with a mounting intonation and his forefnger
verv conspicuously lifted up. "Be Mt rest; It
viii not fail you. IL now remains that

wearied with our family affairs"
And he bowed to each ia succession, settled
his walking sword. and took himself of, leav-

me not less 50 at my lords
We were now % enter on a changed phase
Of This family division. The master was by

kennel but about as high as a table from the
ground, i'm which the poor man that built IL
had formerly displayed some wares; and it
was this which took the masters fancy and
possibly suggested bis proceedings. ltappears,
on board the pirate ship, he had acquired
some quiciness with tho needle; enough al
least 20 play the part Of tailor in tho public
eye: which was all that was required by The
nature OF his vengeance. A placard was
hung above the hutch, bearing these words
