So fair a maid deserves two cavaliers, but we would be at sword points within a week, and I do not wish to lose the friendship of Mr. James Frisby of Fairlee."

The high jinks were kept up to an advanced hour, and every one agreed that they had never spent a more delightful evening. There! Type as many copies as are necessary, Miss Frisby, and send them out this afternoon with photographs." Miss Frisby having vanished in her pallid way, the radiant and vivacious hostess turned on her nephew again.

The same open, bold countenance of the Admiral, the same frank and manly bearing, showed him to be a sailor and a fighter. "Hello, Frisby," said he, shaking my hand cordially. "With the dove so near I knew that the hawk would not be far away." I stammered out, as the landlord smiled, that I was forced to come to Chestertown to avoid the man-of-war lying off Rock Hall.

"The silence was too painful to last. "'Captain McPeek is an interesting man, I said. I spoke more loudly than I intended. I may have been nervous. "'Yes, said Daisy Holroyd, 'but he has a most singular hotel clerk. "'You mean Mr. Frisby? "'I do. "'Yes, I admitted, 'Mr. Frisby is queer. He was once a bill-poster.

"'You see, McPeek, said the professor, 'we only wanted one more man, and I think I've got him Haven't I? turning eagerly to me. "'Why, yes, I said, laughing; 'this is delightful. Am I invited to stay here?

"Frisby, fat, nervous, and sentimental, hopped out of the cart. "'Come, said the professor, impatiently moving across the dunes. I walked with Daisy Holroyd. McPeek and Frisby followed. The yellow dog walked by himself. "The sun was dipping into the sea as we trudged across the meadows towards a high, dome-shaped dune covered with cedars and thickets of sweet bay.

The settlement was started February 18, 1878, by Jos. H. Frisby, Merritt Staley, Oscar Mann, Orson and Alfred Cluff, Ebenezer Thayne, David E. Adams and a few others. The overrunning referred to was not done blindly. Jos. H. Frisby and Alfred Cluff went to San Carlos.
