is reading a proclamation at the donr; for
the inmates of the ;avern are collecting

"They are on the track of some ras

"I will ride forward and see what is

giving his mare a cut with the whip, he
galloped off.. .
In a few moments I arrived at The

in frcst of the house; and him I' addressed.'

as if with a whip hsndle. I arrose, and
walking out to the hall, opened the door.
On the threshhejd stood Mr. Baker ; but
I was surprised to sehim in such a state
as he wa3. He looked as if he had been
riding for hi3 life ; and his little black
mare smoked and puffed so, that I inqui

Mr. Redbrow bad been talking the

"Rather warm weather for such fat

We entered the sitting room, and, tell

the kitchen to prepare supper. In a fey
