Eleanor nestisd in his arms with the
happy consciousness cf at last finding
the affection that righifally belonged to-
her.
Toward 1T. Vernon and his son the
admiral was exceedingly cordial. Is
well as grateful. He was one Of those
true noblemen and native gentlemen
who are as far above arrogance and
hsrghtiness as they are too dignifed for

Mr.. Vernon smiled at the noble-heart- I

Thank you again, my lord, for yonr
kind wish to aid us. I assure you, long /
ago, before your ship came, my son saw
the presumption Of his love for one so
Tar above his station, and wrestled with
himself until, if it was not suppressed.
