That ho wi n't hear of it from the lirst

' He don't meet any one np where he

But it was mighty queer, this whole

"Very queer," replied the lady, "for,"
with the samo metallic laugh, 'you
don't seem to be Riven to this kind of
weakness with your own family."
If there was any doubt as to the sareas

that ho lifted his eyes with a start; f-r

"Now, Mr. Hays, do you want to know
