oisture in her eyes. "When will they be home?

"To-morrow morning."

And on the following morning, Captain Littleton and Mrs. Duncan were at
the railroad station, waiting the arrival of the train which was to
bring the absent ones. They were not very patient, but at last the cars
appeared, and stopped at the station.

"There they are!" cried Mrs. Duncan, as she stepped forward and grasped
the hand of the gentleman with the strong, well-knit frame and bushy
whiskers. A beautiful lady is leaning upon his arm, and when she sees
Captain Littleton, she throws herself into his arms, just as the young
ladies in the romances do.

But you wish to know about this lady, and we hasten to inform you that
it is Mrs. Paul Duncan, late Miss Carrie Littleton. No doubt you
expected all this when the young fisherman jumped overboard and rescued
her from a watery grave; and it would be a great pity to disappoint you,
especially when a few dashes of the pen will make all right with them
and with the sympathizing reader.

Captain Duncan and lady were escorted to the residence of Mrs. Duncan by

ocean steamers that sailed out of New York. He was exceedingly popular
with the public, and was often quoted as the noblest specimen of a
gallant captain, and, at the same time, a true Christian gentleman. He
is not rich, as wealth is measured in our day, though he has some
property, and receives a liberal salary from the Steamship Company; but
in the higher and truer sense, he is rich--rich in the possession of a
noble and lofty character, and a faith which reaches beyond the
treasures of this world.

John Duncan still continues to follow the fishing business, and owns a
fine schooner, which is engaged in mackerel catching most of the time.
He is the same bold, daring fellow that we knew on board the
Fawn,--which, by the way, is the name of his sch
