fnai adieu to the English friends from whom she had jast parted. She hardly feft that she was going home. The live years that she had spent in London and Paris parfeoting her education had al- most had tae effect of extracting all pa triotism from her nature; the friends she was leaving had grown very dear to her, and she could not accastom herself Co the thought that the farewell she had just said was final one.
 It was not until the ship was under full headway, careering down the broad Mer- sey with all the force Of her mighty en- zines. that far-away America began to look like a reality. and the prospect ot home. father. friends and the welcome awaiting her Co grow clear. The effect of this was 10 sead her down Co dinner with a sharp appetite and moderately good temper though enough Of a vague, iude- hnahle discontent remained to render her more than usually obServant and critical
 Miss Gray had had somewhat uu- pleasant experience on the occasion ot her voyage i've years ago. Falling in with the usual iaxity of etiquette preva- lent npan the seas, she had formed tho acquaintance of young man, who, before land was reached. had presumed far enough on her condeS cension Go render himselE intensely obnoxious to her. The memory of this experience was very sharr, and if there was one thing she had resolved to lsuard against on this trip it was such on adventure as this, Con- kaQuently, when she seated herself at the table, her first impulse was to scrutiniae her felloW-passengers closely and dis cover in lust how much danger she was.

SHE SAW A COLLEEN HEAD APPEAR. golden head appear above the churning mass of water, and, few rods from it, another head, that ot little child that she recognized instantly as one that had been playing at her feet an hour before. And, as she felt herself surrounded by a cluster of excited men and screaming women, she noticed with what awful rapidlty both heads seemed to be flying, flying flying from where she stood. Then came dark ness-black, utter darkness, in tho midst of which she was borne away to her state- room, in morciful ignorance of the rest
 Tho stout motherly old stewardess told her every thing next morning. Told her how the swiftly y-launched life-boat had reached the rsseuer just in time to snatch the little ono from his outstretched arms and then drag him, fainting. on board; and how he was now the idol of tho whole ship. The honest old lady, who had witnessed many brave deeds in her twenty years of life at sea, wept copious- ly as she declared she had never beheld the equal of this. To Miss Gray's eager inquiries she replied that the young man, God bless himN was nonc the worse for his bath, and had made several unsuc- cessful attempts to see her. He might do so as soon as he pleased now, how ever.
 Not until nearly eight o'clock that evening did Miss Gray venture from her stnte-room. When she did so she crept cautiously along the corridor and paused at the saloon to gaze through the glass before entering. Her hand was on the knob when she felt a light touch upon her shoulder. She trembled, but did not turn. She knew what the touch meant
 An arm-that same, flannel coated arm, by the way--stole into hers. and, without knowing how or why, she felt herself be. ing guided up the broad flight of stairs that led 10 the main deck. She was not surprised, after that and did not resist when she found herself being insensibly drawn towards that identical nook in the rear of the wheel house.
 Arrived there, no word was spoken As though sensible to her tourney's ap- preaching end, tho mighty vessel shot through the water to the tune of the great screws ceaseless throbhing. The water was calm and placid. and the autumn moon looked down upon two figures, one with bent head, gazing downward; tho other with upturned face, upon which there was shining light which comes into true wornan's face but once in lifetime. The figures, the moon might have noticed, were very close together.
 And when genial MT. Gray observed his truant junior partner MT. Julius St. John, handing his daughter over the gang-plank the next morning, his joy was great from business as we'll es paternal point of view. But afterwards. when told the story, he earned his daughters keenest disp,easure for space of nearly five minutes by declaring that he believed St, John s'wormed Lucrece's identity out of the captain and then had the kid thrown overheard on purpose" HAROLD R.

Mere Bundles of Nerves.

Some peevish, querulous people seem mere bundles of nerves. The least sound agitate their sensoriums and rnffles their tenpers. No doubt they are born so. But may not their nervousness be ameliorated, if not en- tirely relievedi Unquestionably, and with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. By cultiyat- ing their digestion, and insuring more com plete assimilation of the food with this ad- mirable corrective, they will experience a speedy and very perceptible gain in nerve quietude.
