'Brace and a ha-r-r-f! drawls Slapp, in well-feigned disgust; 'brace and a ha-r-r-f! why, it makes them ten brace, and six run to ground. 'Oh, don't tell me, retorts Frosty, with a shake of disgust; 'don't tell me. I knows better I knows better. They'd only killed a brace since they began hunting up to yesterday.

"All right, boys," says Mr. Spillikins.

"A PROTEGEE of my Lady's," observes Sir Leicester. "I thought so. I felt sure that some uncommon eye must have picked that girl out. She really is a marvel.
