CHAPTER V

Where flnrdcn treet croaae tha

brandishing hla hell. I approached
him with a request for the location of
Captain tin Home' house. .
''Do you but follow your no
straight before yog," he directed me,
"until you com to the red brick man
lion with the yellow brick walk thl
aide of the Green lane. That la hi."
The nero servant who answered my
knock admitted that the governor wa

'Hut Mas Burnet done bab da

"I am thl minute landed with let

aald.
"Oh, bery well, aah. Pat be a dlf

glad to aee yo'. 1)1 way, please."
He ushered me Into the wide hall

"Ye, your excellency wllh Master

"That la well. He eeated. lrj ha

I found a chair by the fireplace, and
watched In alienee whilst he read
thmtik'h the close-writ page, with an
occasional word or Interjection to the
other, who had rtaen from their
places and were clustered about him.
They were, a I afterward learned, the
most prominent men of the governor1
faction In the province, who strove to
rllnch the control of the fur trde In
Knirllsh hands.
"Sol Humph !"
The governor laid down the cover

"You are Master "

He turned from me to hi councilor.

Excess of Gratitude Not a Common Fault
Gratitude, In many people. It only
itrong and aecret dealra for further
favor. I believe It waa Qoeth wbo
wrote; ."He who ta not grateful for a
favor may be likened to on who mud
dle th iprlng from which hla thlrat
wa quenched."
When gratitude, I heard another

ing, there are many way of escaping
Ita bond. Thl I only another man

gratitude I merchant not a hene
fuctor. Gratitude, which the anclenta
alway painted In the brlghteat color,

Honor de Halimc, In probably on of

gratitude waa foolish word; that
though appearing In th dictionary, It

Sluggish kidney function permit reten

makes one an easier victim of winter's
