Minty's face slightly changed. "Nothin'; I kem back to get some things," she said shortly, moving away. "And ye saw HIM?" "Ye-e-s," drawled Minty, carelessly, still retreating.

I regretted to see him pass so often to the "bar." He was drinking deeply. He had returned to his station by the wheel-house, and was gazing ahead. Some straggling lights were gleaming on the right bank of the river, a mile farther up. The sight of these caused him to start, and utter a wild exclamation: "By Heavens! it is Bringiers!"

"All men are weak," he said. "And then he married and left Mrs. Carruthers, I suppose?" I asked. I wanted to hear as much as I could. "Ye-e-s," said my old colonel. "I was best man at the wedding."

But no contradiction came.
