The waves were running high enough to conceal much larger objects than two human creatures making a gallant light for life As the moments passed a dreadful stillness settled over the waiting group unbroken except for the lashing of the water on the rocks and the whistle of the rising wind At last they caught sight ol him swimming feebly as if his strength were wellnigh spent and yet holding his way tenaciously toward the strip of sand the gaining of which meant life At the sight of him the quiet of the watchers on the beach was replaced by the delirium of excitement They ran about calling his name praying In gasping sentences the Wo men solving The old man who had protested against Iras last attempt Crouched upon the sand gazing into the dark his eyes gleaming with al most youthful

dont mean that Ira Kent No be dead Hut hes down had changed strangely under the dis cipline of suffering His face was thin and drawn his eyes wistful There was little about him to suggest the young athlete who had risked his life so fearlessly for others The last drop of bitterness was added to his cup when one morning the mail brought him a letter which not long before would have meant the realization of a lifelong ambition He opened the envelope and read the notifications of his appointment to West Point That has been one of his childish dreams which had grown with his growth strengthening as his shoulders broadened and his mus cles grew hard He had done his best to secure the appointment tbo without daring to let himself hope for success And now the letter had come He

Ills brothers words has con jured up a bright future a future rosy with the promise of usefulness He put out his hand as if to push away some tempting object dangerously near I cant let you make such
