Hugh Stanbury said that he would him

the ID. r.; but he would 90 to the Office
of the newspaper and overcome them.
How far the presence of Nora ROwley at
his mothers house may have assisted IN
bringing him to undertake the journey,
perhaps need not be accurately stated.
He acknowledged to himself that the
claims of friendship were strong upon
him; aud that, as he had loudly disap-
proved of the BOzzle arrangement, he
ought to lend hand to some other
scheme of action. Moreover, haviHgex
pressed his conviction that no improper
visiting could possibly take place under
his mothers roof, he felt bound to show
that he was not afraid TO trust to that
conviction himself. He declared that
he would be ready to proceed to Nun
combo Putney tomorrow; but only on
condition that he might have plenary
power to dismiss Bozzle.

to the subject as yet; and Puddle

would try his hand on the present state

it was essential that the ID. II. Should
express itself at once Having settled
these little troubles, Stanbury returned
to his friend, and in the evening they
dined together at a tavern.
"And now, Trevelyau, let me know
fairly what IL is that you wish" said
Stanbury.
