The timely appearance of a fish- tug smack on tile scene prevented the premature silencing of the voice that was presently to entrance the world (or some part of it) with the "Songs Before Sunrise.” “ 1 asked him,” writes Mr. Gosse. “what he thought about I d that dread ful contingency, and he replied that he had no experience of what people often profess to witness tbe concen trated panorama of past life hurrying across the memory. He did not re flect on the past at all He was filled with annoyance that he hud not finish ed Ills 'Songs Before Sunrise' and then with satisfaction that so much of it was ready for the press and that Maz- zlnl would be pleased with him. "And then he continued. ‘I reflected with resignation that I was exactly the same age as Shelley was when be was drowned.’ (This, however, was not the case.

He did not seem to see her at first, for his | eyes anxiously scanned the rows of | faces bent over tbe rail. Then there came an expression of blankest aston ishment as their eyes met, and she waved a dainty handkerchief In fare well. He made no movement to respond to her farewell. He stood and stared and stared at the boat until all she could see was his white face blurring into the crowd. Then the whole wharf vunlsbed behind a veil of tears. Four days later she gained the deck once more and crept to the chair which had been reserved for her. She sipped a cup of broth and sent the steward to inquire if a wireless message had been received for Miss Frallck. His nuswer in tbe negative caused her to lose In terest In the animated deck scene. Again she saw the wharf and Jack's startled face ns he saw her standing there. Why should he be startled, for he must have received her note early that morning saying that she thought their engagement was a mistake and that she was sailing for Europe Imme diately and that he must not try to break her resolution. He would know the reason, she bad euded. and be probably did, she argued now to her self. It was a dull trip, with little to vary the monotony of an exceedingly rough pussage.
