on the deck as before. What things had happened since last they stood there to- gether. They had met death in it's most terrific shape. yet had not quailed. They had been witnesses of each others fortl- tude.
 We will be in Boston by sunrise tomor- row morning, Emma. You will then be home. Emma, you cannot forget me.?"
 Never! Never! My preserveri Oh what do ] not owe you? What cause have to bless you; and my father will thank you and do all in his power to reward the noble preserver of his only child.'
 IT he wishes to reward me, there is one way for him to do it; there is one reward, you"
 ''Tell me all about this wreck. and this youth who saved you" said Mr. Randolpn. in the evening after their arrival to his sister.
 We were wrecked on Bear Island. Mir. PentonVllle, by means of oars and life pre- servers, brought Us ito the shore He was attentive to Emma during the voyage"
 During the voyage? Sister, you should not have permitted it. You should have done your duty better"
 Was that my duty?"
 No; for I have another destination for Emma; and how can I fulfill my wishes if I find that she is already fond of this MT Pennington?"
 HIS name is Pentonviile; and you, with your desire for a rich connection, will not find his equal anywhere, let me tell you honor Emma's love for him."
 'I will tell you the true reason, sister It is not because I despise MT. Pentonvdlle but the fact is that I have intended Emma for another Long years ago, when in Eng land, l formed a friendship with Lord Hem ny Egiin9tone. His son is the man whom intended for Emma. He may be here to- morrow"
 The morrow came; Emma and her aunt sat in the parlor, and Mir. Randolph was there too. Emma's face was gloomy, and her heart was sad; for since her arrival she had not seen Penltonvllle. Her father had told her all his intentions; and she hated the name of Eglinstone
 "Ha! there he is now!' said her father, starting from this chair as Ia carriage rolled up to the door, "rhere he is''
 Emma's eyes sank td the floor "I cam not look at him, said she to her aunt.
 Lord George Eglinstone,'' said the serv- amt, announcing him.
 The noble entered. He was a tall man, with dark hair clustering about his head his eyes were black, his nose Grecian, and altogether his appearance was most strik- ing. And there wtas an air of frankness and open-heartedness about him, which won the heart at once.
 "Lord George Eglinstone, welcome! Good heaven, how like your fatheri Were he not dead I should take you for him." And MT. Randolph shook his hand warmly.
 But his sister had started from her chair with an exclamation of wonder as soon as he had entered the room. She spoke not a word, but seemed spellbound.
 As to my Lord Eglngstone, he shook warmly the hand of MT. Randolph, and did not say anything but looked toward Emma, who sat by the table with her head leaning on her hand, looking down.
 "Emma!' said he
 She started. "George-George Penton- vie Oh, can it bei' and Emma suddenly overcame her aversion to noblemen; for she ran toward him, and scarce knowing what she did, or where she was, took his hand in hers and cried for joy. What, why, how, how is this?" stam- mered MT. Randolph.
 "Mr Pentonville beg your pardon. How do you do?" said the aunt. But how can you be two persons at the same timer"
 "I am not two persons said he smiling ly taking her hand "I am, if you please, You know me by the latter name. May I hope, sir,' said he, addressing MT. Ram dolph, ''that you win know me by a nearer name than eiHher?"
 Mr. Randolph spoke not, but with tears in his eyes pressed the hand of Lord Egg linstone: and then placing the hand of Em- ma within his, Heaven bless your! he cried. "Noble youth! You have saved her life! She is yours!'
 An how soon Fmma's smiles returned.
 Pentonville smiled, too, as he folded her in his arms, and said :"May hope, dearest Emma that Lord Eglinstone will be as wei come to you?"
