The Lewis, with its tail-piece, the Harris, is quite a sizable island to be appended to such a country as Scotland. It is a number of miles long, and another number of miles wide, and it has a number of thousand inhabitants I should say as many as three-quarters of an inhabitant to the square mile and the conditions of agriculture and the fisheries are extremely interesting and quarrelsome.
But the tail-piece of the procession paralyzed all the home-coming emotions that I had expected to be feeling, save that of pure hilarity.
"Well, I'm not so sure," said Fulkerson, "come to get our amateurs warmed up to the work. But what I want is to get the physical effect, so to speak-get that sized picture into our page, and set the fashion of it. I shouldn't care if the illustration was sometimes confined to an initial letter and a tail-piece." "Couldn't be done here. We haven't the touch.

The cut next to the tail-piece is the best to boil. Rub a little salt over it, soak it for fifteen minutes in vinegar and cold water, then wash it and scrape it until quite clean; tie it in a cloth and boil slowly over a moderate fire, allowing seven minutes' boiling to each pound of fish; when it is half-cooked, turn it over in the pot; serve with drawn butter or egg sauce.
"He would now be a dead man." "Dead? But ought you not to grant the last request he made, and to give him his liberty on the con- ditions " "You do not know him." "But " "Silence! I took you for my lover, not for my confessor." Adolphe was silent.
