take one that she believed would lead
her straight into the very innermost
circles of the highest English
aristocracy.
Alas! for the dream of an American
girl. What a honeymoon!
The wife, a girl who had been guard
ed all her life from any thing that
might mean sorrow or trouble. started
out full of confidence, believing that
she was adored for her charms alone,
and that her husband had an income
of ten thousand pounds a year.
What was in the captains mind may
only be guessed. Certain facts, how
ever, are known, and they, alas! make
guessing easy. The captain had but a
beggarly income of sixteen pounds a
month from an uncle. and SO heavily
was he in debt to his valet and his
brother officers that he didn't even have
that to claim as his own when he
started with his bride for a trip to the
Orient.
His wife, it is said, had some money,
and with the proper sort of confidence
that q wife naturally would have she
turned it over to her husband. His
habit of reckless extravaganza. and
perhaps his belief that there was more
to follow, made heavy inroads into it,
SO that by the time they started for
the Orient the husband began to get
very nervous about their letter of
credit.

one of Nathalie's friends has imagined
it. That poor child, trifle over TWEEN
ty, in the country of Honolulu with a
man who she believed adored her, was
suddenly informed that she'd better
cable for more money.
More money!" We can imagine the
eyes of wonder that she turned upon
her husband, blue eyes which he had
filled with the light of confidence.
