It would do well to cramp the articles dormant, besides the opportunity of reforming these beasts of the prerogative, and changing their profaner names of Harry and Charles into Nehemiah and Eleazar.

"Me, I am Eleazar, the ol' trap' man.

He say, 'Eleazar, you live here, all right.'

" "How long have you been here, Eleazar?"

"How long since she was here, Eleazar?"

"I'm here against my wish, Eleazar.

"Eleazar, you like money perhaps?" "Of course, yes.

" "Then listen, Eleazar.

Eleazar was shrewd in his own way.

Have you and Eleazar here planned any way to escape as yet?"

Eleazar had shuffled away.

" CHAPTER XX THE ART OF DOCTOR JAMIESON Eleazar proved a faithful messenger once more.

I've been grunting at Eleazar all the way, telling him it's all foolishness, my coming away out herehe could have fixed Dunwody's leg up, somehow.
