Colonel Adams for while was gloomy
and sad, but when he saw how, under the
influence of Myrtle's love Eugene Aller
ton was not only becoming contented, but
was losing all the bitter remembrance Of
his dark past, he was comparatively happy
again, and when he saw them welded, he
was compelled to abandon his lost memo
~, and once more was a cheerful, happy
man.
Robert Garrison and Thomas Barton
lived near to the man whom they had well
manifested so deep friendship for, En-
gene Allerton. And Cyrille Eyting, When
she married some worthy man in her own
station of life, was not unrewarded for all
her interest in Eugene Allerton.
