"Oh, thru, I know you will be kind

tones. “ My poor husband died yester

“ If you will only land me at the

more. I can easily find a boat there to
take me up.”
“ Where is the body ?” asked Tucker.
“ In tjte wagon,” returned the lady,
at the same , time raising the corner of
her shawl to wipe away the gathering
tears. "I have a sum of money with
me, and yon shall be paid lor the

The kind-hearted old Commodore was
not the man to refuse a favor, ant!
though he liked not the bother of taking
the woman and her strange accompani
ment on board, yet he could not refuse.
When he told her he would do as she
had requested, she thanked him with
many tears in her e>sa.
Soma of the men were sent upon the
wharf to bring the body on board. A
long frtiffaio robe was lifted off by the
man who drove tea wagon : beneath it
