 After reciting the circumstances. he went on
 You see. hadn't Mir. Van Vecht. ems faith. l had never seen you. and appearances were all against you. I might say the odds were against the correctness of his estimate-in which case ] meant to show him these words"
 Jessie was breathing fast; her eyes were very bright and their regard wac very steady.

 What otherwise could Paige and Jessie think? Here was an argu- ment that even a woman could not successfully oppose. And SO, the next day, the Kohinur weighed anchor. dropped down the river and by sun set had lost the Statue of Liberty be- hind her.
