INSTRUCTION

The digniied man who was not used
to girls was imprisoned in a corner
with one who had mischief lurking
behind the innocence of her eyes. He
felt vaguely uncomfortable as he
gaZed at her, because he could think
of nothing to talk about that would in
terest her. She saved him the
plunge.

began, that I've been dying to have a
good talk with you for ever SO long?"
"Th-that's very kind of you, I'm

The pretty girl looked blank for an

Ever SO many things" she said airly.
You'd be surprised to find what a lot
of topics of conversation I'm interest

Did you ever?
The man who was not used to girls
shifted his feet. He wished she would
not keep her eyes fastened on him. II

See here,' said the man, leaning
forward in his earnestness. Really
you're wrong! l don't like to intrude
where I'm not wanted and the girls

JOHN WooDvIL.
WHEN day broke upon the drowsy
burghers Of st. Mary's, on the
morning after the prize play, the
Olive Branch was no longer to be
seen in the river. Such o sudden
departure OF so important a portion
OF the commercial marine of the
port, produced no small degree of
speculation amongst the waking
citizens as, by degrees, after sun
rise, they began to rub their eyes
and look abroad. This speculation
became still more intense when, in
Q few hours, they saw files of sold
iers passing through the town, and
heard, Immediately afterwards, the
rumor Of the arrest of Coode and
his compatriots. Still more was it
excited by a report which was
early brought TO town from the
Rose Croft. that the broad arrow
the mysterious presignifcation OF
mischief, a mark by which q sus-
pected person was prescribed. or a
devoted one forewarned-had been
found deeply scratched, as with
the point OF dagger, on the Collec-
tors door. An unusual stir and
buzz Of murmured wonder prevailed
through the little city. and every
body was on foot TO learn the cause
Of these phenomena. By some it
was said that the skipper had gone
on a trading excursion up the bay
TO Kent Island, as it was his Gus
tom to do. Those in the secret of
the last nights conspiracy had no
difficulty in ascribing his depart
ure TO movements connected with
the plot; the broad arrow on the
Collectors door was easily account
ed for by such as were aware of
Cocklescraft's midnight ride on
Godfrey's horse; and, on all sides,
expectation was raised into silent
dread OF some eruption that was to
break forth, in amoment when none
might be aware of il, and from q
quarter 10 which few night look.
The council was convened at the
Proprietary mansion, and there the
emergency was gravely debated and
the most energetic measures OF pre-.
caution and defence adopted. The
escape Of Cocklescraft, connected
with his recent quarrel with the
Secretary, and the disclosure made
by Abbot Of his concurrence In the
plot OF the conspirators, left no
doubt OF his treachery. The out.
break was rendered more formid-
able by its coincidence in point of
time with the contemplated incur
sion of the Northern Indians, as re-
lated by the travelling doctor-a
circumstance that seemed TO infer
correspondence between the leaders
of che conspiracy and the savsgas.

part Of the council, was added q

 Selling of the December delivery by cash interests caused weakness in the corn market
