It is, however, remarkable that not a single article was ultimately lost. This being the night on which the floating light was advertised to be lighted, it was accordingly exhibited, to the great joy of every one. Wednesday, 16th Sept. The writer was made happy to-day by the return of the Lighthouse yacht from a voyage to the Northern Lighthouses.

In the light of the open street she thought he looked pale and hollow-cheeked; she wondered if it was from his enforced frugality, and was trying to conceive some elaborate plan of obliging him to accept her hospitality at least for a single meal, when he said: "I think you have brought me luck, Miss Maynard." Helen opened her eyes wonderingly.

It was a blow as effective as a cannon ball could have been, for the knife clove the seat of life in twain, and the beast rolled over on the earth dead, almost before it could emit a single yelp of agony.

At the same time, being held with the breadth of the whole hand, at the centre, distinct single-handed indications can be given on the reins.
