enough, until the month comes round for her to play through the same heartrending farce.
Now and again, she alludes with pride to her Jack, who is away in command of the Calut and whom she expects home in November.
God help her ! poor soul i the signalman's eyes held a suspicious moisture, as he looked out through the door, down to the ships scattered about the blue floor of the harbour, like the toys of tired child, "they tried to get her to go home again, back to her own people, but she would not hear of leaving, when her Jack might be coming back, shortly. One kind hearted old lady, who was going home to England, agreed to take the poor stricken thing with her, and they had almost to use, force to get her to leave Hongkong and when they had started, she used to fret so much on board, at being away, that on their arrival at Singapore, the doctor decided that the only way to save her life, was to let her return. So she was sent back; and waits, for the ship that will never come in
My God; it's hard!" the signalman's voice trembled:"it's hard to see her come toiling up the path here, her, that you wouldn't think could walk a hundred yards up this hill, without being knocked up; and to have those great, sad eyes, looking right into you, with such a world of dumb entreaty, as though they dimly divined that there was something you were holding back from her, some elusive thought that the poor broken intellect could not grasp,
For five years now I've stood up here and told her that perhaps if we could see further, me might be able to see the Calyx coming in. Five years, and yet I could no more pain her to-day by telling her that there was no Calyx now; to come in, though I know the poor thing would not believe me, than I could have done on that first November morning, when she came up here to watch and wait,"

Not satisfied yet, the tusker kant prodding the carpee, and trampled it into a shapeless mass before desisting. The bead. man's remains were removed next day with. the greatest caution, in mortal dread of the tusker. The "baby" "entrapped by him was let severely alone standing in the trap, where it may be at this moment. It may yet, be captured when the terrible tusker is absent. though a squeal would bring him to the spot in double quick time. He is supposed to be the father. Of the azother nothing was scen, but the "baby is well protected without her.
THE INVENTOR OF THE JINRIKISHA.
With reference to a discussion in the home papers as to who was the inventor of the jinrikis sha, an old resident, who arrived in Yokohama in the sixties, writes to the Kode Chronicle as follows:-
"For several years after the institution of the inrikisha, it was generally understood among foreigners in Yokohama that Mr. Goble, half cobbler, half missionary,' was its inventor. Mr. Goble, though a rough-looking set of man. as regarded by the foreign residents of the portas Jan honest, consistent missionary. I believe it was he who built the first missionary chapel in Yokohama, and as long as it lasted it was known as Goble's Church? He was in the habit of taking long rambles in the country and doing a little peddling business, and if my memory serves me rightly he gave a commis sion to a blacksmith either in Kawasaki (on the Tokaido between Yokohama and Tokyo) or in Fujisawa to construct the firs: finrikisha. The vehicle took at once with the Japanese, but not so among the foreigners, with whom it was some time before it became...
A POPULAR MEANS OF LOCOMOTION.
Mr. Goble was an American citizen.
It was not until two years later, that I learned more of the waiting lady; and then on November 21st, as I came up, at the close of a raw damp day, to the Peak hotel, at which I had taken up my residence, a coolie came running in for assistance, saying as he was called), who is also referred to in the Mr. W.

I may say that the late Mr. W. H. Smith was a son-in-law of the late Mr. Brooke, the proprietor of the Japan, Herald"
One glance, revealed to us that the spirit had lost it's precarious hold of the fragile. young body, but there was a look of peace, almost of gladness in the poor bewildered eyes, that told us, as we stood there and reverently bared our heads that she had at last seen the steamer with the buff-coloured funnel, coming into that harbour from which she would sail no more, and where partings. are not.
