"Come an wid ye to y'r forage-cake, thin-an' take this to ye," added Connor slyly, as he slipped a little nickel-plated flask into Billy Bagshot's hand. "With a Woking crematory in y'r own throat. See you bloomin' furder!" answered Billy Bagshot. "I'm not drinkin' to-day," answered Connor, with a curious look in the eye that had no cast. "I'm not drinkin', you understand."

I assented to his question, and he said: "I never heard of no fishin'. When people want to fish, they go to a lake about ten miles furder on." "Oh, I do not care particularly about fishing," I said, "but there must be a good many pleasant roads about here." "There's this one," said he. "The people on wheels keep to it." With this he turned and walked slowly towards the back of the house.

Ef he'd kem up furder I'd hev up with my slate and swotted him over the snoot bet your boots!" Thus admonished Jimmy Snyder, albeit unshaken in his faith in his own courage, sat down. A slight pause ensued.

"I thought 'twould be jes so!" he exclaimed, between his sobs and outcries. "I most knowed when that man hired father to have me go to show the woman the way I most knowed she was running away, and would get me into some scrape. Then the man, like enough, had done something, so he darsent go any furder with her. And now they'll lay it at to me boo-hoo! oo-oo-oo!"

"No," said she "but my old man's mighty smart, and he'll find out; you come wid me." Nothing doubting he went, and found the husband ready to do anything in his power to help him. "You's better not go any furder to-day. I'll get you a place to hide where nobody can't find you, and then I'll pump Massa 'bout the sojers." True to his word, he contrived to find out whether the soldiers were near.

"Yis, the world would be a good deal better off, ef the folks in it follered the sayin';" and then he added, "There's another spot in the book I'd orter look at to-night; it's a good ways furder on, but I guess I can find it.

For a moment Herbert and the trapper stood looking at the man and girl, who were standing on the edge of the beach, looking silently at them; and then the trapper said, still standing in the boat: "We would not run agin ye so sudden-like had we seed ye, friend; and ef our company be not pleasant to ye, we will move on, and camp on some clump furder down," and the old man placed his paddle against the beach as if he would breast the boat out into the pool.

"Shure! the fort's a mighty dale furder off than I thought for," observed Pat, as we were forming our camp on the evening of the fifth day. I then told him my own apprehensions. He looked somewhat uncomfortable. "But we have still got some venison in our packs, and must try back, I suppose," he said. "I can think of no other course to take."

You see, sah, I wants to say right heah, befo' I goes any furder, dat I don' know noffin 'cept what tuk place under my own obserbation. I don' feel called upon to 'spress no 'pinions 'bout nobody. I jes' wants to state a few recurrences dat I noted at de time, speshally 'bout dem strangers as was heah in pertickeler.

Tim winked, an impressive demonstration but for the insufficiency of eyelashes: "The surveyor he misdoubted, an' 'lowed ez gold hed never been fund in these parts. He said they fund gold in them mountings furder east 'bout twenty odd year ago in 1831, I believe he said.
