to the dialect ol ‘.hat part of the coun

bovo halt of what Dick and (tiles Oi-

meant when they spoke. “/ koniced.

Fraternal affection was a virtue
that did not flourish in the bosoms of
either of these young gentlemen.
Dick's greatest enemv on earth was
Giles; and if honest Giles bated any
human being except the master, it
was Dick. They were excellent
spins <»n each other’s conduct. Giles
novf r missed an opportunity of pro
curing Dick a castigation, and Dick
was equally active in making tne

Giles immediately walked from his

his brother, looked as though he had
something relative to communi

when, to the equal astonishment of its
