I will speak of her relations to the matters here. In the chronological order in which they occur, and will leave you to assume In your own minds my resultant relatione with Mary Weston, Wo were naturally very much thrown together by reason of the Incidents described In the following pages, and 1 doubt that those Incidents had much to do with bringing us more closely on rapport and Into more Intimate relation with each other than ntharala ml.M I been the case. My first meeting with Ksry Wss. ton was on ths steamer going over from Dover to Cslala, while I was sn route to Heidelberg to continue my studies as have outlined. It had been a stormy night.

I had made I don't know hownuny turns up and down the dsck- when an unusually severs lurch and pitch of the vessel sent me flying forwsrd at grsatly accelerated speed, straight toward -the "companlonway, out of which Issued at that Instant Mary Weetoa.

I did not know her then, of course It wss- the first time had ever met her end you will admit that under the circumstances our mooting waa rather sudden snd violent, 'inasmuch as I collided with her so forcibly that she would have fallen to the deck bad I not seised her in my arms and held her there frightened and trembling, and withal. as I soon discovered, slightly bruised by the accident Possibly It waa that Instant when I bold her In my arms, while I could feel her frightened little heart palpitating almost against my own, when I could hear her quick gssp of terror and feel her warm breath against my cheek, that was ths beginning -of aiv ao-quatntanoa whleh epeedlly grew Into a friendship, and then deevlopsd into ecmithlua-that-is-STSStos end deeper and nobler than all the other erne.

I stammered some apology or other, tor I do not now recall the words I uttered while I still held her tightly elaeped against ms. and. Indeed, I continued so to bold her until with a emtio that was half a frown and which had behind it suggestion of witchery, she said to mot "I don't think I would fall now, sir.
