daring He once told the following anecdote to a friend of j Traveling in early manhood in a public con- j in a south-eastern state he found self in a company of three other persons con- sisting of a

whispering the man with her in the politest accent requested the stranger not to smoke as it annoyed his companion The fellow I reckon I've paid for my place I'll smoke as much as I darn please and all shan't stop me no how With that he looked gerous and rolled his eyes round as fiercely as a rattlesnake It was evident that he had no objection to a quarrel and that if it occurred it was likely to lead to a deadly struggle The nights afterwards as the tanner's family were young man who had spoken to him shrunk back Smith with a load of hides on his shoulder Without looking up he said I have brought these back Mr Savery where shall I put them Wait till I can get a lantern and I will go to the barn with he replied then haps come in and tell me how this happened We will see what can be done

elastic conscience He reflected a ment the being sure no third person overheard him replied unhesitatingly Mademoiselle according to our law you ways possess the means of a man to marry you You must remain on three sions alone with him then you can go before a judge and swear that he is your And that will suffice Monsieur Yes Mademoiselle with one further con- dition Well That you produce
