Captain Nibletts, slowly pacing along and smoking his pipé in the serenity of the evening, felt these things dimly. His gaze wandered from a shadowy barge crawling along in mid-channel, to the cheery red blind of the "Boatman's Arms," and then to the road in search of Captain Barber, for whom he had been inquiring since the morning. A stout lady, stricken in years, sat on a seat overlooking the river, and the mariner, with a courteous salutation, besought her assistance. moment I get to bed I'm run arter," continued the hapless Barber. "Mrs. Church won't let me go out of 'er sight if she can help it, and Mrs. Banks is as bad as she is. While they was saying nice things to each other this morning in a nasty way I managed to slip out." "Well, why not get rid o' Mrs. Church?" said the simple Nibletts, "Rid o' Mrs. Church!" repeated Cap- tain Barber, aghast; "why don't you ed, by way of comparison merely.

"But have you promised to marry her?" asked Nibletts, with a cunning look, i \ daughter, too." a Captain Barber coughed, and, sit- ting upright, strove to look unconcern- ed as the three ladies came into the room and expressed their pleasure at seeing him. "T couldn't think what 'ad happened to you," said Mrs. Banks, as she sank panting into a chair, and, unfastening her bonnet-strings, sat regarding him with her hands on her knees. "T knew he was all right," said Mrs, Church, folding her hands and regard-} ing him with her head on one side; "if anything happened to him I should | know it if he was a hundred miles away." | She sat down by Captain Barber, 'and laying her hand upon his press- 'ed it affectionately. The Captain, a picture of misery, exchanged a significant glance with Nibletts, and emitted an involuntary groan. "Don't take on so," said Mrs. Banks, compassionately. "Do you know, I've got a feeling that poor Fred has been saved. "That's my feeling, too," said Cap- tain Barber, in a firm voice. _ "It's very likely," said Captain Nibletts, slowly. "What's easier than for him to have been picked up by a passing ves- sel, and carried off goodness knows where?" inquired Mrs. Banks, with a glance evenly distributed between her daughter and the housekeeper. "T heard of a man once who fell overboard," said Captain Nibletts, softly, "and he turned up safe and sound twenty years arter." "Married man?" inquired Miss Banks, softly. "He was," said the captain with |the doggedness of a witness under cross-examination. Mrs. Church turned her eyes up- | wards. "Fancy the joyful meeting of husband and wife," she said, senti- mentally. "She died just two days before he turned up," said Captain Nibletts, simply. There was a frigid silence, during which the three ladies, sinking for a | time their differences, eyed him with | every sign of strong disapprobation, Mrs. Banks giving vent to a sniff which disparaged the whole race of man. ; "As for men who fall overboard and 'get picked up and turn up months afterwards," continued the faithful Nibletts, "why, every sailorman knows | scores of 'em." "T knowed seven," said Captain Barber, with the exactness of un- truth. "They didn't seem to think much of it, didn't seem to think it | anything unusual, I mean." | "It ain't," said Nibletts, stoutly. | The room relapsed into silence, and ' Captain Nibletts, finding Mrs. ,Church's gaze somewhat trying, got |up to admire a beautiful oil painting }on glass in a black frame which hung ;over the mantelpiece, and after a ifew encomiums on his host's taste, ; bade hm good-bye. "I'm coming with you," said Barber, rising; "I've got some business to talk about." | "What, out again," said Mrs, | Church, tenderly, "after being on your poor feet all day?" Captain Barber murmured' some- thing inaudible in reply, and taking ,his hat from the sideboard went out 'with Nibletts. For a time they trudged along in silence until the lat- | ter, who wanted to go to his own home, ventured to ask where they i were going. (To be continued). ---- Breaking It Easy.

The splitting is accomplished by the aid of a pneu- matic tool consisting of two knives set at an angle of about seventy-five degrees to each other, and to which presents is applied at the rate of 8,- 000 pounds a square inch. It is the custom that when the car- bon is too large to be set into a drill without splitting, the buyer and the seller divide the risk in the splitting of the stone into pieces small enough for practical use. A maximum figure is agreed upon, which is to be paid for the diamond if it proves to be solid and splits according to expcetations; if the splitting is not successful and the diamond shows a defective in- terior then only a fractional part of the maximum price is paid.
