"Oh, I want to see it!" she exclaimed; "and I'm sure the rest will when they hear what happened there." "Well, daughter, there will be nothing to hinder," the captain answered pleasantly.

"Dear boy! he is doubtless feeling quite lonely and homesick this morning.
However, he will soon get over that and enjoy his studies and his sports." "I think he'll do you credit, papa, and make us all proud of him," she said, slipping her hand into her father's and looking up lovingly into his face.
