"We must be neariiig the coast. Hold hard the helm, Jeau! Make fast the rot" Pierre! Over the railing sea the fishing smack shot like a dash. The previous day they had set out amid superb weather. There was a stiff breeze, covering with light foam the waves, upon the surface of which the sun was mirrored with bright silvery reflections. Neverthe less, on pussiuz the lookout house Pere Laud ure, the master hud paused with an uneasy air. In less than an hour the barometer the column of mercury which glittered at the door, had fallen a centimetre.- The old man had re mained there a second, seeming to re flect. Then he had glanced at the skv, sniffed the wiud, and had ended by shrugging his shoulders. A tempest in such weatiier, was that possible? He would have felt it, he who scented the gales a day in advance, aud he did not scent anything at all, save a good catch of use. 1 he barometer was cer tainly wide of the mark. That was why l'ere Landure had set out with his two young men, Pierre and Jean. Wen they his sons? Xo. Fere Landure had only a daughter Marie, the pearl ot the coast, a suierb lass of 20, robust and delightful, with eyes of vel vet and akm like a ripe peach. Fierre and Jean were mariners of the district. very resolute fellows, ersistent work- ers,uuilerstandmg their business, whom he had employed for a year past to go fishing in his vessel. "With them every thing went splendidly. It was a ques tion winch ot the twain had most heart in his toil.

There was a struggle between them as to which of the pair should deserve to be accepted as- ilarie s husband. t ell, let that go ahead '. l'ere Landure was not disturbed. II is daughter was sage, anu sound in nnnd as well as in body. When she wished she would make her choice, and everything would be ar ranged. She would perhaps do well not to de lay too long, all the same. For to wait thus m impatience is not the best thing fortwo ladsequallysmitten. For about a and you know it. The occasion is good. If you are not a coward we will profit by it. "How?" "Let one of us follow Pere Lan dure." "Which?" 'Let's leave that to Fate, to the first sea shipped. If its starboard, it's you. If it is to larboard, it's me." Will that work. "It will." The two men were silent. A minute elapsed as long as a century. The tempest seemed to have aliated a trifle. The waves came less swiftly. At last one of them swept the deck. "Larboard I " cried Jean. "It s me!" "He stood nailed to his place, silent. Then he resumed: "You are in luck I Besides the sea is growing calm. You are likely to see Marie again!" He paused once more for an instant, "lou have too much luck!" cried he at last In a choking voice. Suddenly he stood erect and walked toward the hatchway. Where are yon going?" demanded Pierre. "Where I please," replied Jean m a tone of brutal rage. "You will give me five minutes' grace, I hope." lie opened the hatchwav and went down. Pierre remained above in the darkness, his visage scourged by the foam. When five minutes bad elapsed Jean returned to the deck. He placed his back to the mast and seemed to be waiting for something. rierre said to him: "Jean, you are mad. You are surely not going to cast yourself into the sear" hy not?" answered Jeau. "Have I not lost?" "I release you. Remain on board! At that moment Pierre listened "What is going on below?" resumed he. "Is the smack on fire? "You had too much luck, my boy.' said jean, witn a sullen sneer. "1 have fired the vessel!" "Coward!" cried Pierre. "I am no coward!" replied Jean. The proof of it is that I am going to pay my debtl" And clearing the bul warks at a bound be vanished. Pierre rushed to the hatchway and went down three steps. He came up c nosed, lilting smoke tilled his throat. The wretched Jean had made good use of his live nannies' grace. He had emptied the keg of brandy upon a heap of tarred rope and already the entire hold was m names. How was Pierre to quench the fire? Five men would not have sufficed for that! Then Pierre set down on the bench at the stern and mechanically seized the tiller, clinging instinctively to the life he was about to quit. Almost at once the wind tiad fallen. The sea was yet disturbed, but its fury had visibly weakened. Pierre remained upon the bench as if stupefied, hearing the plank partitions crack Deneatu biui as the fire gnawed thorn. Suddenly a jet of red flame es caped through the open hatchway. The deck was burning. -rrous minute to minute the fire in creased.
