The Story of a Brother's Revenge.

(CU inei.ded. ) The young man_ struggled, but

sailors’ arms were too strong, and he was hurried oa tothe ship. From that time on, no one spoke to him save once, when a sailor was com- manded to print in Indiaink, across his forehead, so that the world might read, “ Tbis man robs womanhood,” and on either hand, that it might be for ever in his sight, the word “Grace.,

That was an indescribable journey. Going away from kindred, he knew not whither, but he had sent anotherona longer journey. The days wore away in bitter stifling thoughts. What was their plan for him? How could he ever appear before the world, branded ashe was? Would they bury him in the ocean, where no law could reach them because the world would say his penalty was just? what would life amount to if he lived? Where would it be spent? He slept and ate little. Lines were growing along his brow and about his eyes.

After weeks of anguish an Island eame insight. Thither theship turned her course and stooped. It was a desolate place, with no_sign of habita- tion for man or beast, Rockboand, the ocean washed up with the same sound it used to have against the cliff, where Grace and he had so often sat, and from whence she went to her death. There was a solitary clump of trees, just like the spot where they found her body. Must everything remind him of her?

The lumber was taken out. Then quiek hands fastened a rade shetier. Suflicent food was placed in the hut, and seed for planting. Thenas the Betsy made ready for starting, the cap- tain said, in a cold, hard way, “This js to be your home Remember !”

“Great God! No!” gasped the young man ;“kill me! Do anything rather than this death by inches- I shall go wild !”

“Another went wild for you!’’and the Betsy moved outof her barren- moor- ings, and there was only the far off sky, the limitless ocean and the desolate waste whereon he stood.

Should he kill himself? A man who robs another of life usually has not the courage to rob himself. We are crea- tures of necessity. We accept what we must. With faltering steps he walked around his prison. There was not one thing to love not a flower or bird, only the monotone of the sea that had no kinship with joy.

Tired, broken, an old man in a day, he flung himself down in his hut to sleep. Nature is kind even to her enemies, and he slept. He dreamed that he and Grace sut again on the headland, and she talked, in her purity

_and trust, of her confidence in him,

her belief that he could do no wrong ;

,of their peaceful and blessed future, and of the joy -her brother would feel

when he came home, for he so rev- erenced a noble man. How pretty their home should be down where they could hear the waters as they heard them on the cliff. She was prettier oven than he thought, her hand so smooth and white as he held it, ber cheeks so delicately tinged with red. She trusted in him too fully; would that she doubted him a little, only that he might show her how true he was! Then the scene changed and he was away on a far off journey, longing to et to her, but an ocean rolled between. very vessel he essayed to enter sank, and some were far away or would not come, though he hailed them ever so loudly. He cried in an agony of des- ir, when a voice just like that of race, said sweetly, ‘1 am come to ou!’ and looking up an angel stood beside, him, and it was Grace. Her hand touched his forehead. He reach- ed out to clasp hersin his arms and he awoke. He was alone; alone on a barren Island in the middle of the ocean, but he never forgot the touch of

her hand. The hours, the days, and the months and the years, crept by with a snail’s Ue planted the corn that burst

“tbrough the ground and took on blade. , and tasseled ear, with no eyes to see

save God’s. He read and re-read his few books, and thought; but oh, the desolateness of life! Death would have beon a mercy, but death did not come. Every mornivg and evening was the same. Sabbath and week days were alike to him. No word was heard. his own voice. Year after year he strained his eyes for a sail, but there was never one in sight. Oh, to look upon one living thing ; to see once more one human face!

Five years went by and a sail was in sight. With an intensity almost suicidal, he watched the ship draw nigh. Fears mingled with hopes. It was no doubt the Betsy, but what would. that bring to him? She came alongside, dropped anchor it seemed only for a minute, when the captain gave him some books and said in the old hard

He forgot the sound of

{ way, ‘Remember ! the only word spok- ‘en, and the Betsy was lost in the hor- lizon. His heart died within him, but te had seen a face once more thank God for that, if only of a bitter enemy.

His hair was grown quite white. He iwas older by thirty years than when ‘came, How much longer could it ast? He hoped when he died it lwould be under the clump of bushes like those where they found Grace. Eternity alone must wash ont ‘those India brands on his hands and fis steps grew feebler year It was a terrible expiation To rob womanhood

| forehead, iby year. lof a terrible sin. iwas to rob God!

At last another five vears had gone by. Ten years silent commune with God and nature had wrought a great change. He could bear now whatever came, but there could not be long to bear it.

Again the old ship Betsy came in sight. Calm, unruffled as a man who (knows he is going home, whether he knows the route or not, he waited for the familiar ship. The captain took in all at glance.

‘Shall I go home to die ?’

‘Yer,’

‘I should like to seo the grave of Grace and our baby once more.’

The incoming voyage was much shorter than the outcoming, but not short enough for the weary men to reach the desired haven. They were nearing the port.

‘T have asked and receive forgive- ness,’ said the dying man ‘I want yours also. It is Grace’s hand ; I feel it just asin my dreain. She has come for me. I have but one wish, to lie beside her!’

‘It shall be as you wish.’ And the captain's hand pressed warmly the cold hand of death.

The Betsy came in with flags at halfmast. The villagers did not see the brand which repentance had washed out for heaven,but not for earth. And they buried him by the side of Grace.
