The awful solemnity of tho scene touched their rough hearts, and hats were doffed, and heads bowed, as the young wife prayed to her God in that living gale.

The salt spray was on their beards, but In their eyes was that of which they were ashamed. Then they led her back to the house, tha little house that Leon bad taken her to only a few weeks ago. And two of them watched Into the gray of the morning, for nesth oil skins the fishers' hearts are warm. That was the third night sod Mill ahe slept not The storm was dying now, and moaning, together they paaaed away the fury of grief and tha rage of the storm. And for that day, and for many dsys tha great grief had broken her mind. Storm and sunshine, day In and day out, she sat down on the beach, and questioned the passers as to how many days till her Leon would come home; for had he not said that he would come, and was not hls word It as the law among the fisher-folk- . was so true? And did alia not pray every night to the Holy Mother to Intercede for her, and bring her I eon homcT And the tnassee that had been were they not to bring said for htin home, too? Poor little Marie, her mind, which was like unto a child's, could not understand that the mats which Father Dupre had said, had been to take him to that other home; for the good Father had said msas for the repose of the souls of tho men lying out there In Le Bretagne. And then a wonderful thing happened. Muny days after, again the cry of Le Itretsgiie rang through the streets of Arichat; and aguln waa there much of horror In the cry, for though the sea waa calm now, there was Le Rretagne slowly sailing Into port ; and was not Le Rretagne at the bottom of the sea, and all hands drowned! Small wonder that the browned faces were Idanrhed now, aa the fisher-fol- k lined up on (lie sand, as they had on that day two moons before. "WhMt sorcery la this? they asked each other. It was La Bretagne; they knew her as they k'new their own houses. Spirit hands were sailing her ; on her decks no one moved. A solemn hush settled down UHin them; few spoke, and when they did It was with bated breath. What evil waa this? for good It could not he. Twas Marie who had first seen the ulill. Had her prayere worked this magic? Nearer and nearer the dread ship came, until hut a short way out from the shore she stopped, and swung to an anchor. Invisible hands had anchored her, for there was the cable right cnougli, running out from her bow, as she lifted lazily to the long ground swell Marie "Take me to my k fishermen, pleaded of the "he Is calling me. Do you not see that hla boats are washed away?" Shamed by the presence of the women, four stout fishermen brought up a boat and, taking Marie with them, rowed off to the ship that was like s phantom. Stay with us, mi petite amle," the flshrrwomen pleaded with Marie. Aa well hail they striven to check the ways of the wind. How silent the ship was as the boat glided under her stern 1 Not a sound, not a voice ; no movement only the lap, lap, lap of the waters against her wooden sides.

How low ahe waa In the water; as they stood up In tlielr boat they could see across her deck not across did they see, for half way they saw something something which caused them to shudder, and beg of little Marie to stop In the boat.

Gently they lifted Marie away from her dead lover. The day had come to Marie. The Iloly Mother had heard her prayer, and she was with Leon. And every year since. In Arichat, a mass is said for the repose of the soul of little Marie, and the lover who rose from the tea to come to her, even in death.
