to imagine what Mcpherson thought when
he saw it there.
How could it get into the locket, you ask?
Why in the simplest way in the world. That

She would esteem and respect him always,
but nothing more. To let the cat out of the
bag, Miss Fife had fallen desperately in love
with the picture of her supposed Alexander,
ard in vulgar language had spooned oyer it
awfully during the tedious and lone hours
of long voyage. OF course, she imagined
that was her intended husband that she was

Then he reverted to his old customs and
