were to be permitted to remain at the home
until they were u years of age, and as soon
as practicable they were to be taught to
read and write, their religious and moral
education was to be looked after, and at the
same tine they were to be taught such a
trade as their particular aptitudes might
justify. Such ones as belonged to the fami-
lies of sailors were to be trained for the sea
and shipped as cabin-boys or apprentices.
1t really seemed as if Molly had special
affection for this class in remembrance of
Captain John.
The end of 1881 came, but with it no It'd
inss of the lost ship or of any soul that had
been on board of her when she sailed, and
although large rewards had been offered for
the slightest trace of the long-lost vessel
there had been no grounds for dispatching
the Molly'S Hope on a second voyage. But
Mrs. Allaire was still buOyant and hopeful.
Possibly 1882 might bring about what 1881
had been powerleSs to effect. And the Bar
kerS, too. What had become of them.
Where had Lew Barker taken refuge to
keep clear of reQuiSltiOn for his arrest? As
the police authorities had given up looking
for him Mis-. Allaire found herself con-
strained to abandon the thought of dis
covering Hates whereabouts
In truth, this was a great sorrow for
Molly, who was deeply interested in the lot
of her unfortunate relative. Il was mat
ter of astoniShment to her never to receive
letter from Kate, for how easily could the
latter have communicated with her cousin
without IN any way importing her husbands
safety. Could they both be ignorant of the
facts that Molly had recovered her reason,
that she had fitted out vessel to search for
Captain John. that the expedition had ended
in naught? 1t could not be possible. Had
not the newspapers of both worlds followed
the movements of the Molly's Hope, and
how could it be possible that Lew and Kate

"That is not impossible, Molly" inter-
rupted Mr. HoliSter.
Mrs. Alaire was upon the point of pro-
testing vigorously against the implication
contained in this answer when Captain Will

Allaire, that the Molly's Hope be kept in

Three days after this conversation, Zach
French, the boatSwain, reached San Diego
and presented himself at Prospect Cottage.
Thirty-Seyen years OF age. strongly built,
with face Drowned by exposure and eyes
full of determination, this man had some
thing pleasing about him. You felt that he
belonged to the kind that never shrinks
back or hesitates. but goes straight to the
place where he is told to 60. The welcome
that he received from Mrs. Allaire was so
full of gratitude that the honest sailor quite
lost the use of his tongue.

feelings had somewhat Quieted down. " it

had done would be no sailor at all-he would
be a mere hireling His only regret had
been that he was not able to save her child.
But he could not accept anything from her
for what he had done. He thanked her for
her kind wishes, and with her permission
he would call to see her while he was
ashore.

"Then-you have hope"
"More than hope, Mrs. Allairel have a
firm and solid conviction. Would a aptain
like your husband permit himself to be
whiSked away on the skirts of gale? Not
he! Such thing was never known
The sailors words and the manner in
which they had been spoken sent thrill
through Molly's heart. 1t was such COM
fort TO know that she would no longer be the
only one ito think that Captain John was
not lost, and that this other person was on 9
to whom she herself owed her life. She
saw something providential in all this.

A Fine Vocalist at the Age of 10.

Josie Strong, 10 years old, the Herman
street Kentucky Belle" was buried at Call
vary to-day.
Josie had lived in Chicago for TWENTY-FIVE
years; came here after the war, in which
she lost her husband and two sons; with
her only surviving son she came here from
Kentucky; her boy was blacksmith and
earned enough at his trade to maintain him
self and mother in comfort. He married
shortly after coming here, and with the
young people josie lived as happy as 4
queen until seven months ago, when death
took away her son. This affection put an
end to the old woman's days. She was
never the same afterward, and for the past
two months it has been noticed that her
mind was wandering
She had splendid voice, and every sum-
mer evening Tor years it was her custom to
sit on the door step and sing old Southern
songs. Every one in the nelghborhood
knew Josie, and they all delighted to hear
her. sing the old plantation melodies She
was an especial favorite with the young
folks and the boys aud girls took pleasure
In buying ribbons and shawls for her. They
