"Very well; but you must be back so as to go to bed and get up in season for your excursion to the city to-morrow." "Come, Charley, I guess we won't go up on the raft," said Frank with a pleasant laugh. "I guess not;" and the two boys walked towards the rude cottage of the widow Weston.

She was the mother of four children,--three sons and a daughter. Her eldest son, who was now twenty-two years old, had been in California nearly two years, having left his home a year before the death of his father. She had received one letter from him on his arrival at San Francisco, since which she had heard nothing of him, and had given up all hopes of ever seeing him again.
