Of course, he couldn’t know that he would be too sick to vacete the spot in the morning ; but it's all right. I, who have slept so often on the ground, don't mind camping on the floor now and then." Here 3 dozen voices interposed offering him a part or the whole of their rooms, but the good-natured captain declined them all saying ” he should do very well, and per. hnpa the young man would not be sick long.

So he read on again and then at last he found the name he sought, â€"WALTER MAMUALL. ‘ Thank God ! thank God 1’ he uttered faintly, and those who heard only the last word thought to themselves : ‘ I never knew the captain swore before.’ With a great effort he compelled himself to be calm, and when at lost he spoke none detected in his voice a. trace of the shock that name had given him, bringing back et once the gebled-roofed farm-house fer away, the maple tree where his neme was cut, the brown-haired wife,’ the stormy night when the wind rushed sobbing put the window where he stood and looked hil lost on her, the mother long since deed, end the father who believed him guilty, All this passed in rapid review before his mind, and then his thoughts came back to the present time. and centered themselves upon the restless, tossing form which. up in No. 40, had said to him . ‘ Do you know my father ?' ‘ What is it, captain 2‘ the landlord asked. ‘ Your face is white as paper.’ ‘I am thinking,’ and the captain spoke naturally, ‘ I am thinking that I will take care of that young man.
