To carry out that good idea he dressed him- self and went down looking for what was not to be found. Of course not. If be had ft somebody's carpet-bag that looked exactly like somebody else's of course somebody else had gt his. And then, what if somebody else's cy fitted his lock; there would be an exposition of masculine traps in a lady's cabin; and the worst of it was, they would know who owned them. Painful predicament. No help for it though. The deed was done. So he called the stewart; the stewart called the head waiter; the bead waiter called the waiter at the other end of the body corporate of cabin attendants; but the only information obtained was that he had heard some woman it one of the staterooms—couldn’t tell which— “going on like fan about her carpet-bag.’” Ah, that was it—some womam. Our bach- elor friend would sooner encounter some bear than that woman—the woman whom be had robbed of her night-gown. Without a shirt was nothing—with a shift, was something.

Finally every room was looked into by the chambermaid, and nowhere was the counter- part of that bag to be found. Its like was not ou the boat. Terrible idea, that it had gone ashore; and here is our bachelor friend on a three day's trip without a chance of of a clean chirt, unless such @ one as he had seen in his vision of a dream. P To help the matter on, an accident detained the boat anotherday. Itwas avery dark day. But our friend's case was darker; it was a black case—a case of black leather; but it contained a white shirt. But where was it? that was the question, not what was init. Finally the age-man was called to see if he could tell where the lost carpet-bag had gone ashore. ** What sort of a one?” “Just like that—exactly.”" “ Exactly?" “Yes, preciscly.”” ; ** Precisely? Then that is precisely it; for there has not been another like it on the boat since we left Quebee.”’ . ‘* Impessible. I have tried and tried to un- luck it.
