Appi mal by letter, to Guia Here was the third appearance of my advertisement, and the ‘desirable person had not yet presented herself. Worn out with interviewing ladies whose only qualification for the post seemed-to be a desire to proceed immediately to Australia, I was enjoying a , . téinporary rest A pile of notes on my right hand promised me ten more visitors for the afternoon; but, in the presence of the waiter who kad just provided me with a’ tempting luncheon, 1 had sworn to cease. from. my labors till that repast was fairly discussed. At my third mouthful however the man. reappeared. : “Another lady, sir; and she cannot wait.” “Let her wait, or go to: Jericho!’—‘Yes, sir; I'll tell her, sir.” » He left me; but conscience took all relisti from my repast. Visions of my little nieces growing up in the semi-savage state in which 1 had left them, while my apathy and greed let slip the very paragon of instructresses, proved at last too much for me; ‘and -T again summoned William, bidding him ask the lady for her name and address; He returned with a black-edged visitingeard. “ ‘May Somers’ Affectation to begin with!’ said L “Why can’t she put ‘Miss y . May Somers’?”’ : “A widow, sir,” William explained gently. “Young, William?’—“Middling young, ” e “Do you mean middle-aged, William?”’— e4 “Oh, dear, no, sir)” ; My rising hopés fell, for I remembered only too well my sister’s parting words— “Not old, Mark dear, but certainly. not young, or we shali have the expense of bringing her out here for nothing. She musn’t be pretty, because of all you young men; but she musn’t on any account be unattractive, because of the children.” tries might be devoted to the bon Dieu!’ i suggested, ‘ “Exactly, Mark,” agreed my still pretty sister—“in a word, find me some one whom you couldn’t fall in love with if you tried.” “At his age,” interposed my _ brother-inlaw pensively, ‘one sees so few women one couldn’t fall in love with if one tried.” “Remember, Mark,” added Emily severely, “the comfort of the house depends on the kind of person you send us.” 1 left her with a much elearer idea of what she did not want than of what she did, and the next day was on my way to Europe. My visit was to be a long one, and chiefly of a business character. . The affairs of our house needed fora time the presence of-a principal in London. 1 had given my word to Emily, to attend to. her commission first; but it seemed difficult-to~fultii-andT~ was on the point of giving it up in despair when William announced the “middling young” widow. A woman’s face must-be as ugly as sin to neutralize such a figure. She was looking outof the window as I entered, and the slight willowy movement with which she acknowledged my presence struck -me most agreeably. ‘This impression was mora than confirmed by her voice.

SWithitr the iast fortnight 1 had interviewed some thyrty ladiés of more or less attractive ‘appéarance; I had been stern and uncompromising with them, a very Daniel come to judgment. I can go farther—I can say that I had interviewed them with the eyes and with the heart of a woman seeking a governess. But to-day Emily’s questions—questions I was bound to ask and have answered —struck me as grossly impertinent. 1 have since thought that it was my visitor who asked the questions and I who answered them; at any rate, 1 gave her an agreeable impréssion of our part-of the world, fcr she cut short.my second happy monologue by saying— “We have discussed that side of thé “question. The situation will suit me; shail 1 suit it? If that paper have scen yeu refer answer them?” How gratefully I accepted her suggestion! She carried Emily’s memorandum to the window, whither—when . judged the silence had lasted long enough—I followed, “These things will be more’ satisfactory answered by my references,” she said, “Stay —what is this?” She turned over the paper, and . too leaned down to read what had hitherto escaped my. notice, The scrawl was this timé in my brother-in-law’s hand. It ran— : “16th July.—A woman with whom you could by no amount of trying fall in love.” “Mrs. Somers, I give you my word of honor I did not know that foolery was there!” “So I suppose,” she returned gently—so quietly that I was emboldened to add— “My brother-in-law enlivened with many small witticisms the very serious business of choosing a governess.” . “] understand,” she responded, adding, “But the serious part of the business alone concerns.us. Shalil give you my address? 1t is for the present that of the gentleman who will answer any questions you may like to ask.”’ She drew out another card, and under the “May Somers” wrote ‘“Keverend 8. Grey, Claydon Vicarage.” Inreturn I gave her the address of our London bankers. The gentle dignity with which she had helped us both out of an awkward position urged dv] mé toa more friendly farewell. “T think,” said 1, “that, if we come to terms, my little nieces will be fortunate. As we shall not meet again on this side of the globe, let,me wish you now a pleasant voyage. We shook hands and parted, having de1) cided that all further arrangements were to be made by letter.

As I stood on the steps of the hotel, a telegram was putintomy hand. It was from our head clerk, and it was brief and heartless, as such a communication always sounds, ~~ “Mr. Bradshaw found drowned. Beg your immediate return,” F My cab was at the door. By taking the train I had or ginally chosen, and by traveling day and night, 1 might join the Aurora. at Brindisi. : : How far poor Tom’s speculations had led him torisk our joint credit, whether 1 was the head of a flourishing firm or a bankrupt, whether L was Jeft legally as well as morally the gucrdian of Emily’s children, were matters on which the next few days gave me amie time fo speculate. It was not till I shook hands with Captain Hall on board the . Aurora that 1 remembered Mrs. Somers, “]’m glad you’ve come to look after that consignment yourself, Mr. Stretton,” he said, with a laugh; “if you hadn’t, lm afraid those poor children would never have seen their governess: We're a week out, and the story goes that every single man on board has proposed to her!’ “Mere want.of employment!” I responded lightip ‘They can’t'all marry her. You don’t know—how should you?y—what’s taking me out again so soon.” “Heaven bless me!” exclaimed the Captain, when I had told my news. “Business all straight?”’ A shrug was my only answer, and at that moment two ladies passed us; one was the Captain’s wife, a little beauty 1 had known years before, the other—— “Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?” Well, 1 do not quite mean that; but sure I am that I was looking at the loveliest figure and, tome, the sweetest face I had ever seen! “} can’t tell you how glad 1 am to see you, Mr. Stretton,” said ~Mrs. Hall, “for I’m chaperoning two girls, and never leave them for more than five minutes at a time, I'll fetch them up here while you and Mrs. Soniers renew your acquaintance. What a pleasant party we shall be now!’ ’ She hurried. away, and, of the two embarrassed people she left, Mrs. Somers -was’ the first to recover selfpossession. “You did not recognize me, Mr. Stretton.” ‘Till now you have not spoken, and in our one interview you gave me no chance to Fecognize anything but your voice.” She smiled, and in so doing showed, two white rows of teeth. Had I seen that sinile before, the many letters and the many stamps--wastedonthe Vicar of Claydon my existence upon her wisdom and virtue. There was, after all, something of: the face 1 had imagined under the crape veil. She had hazel eyesand rippling hair to match. If the complexion lacked color, that was atoned for by lips of the purest carmine. Theexpression of the face left nothing to be desired—at least in my eyes it was calm and clever, but with no want of animation. We seated olrselves in the corner indleated-by Mrs, Hall, and Mrs. Somers drew out her knitting, an occiipation T found sie was rarely without, _A wedding-ring of unusual thickness was the only ornament about her, and on this my eyes were. fixed till she became aware of my gaze; then the hazel eyes challenged mine in not altogether friendly fashion. “You altered you plans suddenly,’ she remarked, “Very,”’ I responded shortly, for I had n6 mind to acquaint her with the eauseof my sudden return; and, strange to say, . only saw the matter as it might affeet Mrs. Somers. If things were as I feared, Emiiy -could no more afford a governess at a hundred and fifty pounds than she could keep up her present establishment in other respécts. é “Mr. Stretton, you are repenting your selection,” she said lightly. “far from it,” 1 assured her, adding, “but, supposed,”’ ical smile. ; *Your requirements in that respect, as in others, were negative--1 was not to be over thirty; and indeed 1 am not over thirty. Did your sister. understand how little exacting you would be when she inttusted you with such a iiission?”’ This time her smile was exasperating. “However much my experience amuses you, ma’am, 1 must ask leave to think that 1 have fultilled my mission with the best—’ “I will not try to shake even your faith in your own penetration,” she interrupted quite seriously. HL chy She rose as Mrs. Hall ‘dna a gentleman came up to beg for some music. I did not fotow them, but stayed on deck to smoke, and think of my new acquaintance. What would Emily say to me? I had been but a few hours on board, and could already vouch for the truth of the Captain’s statement;the havoc Mrs. Somers was making was patent even to me. We hod our full complenieht of passenzers, but very few ladies, and these wereneither pretty noramusing. Mrs, Somers had it all her own way; and her way seemed to be to ignore a good. dgal of the attention lavished on her, She was gentle and dignified, but kept as close to the Captain’s wite as a girl in her first season; Me she honored with a shy confidence of which I was very proud. When I found how little she knew of the life to which she was going, I thought her faith in her own penetration at least equalled mine, As the days wore on, I wondered ‘more and more what manner of man was he who, winning such a woman for a wife, had left so heartwhole a widow. I had got into the habit of spending the greater part of the day at her side, for she was an intelligent talker, too speculative to be pedantic, and a sympathetic listener; for such a woman one could have a true passion ora true friendship, 1 already enjoyed the one and ignored the proximity of the other, for my prejudice against widows remained in full foree, and was even strengthened by a conversation. 1 overheard between the Captain’s wife and Mrs, Somers. “What is any second husband but @ plialler?” said the last-named lady, in the light energetic tone . knew so well. “Tam sorry to hear-thit you and Mr. Stretton agree on that matier,” responded the other; “but perhaps his prejudice against widows is dying out,”’ “Lcan’t say; 1 did not know that he had one.” “Prejudice!” went on Mrs. Hall. “I may call it a ‘tixed idea.’ He once told me no amount of love could delude lim into marrying a woman who but for an accident would be living with gome one else.” Mrs. Somers broke into one of her rare laughs, ene “He must marry a French girl, one to whom he may teach everything; for some men the blank page has great charms.” “Not for him,” Mrs Hall declared. ‘Fancy a man who talks so much and so well shut up with an ingenue!” ; “Weill,” said Mrs, Somers, “the ingenue would soon learn to receive her husband’s tirades with ‘“I'his is the Catholic faith, which except a man believe faithfully, he eannot be saved.’ As itis, 1 always expect Mr, Stretton to conclude his own remarks with that formula,” ; An involuntary movement on my. part caused her to look round. She saw at once that [ had beneiited by her remarks, frankly, you are a goud deal younger than I} She smiled again, an amused, rather iron. r-woult have been saved; I-weuld have staked. . . — “Je me sauvel!”’ murmured the Captain’s ee “And 1 will stand by what 1 have sala,’ laughed Mrs. Somers. “I can’t even apologize, for I should.have said the same if you had been before instead of behind me; yo “I'm afraid my air of conviction must often have wearied you,”’/I returned, feeling both humbled and annoyed. : “Honestly not,” she assured me. “Had you--a—lesstrustworthy way —of— putting, things, you’ know, I should not be‘here now,” She heiiiolit her hand, the sweet eyes met mine, and for the hundredth time I was on the point of telling her that the home I had induced her to seek was broken up; but, even as I hesitated, she was gone, and five minutes afterwards I heard her playing Schumann’s “Schlummerlied,” and, tmterpreted by her, it became the most ravishing of love-songs. ¢ At Aden we parted with: Mrs. Hall and her charges; and henceforth*my days were spent at Mrs. Somer’s side. As the sculptor fitids his ideal prisoned in the marble, so I do not know to this day whether May Somers did create or satisfy my ideal. She was @ Woman whose eyes spoke as freely as her tongue; they warmed to her subject, never to me; nor could I flatter myself that my comings and goings had ever once changed the cream-like tint of her face. Alas for me, [ had studied this woman— “The face of her, the eyes of her, the chin The little stir of shadow round the mouth.” —till I was tortured by a retrospective jealousy of the man to whom ail these charms had once belonged! Ande still my ideal ofa proper, marriage remained the same—the woman who should be my wife must have waited for me as 1 for her, “the -one,’ only one in the world for me.” The voyage, which I would have prolonged indetinitely, drew to a close; it had been unusually speedy and prosperous, and there was a little civilly-expressed regret among the passengers on hearing at table that we should land within twenty-four hours, . The general feeling however was one of. satisfaction and relief. As I looked rount upon the pleased excited faces turnei io Captain Hall, my eyes met Mrs. Somer’s. Neither could ignore what each read tn thie other’s glance, and, within five minutes of the ladies’ rising, 1 followed her on deck. She was walking away from the corner generally left us by common consent, intending, [ found, to take shelter under the wing of the veriest old gossip on board. She let me join her, and Lip return waited tall we were within a few feet of her goal before I said suddenly— “Mrs, Somers, you never asked me why I took this ship; you are, 1 know, the least curious of women.” : + “Not so,” she replied; “but my. own affairs have occupied me to the exclusion of other people's.” “Well, 1 must ask you to listen to mine for five minutes,” I said. We turned back to our corner, and I lingered over the little precautions for her comfort which had become my privilege. The warmer color on cheeks and brow as she thanked me was rather a reflection of the passion in my eyes than any feeling of her own. If I could not flatter myself that she loved me, at least L recognized a novice in the art.

Appi mal by letter, to Guia Here was the third appearance of my advertisement, and the ‘desirable person had not yet presented herself. Worn out with interviewing ladies whose only qualification for the post seemed-to be a desire to proceed immediately to Australia, I was enjoying a , . téinporary rest A pile of notes on my right hand promised me ten more visitors for the afternoon; but, in the presence of the waiter who kad just provided me with a’ tempting luncheon, 1 had sworn to cease. from. my labors till that repast was fairly discussed. At my third mouthful however the man. reappeared. : “Another lady, sir; and she cannot wait.” “Let her wait, or go to: Jericho!’—‘Yes, sir; I'll tell her, sir.” » He left me; but conscience took all relisti from my repast. Visions of my little nieces growing up in the semi-savage state in which 1 had left them, while my apathy and greed let slip the very paragon of instructresses, proved at last too much for me; ‘and -T again summoned William, bidding him ask the lady for her name and address; He returned with a black-edged visitingeard. “ ‘May Somers’ Affectation to begin with!’ said L “Why can’t she put ‘Miss y . May Somers’?”’ : “A widow, sir,” William explained gently. “Young, William?’—“Middling young, ” e “Do you mean middle-aged, William?”’— e4 “Oh, dear, no, sir)” ; My rising hopés fell, for I remembered only too well my sister’s parting words— “Not old, Mark dear, but certainly. not young, or we shali have the expense of bringing her out here for nothing. She musn’t be pretty, because of all you young men; but she musn’t on any account be unattractive, because of the children.” tries might be devoted to the bon Dieu!’ i suggested, ‘ “Exactly, Mark,” agreed my still pretty sister—“in a word, find me some one whom you couldn’t fall in love with if you tried.” “At his age,” interposed my _ brother-inlaw pensively, ‘one sees so few women one couldn’t fall in love with if one tried.” “Remember, Mark,” added Emily severely, “the comfort of the house depends on the kind of person you send us.” 1 left her with a much elearer idea of what she did not want than of what she did, and the next day was on my way to Europe. My visit was to be a long one, and chiefly of a business character. . The affairs of our house needed fora time the presence of-a principal in London. 1 had given my word to Emily, to attend to. her commission first; but it seemed difficult-to~fultii-andT~ was on the point of giving it up in despair when William announced the “middling young” widow. A woman’s face must-be as ugly as sin to neutralize such a figure. She was looking outof the window as I entered, and the slight willowy movement with which she acknowledged my presence struck -me most agreeably. ‘This impression was mora than confirmed by her voice.

I can go farther—I can say that I had interviewed them with the eyes and with the heart of a woman seeking a governess. But to-day Emily’s questions—questions I was bound to ask and have answered —struck me as grossly impertinent. 1 have since thought that it was my visitor who asked the questions and I who answered them; at any rate, 1 gave her an agreeable impréssion of our part-of the world, fcr she cut short.my second happy monologue by saying— “We have discussed that side of thé “question. The situation will suit me; shail 1 suit it? If that paper have scen yeu refer answer them?” How gratefully I accepted her suggestion! She carried Emily’s memorandum to the window, whither—when . judged the silence had lasted long enough—I followed, “These things will be more’ satisfactory answered by my references,” she said, “Stay —what is this?” She turned over the paper, and . too leaned down to read what had hitherto escaped my. notice, The scrawl was this timé in my brother-in-law’s hand. It ran— : “16th July.—A woman with whom you could by no amount of trying fall in love.” “Mrs. Somers, I give you my word of honor I did not know that foolery was there!” “So I suppose,” she returned gently—so quietly that I was emboldened to add— “My brother-in-law enlivened with many small witticisms the very serious business of choosing a governess.” . “] understand,” she responded, adding, “But the serious part of the business alone concerns.us. Shalil give you my address? 1t is for the present that of the gentleman who will answer any questions you may like to ask.”’ She drew out another card, and under the “May Somers” wrote ‘“Keverend 8. Grey, Claydon Vicarage.” Inreturn I gave her the address of our London bankers. The gentle dignity with which she had helped us both out of an awkward position urged dv] mé toa more friendly farewell. “T think,” said 1, “that, if we come to terms, my little nieces will be fortunate. As we shall not meet again on this side of the globe, let,me wish you now a pleasant voyage. We shook hands and parted, having de1) cided that all further arrangements were to be made by letter.

A few days later I was leaving London for Paris, where I intended to take a few days well-earned rest before going south. As I stood on the steps of the hotel, a telegram was putintomy hand. It was from our head clerk, and it was brief and heartless, as such a communication always sounds, ~~ “Mr. Bradshaw found drowned. Beg your immediate return,” F My cab was at the door. By taking the train I had or ginally chosen, and by traveling day and night, 1 might join the Aurora. at Brindisi. : : How far poor Tom’s speculations had led him torisk our joint credit, whether 1 was the head of a flourishing firm or a bankrupt, whether L was Jeft legally as well as morally the gucrdian of Emily’s children, were matters on which the next few days gave me amie time fo speculate. It was not till I shook hands with Captain Hall on board the . Aurora that 1 remembered Mrs. Somers, “]’m glad you’ve come to look after that consignment yourself, Mr. Stretton,” he said, with a laugh; “if you hadn’t, lm afraid those poor children would never have seen their governess: We're a week out, and the story goes that every single man on board has proposed to her!’ “Mere want.of employment!” I responded lightip ‘They can’t'all marry her. You don’t know—how should you?y—what’s taking me out again so soon.” “Heaven bless me!” exclaimed the Captain, when I had told my news. “Business all straight?”’ A shrug was my only answer, and at that moment two ladies passed us; one was the Captain’s wife, a little beauty 1 had known years before, the other—— “Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?” Well, 1 do not quite mean that; but sure I am that I was looking at the loveliest figure and, tome, the sweetest face I had ever seen! “} can’t tell you how glad 1 am to see you, Mr. Stretton,” said ~Mrs. Hall, “for I’m chaperoning two girls, and never leave them for more than five minutes at a time, I'll fetch them up here while you and Mrs. Soniers renew your acquaintance. What a pleasant party we shall be now!’ ’ She hurried. away, and, of the two embarrassed people she left, Mrs. Somers -was’ the first to recover selfpossession. “You did not recognize me, Mr. Stretton.” ‘Till now you have not spoken, and in our one interview you gave me no chance to Fecognize anything but your voice.” She smiled, and in so doing showed, two white rows of teeth. Had I seen that sinile before, the many letters and the many stamps--wastedonthe Vicar of Claydon my existence upon her wisdom and virtue. There was, after all, something of: the face 1 had imagined under the crape veil. She had hazel eyesand rippling hair to match. If the complexion lacked color, that was atoned for by lips of the purest carmine. Theexpression of the face left nothing to be desired—at least in my eyes it was calm and clever, but with no want of animation. We seated olrselves in the corner indleated-by Mrs, Hall, and Mrs. Somers drew out her knitting, an occiipation T found sie was rarely without, _A wedding-ring of unusual thickness was the only ornament about her, and on this my eyes were. fixed till she became aware of my gaze; then the hazel eyes challenged mine in not altogether friendly fashion. “You altered you plans suddenly,’ she remarked, “Very,”’ I responded shortly, for I had n6 mind to acquaint her with the eauseof my sudden return; and, strange to say, . only saw the matter as it might affeet Mrs. Somers. If things were as I feared, Emiiy -could no more afford a governess at a hundred and fifty pounds than she could keep up her present establishment in other respécts. é “Mr. Stretton, you are repenting your selection,” she said lightly. “far from it,” 1 assured her, adding, “but, supposed,”’ ical smile. ; *Your requirements in that respect, as in others, were negative--1 was not to be over thirty; and indeed 1 am not over thirty. Did your sister. understand how little exacting you would be when she inttusted you with such a iiission?”’ This time her smile was exasperating. “However much my experience amuses you, ma’am, 1 must ask leave to think that 1 have fultilled my mission with the best—’ “I will not try to shake even your faith in your own penetration,” she interrupted quite seriously. HL chy She rose as Mrs. Hall ‘dna a gentleman came up to beg for some music. I did not fotow them, but stayed on deck to smoke, and think of my new acquaintance. What would Emily say to me? I had been but a few hours on board, and could already vouch for the truth of the Captain’s statement;the havoc Mrs. Somers was making was patent even to me. We hod our full complenieht of passenzers, but very few ladies, and these wereneither pretty noramusing. Mrs, Somers had it all her own way; and her way seemed to be to ignore a good. dgal of the attention lavished on her, She was gentle and dignified, but kept as close to the Captain’s wite as a girl in her first season; Me she honored with a shy confidence of which I was very proud. When I found how little she knew of the life to which she was going, I thought her faith in her own penetration at least equalled mine, As the days wore on, I wondered ‘more and more what manner of man was he who, winning such a woman for a wife, had left so heartwhole a widow. I had got into the habit of spending the greater part of the day at her side, for she was an intelligent talker, too speculative to be pedantic, and a sympathetic listener; for such a woman one could have a true passion ora true friendship, 1 already enjoyed the one and ignored the proximity of the other, for my prejudice against widows remained in full foree, and was even strengthened by a conversation. 1 overheard between the Captain’s wife and Mrs, Somers. “What is any second husband but @ plialler?” said the last-named lady, in the light energetic tone . knew so well. “Tam sorry to hear-thit you and Mr. Stretton agree on that matier,” responded the other; “but perhaps his prejudice against widows is dying out,”’ “Lcan’t say; 1 did not know that he had one.” “Prejudice!” went on Mrs. Hall. “I may call it a ‘tixed idea.’ He once told me no amount of love could delude lim into marrying a woman who but for an accident would be living with gome one else.” Mrs. Somers broke into one of her rare laughs, ene “He must marry a French girl, one to whom he may teach everything; for some men the blank page has great charms.” “Not for him,” Mrs Hall declared. ‘Fancy a man who talks so much and so well shut up with an ingenue!” ; “Weill,” said Mrs, Somers, “the ingenue would soon learn to receive her husband’s tirades with ‘“I'his is the Catholic faith, which except a man believe faithfully, he eannot be saved.’ As itis, 1 always expect Mr, Stretton to conclude his own remarks with that formula,” ; An involuntary movement on my. part caused her to look round. She saw at once that [ had beneiited by her remarks, frankly, you are a goud deal younger than I} She smiled again, an amused, rather iron. r-woult have been saved; I-weuld have staked. . . — “Je me sauvel!”’ murmured the Captain’s ee “And 1 will stand by what 1 have sala,’ laughed Mrs. Somers. “I can’t even apologize, for I should.have said the same if you had been before instead of behind me; yo “I'm afraid my air of conviction must often have wearied you,”’/I returned, feeling both humbled and annoyed. : “Honestly not,” she assured me. “Had you--a—lesstrustworthy way —of— putting, things, you’ know, I should not be‘here now,” She heiiiolit her hand, the sweet eyes met mine, and for the hundredth time I was on the point of telling her that the home I had induced her to seek was broken up; but, even as I hesitated, she was gone, and five minutes afterwards I heard her playing Schumann’s “Schlummerlied,” and, tmterpreted by her, it became the most ravishing of love-songs. ¢ At Aden we parted with: Mrs. Hall and her charges; and henceforth*my days were spent at Mrs. Somer’s side. As the sculptor fitids his ideal prisoned in the marble, so I do not know to this day whether May Somers did create or satisfy my ideal. She was @ Woman whose eyes spoke as freely as her tongue; they warmed to her subject, never to me; nor could I flatter myself that my comings and goings had ever once changed the cream-like tint of her face. Alas for me, [ had studied this woman— “The face of her, the eyes of her, the chin The little stir of shadow round the mouth.” —till I was tortured by a retrospective jealousy of the man to whom ail these charms had once belonged! Ande still my ideal ofa proper, marriage remained the same—the woman who should be my wife must have waited for me as 1 for her, “the -one,’ only one in the world for me.” The voyage, which I would have prolonged indetinitely, drew to a close; it had been unusually speedy and prosperous, and there was a little civilly-expressed regret among the passengers on hearing at table that we should land within twenty-four hours, . The general feeling however was one of. satisfaction and relief. As I looked rount upon the pleased excited faces turnei io Captain Hall, my eyes met Mrs. Somer’s. Neither could ignore what each read tn thie other’s glance, and, within five minutes of the ladies’ rising, 1 followed her on deck. She was walking away from the corner generally left us by common consent, intending, [ found, to take shelter under the wing of the veriest old gossip on board. She let me join her, and Lip return waited tall we were within a few feet of her goal before I said suddenly— “Mrs, Somers, you never asked me why I took this ship; you are, 1 know, the least curious of women.” : + “Not so,” she replied; “but my. own affairs have occupied me to the exclusion of other people's.” “Well, 1 must ask you to listen to mine for five minutes,” I said. We turned back to our corner, and I lingered over the little precautions for her comfort which had become my privilege.
