William wasa dark haired, heavy browed, “ith a restless, roving spirit, a quick temper, and fierce vindicative nature. Though also a fisher, he earned little; for he never settled steadily to it, but would , start ofl'for days. When he returned r it was with an empty craft, and :1 livid! feverish face, as one who had met and bra ved perils. ‘ About thirty years ago there lived in the village yonder, whore you are staying, two brothers; they were “Vim. yet as unlike as the sea is in calm and storm.

They were so utterly dissimrlar in character, that it would have been impossible to have been otherwise. Declaring nothing would please me better,I put down my sketch-book, and the Cornish woman and I, seated on a boulder. the sea fiappmg the beach a little distance ofi, she began as follows : ‘ Perfectly.

What harm have you ever reâ€" deived at my hands that you should treat me thus !’ “The greatestâ€"~your rejection of me for him" 'Anxiously she gazed out on the storm crest, endeavoring to pierce the gloom she pressui her hand over her eyes, then turning, prepared to look again,whcn, with a cry of startled alarm, she sprang back ; for, standing by her side, the dark features more threatening even than the night was William Redrulh. ‘ Darker, darker grew the evening. The billows broke witha Ioudersound; the wind wildly tossed her loosened hair and shawl. Where was Richard .7 ‘ Ignorant of the shadow which had been dogging her steps for some while, and was yer noiselessly foilowing, she climbed the rock. ‘ Apparently, the beach was deserted by all save herself, and with restless apin't she walked alongrthe edgepfitlie. waters, her gaze fixed seaward, her" ears keenly sensitive to the gradually rising wind, and other sounds that de- clared a tempest at hand. ‘ At last, throwing a shawl around her, she stole down unperceived to the shore. It seemed to bring her nearer her lover, as already the darkenino evening was shutting the sea from sight at the cottage. ‘ Eagerly, with anxious heart, Mar- garet scanned the broad expanse in search of Richard’s boat. 1n vain; the white specks which 80 frequently deceived her were but the crests of the as yet small though angry waves. ‘ Why did he go to day ? she sighedâ€" why on this the eve of our marriage? The hour has long passed that he‘ named for his return.’ Then she re-i membered the circumstance of that mysterious leak, and her anxiety grew :11 intensity. A ‘ Noon passed, evening drew on, and with it dark, threatening clouds, presaging stonm- for hours piled in the west â€"began as the sun set to sweep up like a funeral pull over the heavens, while the leaden sea beneath mcaned as one in trouble. ‘ Fondly they embraced, never dreaming how next they should meet; though, when he had gone, and the day stole onward, a vague dread came over Margaretâ€"a dread for him. The holyjoy of the coming morning so filled her heart, she feared anything occurring that should now part her and Richard. ‘ This is my last trip, Margaret,’ he said, as she stood by him on the beach. ‘ To-morrow you will be my own little wife ! it will be a large freight I shall bring to-night.’ ‘ Even on the eve of hzs marriage he made no difference. ‘7 AsI have said, Richard Redruth was one of the most well-to-do fishers' in the place ; yet each day he warked harder and more untiringly, for he deâ€" sired to be rich now for Margaret, and no wealth he thought too great for her. Daily his boat was seen to quit the shore, and return with its ,shim‘ug freight, as bright as the silveicit ~‘was to bring the fearlees fisher. ‘ The flaw was mended a fortnight passed by, and nothing was seen a0f William Redruth, either his shadow or his ghost, to whichever the Cornish mind tended. He was beginning, in- deed, to be forgotten, owingto “801118? excitementâ€"Margaret Sempet and‘ Richard’s approaching wedding. the‘ day ofwhich had been fixed. one or other sfiaii be beneath the sod i’.‘ “ Altogether theze are about five hun- dred coups full of birch, all of which are of the first quality.

The Mercury] says: “ A‘fllfln'llnr ‘hnln nun nL..nO 4:.-- I..-” “ The wedding did not take place the next day, for Margaret Semper was proStrated by a severe nervous ‘fever. But it did take place a few weeks later, and was one of the ha p- piestund gayest in all Cornwall, de- spite the evxl plots of \Villiam Red- ruth, as to 'whose fate there was no longer any mystery. In‘ springing item the rock, his head must have struck violently against some hidden boulder; for the next morning, when the tide went. down. he was found drowned, with a wound on his temple, at the very foot of the Lover‘s Leap.” “ Struggling through the surf, Rich- ard sprang to her relief, guided by that last é'ry. His arms were already about her, as consciousness departed, and with difliculty he bore her safely to the shore. “With a scream ofremoi'sc, Margar- ct Semper fainted. “ Ahv! -What was that which struck against her So heavily ? It was a bodymthat of William Redruth ! “ With difficulty keeping~her posi- tion, each second covered by the waves she waited. The beating of her heart was as the second hand on the dial of eternity. “The figure had gone. Like an arrow it had darted from the top of the headland, and plunged into the sea. beneath. Margaret uttered a scream of‘ularm then hopedâ€"recol- lecting Richard Redruth was one of the best swimmers in Cornwall. Love: now would make him strong. l “ ‘ Oh, Richard !â€"â€"dear Richard 1’ she called ; ‘ be Comforted. Seeing you, I can die happy ! But help is too late ! Farewell â€"-farewcll !’ “ Her heart sank. Before he could get round to the shore for his boat, all \aumld be ov.er “Once more it sounded; It came from above, and raising her face, sh'e beheld on the headland the tall, strong figure of her lover outlined against the dark, laden sky. " ‘ Richard, Richard. aid me ! I Am I to die thus, never again to see you? Richard, Richard !’ “ What was that? " She sprang to her feet, every pulse bea'ing with hope, wnh joy. It was a voice in reply ; it was Richard’s voice, uttering her name. ‘ That idea gave her back strength, and, with a last eflort, she shrieked alond in her'aguny, till the rocks rang “.i‘L 1 -7- _77 “ Now the waves begun to break over her, threatening to hurl her from the rock. Madly she shove to cling to it, but her hands, so tied, rendered her almost powerless. In a few mo- ments all must be over. "‘It- was hard to die thus; made harder by the knowledge that the marrow was to have been her wed- ding-day. “ Wildly, desmiiinglya. she flung out her arms, and prayed for succorâ€" for mercy. Then, kneeling, helpless- ly w»cpt. “ All the while the moments slip- ped by, and the waves rose higher and higher gal last, one dashed over the rock, and did not retreat. It left her feet in water; the rock was beginning to be covered. “ It was a fearful time that followed, almost beyond descriptionâ€"certainly, enough to banish reason. Mafgaxet shrieked and pmyed. The uproar of the elements sent her words back up- on herself‘, appearing to mock her agony. Those frantic moments' were interspersed by brief intervals of calm, wherein the past swept before her like a panorama. “ But al'ready he had sprdfig into the waters-she Was left on the rock alone. « thuamâ€"Wiuiam fileth 1’ she gried ; ‘ do not leave me.’ , V__~vâ€"_â€"â€"â€"vw, wâ€"v- 1"!
