THE DRAG OF THE UNDERTOW.

RANK MEDAIRY had a dull headache. He had received a case of champagne the day before, and he and his friends had made a night of it. Hence the headache and general out-of-sorts feeling.

A young lawyer of more than ordinary promise, Medairy had already made a name by his successful management of two or three cases; and he was looked upon as one of the rising men at the bar.

'I don't like this,' he said to himself, on seeing his hand shake a little as he raised a cup of coffee to his lips; these champagne suppers ruin a fellow's nerves.'

He tried to eat, but had no appetite. He must get toned up before he was fit for anything. So he left the table and went to the bar. 'That's your sort!' he said to himself, as he felt the exhilaration creeping over his nerves. 'Nothing like a little good brandy.'

At the billiard-room he met one or two friends. After a few games they went to the bar for 'drinks,' drawn thither by an appetite which was beginning to act with a steady but unregarded force.

'Have you seen anything of Bradford this morning?' asked Medairy, addressing a friend, whose name was Henderson.

'No; I called at Congress Hall, but he hadn't put in an appearance yet. His head isn't as strong as it might be.'

'I'm a little afraid of Bradford,' Medairy answered, gravely. 'Why?' asked Henderson.

'A man should know himself just how much he can bear.' 'Yes; that's so.' But there was no heartiness in the response. 'What's the matter, Dick?' said Medairy.

as an old judge.'

him

'You look as serious

'Do I?' said the young man with a forced laugh.

'I'm afraid champagne suppers don't agree with you.'

'Why not?' Henderson asked a little annoyed.

You're so dull and moody next morning.'

'Am I?' He smiled, and made an effort to rally himself. 'Speaking of Bradford,' said Medairy, 'I'm really anxious about He's a splendid fellow; but he has no head for champagne.' 'As you said, a man should know himself just what he can bear,' put in the third member of the party, a young man named Millwood, who had not before spoken. "This is Bradford's trouble, I'm afraid; and if he doesn't take care the undertow will catch him.'

At this speech Henderson and Medairy looked at each other. Each saw a startled expression in the other's eyes. They had both felt the undertow more than once.

"The tide is coming up, and there's going to be a splendid surf,' said one of the young men, as they strolled down to the beach. 'Who's going in?' asked Henderson.
