I am an old son captain—~nt least not

nwnren. I run the right side of on anyhow
But being in receipt of n pension undo
small private income to boot, I have emit
anchor in my present abode in the oxpoo
tntlon of weathering runny a storm yet.

Doing without it known rolntlon in the
world, I willingly foil in with tho stinger-
tlon that I should pick up my moorings
alongside my old friend and mnemonic.

mine in the neighborhood of London. Wr
had always got on well together. mu
tastes and dispositions were similar, and
we and often met during our novel on-
rocra. Ills sister I had not previously been
it-quuinted with; but, being in many r0»
spouts like her brother, we were soon firm
friends.

Captain Travers nnd mynoif had each a
favorite parrot—his tho‘eommon African

I bud not long settled down in my new

unconsciously at first, I began to feel whul
a lonely old bachelor I was and wiiot u not

Miss lluchoi Travers Would be by my fire
side. But just here the curse of my life
began to mnko itself felt. Inherent aby-

and tnltlnrr my own parrot from its edge, I
carefully puliitod the end of ltn hill with

'iitoppod lightly over the fence and iinlintb

I buried, together with the out, in my own

not readily talk before strangers, and I
hoped thut by the time it bud got used to

I intuit risk it.

Travers. “Well, name over the fence and

I inwardly trembled, but I knew that

was very cheery, nud Minn Iinchol towed

After tho meal Captain Travers went

lie evening, and turning to mu Miss Trav-

"By the bye, Captain Manley, how is
