Burgoyne, stealing a hook of her, their
eyes steel. Ile is startled by the singit-

provocation given, not unjustifiab`e.
They both reply vaguely that they had
lost them'eh'es, that they had gone
deeper into the wood. it is obvious to
the meanest inlellip'n; a flint neither of
trent has the slightest idea where They
have been.
"1 may ns well tell the driver to put
