the Baron Observation-Disclosures was fully

For the same reason, suppose, neith-

But noticed rather strange circum-
stance which did not escape the major.
We were talking about the safety Of the

Brave Kinkow answered. Il am
awfully sorry to have caused you such
apprehensions. Now you are at ease
again, and I fancy your chances have
improved now we have made friends"
then asked Kinko to show me how
he managed in his box. Nothing could
be simpler or better arranged. At the
bottom was seat on which he sat, with
the necessary space for him to stretch
his legs when he placed them obliouely;
under the seat, shut in by lid. were
few provisions, and table utensils, re-
duced to a simple pocket knife and metal
mug; an Overcoat and a rug hung from
nail, and the little lamp he used at
night time was hooked on to one of the
walls.
