those dreadful sailors coming at you
with knife! Both OF the plump

form now. Even the unsopbisticated
sense OF officer Kyle could not help see
ing something curious IN this last re-
marx. Did the widow think he meant
20 make love 70 her? lie was chival-
rous soul, and would no more have
iostered such mistake than he would
nave perjured himself. Besides, he

You. Ever since dear James died I've
been 50 lonesome that, but for Mamie

thinking that after all She might rot
have misunderstood him. s.tl,at needn I
be, I'm sure; no one would think Of
separating you.r But the widow was
unconsoled. She drew in her breath
with a sob. He NAV take her away

Mrs. Trussel threw herself back in the
chair.
There, now, she cried, II told
Mamie you wouldn't approve OF It.
You told her that?" he roared.
Then sense OF his own helplessness
came over him and he said quietly. with
grim humor: We'll ! don't.
Its agreatp pity" sighed the widow,
that when we're 50 happy otherwise
we should have such atronble as this. Z
