In her opinion some insidious disease was advancing upon him, and sooner or later the trouble would break out. Heimert's appetite began to fail at last; he hardly ate any-thing. He had always been extremely ugly, but people now shrank back at the sight of his face.

Well, even so, it's easy selling my new gown to one that covets it, and that will give me in exchange the price of the gold; or, suppose that would not do, add this cloak, it's handsome, and I know a friend would be glad to take it, and I'd part it as ready as look at it Any-thing at all, sure, rather than that he should be forced to talk of emigrating; or, oh, worse again, listing for the bounty to save us from the cant or the jail, by going to the hospital, or his grave, maybe Oh, mother!

Old W was a little, busy, cringing tradesman, who, with his son upon his arm, would stand bowing and scraping, cap in hand, to any-thing that wore the semblance of a gown insensible to the winks and opener remonstrances of the young man, to whose chamber-fellow, or equal in standing, perhaps, he was thus obsequiously and gratuitously ducking. Such a state of things could not last.

BY-ENDS. Yes, I will assure you that it is; and I have very many rich kindred there. CHR. Pray, who are your kindred there? if a man may be so bold. Smooth-man, Mr. Facing-both-ways, Mr. Any-thing; and the parson of our parish, Mr.

Do you know, I don't believe I can stick that flat much longer!" "Why, are things worse?" I asked. "It's getting so jolly creepy," Bohun said. "Everything goes on normally enough outwardly, but I suppose there's been some tremendous row. Of course I don't knew any-thing about that. After what you told me the other night though, I seem to see everything twice its natural size." "What do you mean?"

Father might think of a variety of attractions. Health? any-thing from gout to tuberculosis. Fish? father can talk about fish until you actually see them leaping. Shooting? according to father, all the animals of the ark abound in these mountains. Curios? father has an Indian mound somewhere which he always keeps well stocked." Professor Spence smiled.

It seems to be almost certain that it was some tramp or other robbery the motive probably, and then he was startled and left the money it was all lying about on the grass. But then Carfax was mixed up with so many ruffians of one kind and another. It may have been revenge or any-thing. I believe they are searching the wood now, but they're not likely to bring it home to any one.

"Who?" ses Bill; "why, Webson, the landlord. You don't mean to tell me you ain't heard about it?" "Heard wot?" ses Ginger. "I haven't 'card any-thing. I've been indoors with a bad cold all the week." "Webson and Julia Tucker was married at eleven o'clock yesterday morning," ses Bill Lumm, in a hoarse voice. "When I think of the way I've been done, and wot I've suffered, I feel 'arf crazy.

But if you knew the relief that it is to me. . . . Though, mind you, if it's on your conscience, if it burdens you, you must 'out' with it. Don't have any scruples about me. But it needn't burden you. You hadn't any-thing to do with it. You were here and I told you. That's all. I've shown you that I want you as a friend."

The cut of their beards worried him. Their voices jarred upon him. Every day or two he broke forth to his wife in long tirades of abuse. "Oh, I can't stand these people! They don't know any-thing. They talk every rag of gossip into shreds. Taters, fish, hops; hops, fish, and taters. They've saved and pinched and toiled till their souls are pinched and ground away. You're right.
