I were required in the case of MT 1 Lewsome who had been taken sudden | ly and violently i'll in hotel. JohT | Westlock's address had been found 1T l his pocket and John though he only remembered the man as an old school I fellow whom he had not seen for years l came like the good fellow he was and was without funds. Mrs Camp stood
 watch with her friend Betsy Prig.
 -Is he quiet?" asked Mrs. Camp, ai l she prepared to relieve Betsy the frs' night of their watch.
 "Oh, he talks and talks, but don't say nothing" replied Mrs. Prig. The pickled salmon is first class. sairy and here's the bottle"
 At this Mrs. Prig took such long swing at 1t that Mrs. Camp said to her reproachfully: Whatever you do. Bet sy, drink fair"
 "The chair is hard" said Mrs. Prig, you'll want his piller." So after the departure of Betsy, Mrs. Camp snatch ed the pillow from under the head of the sick man and making herself com fortable and making another attack upon the bottle composed herself for repose.
 Wearily the head of the sick man rolled, steadily, monotonously from side to side and his incoherent nut tering continued. "Drat it." exclaimed Mrs. Camp at last, cant you keep still and let me sleep?" She shook the patient roughly and as she did SO, over- come by professional instinct. held his arms down to his side and thought how he would look as a corpse. After that Sairy slept. Suddenly she heard a name shouted that broke her slumbers. "Chuzzlewit."
 Sairey sat up and listened. Surely it came from the sick man. She lis- tened carefully to his mutterings after that and gleaned from them things which made her ponder. While she had been at Jonas Chuzzlewit's she had heard muttering from old Chuffey that htted in with what the sick man babbled.
 Meanwhile in the Wiltshire village which was honored by the residence of the estimable Pecksniff. there were some changes taking place which had to do with the history of the Chuz- zlewit family. Young Martin and Mark Tapley had come back from America. Mark had found there all the condi- tions which he could desire to test his power of being jolly under adverse circumstances. Martin had met such Americans as Mir. Jefferson Brick and Major Hawkins, who were powerful fin '1ambasting" the 'effete monarchies of Europe" and also. fortunate for him, q MT. Bevins, another sort of American. from whom he had borrowed money enough to get back to England. He had been lured to a dismal Doom town named Eden" by its cynical promoters. It sat by the side of malarial river. where he had suffered sickness. poverty and dssolation. He had nearly died, and he was glad. in- deed to see the shores of England once more.
 There was holiday in the seaport town at which Martin and Mark landed. The corner stone of a new grammar school was to be laid that day. The great MT. Pecksniff had won the competition for the best plan. Mar tin happened to see the plan It was one which he himself had drawn while a student of Pecksnifrs and which that worthy gentleman had sp- propriated.
 Martin learned that his grandfather was living with Peck sniff and went to see him. His pride, his confidence his "firmness" were all gone now
