I was advised to go to a doctor who was a specialist in skin diseases, but I I tried received very little relief. every known remedy, with the same results.

We talked much of you." "Is that so?" asked the other matron. "Did he seem sorry when you told him of my second marriage?" "Indeed, he did; and said so most A frankly!" "Honest?" "Honest!

As soon as he was out of the room, Giles sent for pen and paper, and with the most painful effort, guiding his right hand by his left, managed to indite the following epistle to Cat. Overton: Pheenix "Dear Sir: Inn, Portsmouth, Friday. "This is to inform you that I met with a most unfortnlt axerdent while corning down on the coach. My Mead and messmate, the Infant admiral which you saw with me, had read the story of Gehu in tlie Bible or Ilomar, I forget which, and aspired to drive four horses. Which he did, with the result that my right arm was rentehed out of place, and the rascally doctor who sett it says I cannot use it for some days. This is most unfortnlt, as It delays the pleasure we antisslpated In our meeting. You will here from me as soon as I am recovered. The only thing witch disturbs me Is that if we both go to Davy Jones, twll please that old Sir Thomas Vernon, bad luck to him.

Cities gave me this ' read, and I pointed out, several mistakes he had made in spelling, although the tone of the letter was gentlemanlike, everything was that Giles did. With great vexation and some difficulty, he added a postscript. "P. 8. Please excuse seeling as my arm Is very pancl'ul. G. V." At that moment a marine from the Ajax bounced, breathless and in great excitement, into the room. "We are to sail with the tide, tonight, sir!" he said. "The admiral passed the messenger on the road; the jib is loose, and the blue peter flying" and out he ran, to notify the other absentees. Giles seized the paper, and added laboriously: "P. 8. No. 2. I am Just enformed that the Mine Peter is flying from the Ajax. and that, my dear sir, signifies that we are about to sail. Our meeting must be postponed, for god knose when we will eat fresh butter again. But you shall hear from me. G. V." And that night we sailed with the tide. CHAPTER III. We were ordered to join Sir John Jervis' fleet in the Mediterranean without the loss of a day, and, when the tide served at nine o'clock that night. Sir Peter Hawkshaw was ready for it. The officers, who knew Sir Peter's capacity for picking up his anchors at short notice, were generally prepared, and were but little surprised at the sudden departure of the ship. The men, however, are never prepared to go, and the ship was besieged, from the time she showed the blue peter until she set her topsails, by the usual crowd of buniboat women, , sailors' wives, shop deal ers, and all the people with whom Jack trades, and who are loath to part with him for reasons of love or money. Although all of the stores were on board, there were market supplies to get. and the midshipmen were in the boats constantly until the last boat was hoisted in. just tis the music called the men to the capstan bars. It was a brilliant moonlight night, a good breeze was blowing, anil the Ajax got under way with an unusual spread of sail. As we passed out the narrow entrance into the roads, the wind freshened and the great ship took her majestic way through the fleet, a mountain of canvas showing from rail to truck. The first few days I was overcome, as it were, with my new life and its duties. Two other midshipmen, Junior to myself, bad joined, so I was no longer the exclusive butt of the cockpit. We spent most of our spare time expressing the greatest longing for a BlMttkl with the French, although for my own part, even while I was bragumg the most, 1 felt a sickness at the heart when 1 Imagined a round shot enter Ing my vitals.
