Tears and questions, and thanks and laughter, were strangely mingled with encli other, and then the whole party returned to old Jacks‘ house.

It appeared that Martha, knowing her mother's char- acter. and aware of the inlluence ot' I titorm upon her mind, had determined, as soon as the moon rose, to cross over and reassure the widow as to her own safety.
