"Friends seem to rise around me, due to no merit of mine," he said. "Willet has always watched over me. Tayoga is my brother. Jacobus Huysman has treated me almost as his own son, and Master Benjamin Hardy has received me with great warmth of heart. And now you deliver to me a warning that I cannot but believe is given with the best intent. But again I ask you, why should I fear Adrian Van Zoon?"

"I don't know, my dear," I answered, evasively; "this isn't the first year I have been married, not by a good many, and I wouldn't climb it for a farm." "You know what I mean," she said. I did. When we reached the boarding-house, Mr. Jacobus took me aside.

Inured, however, as he was to risks, the incident soon passed entirely out of his mind. Yet an hour or two later the lad, Peter, sat in a back room with Mynheer Jacobus Huysman, and told him with relish of the occurrence at the dark turn of the road.
The nature of Caterina was cautious and she never opened a door quickly. "Good-morning, Caterina," said Robert. "Is Master Jacobus in?

When Mynheer Huysman had finished the lad slipped out at a back door, and was gone like a shadow. "An admirable youth for our purpose," said Mynheer Jacobus Huysman.
