but no longer lived.in that city. ' He had, before he was
forty years of age, retired to a splendid estate on both :
sides of a small creek that operod into a lovely bay. A
green and high bluff stood on the southern side,of the
bight, covered with low trees aid bushes. and lon the
sides and all .around by wood. At the foot of the cliff
Bischoff built his house. It wu s perfect model of neat

rare gusto, though he had almost worn it out.• and it was
at length nearly two years old.' Bat until anuthbr came

these days no one, especially Dutchmen. were aver in

beer with equal respect for fire interior mechanism of
his stomach. Then he made a glass of punch, and in
floe weather went down to the port of New Rotterdam,
as his estate was called. We said the pat. - This re

The Dutchman's garden went right down to the edge
of the water. It hid,been chosan for the purpose where
the bank was high and steep.ined a very decent quay bad
been knocked up with a few cedar piles driven into the
water. and a number or plank, laid down from them to

But Andrew Brock was even ashore jog-trot Dutchman

himself. or even to - be behind-bind, when hl could help
it. He could not bit induced to undrstaid why wind and
tides should ever vary, or at all events should not be per
fectly regular in their-,variations. And yet, if the wind
was against him. Andrew took it quietly. He was not
like an English madcap of •a sailor. going to bother-him

'schooner brought a Dutch paper, which delighted the
heart of the owner of Rotterdam for montim, yea, even
for years. A whole week did it take Andrew Brock to
load and unload, with the assistance of his crew and the
well-fed negroes of the establishment. But Hein H er
never grumbled. lie had some one to drink with hire,

Before a week the memory .f the winsome wail", the

around. His pipe dropped from his month and almost
out of his hand as he saw twe sehooners headed for the
port of New Rotterdam. at the usual distance. They
were so exactly alike that Peter was puzzled to know
which was which. What could this mean? There Was
some mystery abort the matter. There was., he
. was
sure, going to be trouble and vexation and his equanimity
would surely be disturbed.
"That it shonkl happen on this very first of May 17—,"

down upon his arm-chair in deep thought. Iris unlit

untouched. He could disungisish something ou the deck
of Andrew Brook's schooner which made his heart leap.
It was 'a figure which carried him beck 16 yews., It was
