tails of the place and inhabitants.
Promising To write weekly, keeping him

not answer to faint on the very threshold
Of his new duties.

work lac must be courageous and brave. so
he turned away from his post Of obscrva-
ton on deck. and sought the more lively
saloon.
Taking a book from one of the tables,
he affected to read.

dle-aged lady, who seemed in feeble
health. as She leaned back languidly in
an easy chair. while her pale face and
attcnuatrd figure spoke Of prolonged
sutferingS. but Il patient spirit.
She was evidently waiting for the APP
ptarance Of some person. as her dark
ewes continually wandered towards the.
door.
Dr. Eli"nstein looked at her with in
creaSng interest.
Silently he recalled face after face Of
his friends and patrons, i'll vain: he
could not place the likeness that had 50
Suddenly attracted him. and his failing
to do so caused him both annoyance
and chagrin,
Suddenly a brighter look fioatcd into
