CHAPTER VII.

Although Mrs. Darlington was in search
20 health employment TO her was neceD
s;,v and abe early busted herself with af-
fa;ys ~ the cottage, but not in an obtru-
s;va way. Priding herself on her cookery
she took Measure in imparting what she
knew of the gentle art, and fonnd ready
learners. New England modes were q no;
yelty. and the dishes she produced
won her wide fame. The fra

Law i'm the sun to inhale tho odors
from the kitchen in the yard, and passers-
bv taxing a long breath, would wonder
what new element had been added to tropi-
cal odors. She had no strict formula IN
preparing her dishes, but thing OF
this and q thing" of that and tang OF
t'other and seasoning according 70 Judg-
ment. comprised the whole OF her vocabu-
iarv Of the cuisine. but she was infalllble
in her department. Her attitude in the
realm of doughnuts was sublime.
There were other things besides those
previously mentioned which appear
ed at the table occasionally in the form
IF chickens. pic now and then, white fish
from the river, and other things, but the
staple of plantain and salt hsh never
swcrved from its integrity, -, =,

whereof had been so impaired that 1t need

On one occasion there came up from the
kitchen smoking pie, the crust brown
and crisp, diffusing an odor most PRO-
voking to appetite. ..
Il declare" said Mrs. Darlington. that
il very fragrant, and wouldn't know that
it was not promulgated by myself. IL IS
certainly very credible thing"
At the table there was much praise for
the pie, and Mrs. Partington was accorded
the honors for its introduction.
"You deserve the credit of On original
discovery" said Mr.. Trimble, as he held
his plate for another quarter section.
"Well, don't know" she replied. it is
certainly very reprehensible, but l did not
eventuate it. 1t came down to me from
very remote antipathy."
When near the close of the meal she was
observed to be turning over h6ne upon
her plate, with a dubious expression upon
her face. II was strange object. the bone
with three projections, like the shade rest
of an argand lamp.
"What do You see?" said Mrs. Halsford,
looking at her daughter and smiling.
Ike was intent upon his meal and took
no notice.

and he rolled over and over in his agony.
Twas scorpion which he had often wish

never seen, though the pain did not last
long.
"What do you want to act so like the
Probable Son for 20 said Mrs. Darlington,
when quiet was restored, Il wish you
would show a little Jurisprudence, for if
you 60 on in this way you will am afraid
become an infringement on the family ex-
cUrsion."
Ike listened to the rebuke attentively,
sticking his knife into the wooden floor.
Mrs. Darlington celebrated her con-
valescence by frying large batch of her
grand doughnuts AMI sending goodly dish
of them to the Government House, with
her compliments to Governor Sir John
Ticker. who returned his thanks with the
empty dish. and thus assurance was given
that the conditions of peace would be pre-
served. unless the politicians should take

tington had become q fixture, her name
synonyIne for benevolence and profundity,
with health measurably attained, but she
was little homesick with the periodical
return of the Seven Pollies.

"Well." she said, "I have been used oil

such bone as this Pve never before ex-
temporized."
MY dear Mrs. Partington." said Mr..
Trimble, after you have concluded your
dinner | will show you the feathers"
The meat was very white and sweet and
the dame greatly enjoyed it. but that bone
was a mystery that she could not fathom.
A three-pronged bone, she said, was pa
rallax to her.
After the repast she went out with Mr..
Trimble to view the remains of the strange
fowl, and there nailed to board was the
skin of an immense Iguana, looking like
an alligator with arms and legs outspread,
the claws distending, With row of long
quilts down its back. well, well" said
she. smiling, this beats eating frogs hind

pursuers were relentless, and he rushed
into the presence Of Mrs. Darlington with
a halo Of the angry warriors about his
head. one of whom. without discrimi-
mating, made q dash at the dame and darted
q lance into her nose. causing her intense
agony. the member swelling instantly till it
resembled a mangel Worried beet.
Rescue for both parties came, and the in
sects were expelled, but the spectacle that
both presented was sight to be seen, not
described. and the curtain drops here,
leaving Mrs. Darlington and Ike to their
lotions and emollients, days intervening
before the injuries were repaired.
