pounds in weight. l was depressed

After suffering for months I de-

He put me on Grape-Nuts and my
health began to improve Immediately.

For instance, he asked"

night-who was there-hOw l enjoyed

ing as though we had been friends
for years. The grand vi@ier brought
in two mugs of cider, in zach a toast

diplomacy such as this. Naturally, l
was helpless"
You told him somewhat of your

II did not allow me to do that,
monsieur"
But he told you somewhat of this
country?'
'Ah, yes, yes, SO then l saw what
held him up in his work, what kept
him alive. l saw something | have

In a public man. His love for his

why l scarcely know. Yes. we spoke

Did he ask you what you know of
Mexico and England"
Rather what l knew of the poor in
Europe. l told him some things l
knew of that hopeless land-my
own land. Then he went on to tell
me of America and its hope of a free
democracy of the people. Believe me,
I listened to Mr.. Calhoun. Never
mind what we said of Mr.. Van Zandt
and Sir Richard Pakenham. At least,
as you know, l paid of a little score
with sir Richard that next morning.
What was strangest to me was the
fact that l forgot Mr.. Calhoun's at

Was there the slightest hooking

me as a faint-heart? l could not tell,
but did not like the thought.
believe me, madam" l answered
hotly, you have courage. at least.
Let me match it. Nor do 1 deny that
this asks courage on my part too. If
you please, in these circumstances, l
shall remain"
You are armed" she asked simply.
l inserted a finger in each waist
coat pocket and showed her the butts
of two derringers; and at the back OF
my neck-to her smiling amusement
at our heather fashion, displayed
just the tip of the haft of a short
bowie-knife, which went int a leather
case under the collar of my coat. And
again 1 drew around the belt which
l wore so that she could see the bar
rel of a good pistol, which had been
suspended under cover of the bell
skirt OF my coat.
She laughed. I saw h a she was
not unused to weapons. l should have
guessed her the daughter of a sol
der or acquainted with arms in some
