Even the con imp grass of the Island grows In a different niinner from that of the maliiln ml. It 4es not bear need, but tlioots up from roots whlcb run along under the and. Pur lug the winter the sand la blown over the grass and buries It sometimes three or four feet deep, but the hardy blades crow up next season, iim If the Island aanda had pro't-cted them from the cold of winter iu order to make them all the stronger. "The Inland Itself la fighting for aelf preservation. It seems aa If It drew ships Into Its fiitiil embrace ax rallying po'nta for Its loose mid shifting mind, thus to protect Itaelf by a bulwark of wrecks against niiiilhiliiilon by the Hen. Tradition anyi that when Sable laland was dlKCOvered by Cabot in 1447 It wna 80 miles long and 10 tulles wide. In 1N02. when a rescue station wna estab lished there. It wiih only 40 miles long. Since then It has shrunk to but I'ttle more than I'd miles in length, an In width it is only a mile at its widest. Within S!N yen is the western end lost even miles. Shouts over which the ocean now surges are pointed out aa former sites of lighthouses. One of these wns so swiftly undermined by the sen thnt It had to be abandoned with the greatest precipitation. The spot where once stood the up-rlnteii.l-eut's house la now under two fiitlioms of water. "The Island, rapidly diminishing at tta western eud, is slightly gaining at Its eastern. Slowly, like a ship drag ging Its nnelior. It la moving eastward. Will It ever reach the edge of the shoala, stand tottering on the brink of the abyss till It receives Its coup de grace and pltmce over the submarine bnnk forever Into the depths? Unfor tunntely Its end will probnbly be less dramatic. There Is good gvound for believing that this gray sni: 1 liar will slowly wear away until It beeoiiies an other submerged shoal added lu tin am buscade already some 00 miles In length, for a line of breakers extends 16 miles from one end of the Island and 28 miles from the other. "In the space of a single year Sable island claimed more than 200 lives. In fact, so many wrecks tine the shoals of this ocean graveyard that the new pile up on the old, like bodies heaped In one ditch. The Crofton Hall, an Iron sailing ship wrecked a few years ago on the northeast bar, broke In two about amidships. The pieces have drifted together again, and the Island ers suppose that she struck crosswise upon an old submerged wreck and Is settling over it, which accounts for the two parts coming together. Nor Is the Island sntlsOod with the awful tribute whlcb It exacts from the living. The same Informant who writes me about the Crofton Hall adds that the bark John McLeod, which was wrecked off Devil's Island at the entrance to Hall fax harbor, drifted ashore on Sable Is . land bottom up, a wreck of a wreck I "One of the grimmest legends of Sa ble Island dates from the wreck of the Amelia, and there Is enough evidence of truth connected with It to show what bloody deeds were added on that occasion to the terrors of shipwreck. Captain Torrens, who commanded the gunboat which was dispatched to Sable Island after the wreck of the Amelia, was one of the survivors of the second disaster. A passenger on the lost trans port was Lady Copeland, on her way to loin her husband. The captain of the gunboat had been told that she wore on ber forefinger a ring of pecul iar artifice. "The story bus It that Captain Tor rens, wandorlng over the Island one night In search of possible survivors, was attracted by the piteous whining of bis dog In front of a small, open shelter known to have existed at that time, but long since toppled to pieces. Approaching the shelter, be was star tled to see the figure of a woman all In white nud holding toward him the bleeding Rtiiinp of a forefinger. While he was gnzlng at the apparition It rose, silently glided past him and dived Into the sea. But time aud again thereafter the white woman with bleeding fore Auger was seeu wuuderlng over the sand hills. "It Is probably only part of the weird legend that Captain Torreus, feeling sure that a shocking crime had lieon committed, tracked the guilty pirate until be discovered his fuuilly ou the coast of Labrador and learned that the ring had been sold In Halifax. It Is a fact, however, that many years after the disaster Lady Copeluud's ring was discovered lu a Jewelry store In Hall fax and was rcturuod to her family. From that hour her ghost has ceased to haunt the Island." Her l'rMui(M Uuod. "Do you think he can support you In good stylo after you nro umrrlud, dear? I bear ho Is worth nothing."
