CHAPTER VIII.
Before giving an account Of the in.
PRODUCTION Of Dick to tho young
Quakeress, let me introduce her arst
10 the reader.
She ives an orphan, and had for
some time past lived with her aunt
and unsle-the good Quakers-and
wa to them rs . daughter. She was,

disposition such as is rarely found
among girls whose every desire has
been anticipated by kind and iodul.
gent parents or guardians. Most
young persons are spoiled by too much
Indulgence. But here was q young
lady, possessed Of nut brown hair, )u.
minous hazel eyes, fair complexion, Of
medium height. and with one Of the
most expressive ~countenancss which II
had ever been my good fortune to
meet. Tbep, TOO, the sweet music Of
her voice fell upon the ear With that
degree Of rhythm that caused a TO
feel that every sentence o. IL dropped
from her lips was bpt . component
part Of some grand poem; some dc.
iightful composition in which was
brsathed soft yet strong and healthy
sentiments Of pure affection, sympathy
and love for oil the human race.
doubt much il this young lady
wss conscious Of che excellence Of her
physical, mental and moral makeup.
had already learned enough Of her
history to know that she had been
carefully educated and fitted for the
adornmeat Of society. She seemed to
DO wholly alive TO the pleasure and
happiness Of others, losing sight Of
her own Surroundings only as she
sought to make them subserve the 10.
forests Of those with whom she came
in contact. She Was modest, retire.
ing, and st the same time yivaoious,
full Of life aud sooisbility.
The reader may wonder Why il was
that I did not WOO this young lady for
myself, instead Of looking upon her q
. suitable companion for Dick.
Well, to tell the truth, /, like many

infatuated with the thought that u
should one day add my name to the
already too long list of heroes who
have sought TO explore the north pole
regions. And in order that there

some pretty girl and join her fate t.

Then, too, having come to believe thai
this noble girl WAS in every way suit,

friend, Dick Nsilor. l would hav,

tried to appropriate this real tressur,
to myself. 1t may seem improbabl,
that one should forego the happiness
Of becoming the partner for life o.

this double incentive, viz: for Dick,
