When we approached Cape Horn, at the southern extremity of America, the weather became very cold and stormy, and the sailors began to tell stories about the furious gales and the dangers of that terrible cape. "Cape Horn," said one, "is the most horrible headland I ever doubled. I've sailed round it twice already, and both times the ship was a'most blow'd out o' the water."
The hound, finding tracks running apparently in every direction, would grow bewildered. He would circle, of course, but the circles themselves would lead him off on tracks that turned back on themselves. As an additional puzzle, wherever the old man doubled, he put his arms about a tree and remained, his body pressed against the trunk a moment, as if he had climbed it.
He ran joyously to the window and opened it. A small boy saluted him with "Merry Christmas." The Haunted Man instantly gave him a Bank of England note. "How much like Tiny Tim, Tom, and Bobby that boy looked, bless my soul, what a genius this Dickens has!" A knock at the door, and Boots entered. "Consider your salary doubled instantly.

In the summer of 1834, I received in swarms and extra honey from my best stock, thirty dollars; and from my poorest, fifteen dollars.

"Rome," "Lourdes," "Paris," and all M. Zola's other works, apart from the "Rougon-Macquart" series, together with the translations into a dozen different languages English, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Portuguese, Bohemian, Hungarian, and others are not included in the above figures.

"The sheriff," explained Leroy. "They forgot him, and he doubled back on them." "I'll bet Val got one of them," cried Neil, his face lighting. "He's got one or he's quit living. That's a sure thing. Why don't you circle up on them from behind, York?" "I hate to leave you, cap and you so bad. Can't I do a thing for you?" Leroy smiled faintly. "Not a thing.
A simple Greek would be more welcome to me than this son of a mighty monarch." In this moment Knakias brought Bartja into the room. He went to Rhodopis at once, besought her not to refuse him the hand of her granddaughter, spoke of his ardent love, and assured her that his happiness would be doubled, if she would consent to accompany them to Persia.
As remarkable bits of architecture, perhaps, can be found elsewhere, but nowhere located under such picturesque conditions. There each palace has a mirror in which to gaze at its beauty, like a coquettish woman. The superb reality is doubled by a charming reflection.
