out the plans for a city, arc among the passen-
gers. 1t was expected that large number OF sec

not completed in time they will be forwarded on
the next trip OF the Tybce.
1t is evident that the company intends to lose no

For O few moments they were at loss to dis
cover from whence the melody came, but on peer

them, they discovered young man, apparently
about five and twenty years DID, approaching. The
tall, slender and rather good-looking fellow wore
Mackinac coat, fur cap and German socks and moe
casons. On coming up to them he passed the COM
pliments Of the evening, and was about to pass
when the explorer asked him II he wouldn't stop
and take cup OF coffee. At first he declined the
civIy, but the request being urged he finally con-
sented to accept.

reason for his strange mode oil lie, stated

Tue letter further stated that she, my betrothed,

remain but that, alter having his hopes In life
blasted, he intended TO live away from the snares
of both man and womanxind. AZ far as could be
