When Roscoe had finished his tale, Mrs. Falchion said: "Mr. Boldrick must be a very interesting man;" and her eyes wandered up to the great hole in the mountain-side, and lingered there. "As I said, I must meet him," she added; "men of individuality are rare." Then: "That great 'hole in the wall' is, of course, a natural formation." "Yes," said Roscoe. "Nature seems to have made it for Boldrick.
"Perhaps you will recall it before I see you again," she said. They started. As they did so, Mrs. Falchion said suddenly, looking at Boldrick keenly: "Were you ever in the South Seas?" Boldrick stood for an instant open-mouthed, and then exclaimed loudly, as the cage swung down the incline: "By Jingo! No, ma'am, I was never there, but I had a pal who come from Samoa."

"A delightful journey, a remarkable reception, and a very singular man is your Mr. Boldrick," said Mrs. Falchion. "Yes," replied Mr. Devlin, "you'll know Boldrick a long time before you find his limits. He is about the most curious character I ever knew, and does the most curious things. But straight straight as a die, Mrs. Falchion!" "I fancy that Mr.

He partially stopped the cage, but only partially. It came with a dull, sickening thud to the ground, and Phil Boldrick Phil Boldrick's broken, battered body was thrown out. A few minutes later Boldrick was lying in Mr.
