A moment afterwards Newman stood
upon the bulwarks, waving his hat in the
air. while the men were cheering him.
Another moment and he was upon ter
ra fe,ma running as fast as he could for
the river. He crossed South Street. He
entered a narrow lane where at every
block the buildings grew more stately,
and at length emerged upon Broadway,
almost out of breath. He hailed pas
sing stage and threw himself into cor
ner of it, to hide out the busy world that
flowed by on either side, and pictue to his
mind the joyful scene that awaited him.
Paul Newman was eighteen years old,
an orphan and in love. Thrown upon
the world at an early age he had won his
own way in it, sturdily and honestly
Usually lonely and uncompanionable in
his habits, he had given up to pretty
Marcia the whole current of his warm,
impulsivc nature He had been away
from her but three months, during which
he had heard from her, up to the time the
vessel left Galveston. She was prepar-
ing for their wedding day, she said. They
were to be married in travelling dress, be-
cause it would save so much trouble and
besides, do away with an expense and use
less dress.
, Then they were to take the cars togesh-
er, and run away into the country, while
the old folks and the rest of them would

t way, it would not be to late to change the
arrangements when you come back. So

house and lot we bought five years ago.

Next week comes, but mamma is n
to more. There's no renewal in this case.

At length Newman is out of patienc
He thrusts open the door and jumps ou
Ha! thai You wouldn't run so fas

But he doesn't know, and on he goes
