est to them, would be for him to depart from
England for twelVemonth or mor4 without
giving token that he still existed, and then on
his return be would be able to form an un-
prejudieed opinion Of his nephew. and act ac-
cordingy. If he found him what, according TO
Dale's account, he promised to become-a
practical, hardworking. honorable manager
he would leave the conduct Of the business in
his hands, only reclaiming that share which
had been grasped by Mrs. Sidebottom, which,
moreover he would feel a-perhaps malicious
pleasure in taking from her.
He seated himself one Of the benches
placed at intervals on the down for the con-
venience of visitors, and looked out at sea.
The sun shone, and the day, for winters day,
miah thought that to rest himself on the bench
could do no harm, SO long as he did not remain
there till he felt chilled.
AS he sat on the bench immersed in his tRou-
bled thoughts, gentleman came up, bowed,
and took place at his side.

| Mr. Pennycomequick was startled at this

"You are not, presume, aware" continued
| the gentleman, that there is very remarka@

points it out specially as the sanatorium of the

very interesting fact, sir, and as important as

| The gentleman worked his elbows, as though

"And pray,' said jeremiah, with a tone Of
sarcasm in his voice, what Is the good Of
| iodine when youuhave it?'
| "What is the gOod-the good of iodiue?'
The gentleman turned around solidly and
looked at Mr.. Pennycomequlek from head to
foot. "Do you mean to tell me, sir, that you do
| not know for what purpose an all-wlse Provis

| one of the most potent, may say 1t is the only
agent for the reduction of muscular, vascular

in which he employed such words as vascular,
osseous abnormal and secretions, 1t was ap.
parent that they gave the speaker thorough

form of disorder Of the cartilaginous system ID

"FOr the heart, also?' asked jeremiah, De.
coming interested in iodine.

pleased with himself, he said: perhaps you

induce you to take share in Iodinopolis."
''The great sanatorium of theI future. A

ready, and if we can persuade his grace the

Every now and then there came in strang.

pronounced enough to enable him to 'deter-

his attention was all at once directed to ni7

How odd-how stranger he muttered.
| "What, sir? what is stranger asked the gen]

Mr.. Pennycomequick ran his eye over the
