New Buda.

New Buda is the grand old place;
When it comes to raising the pro-
ducts
She always leads the race.
Plenty of old bachelors she does pos.
sess,
There is no locality has any less.
Some old maids, too,
But every one knows is true.
The big ears of corn she does raise,
Enough for her to deserve praise.
On the banks of the Grand some lies,
It's fertile soil, assist the corn with
the prize.
Oh, the fine stock, she is grand.
The very best is always the brand.
She has the excellent roads,
Where any one can go with their
loads.
Through the north the Waubonsie
and Interstate do pass,
Where the big autos travel very fast
AS everyone knows the rest,
From east to west,
She is the best.

CHAPTER XIX.

The wanderer had come upon Mrs.
Prynne but once since he had board
ed the Panjnab. That morning, him
self early astir because of his vague
misgivings, he had discovered her on
the hurricane deck of the liner; an In
conspicuous, slight figure In the shad-
ow Of a llfe-boat, leaning upon the
rail and gazing with Che fanciedD
troubled eyes, out and across the
waste below Ismalia.
Though she must have been con-
scious Of nearing footsteps, she had
not stirred, and he had passed on,
gaining but a fugitive glimpse of a
profile sweetly serious; nor had she
appeared either at breakfast or lunch
con. A circumstance which led him
to surmise that she did not court OBJ
servation: an idiosyncrasy which
seemed passing strange in a woman
so fair.
He told himself that she wore an
air Of watchfulness. of vague expec-
fancy, as though she, like himself,
feared some untoward mishap; that
she had the manner of one definitely
apprehensive, constantly on guard
against some unforeseen peril

It be? What threatened herr And
why?

pleasure Of her acquaintance, relying
in the rapid intimacy that springs up
between strangers on a long voyage.
