The Poonah slipped In to her dock
under cover Of darkness. Amber, dis
embarking with Doggott, climbed into
an open ghari on the landing stage
and was driven swiftly to his hotel.
AS he alighted and. leaving Doggott
to settle with the ~ghariwallah, crossed
the sidewalk 70 the hotel entrance. a
beggar slipped through the throng OF
w~ayfarers, whining at his elbow.

Up to the day that the Poonah had

from the time he had left Quain

had felt he was being watched-had

A New England farmer, noted for
his uncontrolled temper, became con-

public.
A month later he was holding forth
to a number of friends and relatives
gathered at the Thanksgiving dinner
table on the subject of his religious
principles, his entire change of char

position.
Finally growing enthusiastic in his
description, he called on his wife to
uphold his assertions.
