Verne made that prayer, for his faith was growing weak, and the words gave him strength, and as he wends his way to Phillip Lawson's office, smiling upon each acquaintance that he meets, none would suspect the desperate state into which he was so suddenly plunged. "Phillip will help me," murmured he with a hopeful gleam in his eye.

A deeper tinge now rested upon the purely oval cheek as the girl returned the recognition of a thoughtful-looking young man who had the air and manner of one possessed with more common sense than generally falls to the lot of the young men courted by the creme de la creme. "Miss Verne, I see that you too are bent upon enjoying this glorious evening; the old year is going out in all its serenity."

"I know that the young man admires Madge, but we have proof of nothing further." "You surely cannot say that, Stephen, and note the interest which Mr. Lawson takes in your affairs. Ah, we women can see you men through and through you don't mean what you say." It did not take much persuasion to gain Mr. Verne as an ally to the cause so dear to the woman's heart. Now what suggestions Mrs.

What matters it now, thought the girl, as she bent over a sheet of paper and tried to collect her thoughts. Hubert Tracy eagerly awaited the delicate missive that came as regularly as the mail, and he now was looking forward to the time when he would claim Marguerite Verne forever and forever.

He studied law at Paris, but turned to writing almost immediately after completing his education, and brought out his first comedy in 1850. This was followed by several comic operas.

Verne yet the physician did not pronounce his case as hopeless. "We are all doing our best and I trust that there will soon be a favorable change." Marguerite Verne heard those words with a deep sigh, yet she was calm, and composed and even smiled at the eulogism passed upon her skill in the many duties of the sick chamber.

The moment he saw that the king was safely aboard the Ark, De Beauxchamps, with a farewell salutation, disappeared into the interior of the Jules Verne, and the submersible sank out of sight as gently as if it had been a huge fish that had come to the top of the sea to take a look about.

Nor was he to be disappointed in the younger scions of the family. Fred. Verne was a noble, manly boy of fifteen, and gave promise of being a good and upright citizen; while the precocious Charlie, despite the daily amount of spoiling received in the domestic circle, was a clever little fellow, as ready with an answer as he was ready for his daily supply of chocolate caramels. Mr.

To this class belong the special preferences of boyhood and youth the liking for Cooper and Jules Verne, for example and those due to nationality, like the Englishman's choice of Thackeray and the Frenchman's of Balzac, or, what is a more flagrant case, the long resistance of the French public to the beauty of Wagner's music.
