burst into roar OF raspmg laughter
went his white wig into the hash, revealing
the level brown head of prepossessing
young man." 1T is my Alicksander,"

butter with extended arms. $50 it is old
Alick, " simpered the adopted daughter, in
stantly beginning to arrange her curls
more killingly. The supposed old man was,
indeed, no other than the widows long lost
son, Alexander, who, after almost break
ing Ills lnOtner neafC, running away " seal
getting unspeakeably sunburnt, and har-
pooning several whales, had finally return

spoiler. Reverence for the sanctity of the
grand maternal emotion over a recovered |
