Every barkeeper In the town and every

the hand and swore that "Cap'n Jack
was a ''perfec' genman." The atten-
tons Of the Prince VI Wales are no
sweeter 10 the professional beauty than
were these words of compliment 10 Capt
John Hurlstone.
John received the attentions of the
young ladies more modestly. He never
boasted Of his conquests: indeed. be did
not seem 20 think that he had made any.
He never tired Of telling how fond he
was of the girls, individually and col

him. Emily Barford, like many clever
girl before her, did not understand men
as well as she thought she did, and IN
the case Of John Hurlstone was entirely
mistaken He was just the man TO be
caught by baby face" and when Amy
Bayliss rolled her big blue eyes up
towards his and stretched her little mouth
with smile that showed two rows Of
the whitest teeth, the big heart of Capt.
John swelled 10 bursting. and he swore
