pleased with the unconcsrn Of my own voicA

mys tho master.
"This time you have brought tas haAck dog

Referring TO 6scundra Dasr' asked The
master. "Let me present you. He b .
native gentleman Of lndia.s
"Hum" said L ~ am no great lover either
Of you or your friends, Mr.. Bally. But viii

ceivs the man was changed. Later, when w
were Ill together, ! was more struck to ~
how lightly time had dealt with him, bat the
hrst glance was otherwise.
"You are getting an old man." aaid L
A shado came upon his face. "If you could
- yourself" J" saidhe, 'you would perhaps not
dwell upon the topic"
"Hutl" I returned; ''old age b nothing to

sm now, thank God, better known and moro
respected. II Is not every one that can ny
that, Mr.. Bally. The lines In your brow arc
you like prison. Death win soon b rap
ping at the door. and 80 not from what
source you are TO draw your consolationa"
Here the master addressed himself TO Be-
cundra Daa In Hindoostanss. from which
gathered q freely confess, With high de-
gres Of pleasurs) that my rsmAris annoyed
him. All this while, You may b. sure, my
mind had been busy upon othsg matters even
while ! rallied my enemy, and chiefly - to
how I should communicate sscretly and
quickly With my lord To this, In the breath
ing space now given mo, I turned IN The
forces Of my mind when, suddenly hitting my
eyes, Twas aware Of tho man himsslf standing
in the doorway, and to all appearance quite
composed. Ho had NO sooner met my looks
than he stepped across the threshold. The
master heard him comiug and advanced upon
the other dde; about four fest spart, thsss
brothers came 10 full pauss and stood ex.
changing steady looks, and then my lord
smiled, bowed little forward and turned
briskly away.
"Mackellar," says be, I'VE must - TO
breakfast for these travelera."
Il was plain tho master was tribe discon-
certcd but he assumed the more impudence
Of speech and manner. ~ am ~ hungry a. Q

Henry
My lord turned 10 him with tho same hard
smile. "Lord Durrisdeer," says he.
"Oh, never In the family" returned the
master.
Every one In this house renders me my
proper title, )" says my lord. III itplease you
to make an exception, / will leave you to con-
slider what appearance IL will boar TO strang-
ers, and whether II may not be translated a.
an effect Of impotent jealousy.w
lcould have clapped my hands together
with delight; tho moro 20 - my lord left NO
time for any answer, but, bidding me with .
sign to follow him, went straight out OF the
hall
