4L404 1M SOM. 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.
At last Mr Houghton said, " It's

" Yes, Mr Houghton," 1)r Devoe
"ould answer, " all 'your wishes
shall be carried out ;" and this as-
surance would pacify the old man
for a time.
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,—

agreeable surprise. Please do Ino the
favor not to over-estimate my dim t
for you and those with you—an
effort which any man would have

much a cause for gratitude in my
own case as in yours. Please pre-
sent wy compliments to the ladies,
and exprers my hope that they suf-
fered no ill effects from their hasty
exchange of boats. I trust that the
stupid boatman, who was to blame
'or your disaster, will not attempt'
to navigate anything more compli-
cated thaft a wheelbarrow hereafter.

"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. "Ella
Ile began, "You ave now strong
•enough to look at this matter in
all its bearings. Young Mr Hough-
ton 1 robably finds that his father is

time for many second thoughts,
and--"
"Papa," said the girl with a re-
proachful glance„ "you have nut

neither 'yon. nor any ono else to

have no further cowmnnication
with captain Bodine, and not to do
anything which, if it came to his
father's knowledge, wonld retard
his recovery. 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. "Since
T have conquered captain Bodine,"
he muttered, with a little resolute
nod of his head, ''I will subdue my
