"But but," said Frank amazedly, as the men piled on board and the boys all shook hands madly with everybody. "We can't take this yacht it isn't ours, we have no right." M.

The young Pharisee, on the road to Damascus, blinded, bewildered, with all that vision flaming upon him, sees in its light his past, which he thought had been so pure, and holy, and God-serving, and amazedly discovers that it had been all a sin and a crime, and a persecution of the divine One. Beaten from every refuge, and lying there, he cries: 'What wouldst Thou have me to do, Lord?

"You can see!" she cried; and huddled the garment about her in a panic. "You can see!" she repeated amazedly. "How is that? What has happened?"

"There is absolutely nothing there, and no one can possibly have left the grounds," said Eltham amazedly.
