a certain good old lady, who had liven
her an education, the items of which
Connor told upon lis fingers. "Tin

So it wes-Nnrt at tbe dawn of dsv

breathless and pale with rxeiteaionl,
flung his cap in tbe air and tboutod.
It happened on a holiday afierooen,
sod half a dozen men were ready io
go with Connor to the steamer and
give his wif greeting. Her little
home wis retily; Mr. Dawn's own
servant had put it in order, and Con
nor t"ck oiio peep at it. before- he
started.
She badd't tbe like o' that io Ihe

Then be lead the way towards the

thronging up, tbo cabin passengers
wore eteppinu into cubs, and drivers,
porters, and all manner of employers
were yelling and shouting iu the usual
manner. Nora would wail oo board
fur her husband he knew that.
The liille group made their way in
to Ibo vessri at last, and there amidst

" Why doo'tyou too tbo ctptoin,"
asked one, nnd Conner jumped at the

"Iam looking for my wife, yer
