However. | MAS very much pleased
when my second cousin, William Wat
kius, a man Who had always lecn
friendly 10 me in a haughty, distant
sort q a way, commanded my attend
aucc 81 Wyilyiluu Castle H. told
me Her Majesty bad insisted upon his
accepting the onerous but diguifed po-
siton Of High Sheriff Of tho county,
aud that be, William Watkins bad gra-
ciously determined TO appoint me his

vito me to luncheon, aud amongst the
distinguished guests al the Castle l
found an acquaintance, Capt Potts,
who, with Lady Laura Potts, bis wife
was on a visit 10 the Castle. Potts was

a little cottage near Llanywm. He had
not more than fifty pounds year TO
live upon 80 you may Judge that the
loss Of thousand pounds would leave
a large hole in his income. The other
surety was an old gentleman who had
always been very kind to me, and who
had accumulated n little money in a
long life Of thrift and industry; he had
travelled for Jones aud Blown, OF Man
chester, for thirty years. | never
dreamed Of such a thing as their hav

told them I'll much do as under
