OR the' last 'day of August his father was well enough to •bo up and dressed most of the afternoon. George began to read the beloved Boston papers, but Mr Houghton soon said, " That will do, Pm inno mood for dog -day politics. Go off and amuse yourself, as long as you don't go near the harbor." " I've no wish to go out, father. When the sun is low I'll take a tramp of a mile or two." " In a week or so more I think I'll he able to travel, George." " I hope so." " I fear you don't wish to leave Charleston." " I wish to do what is best for your health." Then a long silence followed, each busy with his own t3oughts.

When alone with George the physician would add, " You see how it is, my young fiend. Your father is in that feeble, wavering state of mind and body that we must mate it all clear sailing for him. Even it he asks for what is impossible We must appear to gratify him. Any- ithing which disturbs his mind will be injurious to his physical health." Georgia could not but admit the truth of the words, and he manfully faced his duty, holing that the future still had possibilities. After getting some nhueh•needed sleep the day following his escape, Le wrote :— " 11Iv DEAIt CAPTAIN BODINE,— If I -had known you better your --"letter would -nut-have been sueb an agreeable surprise.

With much respect, 1 aro "Gratefully yours, " GEORGE HOUGHTON." When Ella's physician came the following day, he found his patient no much better that he could not account for it until he had heard the glad news. The healthful, elastic nature of the young girl sallied swiftly. George's second letter was handed her to read, and she kept it. tieing clever with her pencil, she made a ludicrous carica- ture of the colored boatman caught in a gale with a wheelbarrow. I -ler senile was glad now, for hope grew stronger every moment. Her right to love was now unquestioned, and even her proud father and cousin had only words of respect and ad- miration for the lover who, in a few brief moments, had vindicated the manhood which she bad recognized in the first moments of their chance encounter. . She could not believe that Mr Moughton would remain obdurate when he recovered sufficiently to think the matter over calmly. "Our papas," she thought, with a little sigh ar d a smile, "have learner} that burying their children is a rather serious, matter after all." When two or three days passed, 3,owever, and no further communi- cation had been received from George, ber father thought it wise to .say a few words of caution.

On one thing, how- ever, he' was resolved upon. In carrying out his father's wishes he would draw the line at an ambi- tious alliance at the North.
