""0AA OuHuinSsi anu ptIuhpS you GU

The landlord hoped ato accommodate;
meanwhile he would take every pains
to make milor comfortable an cSnquSsmae
"Stay," cried Waring, who had been
closely scanning the courtyard during
the dialogue, Il will tell you what
monsieur shall do if he pleases. He shall
build me little pavilion on this side of
bis courtyard, where the sun shines.
There | shall carry on my studies like
the hermit that | am; my servant shall
take care of the room and of my books,
and l Will pay you roundly beforehand
for gratifying an Englishman's whlm."
This proposition caused NJ Heritier to
shrug hisshouiders more actively perhaps
than he had ever done before What q
redlcal, revolutionary, an unhe 'rd of
proposition! "But those Eng.ishman are
capable ofany thing" reaec; ed he; a ml!or
does not come to this old place every day
no, lot every three months. Doubtless
milor is as rich as he is odd. | shall not
be the loser
There was a long debate ever HAIRY
Warnings proposition. 1--WE will see
what can be done" said NJ. Heritier
finally; and lhe result WAS that the next
morning Harry WarIng was overseeing a
gang of carpenters who were preparing
to put up box fifteen feet square IN the
old courtyard that had been unchanged
in external appearance, except by decay,
for more than a century Great was the
curiosity manifested over the English
mans within. All d,y long the do
nothings of tine hotel peere6 out of their
windows at tho workmen; there was
growing, indeed, over the pounding and
hammeripg that went on, but "milor'
had made ample satisfaction beforehand
to his landlord, and on the whole I think
M. Heritier's guests were more entertained
than annoyed by the extraordinary
performance in the courtyard.
While the carpenters were at work
Waving established himself comfortably
in his sky-parlor. His principal anxiety
now vas 20 get the early occupancy of
his room in the courtyard. He had
taken little int rest in the construction
except o harry it on. Since the location
of the new structure had been determined
he had divided his time between his
books and long strools in the country.
1t was afterwards remembered, however
that in the selection Of the precise spot
Tor his little building, Harry Waring
had been almost unreAsonab'y particular.
Nothing would suit him but that it should
be placed exactly here, and not there to
get the sunlight" at such and sach an
angle; foot to the right or the left
would not answer. NJ Heritier could not
see what the Englishman wanted of the
sun in summertime; for his own part
he was glad enough of the shade in June
or July. "What droll of creature!'
he would exclaim to himself at must
be that he is touched in the brains. But
that is no matter as long as | have his
money"
The carpenters worked on meanwhile
With provoking slowness, as it seemed
to Harry; but in the course of a week
the courtyard resumed its usual quiet
the apartment was finished. Harry
would not wait to have il painted. |
Il learned to like the smell of fresh pine |
on my American travels" said he. 81

So Harry Warnings new quarters were
made ready for him as soon as possible. |
Inc room was neatly furnished, but he
refused half the articles that the landlord
proposed to bring, saying that the less
furniture the better his within would be
suited. His baggage. consisting of three
stout leather trunks, was moved down
stairs, and precisely week after he had
left home Warning found himself establish
ed in his new quarters, built to order, in
the old hotel which had been the home
Of his ancestor. He found himself, too,
firmly established in the reputation of
being crazy. All the people in the
