A Decree of Face
By Mary E. Dalrymple.
“Cynthia!”
The petulant voice from above. 1°
heard, fell unheedingly on the cars:
of the girl crouched on the rocks lhe
Jow, her great, sombre eyes fixed sea-
ward, in a tense, unseeing gaze, bi
it striving to pierce beyond tae sky-
line of dark, threatening clouds. hor
fingers clasping her knees. De-
spair—unutterable grief—a dcen,
hopeless void—something almost uu-
natural depicted in the crushed utti-
tude and drawn features.
“Cynthia!”
The girl roused herself as if bv
pained effort, brushed back the dart
mass of hair, damp from the sea is’,
a low moan escaping her as she
slowly rose and dragged herself up
the path.
“You’ll have yourself lookin’ lika
a ghost,” snapped the old lady
sharply, as the girl appeared and both
moved in the direction of the tin
cottage, not far distant.
Frequent and bitter were the in-
precations of the honest, sturdy sea-
men of the little fishing town, be:
stowed upon the handsome stranger
who, the previous summer, seeking
rest and novelty from the gay round
of pleasure in the seething, fashion-
able world, had sojourned for a few
brief weeks in their village.
Small wonder was it that Cynthia
—gay, light-hearted, dark-eyed Cyn-
thia—unused to the world and its
ways, in a short time should listen for
the approach of the massive, well-
knit figure as he made his way along
the sandy beach, and her girlish
heart beat tumultuously and the faint
color grew in her cheeks at the whis-
pered nothings that came so glibly
from the lips of the newcomer.
“Amusing,” Dick Belding comment-
ed, with a shrug and a smile, “but,
by Jove! nevertheless, charming.”
Her quaint wonder at his descrip-
tion of the world—his world—that
great whirling vortex of pleasure and
“*gayety, fascinated the girl. But at
length his stay came to an end. “He
was summoned back: to town,” he
laughingly told her.
“But you will come. back!” There
was a pleading tremors in her ‘voice;
her hand lay almost beseechingly on
his.
A little annoying frown came be-
tween Belding's eyes, but the next in-
stant he laughed—a melodious, ring:
ing laugh. The girl’s eyes met his
blue ones sorrowfully fer-a moment.
Something gripped him-—conscience,
pernaps—and then he laughed again.
“The girl is in love with me,” he
thought.
Belding, the irrepressible,
had never known a serious moment in
all his gay, careless life, had actuali;
been taken seriously, and he laughed
again.
To Belding this little flirtation had
been a very pleasant “incident’—to
the girl it had meant the giving of
her unswerving, girlish affection, last-
ing with life itself.
“Why do you laugh?
back to me?”
“Wry, of course, little one,” he an-
swered, smilingly, kissing the rosy
lips.
And then he went from the little
village.
Weeks went into months and Cyn-
thia’s lithe figure lost its buoyancy.
Her laughing face grew grave and
pensive and the simple fisher folk
sighed when the girl passed, she who
was their pride, and waxed angry at
the mention of the stranger's name.
* * * * * *
“At high noon today the climax to
what has been a very pretty romance
was brought about, when Miss Ethel,
only daughter of John Waring, mag-
nate, was given in marriage to Rich-
ard Belding, clubman and scion of an
old Knickerbacker family.
“The happy pair will spend the
honeymoon in southern waters on the
Diana, the yacht recently purchased
by Mr. Belding.”
Society read this item and nodded
approvingly.
* *® = * * *
A fiercely hot, tropical sun beat
unrelentingly on the figure of a man
weakly .clinging to a fragment cf
wreckage in mid-ocean. For days he
had lain ‘like this, after the typhoon,
which comes sudden and swift in the
treacherous southern Pacific, had
swept down upon his yacht tearing
the craft to atoms while he helplessly
watched the merciless waves sweep
over the deck, bearing away the ere:
—the young wife who had pledged her
troth a few weeks before.
“Oh, God! let me die,” he moaneil
brokenly, The burning thirst that
scorched his throat would soon take
his reason.
Suddenly a long sandy beach
stretched before him. In the back-
ground a great wall of cliffs broke
against the sky.
A figure beckoned, and as it came
out from the shadows the man recog:
nized the face—he laughed—a dull,
mirthless cackle and then stopped
short—it was not the happy, girlish
face he had left in the little fishing
village, but a white-faced woman.
stern and pitiless.
“Cynthia!” he stretched out his
arms to the apparition, “forgive.”
The spar floated away and the blue
waters of the Pacific closed over the
hapless man.
In the gray twilight gloom a girl,
wanfaced, 4 strange, eager light in the
midnight eyes, gazes seaward, unceas-
ingly.
