Burn came to meet with Pringle of Haining; but, alas! it is two nights since this poor young man, driving in from his own lake, where he had been fishing, an ill-broken horse ran away with him, and, at his own stable-door, overturned the vehicle and fractured poor Pringle's skull; he died yesterday morning.
"No," said the doctor, stretching his legs and puffing at his cigarette; "but when you speak of Laura, and tell me she is writing to Bannisdale, I find a comfort in Sir John Pringle."

"No; but he knew of the place where I judge Foy is, this very yet. Gosh!" said Nueces River in deep disgust, "it beats hell what men will do for a little dirty money! Seems there's a cave near the top of the least of them two buttes the roughest one a cave with two mouths, one right on the big top. Nobody much knows where it is, only the V H outfit."

He first heard what his own would-be constituents had to say, and satisfied them as to his perfect independence of the great Whig families, and that he meant to keep his judgment unbiassed by party politics. "Then what about the extension o' the suffrage?" asked Sandy Pringle; "we want five-pound voters at Ladykirk."
"That box," she said, "was shipped to me from Flatbush, and was claimed in my name in the name of Genevieve Pringle at the freight depot at Newark, New Jersey, by this lady here. Deny it if you can!" "I do deny it, Miss Pringle," said Lady Agatha, accompanying her words with a winsome smile.
