True, the batzen are not legal here; but the people should have said to you: You are a stranger, and did n't know the prohibition; well then, we will seal up the Bag of Batzen; you send it back to Thuringen, get it changed for other sorts; we will not take it from you! "'Be of heart, however; you shall have your money again, and interest too.

As I bade good-by to Mr. Clark and thanked him for the order given me, he said: "Somehow you do not seem like a stranger." I thanked him for that compliment most sincerely. Sunday to the commercial traveler, if to no others, is preeminently a day of rest.

At a glance he saw that the man was a stranger in Fardale village. The stranger was dressed in black clothes, wore a cloak, with a cape, and had the brim of his hat slouched over his eyes, which were coal-black and piercing. He had a heavy black mustache and imperial, which gave him a rather savage expression, and, withal, he made a somewhat sinister figure.

Iberville was almost in despair. "Go back," he suddenly said to Gering, "and rouse the house and the town. I will get on the trail again if I can." Gering started away. In this strange excitement their own foolish quarrel was forgotten, and the stranger took on himself to command; he was, at least, not inexperienced in adventure and the wiles of desperate men.

They rose from their ambush, and as they did so the stranger caught sight of them. Instead of showing the uneasiness which any man might be expected to feel at suddenly finding himself in the presence of strangers in such a country, he promptly altered his course and came towards them.

"`Will you come to my camp and spend the night with me? he asked, gettin' more an' more excited. "`No, stranger, I won't, says I; `but if you'll come to mine I'll feed you an' make you heartily welcome, for somehow I'd took quite a fancy to the critter. "`I'll go, says he, an' he went an' we had such a night of it!

'Is the young gentleman expecting an acquaintance? said the stranger. There is nothing like putting a good face upon these matters, thought I to myself; and, getting up, I bowed to the unknown.

Our leading banker was clad in decorous black, as always on Sunday mornings, but in one place the sun penetrated his form at one side of his chest.
