would roam no more.
I've brought enough money to take
care Of US the rest of our days" he said
to the astonished woman, and I've had
enough adventure I'm ready to settI1
down to a quiet life"
At first his wife did not recognize Nc
Grath, but when she knew it was the
husband who had gone away so long be-
fore she threw herself into his arms. She
had heard from him occasionally during
his absence and had answered his letters
The last letter she received from him was
three years ago, from san Francisco,
just before MCGrath left for the Ki0n-
dixie.
McGTath is now seventy years old but
/ looks much younger. His outdoor life has
! tanned his cheeks and made him hardy.
My husband started for the West to
seek his fortune in the spring OF 1872. "
Mrs. McGrath said yesterday. I an sure
he then had no idea of rematE<lg away
so long IEc told me he was not going to
return until he had made q fortune, but
/ he calculated that this proceeding would
not require more than few years.

Later he wrote that he had invested

and had nearly died from privation while

Tt was five years later when his next

for Europe on the City of Rome to meet
the man who found the message and per
sons in SmoIen, Norway. with whom she
has been in correspondence through the
finding of tbs bottle
Little did Miss Griffith think when
crossing from Europe nine years ago she
threw a bottle containing a message into
mid-oceau that she would ever again hear
from the bit Of paper On it was writ
ten her name and address and a promise
to pay s. to the finder If the note were
returned TO her
The incident had gone out of Miss
CrifHths mind when a month ago there
came letter from Mrs. Ada Z. RodtEer,
wife of the Master of the University of
SnoIen. The letter enclosed the mes
sage from the sea. and Il short note from
Mrs BOdtker. saying that the bottle had
been found off the coast of Norway by a
poor fisherman. Not being able to read
English he had carried the message to
Mrs. BodtEer.

bottle Miss Griffith sent 8 instead of the
9 promised Ine money arrived at q
time when the fisherman was III and in
want
Then came correspondence between Miss
Griffith and Mrs Bodtker- Some days
ago Miss Griffith received the following
letter from Mrs. BOdtker-

your acquaintance, so I hope you will
let me know if you think of a tour of
Norway at any time Perhaps you could
take in our little town en- route It lies
very conveniently for the tourists route
II would be Il suitable and charming end
to the story Of your message from the
sea to make the acquaintance of those
whom it reached after its long journey"
Miss GrifHths mind was made up at
once. She had been looking forward to
Eaing to Europe. and the invitation so
strangely brought about was quickly &C
copied. She viii be in Norway one month.
The message which now prompts the
trip TO Norway was thrown from a steam
ship in September. 1882. Miss Griffith. who
is the daughter of Thomas W Griffith, a
prominent insurance man Of Newark. was
travelling with a party IN the party was
