then some things are too plain not to be
seen by the plainest of men.
1t soon became perfectly palpable that
there was some strange understanding
between Tom and his cousin. It was
very odd, too. I never had such sus-
picion before, but now, clear as day
light, it appeared and demanded recog-
milton. There was no doubling it; there
was an understanding. It was evidently
an arrangement to make me drive at the
risk Of all our necks that he might sit by
her. That his whine about his hands

Miss Blythe stood by the roaring CRATE;
