many weary days and sleepless nights, Smith
determined TO seek the object Of his alteration,

no stray hair had fallen upon it to indicate
the fact that he had head on his shoulder.

reaching TO the floor, reflected his entire per

scarcely time to compose himself before the
lady made her appearance. She received her
