CHAPTER II.
The Spitfre

IN the opinion of at least character connected
with this story it is difficult to say whether the
chapter heading should apply to the girl the
yacht; but. in Difference to the lady as yet barely
introduced to us, suppose we call it the yacht
The yacht, then, called the Spitfre, and at
three o'clock of pleasant September afternoon
she tugged gently at her anchor chain in the port
of Calais, ten cable lengths from the lighthouse

Whereupon she took his

FIRST AMERICAN GLASS.
Made at Factory Built by Boston
Man in New Hampshire Town.

Made at a Factory Built by a Boston
Man in New Hampshire Town.
The first American glass factory
was erected in the town of Temple,
N. H. Washington, in his diary,
speaks of glass being made in New
Haven, Conn.,. IN the year 1889.
One would suppose by the language
he uses that he considers it a new
and quite extraordinary affair. 1t
was nine years previous to this, and
during the very war whose issue first
enabled the country to commence it's
own manufacturing, that Robert
Hewes of Boston began to carry out
the project which he had long con-
ceived, but had hitherto found imprac-
ticable, If not impossible, under Eng
lish rule-that of making glass in
America for America.
In 1880 Mr.. Hewes selected a site
for his factory secure from the British
forces (his glassblowers were Hes
SLAMS and Waldeckers-soldiers who
had deserted from the British army,

''If you have anything to do with

Vinol contains in a highly con

seating oil eliminated and tonic iron
