"I'm sure, sir, Mr Meldrum, I hardly know how to address you," said Captain Dinks, his old polite sell again, and smiling as if there was no storm near. "I beg your pardon for not recognising that you were of the same craft; but what could I think, or how could I judge?" "Oh, never mind that now," said Mr Meldrum eagerly. "Put her about at once, as you value all our lives."

"He makes some of dem, vot you call him bolitical talks, yah. He dinks eferypotty should be so goot like eferypotty else, und chust so rich, too." "Must be an Anarchist," said Tom. "He looks the part." "Norton told me he was a first-class engineer," said Dick, "but when I asked him if he was a good fellow he merely shrugged his shoulders in answer."

The boys were in high spirits over the beautiful morning, and both felt that it promised well for the venture before them. "I tell you we're going to win!" said Jack, compressing his lips and shaking his head. "I feel it in my bones, as your father says, just before a storm comes." "Dot's vot I dinks," assented Otto, whose only discomfort was his exceeding hunger: "Vot you dinks, Mrs. Carleton?"

Dinks arrived the air was full of hints and suggestions, and the name of Hope Wayne was not unknown. Farther acquaintance with Mr. Alfred Dinks had revealed to Miss Fanny that there was a certain wealthy ancestor still living, in whom the Dinkses had an interest, and that the only participant with them in that interest was Miss Hope Wayne.

"I do declare! what do people do so for?" Neither cared to take the next step, and make the obvious and necessary inquiries as to the future, for neither wished to betray the thought that was uppermost. At length Mrs. Dinks ventured to say, "One thing, at least, is fortunate." "Indeed!" ejaculated Mrs.

The rain had beaten down the leaves on the ground with such force that even the keen eyes of the young Kentuckian began to doubt. Finally the two paused, and Otto, having carefully prepared himself, said: "I dinks dot ish no use for us to hunt the horse." "I am sorry to give it up and own we are beaten, but that is what we shall have to do." "Vy do we does dot?"

Eight of the remaining sixteen men of the crew were then directed to take their places around the ladies' inclosure, along with Mr Adams and Frank Harness, while the other eight hands, under the command of Mr McCarthy, were told off to the jolly-boat, which was provided with double-banked oars and attached to the raft by a stout tow-rope it being the intention of Mr Meldrum, who remained on the raft as deputy commander-in-chief of the whole party in poor Captain Dinks' place, to relieve the rowers every alternate hour, so that all should have an equal share in the arduous task of towing, a job which would tax all their strength.

"I guess we're going to have it pretty rough, Cap, eh," said the American to Captain Dinks; "it looks all-powerful squally, it dew!" "You're right," said the captain. "We're now in the vicinity of the Cape of Storms, and we've got to look out."

"Vell, soome does dink anti-rent ist goot, und soome does dink anti-rent ist bad. Dey dinks as dey wishes." Here a low whistle came down the road, or rather down the bushes, when every Injin started up; each man very fairly gave back the watch he was examining, and in less than half a minute we were alone on the log.

But I think it is very foolish for any body to set themselves up against the customs of society. I think if it is permitted in Paris and London, we needn't be so very particular about it in New York. Mr. Dinks and Mr. Beacon both waltz, and I assure you it is very distingué indeed. But be careful in learning.
