SUPERNATURAL CHRONOMETRY.
Rowena was dining out, Joe and Harry were belated at play, there were but three chairs and four persons that noon at the home dinner-table--the twins, the widow, and her chum, Aunt Betsy Hale.

The widow soon perceived that Angelo's spirits were as low as Luigi's were high, and also that he had a jaded look.

Her motherly solicitude was aroused, and she tried to get him interested in the talk and win him to a happier frame of mind, but the cloud of sadness remained on his countenance.

Luigi lent his help, too.
