hand of the duchess. AT the close Of the
first course servant brought round a
plate on which were dozen little
square piecessof toast, with delicate
morsel, apparently Of meat, upon each.
which he elected from the duchess to
consist of the inside Of woodcock, and
considered a great delicacy. Uncon-
scions that the plate was to go round.
he took it from the hands of the serv-
ant, placed 1t before him, and deliber-
ately ate up the whole of it, saying that
he found It excellent; but he ascer-
tanned that the delicate meat upon the
toast was not termed in polite circles
the stomach" but was called the
"trail." Whether that particular dish
or any other disagreed with his diges-
ton, know not, but it happened that
the same night, a little before midnight,
the duke heard the footsteps of his
guest walking up and down in the pas
sage adjoining the rooms in which they
both slept. The. duke lit candle,
opened his door, and went up to his
guest. and inquired whether he was suf-
fering any pain. and the latter replied:
