“I mean wljat I said,” he answered,

with rage; his thin hoard bristled; lie was
the color of a turkey cock’s comb. At
homo wo should have thought him a com

absurd hero. For one thin<*, ho looked
spiteful enough for anything, and for an
other, though I topped him hy a head and
shoulders, I could not flatter myself that
ho was afraid of me. On tho contrary, I
felt that in tho presence of Ins mistress,
small and shortsighted as ho was, he
would have faced a lion without wink

His courage was not to be put to tho

some retort which should provoke him

‘‘You know who this is, Master Francis,”
ho continued heartily, “or havo you not j
been introduced to Master Van Tree, the
betrothed of our host’s daughter?” !
“Mistress Uymphna has done mo that j
honor,” I said stiffly, recovering inyself in
appearance, while at heart soro aud angry
with everybody. “But I fear the Dutch
gentleman has not thanked her for tho in
troduction since ho learned that my
grandmother was .Spanish
“Your grandmother, do you mean?’
cried the duchess much astonished.
“Yes, madam.
“Well, to be sure,” she exclaimed lift

" Castoria is the best lemedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup nml oilier
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
sending them to premature graves.”
