hand, told him to remember that his house was always open to him, and
left for the night.
Even the old dog seemed anxious to join in welcoming the young gentleman
back, for he would look up affectionately in his face, draw his body
close to his feet, and lay his huge paw on his knee.
And now a fire was lighted, and Angeline prepared supper for Tite, for
he had eaten nothing since morning. The chair that had stood empty so
long was filled now, and the happiness that reigned under that little
roof was such as gold could not purchase.

treasure. The reader has already heard that portion which carries the
story up to the death of old Dunman, the pirate. It will be only
necessary then to give that part of it which relates to what took place
afterward.

much to relieve our sufferings and make us feel contented that we all
liked him, and felt his death was a severe loss to us.
