But don't you let it go any further, my dear boy; old man, don't you let it go any further. Pause! Reflect! Consider! Love wisely, but not too well! Take the unsolicited advice of a sufferer."

All his calamity confronted Lemuel. "No," he said, but nothing in him supported the lie he had uttered. "Wayfarer's Lodge?" suggested the other cheerfully. "Don't you remember?" "No " "I guess you do," said the mate easily. "Anyway, I remember you." Lemuel's feeble defence gave way. "Come in here," he said, and he shut the door upon the intruder and himself, and submitted to his fate.
It will probably keep him a couple of weeks, the longer the better. He was of no use here. Lemuel's death was a great shock to him, or rather the manner of it was." "That shocked every one. They were first cousin's weren't they?" Mr. Ward was a comparatively new resident in Stillwater. "First cousins," replied Lawyer Perkins; "but they were never very intimate, you know."
"I was led away, and I got my come-uppings, or the other fellow's come- uppings, for I wa'n't to blame any, and I always said so, and I guess the judge would say so too, if it was to do over again." A frightful thought stung Lemuel to life. "The judge? Was it a passenger-ship?" The other stopped buttoning Lemuel's trousers round him to slap himself on the thigh.
