talk about Africa and her experiences with the
Kafilre is simply delightful. They are no less than

deals with the death of • dustman's wife :

Bill ducked: the shrivel whizzed over his head, and
buried itself up to the handle in a dust heap.
"Tworn't my fault, you fool," Bill growled back.
In his way, Bill was sorry for his yard-mate.—

When poor Jack got home, and learned that Bill had,

of a bereaved bear. Civilised widower, use refined phrases,
and smother their emotions in perfumed pookethandker-
chiefs. Jack's plusses were the reverse of refined, and he
did not possess a pocket-handkerchief of any kind.
" Hamaatin' like a wild beast," as his neighbours
phrased it, he bundled the hoarsely whispering reeeige
out of his room. Even Bet had to fiee before him taking
the twine with her.

So Jack and his mate went out to the "Seven Bells," •
house of call for dustmen and bargemen. Jack was
wally persuaded to drink. He swilled a good pint of
porter at starting, as with one deep glib ; but at first he
considered it due to the memory of his decemsd wife
to abstain from a smoke. However, the bargees and the
dashes, male and female, came dropping In. The roPet,

of all its joys.
