..vv4v1.s VI -4mcrIva uuat sne thought it
quite the thing to go to such an outland-
ish and faroff quarter Of the globe as
America via a Spanish port. Columbus
had gone that way, and why should not
we?
We had an all night ride to Bayonne
in one of those Anticipated compartments
used in railway carriages all over Eu
rope, but the ride was not tedious or
the night long. This little earth had no
happier couple, and talking of the happy
years that lay before Us the night rush
ed by like fairy dream.
Where was my conscience? Why, my
dear reader, had sung it such a song
that it was delighted with the music,
and had, l was going to say, gone to
sleep, but it had not. 1t was wide
awake, and we We're good chums. We
both-conscience and had persuaded
ourselves it was Virtuous deed TO do
evil that good might come. Ny con-
science was perhaps as old as the sun,
but l myself was young and too mex
perienced to see the fallacy of the argu
ment, since 1 myself was the doer Of the
wrong, but of course should have hot
ly denounced any other such philosopher
as a villain and rogue.
The night few by, and to our surprise
we found 240 miles had slipped away,
and we We're in Bayonne. Thirty min
utes more, and we were speeding south
