Foss, who had been out of town on a job, came in to hear the result of her visit to the fortune-teller, and found Mr. Lippet installed in the seat that used to be his. At first Mrs. Dowson turned a deaf ear to his request for information, and it was only when his jocularity on the subject passed the bounds of endurance that she consented to gratify his curiosity.

“And did you attempt to enter after his order?” “I did; but the warrant was in my hand.” “Proceed, Mr. Lippet, with your examination.”

“Hem why, I guess I am not far out of the way,” returned Elnathan, endeavoring to imitate the expression of the other’s countenance, by looking jocular. “Latin is a queer language, gentlemen; now I rather guess there is no one in the room, except Squire Lippet, who can believe that ‘Far. Av.’ means oatmeal, in English.”

Dowson, briefly, "and I do hope that Flora is going to act sensible. Anyhow, she can let Ben Lippet come and see her, without going upstairs with the tooth-ache." "He can come if he likes," said Flora; "though why Charlie couldn't have 'ad the motor-car and 'im the five years, I don't know." Mr. Lippet came in the next evening, and the evening after.

Dowson gave him a singularly unkind look for one about to leave him so soon, and, afraid to trust herself to speech, left the room and went up-stairs. As the door closed behind her, Mr. Foss took the chair which Mr. Lippet had thoughtlessly vacated, and offered such consolations to Flora as he considered suitable to the occasion.

"One unfortunate marriage in the family is enough; and here, instead o' walking out with young Ben Lippet, who'll be 'is own master when his father dies, she's gadding about with that good-for-nothing Charlie Foss."

Natty started at the sound of his name, and, raising his face earnestly toward the bench, he said: “Anan!” Mr. Lippet arose from his seat at the table, and whispered in the ear of the prisoner; when Natty gave him a nod of assent, and took the deer-skin covering from his head. “Mr.

“I have always heard so,” said Mr. Lippet soothingly. “You have been used to the rifle yourself in that country.” “I pull the second best trigger in this county. I knock under to Natty Bumppo, there, sin’ he shot the pigeon.”

Lippet arose, with an air of keen investigation, and asked the following questions: “Are you a constable of this county, sir?” “No, sir,” said Hiram, “I’m only a justice-peace.” “I ask you, Mr. Doolittle, in the face of this court, put ting it to your conscience and your knowledge of the law, whether you had any right to enter that man’s dwelling?”

I am not much of a wrestler, seeing that I'm getting old; but I was out among the Scotch- Irishers let me see it must have been as long ago as the first year of the old war ” “Mr. Lippet, if you are retained for the prisoner,” interrupted Judge Temple, “instruct your client how to plead; if not, the court will assign him counsel.”
