 Not if you take the precaution to warn the steward of the ship to lay in an extra supply of provisions-that boy has such an immense appetite. It would be awful if the provisions ran short in mid-ocean in consequence of it." said Armida, in joking manner. "Armida, please be serious" said her mother gravcly.
 "Oh. I must break out occasionally, mamma, or shall grow melancholy" |" Mrs, Delaro accepted her daughters an swCr as an indisputable fact Tho result of tho conversation was that Mir. Blodger was dcputized to mako arrangements for their early de. parture by way of Liverpool He lost no time in doing it. and that very day he secured berths on Cunardor sailing the last week in May. When the day came every body was ready. and, as the ncble ship steamed down the harbor out on to the broad Atlantic. Mrs Delaro's mind was full of thoughts re. l EiEuluR IiC OCtuIEeuCeS ol Ile YtdFS SipcC her beloved husband was torn from hOr side

 l During Anr life on board ship she had ample oppoT tunity for uudisturbed com l Vit Aow she had n presentiment that the de- olishcd. Often she would almost give Toice to the lines:
 | "Fh" ,nil9 Nf the gods grind slowly, nut they grind exceeding small" Then with renewed hope in her breast fAe would join the merry throng of pleas Ire-sockCrs and cndeavor to drive her ShouThts into a pleasanter channel ;hou~h mono but herself knew how much the effort cost her.
 | Upon arriving in London they went immediatoly to the hotel which Armida had named to Mrs. Bregy, and at once commenced to do" the city and its sur rounlinEs.
 BloagUr was delighted. Day after day he would trudgo around with un- tiring zeal, and he insisted on dragging Armida along with him, until she grew tired of it all and excused herself from l most of his excursions
 Mir. Blodgcr spent great deal of his time at the American Exhibition Ho was interested in some patents being exhibited there and also met a large number of his countrymcn. Some of these he would often invite 10 spend the evening at his rooms in the hotel, and. as Mrs. Dolaro occupied suite of rooms on the s.lmO floor. he frequently introduced number of Americans to her. This led to receptions and parties of various kinds. and finally, finding that the incessant whirl was too much for her, she decided to leave the busy city for time and spend a few weeks at Bournc01 outh, whither sho and her daughter went
 On the other side of tho channel, Mir. Emericl, in charge of Mrs. 3rogy and hcr son, was busy at Amiens, eXerting his utmost endeavors to procure & settle ment with Mrs. Bregy's relatives, so as to avoid the necessity oi expensive liti- gation.
 His knowledge of the world was of great value to his quondam wife and she was placing implicit faith in his ability to push matters to a successful issue and settle every thing favorably Her judgment was correct and it did not take long for them to secure the large legacy. But no sooner was a final set clement effected than Emerich proposed to Mrs. Bregy that she should dispose of the property and turn it into cash, after which they could return to Amer ica This she did not appear quite will ing to do, as she preferred to remain in Franco, at least long enough to permit Eugene to finish a course of studies in Paris, in which city he had already se- cured tutors in various branches. It should be understood, however, that Mir. Emerick did not show any un- due haste in advising Mrs. Bregy to dispose of the property. He took mat ters coolly and resolved to lot affairs run their course up to G certain point But his plans wore precipitated some- what when she inquired of Mir. Emerick how soon their second marriage was to be consummated This was something about which Mir. Emerick was In no particular hurry. In fact he told her: "I do not know but that I will resume my original name of Bregy and thus avoid the necessity of our marrying again."
 'I wish that you would do so, Al, phonse," said his fond wife 'ThS only happiness l seek in tho wide world is to have you call me wife again"
 After pause he Sisaid: "I think that Twill go to Paris and see Eugene. I may then explain the whole circum- stances to him personally"
 II do so wish yoa would"
 Tomorrow, then, will go to Paris, md will probably Nake clean breast of 1t to our boy"
 When the mornSag camo he took an early train for the French metropolis. and the same eveAAing sought out his son.
