tate. While a small sx-roomed cot

feed for his own wants, the woods are
dotted here and there with loose horse
boxes all fitted up with electricity for
his faVorites. Now, however, Mr..
Paulet has made up a weird and novel
residence for himself. Two little
brick cottages on his estate standing
side-by-side have been united by
large hall, entered By large oak door
studded with great iron nails, above
which rises n tower circulated all
round like q medieval fortified castle.
AZ night he lights up the woods with
electricity, not only round about His
residence and the boxes where his
favorltes are Installed, but right W into
