as Dame Hannah in 'Rnddigore’ I had'
to go on with a small dagger. with

wicked baronet's life. When my turn
came round, the dagger had disappeared
and was nowhclre to be found. Noth-

a terrible stage wait, and at last Mr.

citizen said in his wife as she started
for church. " If you moo-t Dr. ~—.—-. send

him. and the hum of forceps was soon
with the sum-ring citizen, whose cour-
age fell in 7.er on selling billl. “Fact
was he didn‘t think his wife would
meet the lim'iul“. and if the latter would
accept paynwlut for his trouble he
would be glad to have him go away
without tortuiling an unwilling vic-
tim." ”Let's see theuiiender,” said
the dentist, and then. following up the
