No, thank you. I'm not a foreigner." "More am I; but you come and live out here for a bit, and you'll be ready enough to do as the Romans-I mean the Spaniards-do." "Not I, Cyril, and I don't believe fish do go to sleep." "What? Why, I've seen them lie in shoals here, perfectly still; basking in the hot sunshine, fast asleep." "With their eyes shut?"

Mr Rowle came the day after the funeral, walking straight in, and, nodding to cook, who opened the door, hung up his shabby hat in the hall. Then, to my surprise, he took it down again, and after gazing into it as Mr Blakeford used to do in his when he came over to our church, he turned it round, made an offer as if about to put it on wrong way first, reconsidered the matter, put it on in the regular way, and as it seemed to me drew his sword.

"Gone--both of them," said Brace, laughing, as he lowered the hammer of his piece, for the sea-cow suddenly gave a wallow and went down with a loud splash as if it had been alarmed by the sight of something approaching, while its disturbance of the water acted upon the great alligator, which sank at once, startling another, of whose presence the watchers were not aware till they caught a glimpse of the reptile's tail as it disappeared.

"Yes, James; this is my last dying speech and confession." "Oh, papa!" with a burst of sobbing. "Be quiet, Kitty, and don't make me so miserable. Dying is only going to sleep when a man's tired out, as I am, with the worries of the world, money-making, fighting for one's own, and disappointment. I know as well as old Jermingham that it's pretty nearly all over. I'm sorry to leave you, darling, but I'm worn out, and your dear mother has been waiting for nearly a year."

Off to the Wilds Being the Adventures of Two Brothers

"Remember, Hazel," said Mrs Thorne, "remember this-we may be reduced in circumstances; we may have been compelled by misfortune to come down into this wretched little town, and to live in this miserable, squeezy, poorly-furnished house or cottage, with the light kept out by the yellow glass, and scarcely a chimney that does not smoke; we may be compelled to dress shab-" "Yes, yes, mother dear-"

We might know very little of the life of the late George Alfred Henty-writer for and teacher of boys, novelist, and one of the most virile of our war correspondents-but for one fortunate fact. His busy pen soon made him popular, and in course of time this popularity was sufficient to make editors of journals for the young realise that their readers would gladly learn something of the early life of the man whose vivid tales of adventure were being read with avidity wherever the English language had spread. In these days few are content to know a man only by his work, and even boys like to know something about the personality and experiences of the writers who have given them keen pleasure. As a result the inevitable came to pass, and the modern chronicler of personal details sought out the author.

"Oh, it's you, father!" said the newly aroused sleeper, slipping out of bed-or, rather, off his bed, for the heat of an Eastern China night had made him dispense with bedclothes. He made a frantic dash at his trousers, feeling confused and strange in the darkness, and hardly knowing whether he was dreaming or awake, as he whispered: "Is anything the matter?"

"And him drenched with physic!" cried Mrs Dunn; "when it doesn't do him a bit of good." "Not very complimentary to me, Mrs Dunn," said the doctor smiling. "Which I didn't mean any harm, sir; but wouldn't it be better to let the poor boy die in peace, instead of worrying him to keep on taking physic?"
