His lordship sighed plaintively. "Ar.d yet,” said he. sandwiching a slice of beef between two pieces rs bread with great care and nicety. • v- ho would be so mean-spirited as to ‘-ell that freedom which is the glorious prerogative of man <anri v mch I beg you to notice is a not ur.pleasmg phrase, sin who, I demand, would surrender this for a base smoked tongue?” Not forgetting a fine, cold bilcd ’am, Master Horatio, my lord. And now. wi’ your permission. 1 11 stand away for the village, leaving you to talk wi‘ this young gentleman and take them vittles aboard, till I bring up alongside again, Cap’ns orders. Master Horatio.” Saying which, the Bosun tofirhed. the glazed hat, went about, and. squaring his yards, bore away lor the village. ‘‘Sir,” said his lordship, glanring whimsically at Barnabas over his fast-disappearing lunch of bread and meat, "you have never oeen—railed upon to —sit in the stocks, perhaps?” ‘‘Never—as yet,” answered Barnabas, smiling. a a a •••* i rHY, then, sir, let me inform VV you the stocks have their virtues. 11l not deny a chair is more comfortable, and certainly more dignified, but give me the stocks for thought, there's nothing like 'em for profound meditation. The Bible says. I believe, that one should seek the seclusion of one's closet, but, believe me, for deep reverie there's nothing like the storks. You see. a poor devil has nothing else to do, therefore he meditates.” "And pray.” inquired Barnabas, ‘‘may I ask what brings you sitting in this place of thought?” "Three things, sir. namely, matrimony, a horse race, and a father. Three very serious matters, sir. and the last, the gravest of all. For you must know I am. shall I say—blessed? Yes, certainly, blessed in a father who is essentially Roman, being a man of his word, sir. Now a man of his word, more especially a father, may prove a very mixed blessing. •Speaking of fathers, generally, sir. you may have noticed that they are the most unreasonable class of beings, and delight to arrogate to themselves an authority which is. to say the least, trying; my father aspecially so—for. as I believe I hinted before, he is so infernally Roman.” ts tt tt INSTALLMENT THIRTEEN “TNDEJED." smiled Barnabas, ‘‘the A best of fathers are, after all. human.” "Aha!” cried his lordship, "there speaks experience. And yet. sir. these human fathers, one and all. believe in what I may term the divine right of fathers to thwart, and bother, and annoy sons old enough to be—ha—”

THE CURIOUS dugong has a somewhat human appearance when seen at a distance, and many persons believe this animal to be the cause of the once general belief in mermaids. At one time plentiful in the warmer seas of the world, the dugong now faces extinction. NEXT—Doe* thunder occur when theryuw no clouds Is the sky?

"To know their own minds,” said Barnabas. "Precisely.” nodded his lordship. Consequently, my Roman father and I fell out —my honored Roman and I frequently do fall out—but this morning, sir, unfortunately twas before breakfast.” Here his lordship snatched a hasty bite of bread and m?at with great eppoand gusto, while Barnabas sat. dreamy of eye, starmg away across the valley. "Pray,” said he suddenly, yet with his gaze still far away, “do you chance to be acquainted with a Sir Mor‘imer Carnaby?’ Acquainted.” cried his lordship, speaking with his mouth full. "Oh. 1 Gad, sir. every one who is any one ! is acquainted with Sir Mortimer Carnaby.” Ah! said Barnabas musingly, , "then you probably know him.” He honors me with his friendI ship.” Hum!” said Barnabas. Here his. lordship glanced up quickly and with a slight contrac- | non of the brow. a B b SIR,” he retorted, with a very creditable attempt at dignity, dr spite the stocks and his hunch ( of bread and meat, "Sir, permit me I to add that I am proud of his I friendship.” And pray,” inquired Barnabas, j turning his eyes suddenly to his j companion s face, “do you like 1 him?” "Like him, sir!” "Or trust him!” persisted Barn- ; abas, steadfast-eyed. “Trust him, sir,” his lordship repeated, his gaze beginning to wander, “trust him!” Here, chancing 1 to espy what yet remained of the bread and meat, he immediately took another bite, and when he ! spoke it was in a somewhat muffled ! tone in consequence. “Trust him? Egad. sir. the boot’s on t’ other leg, for ’twixt you and me. I owe him j a cool thousand, as it is!” “He is a great figure in the fashi ionable world. I understand,” said | Barnabas. He is the most admired buck in London, sir,” nodded his lordship, ."the most dashing, the most sought after, a boon companion of royalty 1 itself, sir, the Corinthian of Corin- | this ns.” "Do you mean.” said Barnabas, with his eyes on the distance again, “that he is a personal friend of the prince?" b n b ONE of the favored few." nodded his lordship, “and. talking of him. brings us back to my honored Roman.” “How so?” inquired Barnabas, his I gaze on the distance once more. “Because, sir, with that unreasonableness peculiar to fathers, he has taken a violent antipathy to my friend Carnaby, though, as far as I know, he has never met my friend Carnaby. This morning, sir. my father sumoned me to the library. “ ‘Horatio,’ says he, in his most Roman manner, —he never calls me Horatio unless about to treat me to the divine right of fathers,—‘Horatio.’ says he. ‘you’re old enough to marry.’ Indeed. I greatly fear so, | sir,’ says I. ‘Then,’ says he. solemn : as an owl. ‘why not settle down here | and marry?’ "Here he named a certain lovely j person whom, 'twixt you and me. sir, I have long ago determined to marry, but, in my own time, be it understood. “ Sir.’ said I. ‘believe me I would ride over and settle the matter with her this very morning, only that I am to race ‘‘Monmaker ’ la horse of mine, you’ll understand, sir) against Sir Mortimer Carnaby's Clasher and I should happen to break my neck, it might disappoint the lady in question, or even break her heart.’ (To Be Continued.)

When Colt regained consciousness. La tried to raise him to his feet; and, with considerable difficulty. she succeeded in doing so. She put one of his arms across her shoulders, and guided him back along the trail, while Jad-bal-ja followed at their heels.
