otherY And do you remember the time
when you got flogged for stealing an APP

" Get out of the way, you blackguard,
or I'll fog you in earnestp' cried the
excited man, showing him aside and
passing on. I" You can't play any of
your tricks upon me-"
Well, really" muttered Blinker-
man, 1 thought / knew him. Curse
these eyes They'll will be death of me
yet. But never saw such striking
resemblance in my life. A blind man
would have mistaken him for Bob
Lodgerl Well, well. Ha But here
comes somebody that / know III let
him pass, to see If he will forget or re-
member me-"
1t was an elderly gentleman, in a
white neckcloth-very slim and genteel
very tall and straight.
He passed 10y Bllnkerman as if his
head was in the clouds, and he was
studying astronomy. AS soon as he had
passed, Blinkerman with chuckle,

With cry of pain the elderly gentle
man instantly turned to see who had
assaulted him and squared off, savage
ly,-as soon as he saw Blinkerman, cry
ing:
Come on, you rascal I'll fix your
flint!n
"And so, Richard Dawler, you don't
me, eh ?' exclaimed the jocose Angus
tus, selling one of the fists and shaking
1t, much against the mans will.
Stand Off" let me alone. I wish
there was a policeman here. Don't
touch me! Who are you 20
" 1t can't be possible that have made
another mistake, can itp" muttered
Blinkerman. For Gods sake, tell
me! Are you, or are you not, Richard
Dawler, that keeps the soap and candle
mandatory If / am mistaken, for
give me, before l go and cut my throat"
I" You may cut your throat as soon as
you please; for / am no Richard Daw-
Ter, and despise soap and candles You
have nearly broken my back, and If 1
had watch L should think hadn't it,
for believe you're pickpocket !"
And the counterpart of Richard Daw-
Ter walked of, in high dudgeon, feeling
of his aching back.
"I'm glad hit him hard,'' thought
Blinkerman, spitefully, "for saying
what he said. Pickpocket Great
heaven! What's the world coming to 2
Where is my sight going to? believe,
when was asleep in Syria, some devil
must have put false eyes into my skull q,
to mislead me for the balance of my
life. Bless me Here comes Augusta
Morville, and = and = it is Adelaide

by strange gentleman. I'll relieve
him of Addie, and take a walk with
them. always thought great deal of

for her husband, I-Good morning, Miss
Fitchwing Good morning, Miss Nor
vile! 1 suppose you are surprised to
see me here"
All three of the parties looked embar-
rassed. Neither knew him. The gen
tlemen looked from one to the other of
the ladies, and they at him, and all three
at Blinkerman, but none of them smiled.
Delightful morning isn't it? On
the strength of old familiarity, Addie,
and my long absence, let me intrude
myself into your society, if you are out
for only promenade, and this gentle
man will excuse it, no doubt and 1 will
tell you something of what have seen
abroad"
& You are greatly mistaken. I don t
know youl" replied she, blushing and
looking little frightened
Ohio ~ returned Blinkerman, some
what nettled at previous rebuffs, but
more so now that, as he thought, ,he was
perfectly sure he was right. Wish to
forget me, doubtless. don't forget so
easily. If you don't remember me,
then all I've got to say is, if you ever
get married it won't do for your husband
to go away as far as California.
He meant this partly as badinage, and
partly as reproof; for he thought the
supposed Adelaide ignored him for the
sake of deceiving her gallant, new
beau, probably But he reckoned
wrongly.
"The lnsolent wretch !" whispered
she.
