I strolled tmidst where slept the deni], And there on all the headstones read Of many glorious deeds once do Before the saints htd life's race run.
I tried in vtin to find some stone Thtt told of WTonns ere life had flown, But til thtt eye could ever find, Wts praise to glory left behind.
And when my wnlk at last was ended. And from the dead my way I wended, I mused, did ever sinner die? If so, why epitaphs frankly iio.

"Ilonietulicr   wo do    not    know    Iho
coHSt; people who have lived bore all
Ihelr lives  say thoy  never saw  such
high lidos boforo In the Cnrililtoos."
"Glrla ure such cownnlH," inuttoied ten yoar old Lester, sullenly. "We aro not afraid, nro wo, KeithV"
Keith was only eight, and nocus- tomed to look up to Ills daring cousin In all things, so ho answered loftily; "Of course not. Wo waut to play we arc siuuggUrs, and if the cavo waa »f<fe for them It Is for us. Gerry don't know anythlug nhuut It."
(3oi'i'y saw thnt hor brothor wns In ono ot his perverse moods, aud for n moment folt tempted to take Keith with bor lo the store. His mother had left hiin lu her cliargo, nnd she felt the responsllillily koonly. But one glance at tlio lowering sky convinced hor thnt she hnd bettor leave bliu Iie¬ blnd, since ho already had n severe cold. So bidding tliom both be good boys, aud not stir out of tho huuso uutll sbo roturuod. she left thorn to thoir own dovlces.
Tho Jilgh clilTs of Tobago looked dark and liiuoly uudor the leadou skle:.; white, curling wnves wore loapiug up agninst thom. nnd heaps of froth lay ou thojr sheer sides. (Jerry cmihl hardly 'stand against the wind, ami mado slow progress toward tho vil¬ lage.
The trip wns ncconipllshod at last, however, nnd slio set out for houie lu haste. Sbo hoped Lester would heed hor warning, but ho wns so wilful it was uot easy to tell what wild thiiii; ho might do. He seemed to thiuk It porfoctly safe for him to vcntnio on the olIlTa at any time, though In stormy weather oven the old natives of the Island  gave them a wide  berth.
Tho Ituthvon fumily were wintering In Tobago, and ou the present occa¬ sion, CJcrry's father nud mot her had gone ou a sluirt criiise lo the (iieua- diiics, aeciimiianieil liy Kcllli's parnils. Mr. ami .VIrs. Dantoii. who uwued a yacht. Their leturu had lieen lnokoil for before this; hut tho recent heavy storms had delaycil Ihi'iu. (leriy wished thiy would hurry hack, for the two I'cstloSs boys woro bceoiiiliig tin inauagenble.
-Vs sho travoi'sed tlio cIIIT; road, slie s;iw below her the tide sweeping in, nnd the gi-.at, fuaiiiy waves h aping up in splcuiliir tn lireak tu pii ces iu the abyss. The sky wa.i its gray as llie sen; and not a living thing was In sight save a loiiily seagull sUlniinlug Hlinvc  the uurge.
There suiiul tlic liltio cottage lieyuiiil, lookiu.g warm ami cosy, with a gleam of tlrcllght shitiiiig tliruugh one of tin- windows. (I'eny Avaa glad lo reaeli It nnd thrust Uor face Inside the door, lliliiking lo surprise the hoys, but w;is herself suriiriseil tu liml Ihe room ile- sertod, Sho oa.«t a startled glance at tho hat-rack iu tho hall. Yes. their hats and coals wore missing. They hnd disobeyed nnd gone out In the wind. Sbo had seen so sign of theiii lloug the cIllTs—could Lester have been so foolhardy as to seek tlio sunig- glcrs'  cave  after all?
The bauds of the little clock ou tlio mantel puliitcd to the hour of flvo. Slie liad lieon nhsout an hour and a half. In another minute she was out III the open air and hurrying along tho clllls as fast as sho was able. There was nothing In sight; the whole Bhoi'c was oiniily over tho long, dreary oxpnuso. terror drove tho color from check and lip. For the tide wns ris¬ ing, anil if the lioys wore In the cave thoy woro iu grent peril, with tho wind dashing tlio waves so high along Ihc clllTs,
She dared nnl wait to alarm nny of Ihc ueighliois llioIr dwellings stood at tno great n dlstauco. She must at- louiiii the rescue alone; aud with winged feet she siicd In tli,. illi-ci'llon of tbo cave. 'I'lie wind liuireleil her rudely; several Ilinis she was fnrecil In pau.«c lo tako liriatli. She called the children loudly, hut wiud and sea drowued   her  vnloi'.
lireatlilcss aud falut with terrnr. she reni'Iied ihe cave: masses of slimy sea¬ weed lay heaped at the onlrauce, but she  pushed  It  aside.
• I.est.'r-Keiili:" slie cried, and Iieard her wild shriek oeh.ied liack froni the ilaiiip walls.
To lier Juy twn voices aiisnercil:
•Ilore wo are. Oirry -come nn. Weic having sm h larks. We are siiiuirglers, yen kiiniv, and tliese shells nre uur treasures and uh.' what's the matter'/"
for (ierry had canglit ea.li liy the li.iud. and for a moment was unahle to litter a snund.
¦Coiuc." she managed t'l say. at last, "there is put a iiii.nient  to lose.'
She drew tin i.i ahmg toward the iii- tranoe: v luu they reaehed it. Keith nttorod a cry of foar. "Oh. tbo seal We cau't go through all that foam— We sbnll U' dnmneii:"
Ho shrank hack, tuggiug at Gerry'a hand, and a feeling of despair eniuo over hor. To wnde out tin ough tbe water wns tholr only ehuuoo. Must thoy go bark lu the oavc and wait while Iho tide ¦ rept higher auu hlKhiT, uutll It drownod thom lik<' rats iu a trap?     It   was   a   h^ug   lave    ami   It

It was vory dlfflcult to climb, and the seaweed Impeded her progress, but In a fow minntes sbe cnme to a bare Iilocc of rock which Jutted ont from the cnve, and 8Wmo»l to rench quite n distance back. Hope sprang anow in her heart as sho mnde ber way back to the boys, ond sending Ix-stor up abend, helped poor Utile trombling Koltb to mount likewise.
Thoy huddled Into a corner, clasping each other closely; nnd then Oerry broke down and criod. Y'ou sec she was only a girl, and "girls arc such cowards,"
"Don't, Gerry!" whispered Lester, In rather a shaky voice, "I'm no end sorry. I mado Keith come down hero ns soon as ovor you wore out of sight. I honestly never thought tho wntor cnme Into the cnve. It seemed to me If the smugglers used It It must be safe, and I wauled to shuv,- Keith I wasn't afraid. Ile didn't want to come—the wind blew so It scared him —lint 1 mndo him. Do you tbink wo shall lie drowued? If we ore. It will bo all my fault."
"I hope we nro snfe," answered his sister, "hut the sea Is so heavy wo can¬ not toll. It uever has comj; up so high as this, but it might this time. Wc can unly wait ond hope that God will  save  ue."
Darker nnd darker grow the cavo— heavier nnd nearer tho rush of tho en- cronchlng wnves. rresently tbo spray wuuld wot thom even In their shel¬ tered cnrner, nnd It would be ton long hours, at least, cro they could leave tho cavern.
Steadily tho wator rose bonrntb tlietii, aud tho damp chilled them through nnd through. Hour nfter hour passed liy. and Kolth nt length fell asleep, with his boad In Gerry's lap. He slilvorod In his sloop, and luonned at Intervals, as If tho bonor of their situation were with bIm even In di'oaiulnnd.
Little by llltic the fury of tbo storm seemed to abate, aud tho tide began fo recede, slowly, nud as If roluolant to leave Its prisouers. Tho wnves crept solibliigly bnck to tho sea's grny em¬ brace, nnd n falut gleam of diiyllght IK'operi down at (ho weary children from cliliiks In the rocky roof. Dnwn had como at last, aud in a short time thoy might leave Ihc smugglers' oavc.

COMMTJNnXOF INTEREST
VANDERBILT   EVOLVED  THIS IDEA   IN   RAILROADING.
KIglit Men Said to Be In PraaUcal Con¬ trol of Our 81 eel Thoronghfarca—Janioi J. am the Oreatrat Kailroad Aulocral Klnce Commodore Vuderbllt'a Time. "The fact that cigbt moq should be In practical control of our railroads Is primarily dno lo tho enforcement ol the KedornI laws enacted to prevent railroad combinations. Uore is a striking paradox: The Supreme Court of the I'ulted States. In dissotrlng the .fulut Traflic Assoclntlon. Infused Iho breath of life Into Ihe 'community of Iuterest' Idea. I'rovontcU by the high est law In tho laud from forming traf¬ lle agreements or pools, the railroad owuers felt bound to protect them¬ selves by forming etill greater com- biuatluus ou the mutual-ownership plan.
"Some persons sny that It was Wll¬ llnm K. Vanderbllt who first suggested the idea of 'community of Interest' which hns developed ivUh marvelous rapidity Into tbe basic principle of railroad manngement In this country. Certain it is thnt Mr. Vanderbllt. nnd the puwertiil lluauelers whose luter¬ ests aro closely allied with his. were tho flrst ones to clasp bauds In o pro¬ tective mutuality of ownership. Hav¬ iug welded all tho Vanderbllt lines iuto cue compact system, William K. Vanderbllt was In u position to take the Initiative iu a niovemout to domin¬ ate tho railroad eltuatlon between New Vork aud Chicago. Mr. Vanderbllt and oilier mciubors of his fumily became stoekholders of the rcuusylvnnia Rail¬ road aud capllallsts long IdentiQod with tho last-uamod proporly bought New Y'ork Ceutrnl stock. Is'ogotlatlons wero opeued for a close alliance be¬ tween  these two groat Interests.
"W. K. Vanderblit's sagacity, ener¬ gy nud thoroughness lu working out tho details of this far-renclilug scheme surprised even his life-long associates. I'rlur tu the Illuess aud death of his eldest brother, Cornelius, be bnd flg- urod comparatively little In the man- agomout of the fumlly's railroad In- tei'.'Ets. Most of bis time was given up to foreign travel nnd social pleas¬ ures. Veteran employes ot the Van- dcrbilt Hues, fooling tbnt because tboy had begun Bcrvlce with 'tbe Commo- doro,' thoy were privilege to express their own opinions, froquontly shook tbclr heads, and muttered: 'Who ia going to succeed Cornollus? Willie K. hns no busiuess head.'
"The sudden stroke of paralysis wblch compelled Cornelius Vander¬ blit's retirement from business was followed by a series of surprises, ex¬ tending throughout tbo Vanderbllt sys¬ tem.
