land, found my friends, reported my
death (Which my neglect in writing had

ployers had that morning discovered
they were $1,000 short, and had dis
patched two detectives to find the faith
full Mr. Markham.

deception of that rascal; how I paid oack

Bob Philips, whenIthe villain was sent
back to the scene of his first exploits for
several years at Her Majesty's expense !;

long-loved Alice, said to Tom: "Ah, it
not our doing, Tom, it is Gods ever
watchfui care that tests us, lsves us. and
brings US always out of our trials just in

married he said: eyes, Bob, and it was
you who taught me to believe in woman's
fnith and constancy; and cannot feel
quite happy until I own that part of
my happiness is due alone to you"
