days of my .versall lifei IT'S right thank
full, 1 am, my brisk young man, you came
so happily. My good man will pay you
for your pains when he comes back from

vow! These rakeheels of Leisler will be

our shops in broad day and say lis for

Ow! owl Bloody murder Watch!'
Her cries broke out again, and with
reason, for a great uproar had commence

Waiting for no watch, whose coming he
rightly reckoned. would be long after the
game, if ever, Oziel sprang up the mar
row stairway, and al the top came full
upon the others of the band of rascals
whose presence the shopwoman had over
looked. They had penetrated for plumber
farther than their comrades and had even
broken in upon the privacy of little

sight between the rioters shoulders, of
that familiar sallow face, its big mouth,
the great ears, the yellow blotches, Oziel
cried out amazedly and fell upon the men
vigorously from behind. The little mans

the two attacks in front and rear, the
robbers broke downstairs in a mighty
hurry aud tumbled into the shop and out
on the street before the good wife, with
shut eyes and open throat, was done
yelling.

What have you done with the boy?'
Ozcl did not at once answer, so strange
and conflicting were his emotions at sight
of the ruling elder and rich trader of his
native township He was undoubtedly re-
joiced, it was vast relief to him, TO know
that old Gabriel lived after the stunning
blow on the beach. That made his own re-
