 in the garden when this MT. Wave looking sane, came and seated him self beside me.
 Good afternoon he said in a slightly jeering tone How do you like the English climate after Cali fornia?"
 "I was never in California, MT Wave I said.
 "'San Francisco used to be in California; he observed sarcasti- l cally.
 "'Well, I never used to be-" I as- sured him in some amazement, for the man was talking in the most rational manner, and one felt one had to talk sensibly.
 "'Well, now, isn't that strange that they should call you Frisco Fanny when you've never been in San Francisco'?"

 That's apparently what this man Wave thought.
 "'Who calls me Frisco Fan nyo?' I laughed, humoring him.
 "Doesn't Half-hung Simon?' he asked. turning upon me with an ac- cusing glare.

 "He wouldn't hear of it, I'm sure Strict rule of the house :. We'll directly my lunatic heard that J not only had brother in ths neighborhood but that he was ac- tually Vicar of the parish where wes lived all our lives, he accept ed my statement that I was no Frisco Fanny, apoligized humbly . and said he could not blame him. i self too severely for not realizing ] the moment he first set eyes upor
 me, that was Catherine the Grea who was the well-beloved of Ad : miral Nelson"
 , A hearty peal of laughter shool , the Vicar and his creaking chair l "It's a shame to laugh" he said ] but it is really very funny" : yes smiled his sister. T
 would be funny if it weren't so ter r riDly pathetic. E. And little wor l rying. For he came to me r day or two later and, with ever, 7 appearance of sanity and solemni : ty. tried to put me on my guar l against Dr. Charters himself. H : begged me to watch over Marjori : Lauderdell with scrupulous care and to see that no one but mysel 7 gave her any medicine. : He's got it firmly into his hea' . that some ones going to injur 7 Marjorie, and he more than hinte efthat the Doctor is an imposter an
