"Pertikler!" he cried, "why, that there bloke give me this 'ere!" Nothing evidently could have been more conclusive to Billy's mind. I felt almost jealous to find how much truer Jack's new friend was than his old one. "Was he here long this evening?" I asked, presently.

"Weel," said the knave, when he had warily led him into the abbey kirk-yard, "I didna think ye would hae gane back to my Lord; but it's a' very weel, since he has looked o'er what's past, and gi'en you a new dark."

No evening is lang enow to sing all my songs in all those I've gi'en my friends in my audiences at one time and anither in all these nearly thirty years I've been upon the stage.
