triae more pug than was necessary to
determine its origin, investigating his
whiskers in close quarters with his
mouth.
Eyes, ma'am, Yankee noses in TOO
many cases seem to be manufactured
for the sole business Of smelling out
matters that don't concern them, bot
We must not find fault with master
Shandy; / dare say his nose has the
worst Of il in this case; an. ha !
thought so, he exclaimed, as Shandy's
nose changed base. fist following suit,
and vigorous rubbing commenced. and
the doctor laughed with the mother at
the forced performance.
This point settled, ma'am, will you
be kind enough to let Us see Mr.. Ash

she was honest and had her own idea.
"a reference TO The matter her bread
aud butter had 70 be considered, and
she did not intend 10 reveal an she
thought and knew, unless future nc.
cessity arose, but she was much dis
turbed upon hearing that Morley had
not reached home, and when Ernest
expressed his fears 10 the doctor tha,
some evil bad beialen hun, she cr;cd
out in frightened voice:
"Och muriher, II be be drooned it
is Kathleen Maioney thatIl njycr ri.t
my moor" looking toward the bay as Il
hoping to see the boat.
Watcher was heard yelping and whin-
ing from the floor above and Ernest
went to call him down. The doctor
hearing the noise turned a penetrating
look upon the woman and asked
"Are you sure, ma'am, that The gen.

further inquiry" he SAID to Ernest, who
had returned 10 the room with a disap-
pointed look, for the dogs demonstra-
ions up stairs had led him into the
