tafail and calculated: "That's

the same moment still more elderly
man on the wharf shreked: That's my
Benedicta, and ran up the gang plank fol-
lowed by a body-guard Of friends, and
rushed after the Tetreatlng woman. Twenty
eight years ago a scene as sad as this was
joyous was enacted by the same pair ON the
Cunard dock at Liverpool, when Thomas
Barbour bid farewell TO Benedicia Price and
set ont TO find his fortune beyond the sea.
Relatives had made the union impossible
ior the time being, and, although
their ages were forty-two and thiuy-hye
years, they concluded TO await the removal
by time Of the objections to their marriage.

was not until a month ago that a lettercame

was free to redeem the pledge she had kept
