carrot from the debris that Dolly had
left on the table and held it toward |
Lord Travers.

with wave OF his hand. "You are
cracked enough alread. But tell me
how you found me out?"
"Oh, quite naturally-by accident
the usual way, you know. How did
you get here ?"

tiresome nonsense OF town life-went
shooting with my dog, attempted to

Slipped like fool, fell, broke my arm
in falling, and sunk, unconscious, into

"Merciful powers" exclaimed Pitta-

"My dog sprung in and held me
above the surface until Kirke, the
miller caught sight of me, jumped in,
pulled me out and lodged me here

nearly two months"
@Great fortune see it all" ejacu-
lated Pittacus, with energy. "It is the
