Joe," said the Old Un, sinking his voice to a hoarse whisper, "the hour is come perjooce the cloo!" Hereupon Joe produced a pocketbook and took thence a highly ornate coat button whereto a shred of cloth was attached.

"Sir," said Joe, "me an' the Spider searched that wood, an' we found a coat " "Shut up, Joe," snarled the Old Un, "you're tellin' it all wrong. Guv, Joe an' the Spider went a-seekin' an' a-searchin' that wood, an' they found a cloo " "Oh?" said Ravenslee. "A cloo as is a-goin' t' 'ang somebody yet a cloo, Guv, as ain't t' be ekalled for blood-guilt an' mystery.

"I searched her box through and through," said his niece, "but it wasn't there; then I came down again and had a rare good cry all to myself." "That's the best way for you to have it," remarked Mr. Negget, feelingly.
