lttsa village. The whistle Of the iron
Z horss was not to be heard within many
miles, and the passage Of the coach be-
tween DOlgelly and Carnarvon was the
sole event of the day. There was one
ASesi and some halE-dozen shops and other
houses where lodgings were to be obtained ;
but sIlght as was the accommodation II
Fally equaled the demand.

with = younger one ofseven or eight. The
child dropped the hand she was holding.
and came fearlessly up.
'.PIease may look at your picture ?''
He nodded silently, and went on with
his painting.
