While it was still early morning Ga
brielle, feeling very strange and lone
ly. was wondering where she should 50
to find her mamma, little German
woman who had been almost neglected
by the passengers on the voyage be-
cause she was not stylishly dressed or
very progressing in appearance, came
up to the Woebegone stranger and SAID
in a motherly tone:
Now, little one, you come TO this
table with my husband ard rne and
have your breakfast. We will take care
of you until you find your mother,
poor little dear"
So said, so done; and it was with less
of load at her heart that Gabrielle
got into the railway carriage with the
TWO worthy Germans, who alone of all
the brilliant ships company had be-
friended her when she needed friends
so sorely. On her ride to London the
little girls cheeks became flushed and
her body hot with fever. And then, at
intervals, the chills would take her,
and she was really i'll, too weak TO do
anything, much less undertake the task
of finding her mother and sister in the
great metropolis.
.Don't worry said the German wo-
man, reassuringly. Wen get car
rage and drive about until ne find
your mother"
"She can't be very far away, can
she?" asked Gabrielle, frightening up
and cheered to fresh effort by the
thought of soon being in the arms of
her dear mamma, VINO was so very i'll

The driver asked her to repeat the
name, and not recognizing it, climbed
down from his seat and went in search
of information. Presently he returned
and said:
''There don't anybody know such a
place, miss

don't know where the Tribune build
ing is? I want you to drive is to the
New York Tribune, that belongs to my
papa"
The driver rubbed his head in per-
pIexity, and after some further Con-
sultation came back with the address
of the Tribune's London correspondent,
George w. Smalley. AT this time Mr..
Smalley kept fine establishment in
the West End, to which they drove
forth, little Gabrielle resting her head
on the German woman's shoulder and
feeling so weak and feveriSh she could
hardly endure the delay.
ooh, dear me- she sighed, why don't
we get there? I want to see my NAM

DISAPPOINTMENTS.
At last they reached Mr.. Smalley's
house and Gabrielle managed 10 walk
to the door and ring. An imposing lcok-

timidly.

shooting in Scotland.
It afterwards transpired that this was
not the truth. Mr.Smallsy was really
in the house. but the Ernkey had used
the discretion reposed in him to turn
away what he regarded as an undesir-
able visitor.

Gabrielle with sinking heart.
