A title for these lands may be procured sooner than for such as have been already granted, such as Gage, Conway, etc., which must be obtained by a regular process in the court of Escheats. The lands on the river St. John are also sufficiently near the cod fishery in Fundy Bay, and perfectly secure against the Indians and Americans.

And judging from all that could be seen or heard, I think there were hardly any slaves at Springfield, or in the entire north part of Conway county, before the war. What few there may have been were limited to the plantations along the Arkansas river. I have never been at the little town since the occasion now mentioned, so personally I know nothing of its present appearance and condition.

"Not bad not bad at all," he frankly admired his own handiwork at the finish. "You see, it was like this. I've been short on anything like this for a long time good Rube stuff and so when Conway came through in his match the other night it looked like a providential opportunity and it certainly has panned up to expectations."

Sir John Conway, who accompanied the Earl through the whole of his "progress journey," was quite as much struck as he by the flourishing aspect and English proclivities of the Provinces. "The countries which we have passed," he said, "are fertile in their nature; the towns, cities, buildings, of snore state and beauty, to such as have travelled other countries, than any they have ever seen.

"You and Mr Dalrymple will understand all about that, I daresay, before the picture is finished," said Mrs Broughton. It did not take much persuasion on the part of Conway Dalrymple to get the consent of the younger lady to be painted, or of the elder to allow the sitting to go on in her room.

"If I were you I wouldn't think about him, Sharlie" She knew what Gwinnie meant. But thinking was one thing and caring was another. Thinking was the antidote to caring. If she had let her mind play freely over Gibson Herbert in the beginning But Gibson stopped her thinking, and John Conway made her think. That was the difference. There was nothing about John that was like Gibson.

Conway's just the difficulty. There can't be two commandants in one corps and he says he won't take orders from me." "Is that what you told Dr. Sutton?" "Yes." His cold, innocent blue eyes supported him. He was lying; she knew he was lying; that was not what he had said when he had whispered. "You don't suppose," she said, "I should leave Mr. Conway? And if I stick to him Gwinnie'll stick."

Then he adjusted his glasses again with agitated nervous attempts at a lilt. Then he struck his level and fell back on his natural instinct, unmixed, with attempts at being what he was not: "I beg your pardon, Mrs. Conway" "Git my entitlements right, please sah. I'm the only old maid lady of color you ever seed or ever will see again.

His reputation became, at last, so great, that Lord Conway sent to him from London, begging-that he would come over immediately, to cure a grievous head-ache which his lady had suffered for several years, and which the principal physicians of England had been unable to relieve. Greatraks accepted the invitation, and tried his manipulations and prayers upon Lady Conway.

He fired at Conway, hitting him in the shoulder. To save himself from being shot again, Conway flung himself from his horse. The boy sprang onto Mathews’s horse and rode away at full speed, followed by the other horse. An ineffectual volley was fired at the boy. Captain Mathews’s arm was broken by the fall. “So Captain Mathews has lost his horse?” asked Calhoun, with a faint smile.
