So far so good. But there were other arti-
sans who would have to be paid, more par
ticularly the carpenter and the painter.
The services of the former were absolutely
necessary, and Captain Noah did not feel
warranted In dispensing with those OF the
latter; as, unless his ship was nicely painted

[another free transationl, and surmounted
the obstacle in this way: The carpenter
and painter had come from
some distance and were not likely
to know that he had only one daughter.
When, therefore, they called upon him-of
course, separately-he presented the young
lady to them. and made them the same
proposition as he had made to the carpen-

This looked like a good sign. so Noah
hurried down to the breakfast-room,
where he was delighted at the reception
which met him at The hands-and lips-of
three charming Young ladies. There was
but one little cloud floating over the hort

Well, the marriage ceremony was per-
