Barnabas, who took 1t with a Woro
of thanks and thrust it into an
inner pocket. while the viscount
stared at him under his drawn
brows.
But Barnabas, all unconscious,
proceeded to cut himself another
Slice of beef, offering to do the same
for the viscount.
Thank you-no,' said he.
''What-have you done, so soon?
yes" said he, and thereafter sat
watching Barnabas ply knife and

nothing like bare fists, after all, to
try a mans capabilities"
My lord" said Barnabas, you
will also remember that when l
told you I had boxed daily both with
Glorious John and Nathaniel Bell,

his elbow and gazing round about
him with an expression Of some
wonder, made answer, albeit also
pantingly and short of breath:
