The discussion of the morning, the silent menace and defiance of the voyage to Laulii, might have set the best-natured by the ears. But Knappe and de Coetlogon took their difference in excellent part. On the morrow, November 16th, they sat down together with Blacklock in conference. The English consul introduced his colleagues, who shook hands.

The consequence was that by and by we have Dr. Johnson's poet, Savage, telling us, "In front, a parlor meets my entering view, Opposed a room to sweet refection due"; Dr. Blacklock making a forlorn maiden say of her "dear," who is out late, "Or by some apoplectic fit deprest Perhaps, alas! he seeks eternal rest"; and Mr. Bruce, in a Danish war-song, calling on the vikings to "assume their oars."

"These all came yesterday morning by mail, one to each of us just as the one came to you," he informed Mr. Latham. "Mr. Harris here, of Harris and Blacklock, learned that I had received such a stone, and brought the one he had received for comparison. We made some inquiries together and found that a duplicate had been received by Mr. Stoddard, of Hall-Stoddard-Higginson.

"Thank you, Blacklock," said he, in a voice that made me feel as if I were a little boy in the crossroads church, believing I could almost see the angels floating above the heads of the singers in the choir behind the preacher. "Thank you. I am not surprised that you have misjudged me. God has given me a great work to do, and those who do His will in this wicked world must expect martyrdom.

There may be men who can resist that word "tip" at the race-track, but there never was a woman. "My sister has to stay here," said Sammy hurriedly. "I'll go with you, Blacklock." All this time he was looking as if he were doing something he ought to be ashamed of. I thought then he was ashamed because he, professing to be a gentleman, had been neglecting his debt of honor.

If he hadn't got caught up into this Blacklock game, no one'd ever thought enough about him to so much as kick him. But after it was all over, we began to remember this same Sloppy an' to recall what he was; no big job. He was just a worthless fool pup, yeller at that, everybody's dog, that just hung round camp, grinning and giggling and playing the goat, as half-grown dogs will.

"Not yet," said I easily. "Dry your tears and put away your black clothes. Your friend, Tom Langdon, was a little premature." "I'm afraid I've given you a false impression," Sam continued, with an overeagerness to convince me that did not attract my attention at the time. "Tom merely said, 'I hear Blacklock is loaded up with Textile shorts, that was all. A careless remark.

Instead of using my key, I rang the bell, and when Sanders opened, I said: "Is Mrs. Blacklock in?" in a voice loud enough to penetrate to the drawing room. As I had hoped, Anita appeared. Her dress told me that her trunks had come she had sent for her trunks! "Mother and father are here," said she, without looking at me.

Blacklock. Mr. Blacklock, my wife." I bowed; she looked coldly at me, and her slight nod was more than a hint that she wished to be left alone with her husband. I said to him: "Well, I'll be off. Thank you for " "One moment," he interrupted. Then to his wife: "Anything special?" She flushed. "No nothing special. I just came to see you. But if I am disturbing you as usual " "Not at all," said he.

Soon as Cock-eye heaves the dynamite into the water, off goes the pup after it, just as he'd been taught to do by the car-boys. "'Hey, you fool dog! yells Blacklock. "A lot that pup cares. He heads out for that stick of dynamite same as if for a veal cutlet, reaches it, grabs hold of it, an' starts back for shore, with the fuse sputterin' like hot grease.
