He believed the "slave-holders perfectly secure in their property. There was, he ad mitted, a great deal of discussion kept up, i and the question was being agitated to a con siderable extent, but it was all more smoke than fire. This assurance, made in Tom’s phatic and assertive style, pleased Mrs. Car- roll so well, that she began to thiuk Tom a very clever, if even a rattier eccentric person. Meantime, Marcel had been engaged in conversation with Lottie, occasionally addressing Charley, who would stare at the girl at such moments, then flush up and immediately after became profoundly in terested in a rural landscape. Lottie told Marcel of all the places she had been to in Goram, and of how terribly scared she was in passing from one side of the street to the other lest she would be run over. When this subject was exhausted|Marcel began speaking about his approaching departure for Eurape, and in a whisper asked Lottie if she w&uld miss him while he was away. At which her brown eyes looked up into his face from be neath the long silken lashes, and her mild features lit up with a temporary glow. Of course she declared that she would miss him very much, and so would Mittie and Mrs. Carroll. He was only person they looked upon ns a brother. Much more of the same sort was said, and Marcel was fast becoming decidedly spooney, aud was stoopiDg over Lottie and playing with the fringe on her cloak rather more frequently tbau a lad of eighteen should have, when Mrs. Carroll, re membering something that she had not yet told him, withdrew her attention from Tom and addressed him. Altogether, the trip ou the train turned out a delightful one foi all parties. Belore they reached Baltimore, Mrs. Carroll had reminded Marcel of his promise to take dinuer with her Thomas R.
