stand on all sides and
sheltered by huge spreading oaks.
Hundreds of enthusiastic demo
j crats had assembled from the Vir-
I ginias and bordering states, and heavy
| train loads brought others from a dis
| tance. Sturdy mountaineers came on
horseback, on foot and in wagons with
their families. The ceremonies were
marked with the utmost simplicity.
The famous Stonewall Brigade band,
of Staunton, Va., organized by Gen.
Jackson, played stirring airs. A pretty
incident occurred at the conclusion of
j the ceremonies, when 17 ladies from
, Atlanta, Ga., all bearing the Georgia
1 state flag, came forward to congratu
late the candidate.
A Crooked Scheme.
New York. Aug. 18. —When Habar J.
Allak, a wealthy Syrian merchant of
! Hayti, was arrested yesterday in con
nection with the alleged naturalization
frauds upon which the United States
officials in this city have been at work
some time, it was announced that a
widespread traffic in fraudulent nat
uralization papers issued by the courts
of Connecticut had been brought to
light. Hundreds of citizens of the lit
tle republic of Hayti are involved in
the alleged frauds. According to the
officials, the papers were secured by
wealthy residents of Hayti and other
South American republics for proteo
tion purposes.
Were Ready to Lynch a Kidnapper.
Pittsburg, Aug. 18.—An Italian, who
It is alleged attempted to kidnap
Helen White, a child 5 years old, nar
rowly escaped lynching in Allegheny
yesterday and was only saved from
serious injury by the arrival of the
police. The Italian first gave the little
girl peanuts and candy and was start
ing away with hor in his arms when
he was seen by a neighbor, who pulled
the child from him. The word spread
that it was the work of the Italian so
ciety of the "Fllack Hand."
A Jail Delivery.
Lockport, N. Y., Aug. IS. —Anthony
Brunner, James Finlay and Joseph
Quinn overpowered Deputy Gardner
and made their escape from the jail.
The men threw red pepper into Gard
ner's eyes and then beat him into in
sensibility. They took his gun and
keys and then overpowered Deputy
Hamlin in the jail office. Gardner re
tained consciousness and, seizing an
other gun, circled around the jail to
head the men off as they appeared
above the courtyard wall. Shots were
exchanged, but without effect. The
men made their escape.
