To return from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, and from the disastrous collapse of the French Colonial Empire to my own infinitely trivial personal experiences, I regretted the business which had detained M. Des Etangs in Ceylon, and deprived me of the company of so agreeable and cultivated a man-of-the-world. There was a Dr. Munro on board the liner. Dr.

"Aha! Mack is going to throw first!" said the Reverend Alexander Munro. "That is a pity." "It's a shame!" cried Isa, with flashing eyes. "Why don't they put one of those older ah ?" "Stagers?" suggested the M.P.P. "Duffers," concluded Isa. "The lot determines the place, Miss Isa," said Mr. Freeman, with a smile at her. "But the best man will win."

He and Long Tom Spence had struck up a partnership in a group of mineral claims on the Knob, that conical mountain which lifted like one of the pyramids out of the middle of Squitty Island. There had been much talk of those claims. Years ago Bill Munro he who died of the flu in his cabin beside the Cove had staked those claims. Munro was a young man then, a prospector.

Whether, if called upon by any authority, you would reveal what you know of this business?" was the further inquiry of Munro. "I certainly should every word of it. I should at once say that you were all criminal, and describe you as the chief actor and instigator in this unhappy affair."

"A very unpresentable son-in-law," I read in his eye, while he was evidently astonished at his daughter's prolonged absence. Our talk flagged and the fire grew gray in its flaky ashes before Fanny again appeared. "I know, papa, you think me very rude to keep Mr. Munro so long waiting, but there were some special directions to go with the packet, and it took me a long time to get them right.

The men looked up in surprise at being addressed in their own language by one whose attire was that of a simple craftsman, but whom they now saw rode a horse of great strength and beauty. "We belong to Hamilton's regiment," they replied. "And where shall I find that of Munro?" "It is lying in quarters fifteen miles away," one of the soldiers answered.

They came straight to London, and summoned me at once to the Langham Hotel. I suppose I looked somewhat amazed at sight of the portly lady, whom I had last seen driving round Central Park. But the twin Skye terriers who tumbled in after her assured me of her identity soon enough. "Mr. D charged me, Mr. Munro," she began after our first ceremonious greeting, "to give this into no hands but yours.

He fortunately left her in possession, and we know how the law estimates this advantage. Of her trials and sorrows, when she was made aware of her widowhood, we will say nothing. Sensitive natures will easily conjecture their extent and intensity. It is enough for the relief of such natures, if we say that the widow Munro was not wholly inconsolable.

I have little doubt that we shall fight a great battle to save Nordlingen." While Colonel Munro and his companions were discussing the matter a council of war was being held, and Duke Bernhard's view was adopted by all his generals, who felt with him that their honour was involved in the question, and that it would be disgraceful to march away without striking a blow to save the besieged city.

"No, he has received no news whatever of him since he heard of the affair at New Brandenburg, and is most anxious lest he should fall upon the army at Frankfort while we are away. Do you know aught about him?" "Tilly marched west from New Brandenburg," Malcolm said, "and is now besieging Magdeburg." "This is news indeed," Munro said; "you must come with me at once to the king."
