"I saw him two or three times yesterday," said Captain Acton. "He had nothing to say about French cruisers in the offing. Nor did he give me a hint that he was taking the necessary steps to quit this Harbour early this morning."

"Are you goin' to show me where you found the gold-pieces, Croaker?" he asked, stroking the ruffled plumage smooth. "No sir," his neighbor answered promptly, "I should say not.".

It was a letter. Thinking I had dropped it in unconscious play of my hands during our talk, I returned and picked it up." "You dog!
